Mythbusters tried it last week on their show, and busted it flat. You simply cant produce enough hydrogen on board a car, to power the car. Its easy to produce hydrogen, in miniscule amounts, but enough to power a car? Nope.

I'm no expert, but that would have been my guess too. Freshman chemistry taught me that equations have to balance. On one side, we have water, on the other side, we have the same amount of water, recombined at the tailpipe after combustion. Energy is produced to move the car down the road, so how much energy (electricity) must be input in order to balance the equation?

MYTHBUSTERS BUMP.

OTOH, they did confirm on the same program that filtered, used cooling oil can be used directly (without having to refine/distill in a reactor) in a diesel car - looks like an older Merz. 300 Diesel was used. I wonder if that's REALLY true. If so, I could be riding around for a lot cheaper on my TDI than I am now.

The video seems to say otherwise

Unless you've got a really long hose.

It's amazing to me that so many Americans have so little education/knowledge that they need to be convinced by a TV show like this before they realize that a scam like this is bullshiite.
