Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- The technology to run an internal combustion engine on water already exists. Water is H2O (two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen). Hydrogen is more efficient (burns hotter) than gasoline. As I understand it, making the process of separating the hydrogen from the oxygen efficient enough to be useful for everyday use is the puzzle yet to be fully solved. What's more interesting is that the combustion process recombines the hydrogen and oxygen atoms, so the exhaust is pure water vapor which can be run through the system again and again. I watched a news report the other night that showed a guy actually welding, using water as his fuel supply. I know that the oil companies are already working on the production and supply of hydrogen for automobile fuel. It is likely that you'll be driving a hydrogen powered car within the next fifteen to twenty years. I'm less convinced that any of us will be pumping water into our fuel tanks when we leave for the dog shows, but you never know. As I said, that technology already exists. If you think about it, just fifteen years ago or so, who would have guessed that we'd all be sitting in front of computers, talking dogs each day?
