I dont get how HHO is any different from H2O. Its the same chemical formula...and Hydrogen can't hold 4 electrons so Oxygen has to be the central atom. So confused...

There won't be a water shortage, think about all the water we use everyday all day, and how many millions and millions of people use it. Maybe this can be our next type of fuel, hell I would love that. Give me a case of water and i'm good to drive for a few weeks.

I wonder if it burns as good as gas...though it seems it does. Also wonder if it needs to be purified water or can we just go to the lake to fill up. Purifing water isn't cheap but I guess it's cheapper than gas.

I give it at least 50 years until something like this happens, considering all the oil companies have yielded to this technology. Until then, we're stuck with gas.

that would be pretty cool, but i'm thinking it requires distilled water as well...cheaper than gas, yes, until the oil companies catch wind of it, then that will go up too

besides, you don't have to drill water...plenty of guys would be out of work....wonder if it would inherently increase humidty worldwide though, since burning it converts it back to water....x millions of cars burning it day in and day out..

This sucks. A few of my fellow engineering students and I were talking a month or two ago about how we could process water to use as a fuel or for other things. We were thinking about trying to get university funding to research into this.
Damn, that would have been a lot of fun too.

This is sweet, now i can just fill up at the house instead. I wonder if there is gonna be premium and super premium HH0. Life would be soo much better. Less smog and pollution. Then we can just get out of IRAQ.

Even if the entire world was behind a movement to get water fuel quick, America won't change the least bit till the retard is out of office.

This report is very confusing. It mostly seems like its spliting the water and combusting it back together, which isnt anything new. But they act like its something new and wonderful so there must be something going on. They call the gas after electrolysis HHO, which my friends and I cant seem to understand what this is describing. I was wondering if maybe he gets it to some unsatable unaturaly bonding state that holds a lot of engery. Just hydrogen and oxygen seperate doesnt seem like it would ever create as much heat as they were showing, that combustion holds a ton less engery than things like gasoline and ethanol. Perhaps this HHO is just a more effiecient way of storing the energy from electrolysis, that might seem useful then.

I am assuming that HHO means the molecule is bonded as H-H-O instead of H-O-H that water normally is. This is literally breaking molecules and creating molecules. There is huge amounts of power to be harnessed here, as we can see.

And sure this has been done before, but look at what he has done with it. He can probably get a car completly running on this, so that would be awesome.

If we ran gas/water hybrid like him we could easily get 100+ mpg AND maybe more power.

Um, yeah, this is a great idea... that is until the U.S. government gets ahold of the tech. then starts exploiting it and those that use it. Oh wait, that would be US...

Oh, just like in the past, he'll just quietly vanish and nothing will come of it.

This is much too large a threat to the big players.
