A water-fuelled car is a motor vehicle in which water is the fuel without any other energy output. Hydrogen, from the compound of water, is the fuel in water-fuelled cars. Using the hydrogen for fuel does not make this type of vehicle a steam engine.
Wood or coal is burned to heat up the water in a steam engine. The steam is that which moves the engine due to it being heated. This process makes the coal or wood the fuel source not the water.
Because water is a waste product, it is hard to convert it into fuel. Petrol (gas), wood or coal converts fuel into a substance with less energy. Energy is converted by being released when unstable bonds are converted into stable bonds.
It is hard to convert water because it is already a very stable bond. Water resists most reactions due to its stability. A high-energy compound must be added for water to be converted into energy.
A high-energy compound like calcium carbine, when added to water, will make the fuel acetylene. This makes the fuel calcium carbine not the water in this case. To make fuel from water the only real way is by electrolysis.
A current of power is sent through the water to separate the bonds; this is electrolysis. Two molecules of hydrogen and one of oxygen make water where the hydrogen molecules are the energy source. To separate this bond, it takes a lot of power.
It is not completely considered a water-fuelled engine because this type of engine needs a battery to be able to convert the water into energy by electrolysis. An efficiency of 50-70% is the conversion of hydrogen. The vehicle does not stay moving very long because using that much energy from the battery does not allow it to last very long.
A proper and successful water fuelled car has yet to be designed. Creating a truly water-fuelled vehicle is blocked by the first and second laws of thermodynamics. Many vehicles that have been created with the idea that they are water-fuelled have been classified as perpetual motion machines due to the strictness of these two laws.
There is an invention that could quite possibly be a true water-fuelled car, in Japan, but it still hasn’t received its patent. To be marketed, an invention must receive a patent. Other companies cannot copy an invention if there is a patent.
It is possible that they have finally found a way to use the abundant resource of water for fuel with the Japanese company trying to hard to get their patent. Then the millions around the world who have been hurt by the raise of the price of petrol can breathe a little more easily if this is the case. We will have a cleaner and cheaper way to get around in the not so distant future.
This truly wonderful invention has not yet been leaked to other manufacturers. The Japanese are strictly keeping their secret to themselves. Within the next ten years, however, they do believe that they will have it patented.
