Water Powered Car - Too Good to be True?

Is the Idea of a water powered car too good to be true? In a time where the price of gasoline is sky high, one would think so.

However the idea of a water powered car is in fact a reality. For years scientist have been working on alternative fuel sources for cars. Some of the more popular ideas are the Solar Powered Car, The Hydrogen Powered Car, The Steam Powered Car, and Hybrid and Bio Fuel Cars. Lets look at some of the advantages and disadvantages of each.

The Solar Powered Car has been around for a while now, however no major car manufacturer has picked up production of these vehicles in mass quantities. Some challenges facing solar powered cars are miles per hour and horse power. while being able to be powered without gasoline these vehicles don't typically travel fast and have limited horse power.

The Steam powered car requires lots of steam pressure to be built up in order to run. Storing steam at such high pressures proved to be not only dangerous in the event of accidents but also hazardous in the event of a mechanical malfunction, and the risk at the moment is to great for it to be effective.

Hybrid cars are definately on the rise and a rising favorite of auto manufacturers. A Hybrid car is a combination of an internal combustion engine, usually powered by gasoline or diesel, and an electric motor powered by a battery that can be charged. These Vehicles offer a greater increase in MPG efficiency than current automobiles. however to take advantage of this change you must purchase a new vehicle. This technology is new and relatively expensive.

Bio-fuel is a favorite of the government. Bio-fuel is made from renewable energy sources, such as corn or soybeans. The disadvantages of bio-fuels are that they take up the farmland once used to grow crops for food consumption. This decreases the amount of crops available for food consumption and drives up the cost of corn or soybean, while at the same time decreasing the farmland available to grow food for consumption.

Hydrogen Powered Cars have long been a heavily desired commodity, they would be extremely environmentally friendly, since hydrogen is a renewable resource. However the problem has long been that hydrogen is extremely flammable and there has not, until recently, been a way to store it safely in large quantities. So what changed?

In the Early 1990's a Gentleman by the name of Stan Meyers realized that hydrogen was already stored, in large amounts, in the form of water. He realized that if a way was found to release the hydrogen already found in water that the hydrogen could then be burned in an internal combustion engine as a fuel source. This fuel source would then be not only cleaner burning, resulting in cleaner emissions, but would also be renewable since the hydrogen once burned would exhaust in the form of water vapor. The end result would be a water powered car. Because water could be stored locally in the car and the hydrogen separated on demand, and burned as needed.

Stan's dream was to give everyday people an alternative to the costly oil companies, and at the same time free America from its dependence on foreign oil. He did in fact create a conversion kit for the gas powered internal combustion engine that allows it to run on water.
