A twin turbo Acura V6 sports car

[swbatte]

I'm not kidding. Let's see if this thing holds any promise. Anyone else seen it?

Nice find, It would be nice to have it produced








BUT 150k!!

sounds promising

Pretty cool but the car in person looks terrible. It comes across as chubby, bubbly, and kit-carish. At least it has a good heart (who could argue with a honda TT V6)

Using a system which Ronn Motor Company calls H2GO, owners simply fill up an auxiliary tank with water, and, through the process of electrolysis, the car makes its own hydrogen while on the move. It's a convenient solution to a lack of hydrogen fuelling stations.

Cool. They've invented perpetual motion. Good to know people can break the laws of physics.

Nothing in that statement suggests perpetual motion...for one thing it says you have to fill up with water

Exactly, but now the question is:

can they produce enough hydrogen to support the engine demand?


Hummm ...

That's the point.

It takes more energy to produce hydrogen from water than the hydrogen provides when burned.

ie, the energy used to to break up the water into hydrogen and oxygen might as well be used to power the wheels. Any intermediate step (producing hydrogen) is a waste of power.

+1. The claims don't pass the sniff test. They may as well say you can either run it off gasoline or turn on the cold fusion generator.
