Simple test to assess your gullibility.

Do you believe any of this?
 
I believe it. Calcium carbonate+water = energy. An internal combustion engine could run for a short time off that.
 
I know there are car engine designs that can run on water, but I don't think thats real, think about what's being offered, what we haven't heared about until now and how little it costs. The patent for that idea would go straight to a big manufacturer for millions of pounds if it was real.
 
[sarcasm]Damn, my car isn't on the list. I was really looking forward to using such technology[/sarcasm]
 
Also there's manufacturers on that list that share engines with manufacturers not on that list.

All it says is you can run a car on water. It probably requires a very expensive catalyst.

Mmm-hmmm. And produce only water vapour and oxygen, as claimed?

Besides, how do you react calcium carbonate with water anyway, and where does it mention calcium carbonate being required as a fuel? If somehow you can turn calcium carbonate and water into oxygen and water, what happens to the remaining calcium and carbon?

That's just the start of the claims.

(grasping at straws) nuclear power + water = steam engine!

All I'm saying is, I think there is some sort of legitimacy to the claim. You probably do get plans, just very impractical and expensive ones. I don't seriously think that this si some sort of unknown perpetual-motion machine type thing...
 
It's not the only auction either...

Similar ones include the claims that:

Cost of parts needed is under £100 though several hours labour time are required to fit and set up the system.

Not to mention:

Q: Isn’t this really a steam engine?
A: No. Really.

The solution to the alleged world oil problem - yours for £2 on eBay!

:lol:
 
This is bull. You can convert your car to make water (hydrogen combustion) but not ot run on it.

If it's true I'll kick myself in the balls and make a video of it for you all to watch.
 
I feel inspired to make an auction selling details on how to make your car use no fuel whatsoever.

If anyone buys it, they get a diagram of Fred Flinstone's car.


(Yes yes I know that's still technically using fuel, but I couldn't think of another way to discribe it)
 
It's possible to run a car on a wide range on things includiong alcahol but the whole approach to this seems wrong. Also I think we'd have heared about it in at least one car magazine if it was feasible to do it anyway.

I also think Famine may be telling us the answer in the thread title, Are you gullible? Yes or No in the poll with no in Italics. Either that or he's saeeing if were gullible enough to follow his hints that it's not possible without actually knowing.

:banghead: that's just chalk, isn't it? I was thinking of the reaction where you get acetelene gas....calcium carbide, thats what it is...

P.S. In case you can't tell, I didn't read though the whole page and don't plan on doing so...
 
Q: What kind of performance can I expect?

A: Properly adjusted, your modified vapor-only fuel system will run cooler, and at a modestly higher power level. The mileage performance expected from this design ranges from 50-300 mpg (of water), depending on your adjusting skills.

This is like the bestest thing on eBay since uhhh, since a toast burnt in image of the Christ! :eek:👍

It's in italics because that's the one you voted for.
 
Ah, oh well, I never noticed that before. Mind you I'm not the most alert person on earth at 1am.
 
Jesus toast!

No, I'm kidding. I've never even seen something that crazy on my toast or any other food.
 
My chemistry teacher told us a joke about some scientist testing the lethality of Dihydrogen Monoxide. Nobody got it, until she told us. I won't say anything, though.
Actually, I think your lingk is what she was talking about. Hilarious! I wonder if anyone else gets it...

Besides Famine, of course, he gets everything.
 
I bet he wouldn't get the joke! Really, try it.
 
I just have on question for the world:

HOW THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU THINK IT IS POSSIBLE TO RUN A CAR ON WATER??!!

(checks blood pressure)

Okay, I'm calming down. Seriously though, which "minor" modifications can be made to convert an engine which vaporizes and burns a combustible fuel into one which somehow uses one of the most inert substances on earth as an energy source?

Here's my idea for a water-powered car:

Attach a water tower to the roof. 200-300 feet tall should be plenty. Have the water in the tower fall onto a waterwheel. The waterwheel should be about 20 feet in diameter. The waterwheel will spin, and create electricity, which will drive the car. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to see my local patent attorney. 💡

Catalysts are not magic beans.

How will the water get 200-300 feet into the tower? Collected from rain?
 
Its been 4 months and i'm still waiting for this to come in the mail. I'm about to leave negative feedback if it doesn't arrive soon.

I can't wait for me and my car to drink from my neighbours backyard hose together. Aww.
