What Are Water Fueled Cars?
March 18th, 2008
Many of us wonder what water fueled cars are. They are actually hypothetical motor cars that use ordinary water as fuel. This is not the same concept as a steam engine which uses water to transmit energy from the fire or other heat source to the pistons or turbine that do the work of tuning the engine. This is also not the same concept as a hydrogen car. To fuel a hydrogen car from water, energy from a power plant is used to generate hydrogen from electrolysis, which is then either burned in the car’s engine or merged with oxygen to create water via a fuel cell. Both methods produce energy used to create motion. The car ultimately receives its energy from the power plant, with the hydrogen acting as an energy carrier. The water-fuelled car, on the other hand, would have to create or extract energy from the water itself with no other energy input.
