I think you mean anti-detonation injection. It was used on big
aircraft engines for years. When the engine was run at full power like
at takeoff, a mixture of alcohol and water was sprayed into the fuel
air mixture to prevent detonation. When the power was reduced to a
more cruse setting the injection was turned off. The engine did not
run on water. I saw a web site claiming 50% better mileage by
hydrolysis of water into hydrogen and oxygen. It takes power to brake
to oxygen and hydrogen bonds. It is at least as much power as you then
get from burning it to again make water. No process is 100% efficient.
I have to laugh at the new super efficient cars. Unless you are using
a renewable energy source You are wasting energy. Every time you
change state, you take a loss. Oil to heat, heat to steam, steam to
turbine to generator through transmission lines to make hydrogen or
charge a battery. Its like global warming. It's not science it is a
religion or a cult.

No, but this one is 100% fraudulent.

The super efficient cars on the road today are hybrids which don't use
any current from the grid. They are demonstrably more efficient than
conventional cars. As for the plug-in models which may or may not
appear in the future, they could easily be more efficient than an ICE
car which has its own set of inefficiencies.

Why is it that the scientists all think it is a science and the right
wing media thinks it's a cult? Is this like evolution? Non-geocentric
universe?

Newsflash!

There is a growing in the rank and file of skeptics that include
numerous internationally known scientists.

Do a some research and utilize a little independent thinking.

the title is: gasoline "AND" water, not "instead of". steam injection
is not new. steam expands more across a temperature gradient than most
other gases. it therefore improves power yield when using what might
otherwise be waste heat from combustion. many jet engines used to use
it on takeoff for extra power.

http://www.airliners.net/discussions...ad.main/51049/

it's also been researched for diesel
http://www.sae.org/technical/papers/2003-01-3249

and it's used in gasoline engines for racing.

Electric cars are not practical. Hybrid electric and plug-in hybrid
cars are novelties. I fail to see how they will become mainstream,
even the day that petroleum runs out.

As for renewable energy sources, if the production involves the use of
fossil fuel, then it's a fraud, be it hydrogen economy, ethanol
economy and even methanol economy. If i have to make a choice, then
i'm inclined towards methanol for its lower production cost and the
availabilty of raw material (coal)

American cars is now running partly on corn that can be used to feed
people and livestock. It's only a matter of time when Americans give
up corn bread and sausage for rice and tofu, so that they can pump
gas..

Mainstream? Like a Ford Explorer was mainstream when it was the best
selling SUV? Did you hear that Prius outsold Explorer last year?

When gas is threatening to hit $4, how is something that dramatically
reduces fuel consumption a novelty?

The Jury is still out on electric cars. A few years ago they were a
joke. Improving technology and rising fuel prices may make them
practical. We'll see. I confess to having significant doubt about
this.

What you really mean is, "Is it a net gain in energy." It can be.
Again, the jury is out. Ethanol is really solar power, but harnessing
it is not necessarily efficient. Especially if you are using corn.

Still have to look at the overall efficiency.

Of all the above, electric hybrid is the only one widely available and
demonstrably saving energy right now.

Oh, I think that "plug in" electric cars are on the brink of being
practical and could go a long way to end out dependence on foreign
fossil fuels. As soon as a compact sedan is produced that has a range of
over 200 miles per charge, the picture will change drastically.

The time has come to end this addiction to internal combustion engines
simply to end the economic blackmail being practiced by OPEC and others.

Ethanol has proved to be practical in Brazil where it has been the main
fuel for automobiles for decades. So successful is their program that a
substantial portion their own limited oil production is exported.

Blame that on the stranglehold that big agriculture, (Archer-Daniels
etc.) have on most farm production. Grow corn for ethanol, they win
both ways and so does big oil since they distribute the product.

I agree that creationists are the bottom of the barrel, but this is
exactly the same tactic. A handful of scientists, mostly untrained in
the relevant discipline, being paraded out as a "credible opposition"
to the consensus opinion of the experts in field. Evolution is a
theory in crises. Is that how you would describe the theory of
anthropogenic global warming?

If you are going to cite Nobel Prize winners, why don't you cite the
climatologist; Stephen Schneider.

Gray is an old-time Hurricane expert, not really a climatology guy.

Note that the batteries in hybrid cars are charged by the good old
gasoline-powered engines and it takes a loss in the transformation of
engery. Hybrid technology is only about regenerative braking, which
saves just a little energy, at the expense of extra components. And
net gain in energy? Zero!!

You can clearly see that Prius used all the tricks in the book for
fuel efficiency, it has a small engine, very high compression ratio, a
minimal gross weight, and a streamline body. That's how it gets good
mpg. The electric components are not doing any good. They are there as
an excuse for making smaller and more efficient internal combustion
engines, which is very un-American... haha!!!

Plug-in hybrid is inconvenient, but it's honest. Hybrid is not just a
novelty, i would say it's a scam. Manufacturers are leading comsumers
into thinking that somehow the energy recovered from regenerative
braking can do any significant work. Strip the Prius off all of its
hybrid nonsense and it would do even better!

Hybrid vehicles are the most fuel efficient models in every category
where they are available. The improvement in fuel efficiency with the
best systems is very significant. Your criticism is that the
batteries don't suck energy out of the air. Well, no . Hybrids
save fuel. As far as I can tell, that is just as good as sucking
energy out of the air.

>You can clearly see that Prius used all the tricks in the book for

Bullshit.

First of all, the smaller engine is possible because the electric
motor provides additional power to compensate. That is one of the
ways that the hybrid system saves fuel. The smaller engine operates
at more efficient power levels more of the time and it also saves some
weight.

Second: regenerative braking is meaningless unless you have a battery
to store the recovered energy and a motor to use it later. It is
analogous to saying you don't need that piston engine because all the
energy comes from gasoline.

Third: If you want to minimize gross weight, the place to start would
be that very heavy and supposedly worthless battery and motor. At a
curb weight of 2932 pounds, the Prius looks pretty heavy if you don't
consider the hybrid hardware. Minimizing weight hardly compensates
for carrying dead weight, so the hybrid system must be earning its
keep.

Fourth: Streamline body? Have you noticed that Prius gets better
mileage in the city than on the highway?

Fifth: If all of the above plus a compression ratio (13.0:1) were all
it took to get 40+ mpg, there would be all kinds of 40+ mpg cars out
there. But the only ones are hybrids. Even the Yaris can't touch the
Prius. That alone tell you something is going on here.

wt. Eng. Comp Aero mpg
Prius 2932 1.5L 13.0 : 1 ? 48/45
Yaris 2326 1.5L 10.5 : 1 ? 29/37

Civic Hy 2877 1.3 10.8 Identical 40/45
Civic 2690 1.8 10.5 Identical 25/36

Seems like those electrical components are doing something.
