This way you would not only use zero energy, but you'd use your generator to make surplus electricity at the same time. Such a deal! Perpetual motion machines? Phooey.

what about hydrogen cars or steam cars?

In their scheme the hydrogen was produced on board from electricity that was in turn produced by the alternator and ultimately supplied by the engine output. The hydrogen was used as a supplement to the gasoline normally supplied to the engine so it worked just fine, but the system naturally reduced rather than increased efficiency by virtue of the conversion losses.

Oh yeah, they had to find a car with a carb, since it didn't work with injectors. And the sucker burped through the carb a couple of times. -- - dillon I am not invalid Hi, I'm Michael Phelps and Olympic Gold isn't the only Gold I'm thinking of.

At that time, the kinetic energy is being wasted anyway. Basically it is like a hybrid except, even the biggest alternator you can get wouldn't produce enough hydrogen under those conditions to have any noticeable impact on fuel economy. Needless to say, it's a fraud. |

Even an inch of running water is enough to sweep a car away. Oh, wait, that's not what they meant? Never mind. -- - dillon I am not invalid Hi, I'm Michael Phelps and Olympic Gold isn't the only Gold I'm thinking of. Hi, I'm Michael Phelps and when I'm on Maui, Wowwie. |
