How could that be?!? Now I'll have to use an electric motor on the front
wheels and a generator on my rear wheels to get my free energy.

My idea is to drive on roads that only go downhill. 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. My idea puts them to shame.

The outrageous thing about the "run your car on water" scam was the
perpetual motion (of the first type) aspect of it. 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.

In the Mythbusters episode, Jamie and Adam calculated that, using the
"water to hydrogen" kit they bought, which used grid power to generate
the hydrogen, they would need about 1 MW to produce enough hydrogen to
run the car, at idle, for 10 minutes.
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.

I am not sure, but I think the theory is that you only engage the
electrolysis when you are slowing down. 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.

It must be true. I remember when Detroit used to make those big huge
cars, and people used to say "there goes a big boat".

Every year, hundreds of people die thinking they can run their cars on
water. Even an inch of running water is enough to sweep a car away.
Oh, wait, that's not what they meant? Never mind.
