Full Version: Aquygen, the fuel of the future?

I know that many of you are aware that new types of alternative fuels are being studied due to high gas prices and the possibility of global warming. Several months ago I found out that a new form of hydrogen based fuel was discovered. I forgot about it until now when I was doing a little youtube browsing and found a news clip about this new fuel and how it is progressing.

The best part about Aquygen is that it doesn't require a lot of special equipment to hold and pump. Unlike a hydrogen fuel cell (being tested by many big auto companies such as Ford), where hydrogen is stored at a dangerous 10,000 PSI, Aquygen is only stored at 60 PSI. It is no more dangerous than gasoline, and gasoline tanks can probably be retro fit to handle it. One of the biggest problems with hydrogen cell cars is how dangerous it is to store the fuel, and it is a major factor why we don't have any hydrogen cars on the road today.

It can be used as a hybrid fuel currently and the Aqygen is created as you drive. The combustion of the hybrid engine helps to produce the fuel. They have not developed a car that runs totally on Aquygen yet, but I believe it will happen. They already have a lawnmower that runs on 100 percent Aquygen. A car that gets 30mpg on gas, will get 60 mpg on a mixture of Aquygen and gas.

You can even order up a portable Auqygen generator. You pour in water, and get back fuel. The generator is for welding torches so don't get too excited..heh

You still have to produce an electric current to seperate the hydrogen.

You'd waste more energy than you create, for usage in a car anyway.
questionmark
The only practical application I see is to use it to convert excess energy from a windmill or similar where the output cannot be controlled. The main drawback I see is that first it generates a oxygen-hydrogen mixture...which is highly explosive if compressed and therefore store able only under mayor precautions. And if the equipment to power a simple blowtorch costs near $7000 I wonder how high the costs to power a Ford Festiva.

the eternal me
scam.
people looking for investors for a bunk technology.
if you have a couple of braincells working together and some idea of highschool science you should be able to build one of these for yourself.
trademarking H2O as HHO. duh.
come on. there are far more simpler ways of doing things with technology that already exsists.
using a converter to seperate H2O into its constituate components will use more energy then it would produce in usable force.
not going to fly.
