For welding, where a concentration of energy is required, this would be perfect.

What he has done is make allotropic water (cue mad scientist laugh).

The article makes no mention about the amount of electricity required to 'crack' the water in the first place, nor how long it takes.

Always a sceptic.

However, if it really is more stable than H2 (and easier to store and use), it could really be what the article says. Hook it up to hydro / geothermal to drive the cracking process.... it could be cool.

** I still vote ethanol

No actually he wont get rich in about a month or so im sure some oil company hired thug will arrange for him to go on a looooooong holiday.

i heard something was done like this years ago...

the guy got murdered and his factory burnt down..

There are plans for similar systems to this all over the net to run a car on water... the technology is available and the process is rock-solid and any car can be run on it. (yes turbo too) The two main problems, (other than OPEC hunting you down and killing you and everyone you ever met) Are that burning hydrogen + oxygen turns it back into water... which makes conventional engines and exhausts rust. (hence most of these systems run 15% petrol to avoid the problem) The other issue is nobody is actually manufacturing a "kit" as such to convert your car to H2 power. Anyone that has done it has done so completely at their own expense. (a relatively expensive capital outlay, although being able to run you car for FREE forEVER I think it would pay for itself)

Free energy is one of my passions by the way... :wave: I've been waiting for someone to kick off a thread like this...

A mate and I have a project suzuki swift running on 85% ethanol 15% pump unleaded... or 95% with avgas (shhhh don't tell anyone) And our next crazy scheme is a all-alloy rover V8 running a water fuelled hydrogen-on-demand system.

Hydrogen is the future... think about it... free fuel. FREE. Can you imagine whats going to happen when Big Oil and governments can no longer keep these new technologies suppressed? for one, my constant anguish over being an environmentalist and a car enthusiast will be allieviated.... :wub:

<end rant>

I can talk for days about this if anyones genuinely interested...

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
