I wonder if solar power can be used to split the Hydrogen from water in unison with the cars electric system?

i have 2 questions
how much energy required to split h and o from h2o?
what percentage of the planet has access to clean water
theory not always practicable(energy from salt water would be the way)
just my perspective on this issue

This wont kick off, governments make no money out of it, no reasons for war. surprised he ain't been assassinated and the invention covered up. or they could tax us to the balls for water haha like they don't already

You don't think they could make a tire that lasts 200,000 miles? Of course they could... But then Michelin wouldn't be selling as many tires, so they tell the scientists involved in the tire's design "Make us a tire that is good... but not too good".

I know this post i quoted was made earlier in this thread, but it made me remember something. There is an old wheel and tire from a military vehicle sitting on a concrete foundation down back on our farm. The tire clearly says it was made in 1947. (not sure why they put the date on tires back then) Yet, the tire shows no signs of weather cracking at all, it's still holding air, and the camo paint on the wheel has no chips or sun fading. Just goes to show that if they want to, they can make something last forever. Too bad the ones that are making the big bucks don't realize that they are only fueling thier own problem. The higher the price of stuff, the more money they feel they need.

This is NOT sustainable energy! I love this idea, but you have to realize that the MASSIVE amounts of electricity that it takes to create brown gas, or HHO, is generated primarily by fossil fuel consuming power plants.
Now, if we were to use sustainable means of generating electricity, like something similar to a solar reflector/sterling engine: www.youtube.com

Wikipedia does agree with you. What a let down, maybe there are more efficient ways to produce this gas. It seems like brilliant stuff.
The energy required to generate the oxyhydrogen always exceeds the energy released by combusting it
