I first saw BMW do something like this in the older 7series, power remained the same also.

You think billion dollar oil companies and governments are going to allow such a thing like this to destroy the economy?

But think of this, you only need to put regular tap water in your vehicle.
This has been the case for many years. The element into which you pour the water is called a radiator.

Why is it that so many people think that violating the laws of thermodynamics is a slam-dunk?

The energy consumed to break H2O into HHO is quite significant. How much energy does it take to break down 1 gallon of water to yield x amount of energy? What's the effiency compared to dino juice?

We've got hydrogen fuel cell buses in London:

I hope some one sorts out this technology - or in 20 years time we will all be walking.

(apart from the USA which is cleverly burning everyone elses oil before their own).

Haven't you seen Mad Max ?????
