I think a good way to run an engine would be to have some sort of synthetic
hydrocarbon fuel, and a converter that converts it to hydrogen on
demand...then with your stainless valve etc you can run your engine on
hydrogen.
I've looked a bit into those claims of running your car off water and they
seem to be someone's idea of a joke, or thinking they know what they are
talking about when they dont.
But the bottom line is making your engine burn with minimum pololution, and
creating an energy storage with minimum pollution...apparently there are
jobs at Shell going for highly skilled/trained people to come up with new
energy sorces.
If you look at the natural world you'll see just this...plants convert
sunlight to stored energy, and use it in harmony with animals... you eat
plants and breath oxygen...the whole earth WAS in balance...until man
discovered oil underground, which apparently may have actually had a
purpose.
Just some thoughts...I'm not a raving greeny, just like to keep things in
perspective.
