Is this Legit?

it's called a hydrogen fuel cell and the car companies have been trying to market a hydrogen compatible car for a while now. there is not much interest in the market.
basically like said earlier you split the molecule and use the hydrogen atom.
It's not cheap and there is like maybe 1 hydrogen filling station in the US, but if we are ever to see a drop in gas prices alternative fuels like these are what is going to get us there.

I think the point of this is that the system takes the Hydrogen out of the water and burns it as a fuel. Somehow it's supposed to pull the hydrogen out and feed it to your existing engine as a fuel to run your regular engine. If it were that easy you would surely see them on the market by now.

Doya think a government run by oil money is really ever gonna let you believe this will work? This will be buried, and what you will get to hear will make it sound impossible. We will be held by the collective short and curlies by people who care for very little else than making absolutly certain that our great grandchildren finance their great grandchildrens golf forays. Home of the free. Keep buying gas, thats all you'll get fed, and don't ask why the price goes through the roof every time an oilman takes office, you'll have homeland security up your ass faster than you can say "price gouging".

of course its not easy, if it were everyone would be doing it, and like stript88 said I firmly believe that the capitolists that run the nation are in bed with the oil companies. whisper a word of protest and your ass is in trouble.
Hell, lets up the ante. I'll reconfigure my car to run off the oil of sperm whales and use baby seal skins to line my interior. If the gov really wanted to take the strain off the oil industry so that when a single pump is put out of commission the price of gas rises 20 cents in 3 days, there would already be a stricter mandate out calling for more eco friendly vehicles and alternative sources of power.

the only oil money running the government is the 50 cents a gallon tax you pay every time you fill up. supply and demand set the price. if the price dropped to 1.50 tomorrow the refineries couldn't meet demand.

Why dont you buy it and try it and let us know if it works.

I have actually read the published paper as has my old prof - we thought that it was worthless.

cause I'm too legit. too legit to quit

The oil money doesn't run the government, it goes directly into the pockets of the ultra rich who are the government. So they can buy more elections to keep themselves in the position to legislate themselves, and their kids, richer. On your money and mine. What does our current "presidents" family do for a living? His pals? And when was the latest surprise and unrepresented spike in gas prices? We're supposed to be too stupid to figure any of this out- just irony, right? Come up with a realistic alternative fuel, and you'll be either labeled a crackpot, or a threat to security. You mean none of our nations smartest people can come up with anything that fits under the hood of a car/truck, that can move said vehicle, and not be fueled by petroleum? Sure. Business will never let it happen.

Hydrogen fuel cell technology is very legit, and will be common place in the somewhat near future. the main thing holding it back is red tape and the expensive cost, as with any new technology. I've learned a fair bit about this in some of my University classes lately, although it is not really in my field. One of my prof's is into it big time, and told us about a guy a few years back that actually invented a much cheaper way of making this technology work. He mysteriously died due to a poisoning shortly after going to the local news with his invention, and showing that it worked, and his idea was very affordable. conspiracy? maybe, maybe not, but it's food for thought. there are a lot of people that would not want this to happen right now.......

just did a quick search, here are some links to the story i'm refering to...
