Water As A Fuel

Experiments, Research and Development directed at using water as a fuel.

There are so many interesting controversies related to using water as a fuel, that it is difficult to separate truth from fiction. I wish to research and experiment, documenting my journey, so that in the end I will know for myself if the hype is science or simply fantasy. The opportunity to discover that non-electrolysis based physics/chemistry may be occurring is exciting and drives my quest. Some propose cold-fusion, cross-dimensional energies, expanded water or Brown's Gas that release energies that exceed the electrical power used to power the experiments. I am a hopeful skeptic, trying to keep an open mind, but not to the point of foolishness. Many questions remain.

I am just getting started, please visit regularly and watch as I move forward. For now, check out my first video. I am in the early research phase, so I am reading all I can find and slowly gathering items for further experimentation. As I find interesting reading I will post it here along with videos chronicling any experiments that I find produce useful results.

If you find my work interesting, please help me move forward more quickly by sending a donation to help me buy supplies. Donations of parts or services is always welcomed. Thank you to all who visit and especially to all of those who contribute.

Latest conclusions
My research has lead me to believe that electrolysis based hydrogen production just isn't a valid source of energy to fuel our cars. The electrical energy needed to produce the hydrogen is better used to power an electric motor in either a pure electric car or a electric/gasoline hybrid. My experience with my Honda Insight hybrid has proven to me the advantages of this mix.

There is, however, a valid application for electrolysis based hydrogen producing reactors as an upgrade to current internal combustion engines, creating a gas/hydrogen hybrid vehicle. As gasoline only cars fade, this advantage will also fade, but there are likely many years left where such an add-on will be a valid option. See links below.

Please understand that I am not a scientist, nor a chemist, but that I am a software engineer and a tinkerer. My comments are based on my studies and my research and may or may not reflect reality, only my experiences. Please do not let anything I say detour you from any line of research which you feel may be valid. We all see reality only from the perspective of our experiences, so who is to say what is and is not possible where proof is not abundant and irrefutable? I say dream big and experiment often. Good luck and may GOD inspire your mind!

Next Steps
My next experiment requires a great deal of expensive equipment, so my journey is currently on pause, waiting for the day when I can afford the equipment, some kind benefactor loans or buys me the equipment or donations reach a level to allow me to progress. What is needed is a high speed camera and most importantly, a waveform generator that allows me to model complex waveforms. What I wish to do is work to find the perfect waveform to maximize hydrogen production. I theorize, and my research supports, that the bubbles created are the primary source for the loss in efficiency. They work as a barrier on the surface of the metal, so rapid growth and release of each bubble is critical for improved efficiency. Initially, I want to use simple DC voltage and monitor the bubble creation process. I then want to introduce various waveforms to see if I can match the growth pattern to the current supplied. I also theorize that a reverse voltage pulse may help to repel the bubble, allowing it to be released at the point where effective growth has deminished.

Here is my parts list, but like type equipment is fine.
High Speed Camera
Arbitrary Waveform Generator Purchase

I will also need a power supply and method to regulate either or both the current and/or the voltage based in the generated waveform. I'd love to have a high range power source so that I can also experiment with varying extreme levels of current and voltage to better understand the related power curves on production. A dual channel oscilloscope would also be very handy for checking the waveform and for monitoring the voltage and current levels on both sides of the reactor. I also want to research the affect of the voltage/current to heat generation to help avoid wasting energy by generating heat.

The equipment needed for my next level of experimentation is simply out of my reach at this time. If GOD has blessed you and a donation would be possible, please help me take my next step. I will record my progress and share if free of charge with the world. This is not a business venture, but a scientific adventure and the results could impact the world. Help if you can. Thanks.

Key facts (or interesting hypothesis)

Electrode Materials Matter
Using platinum electrodes, hydrogen gas will be seen to bubble up at the cathode (-), and oxygen will bubble at the anode (+). If, however, any other metal is utilized for the anode the oxygen will react with the anode instead of being released as a gas.
First law of electrolysis
In 1832 Michael Faraday reported that the quantity of elements separated by passing an electrical current through a molten or dissolved salt was proportional to the quantity of electric charge passed through the circuit. This became the basis of the first law of electrolysis
Second law of electrolysis
Faraday also discovered that the mass of the resulting separated elements was directly proportional to the atomic masses of the elements when an appropriate integral divisor was applied. This provided strong evidence that discrete particles of electricity existed as parts of the atoms of elements.
Electricity is a field of study, like Chemistry or Physics.
When you flip a light switch, you don't "Turn on the Electricity". Electricity is taught poorly with many miscommunications and misunderstandings.
Zeroth law of thermodynamics, stating that thermodynamic equilibrium is an equivalence relation.
If two thermodynamic systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third, they are also in thermal equilibrium with each other.
First law of thermodynamics, about the conservation of energy
The increase in the energy of a closed system is equal to the amount of energy added to the system by heating, minus the amount lost in the form of work done by the system on its surroundings.
Second law of thermodynamics, about entropy
The total entropy of any isolated thermodynamic system tends to increase over time, approaching a maximum value.
Third law of thermodynamics, about absolute zero temperature
As a system asymptotically approaches absolute zero of temperature all processes virtually cease and the entropy of the system asymptotically approaches a minimum value.
This law is more clearly stated as: "the entropy of a perfectly crystalline body at absolute zero temperature is zero."
