The inventors name is Daniel D. Dingel. He is Filipino, from the Filippines. And the reason it hasn't taken off in the markets is because his own Government, as well as other Governments and large corporations refuse to fund him and give him a piece of ownership. Not to mention, they'd prefer to continue to rely on oil instead. Below is an article from Wiki and it's obvious that the article that can be written by the public seems to be under scrutiny also (more than likely Governmental debunkers). There are also two grainy and not very well put together videos below. I suspect grainy for obvious reasons.

He first started working on these inventions in 1969 and says he drove his first water powered car 30 years ago. I've heard of this before, but I never looked it up, not until now. This would solve a good chunk of everything about our planet being polluted, when it comes to cars. Mr. Dingel could give it up, as a gift to society or he can keep his secrets all the way to his grave.

The other problem though is 'it directly affects everything that has to do with oil'. The establishment of what the Iraq war is all about. The entire oil industry would be wiped out for one and the millions of millions jobs that rely on it will be lost also. Not to mention, the multi billion dollar tycoons would suddenly find them selves out of the rich mans club also.

So how to solve this? Hire Mr. Dinkel and give him his share. Or fund him and make him the CEO of a new company. Slowly, gradually transfer all systems over to the new models and into society, without shocking the system. Giving many a chance to move onto something else. Or who knows, maybe sea water (that's what it runs on) stations can be produced and maintain by those same jobs.

Only question is 'what does it mean to split the water atom'? And 'is there any run off onto our streets, that could affect our ground environment'? And other questions like 'How fast and how far can you go with this new invention'? Etc., etc., etc.

When you add water to the special alloys it activates a reacton.

To produce the metal is very expesive and takes more energy than it puts out.

This has been around a while.

i read this to my class about two years ago. it is more expensive than other sources so it won't be in the main market anytime soon. it is more realistic for your car to run on cooking oil/grease than water, which is something else we read about.

When the first VCR's came out years ago, the prices on those things were up to $800.00. Once something makes it to the market and gets massed produced, the price always drops.

This guy should get together with all the other legits and find corporations who would fund them to get it rolling and screw what the Government and others say.

Did you guys know that Glacier National Park is nearly gone. Yup' all melted away. It melted 10 years sooner then scientist originally thought. That's scary excelleration. It looks horrible. All a result of global warming. We need alternatives and we need them NOW!

There's a limit to what mass production can do to the price. If the technology takes more energy to produce that it generates, then thats not something which mass production is going to fix. The dream of running a car on water is based on the notion that water is cheap and freely available. This particular invention doesn't fulfill that dream. Same with corn and hydrogen. Yes they are better than hydrocarbons in terms of pollution when they are used in a vehicle, but the energy used to make ethanol or hydrogen still comes from Oil, it still uses more energy than it produces, so it is therefore not really a greener alternative yet. It isn't carbon neutral.

I can't figure out what this means? We're talking about a car that can produce' energy to thrust a car, by using sea water. Mass production has always' lowered the price with the commercial buying public. Especially with machinery and electronics.
