Water Power

[drennan]

Can a diesel engine run on water due to its low combustion ratio?

 

Also, I was watching a Steven Segal film in which he was helping a native American girl to save the world from pollution and self destruction. I cannot remember the title however it had John C McGinley in it. Anyway, the point is at the end he made a speech about how there was already a combustion engine available that can run on water. Is this true?

 

Thanks for your help lads and ladettes

when you say "Water" do you mean the 2 parts Hydrogen and 1 part Oxygen or the combined product H2O?

 

H2O is not at all flammable (I think you already know that though).

You are probably talking about Hydrogen Fuel Cells which run on (big surprise) hydrogen which reacts with oxygen and leaves water as an exhaust gas.

You certainly picked the wrong subforum for such a question. It´s rather engineering or perhaps chemistry but certainly not modern theoretical physics where your thread fits in.

well spotted that man, thread moved

On Deadly Ground. Directed, starring, produced and ruined by Steven Segal. Not a great film to pick up information from.

Not possible with straight water. Although, I have see diesel cars run on vegetable oil with a few modifications.

^ i believe thats Bio-Diesel.

 

My uncle uses that in his diesel jetta

Must... not.... flame.......

 

Water does not combust.

 

Whewh. That was close.

Of course it does you just need to add a little sprinkle of fairy dust. And connect it to your standard improbability drive and voila!

If you changed the diesel engine to a steam engine...

well if you believe this guy from another forum called zarkov then water is actually more unstable than hydrogen peroxide and will spontaineously decompose into hydrogen and oxygen. this guy also claims to have aspaceship 3 times the size of earth and is a resident of a mental institution.
