Can we use water as a fuel?

[rohit147]

Now a days Conventional Fuel creating a major problem about Globalwarming.the crud index daily showing the price growth.World wide the imporant Hot cake subject is "ALTERNATIVE FUEL".The universal element is Water.The water conatain Hydrogen & Oxygen.Hydrogen & Oxygen is Fuel substance.Can we use water as a Renewable Fuel

Some nerd out there would probably be able to make that...

Just give him, 10 years or so?

[neol]

Yeah.. someone might just pull that one..

u know... thats how the booster rocket that boosts the space shuttles into space works... putting oxygen and hydrogen together releases a tremendous amount of energy.

water's kindda useless by itself as a fuel, but i know there r research going on that tries to extract H2 from the water molecules and use it as the fuel, while letting out Oxygen as exhaust. but rite now separating the molecule takes more energy than the H2 can produce

they already have this : fuel cell

it makes energy and water

there is only one problem though, it doesnt create that much energy so the top speed isnt quite that fast, so they're still tweaking it

the technology already exists though

i think he's talking about using pure water as fuel, thus eliminating the need for fossil fuels altogether

[Kwan-Yi]

hmm water??

thats a long way to go...

it hardly gives you any energy even just drinking it...

i dont know how it's going to power a car...

[badass-es]

fuel cell doesn't need fossil fuel... it just needs hydrogen and oxygen (oxygen just come from the air)

but i guess i misread the question because fuel cell makes water it doesn't use water lol
