Well spotted I guess it didnt work.
Or the Elvis is still alive /Princess Di was killed by MI5 conspirators will say it was bought by the oil companies and destroyed.
And if the old bugger dies from a heartie or something he will have been killed to keep silent (killing does that)

1105749 2010-06-02 00:35:00 There have been many attempts over the years to get a internal combustion engine to run on water. You read about them in magazines or see them on TV but don't here anymore about them. I remember reading about one in the 70s in the Aussie Wheels magazine and never heard anymore about it.

1105750 2010-06-02 00:59:00 Heaps of noddies/nutcases have gone down the path of putting a charge in the water and collect and burn the hydrogen.
Only problem it takes more energy than is made in the conversion.
The alternator does not make power for free it just makes the engine work harder and use more fuel.
The 6 stroke engine will be burdened by a large water tank water is heavy and it will take more fuel to move it around defeating the purpose.
Good try though

You are thinking of mobile motors, what about stationery motors, no worries about how much water required....

1105752 2010-06-02 04:27:00 i have heard of a few 4x4's that have done that (or similar) conversion. they go through more water than fuel. big downside is room required for the water tank and weight of the water.
also it has to be fairly clean water ie not hard bore water.

otherwise standard water/methanol injection systems have been around for a long time and give some gain for far cheaper cost.
