I think the one above didn't work. Try this, it includes a wiring schematic. crrrock |

I have been reading into this stuff for the last week, and have some plans to build one from runyourcaronwater.com
Though it looks like a lot of work and testing to get it all right and Im just going to buy one from ebay around 250-350 AU from the u.s. This is complete kit with all electronics so I think its a good price. Petrol today was $1.71 a ltr, and its only going to get worse as oil companies love extra cash. Ill let you all know how it goes when I get it. I have no doubts about croccs savings. |

Hasn't been much discussion here about Australia having no water !!!
Would we really be that stupid to use drinking water in our cars and then end up bone dry? Using sea water would be better, if the car didn't rust-away after 5 kms ;)

Good point. From a post i made earlier: A Japanese company has designed a car that runs on any sort of water, including salt water. Something 90% of the population of Australia is quite close to. |

Like Mythbuster who haven't found one that works as claimed, I remain totally skeptical but like everyone else I dream of someone finding an efficient (i.e. it doesn't consume more energy than it produces) and effective way of getting fuel from water so I do wish all those trying luck.

I see there is some healthy skepticism about the Genepax claims too:

why shouldnt we be skeptical. more than half the time wild new inventions use mythical science in order to work. Genepax has yet to proove the technology does what they say at the moment so its really not too different from all the people that have perpetual motion machines hidden in their basement... but cant show us because its top secret.
Its in the news now because its fuel related, but we've been down similar roads many times. As for the water torch isnt that a totally different concept to whatever he would have done to the car. what did he do to the car then?

Just this arvo I came across the fuel log I was keeping on my runs to Victoria.
Prior to this, we were getting 4.7km/ltr. Cootamundra. Top up @ 437846k. (start of test run) Bendigo. fill up @438367k. 77.54ltr@154.9/ltr. $120.12 next run: Cootamundra. 438749k. (top up, start 2nd test run) Kangaroo Flat. fill up@439288k. 70.58ltr@159.9/ltr. $112.85 Kangaroo Flat is a few k's (17) south of bendigo. Note the 7 odd litres less (at 17 more k's) and a saving of $7.27, even though fuel had gone up by 5c/ltr. 2 runs over the same route, same load (empty) pretty well the same weather pattern. A "real life" on road test, not laps around some circuit under ideal conditions. crrrock |

This vid shits me, he is using ELECTRICITY to turn water into hydrogen and oxygen..no magic here, the system uses more electricity than the energy you get from burning the hydrogen.

Mr crock, when you have this system ready to go would you consider say giving me everything i need to build this eco system. (this to confirm your findings by external party)
I will buy a cheap car, and by your pocket you can build this system for that car. Then i will make some econnomy runs and verify my findings to the forum. Id say this would be the only way you could prove your findings to the skeptical people. ....and dont mention you have allready done this with mates or someone elses car or what not. Im ready to test this for you.
