Jacks Hydrogen car
Apparently Jack Nicholson commissioned a hydrogen powered car as early as 1978.

This guy is planning to start selling his car technology all over the world. In fact it appears he may already do that or else others have bet him to it. In fact there are several companies selling the conversion kits online. Here’s one
However the marketing leaves a little to be desired so probably puts most people off trying. Anyway it is all moot now but this post is too make sure we cover all the bases and give people credit where it’s due. The hydrogen powered blow torch is pretty cool though and makes good TV…
The late Stanley Meyer is a cult hero. He championed the idea of a water powered car in the US in the 80′s and early 90′s. He faced a court battle from his business partners where he eventually went on record as saying he didn’t have the technology he claimed he did and had to pay them back the $25,000 they had invested in him. He died under suspicious circumstances that led many to believe he had been taken out by any one of the powerful organizations with vested interests in stopping water from becoming a fuel resource.
Interestingly, in the past two years his patents became available for public consumption and now we suddenly see the explosion of people all over the world picking up from where he left but with the exception that this time it is being done in open forums with no patents and no secrets. How do you stop a flood when the dams already been breached?
Maybe it is time that Meyer is recognized for the truly gifted inventor that it now appears he really was.
Here’s a couple of vids that explain a little about the man.
There is more than one way to run a car on water. You can use electrolysis to split the hydrogen and pipe the gas into the combustion chamber. Several different people and companies have been pursuing this concept for a while.
Daniel Dingle has been talking about his car that runs on water since 1969. He even has a foundation that represents him. However due to the power of government red tape and greedy conglomerates he has never really been able to fully capitalize on his invention. Of course, he would love to have been a multi billionaire by now and employing thousands of his fellow Pinoys in an industry that could enrich the lives of all Filipinos and drastically reduce their dependence on fossil fuels. However IMF has very strict rules about what industries countries it bails out can compete in and energy is pretty much at the top of the list. The Filipino Govt are bound by the rules they signed onto after the 1997 crash and the economic ruins left by the Marcos rule. It doesn’t matter that the people are suffering with most living on less than 1 US dollar/day and that the Philippines is entirely dependent on foreign imports for oil and gas.
Anyway here’s his concept which is taking off now with a couple of replicas in Japan and the US. lets hope the foundation can represent him so he is not completely left out of the profits that these companies are going to make.
His solution uses electrolysis to separate the hydrogen from the oxygen and then does one of two things. Either mixes it with fuel to greatly increase the range of a normal tank of gas or possibly burns it unmixed. The latter principal is unproven but Dingle adamantly stands by his claim.
