Does anyone know the energy requirements? There are videos around of cars running on water,
The gas is called oxyhydrogen, a bit more info that adds to the case that this might be possible. I'd really like some of our resident chemists to settle this either way. I can't really go on a gut feeling.
The output is pretty huge according to NASA Glenn Research Center Glenn Safety Manual which states "The quantity of heat evolved, according to Julius Thomsen, is 34,116 calories for each gram of hydrogen burned. This heat-disturbance is quite independent of the mode in which the process is conducted; but the temperature of the flame is dependent on the circumstances under which the process takes place. It obviously attains its maximum in the case of the firing of pure "oxyhydrogen" gas (a mixture of hydrogen with exactly half its volume of oxygen, the quantity it combines with in becoming water, German Knall-gas). It becomes less when the "oxyhydrogen" is mixed with excess of one or the other of the two reacting gases, or an inert gas such as nitrogen, because in any such case the same amount of heat spreads over a larger quantity of matter."
