Autoblog Night Watch: Water powered jet car
We really don't know where to begin with this one. We thought we'd seen every conceivable form of motivation, then this comes along and it seems to defy description. The video is courtesy of Streetfire.net, who contends that beneath all that pimperific body work, lives a water-propelled, jet-powered Peugeot 206. Our minds are reeling in an attempt to understand the technical hurdles of such a vehicle. Check the video, then speculate in 'comments'.

hi,there
i hope this site may be help many people.....Has anyone tried another water for gas kit?
i think many people don't have to try something to understand that it works.
I've seen facts on the news and all over the Internet, that running a car on water IS
possible. Even that I haven't
tried doing it, it doesn't mean that it's impossible.
this is not spam but i want many people to see other choice.Has anyone tried the kit? like
water4gas,runyourcaronwater etc.
Is it really a scam? if you don't satisfy you can asked for refund..no more pain
You can truly get better mileage....http://carwaterguide.blogspot.com

Not that hard. Water, air pressure, hose, viola. Biggest problem would be all that air pressure and containing it.
See this video for a full explanation:

it probably has sealed boiler, heating the water to above 100C (but the increased pressure wont let it boil), and when the valve is opened, the super-heated water instantly boils (flash boils) to release a lot of energy at once.

Either pressurized or it could be high concentration H202 or hydrogen peroxide reacting with silver or some other metal and essentially boiling on contact.

...sending gallons of boiling water into the faces of spectators and our camera operator? I doubt it.

I can remember as kids filling a plastic drink bottle half full of water and pumping air into it to about 160psi and watching it fly. That litre of water would shoot the bottle about 200m into the air. Guessing it is something like that.
It was good fun!!

"...to understand the technical hurdles of such a vehicle."
Well, the technical details were easily understood 70 years ago;

Judging by spectators it looks like a public track, there goes the track prep for conventionally propelled vehicles. Slip & Slide here we come...
That little bugger took off in a hurry though didn't it?
