According to the inventors, the kit works by breaking water, a molecule
consisting of two hydrogen and one oxygen atoms, into its parts, namely hydrogen
and oxygen. When you combine thus obtained hydrogen back with oxygen to make
water, energy is released which is used to run the car. Sounds simple. But the
trouble is that you need to provide energy to break up the water molecule in the
first place. Further, as stated above, according to the law of conservation of
energy you need to provide exactly the same amount of energy to break up the
water molecule as you would get when recombining hydrogen with oxygen.
This is not just a conclusion based on theory but a routinely tested fact of
chemistry. So whatever energy you get out of this device, has to come from
somewhere in the first place, and not from water itself. Water is not the fuel
or source of energy.
The inventors claim that the water molecule is broken down using the electrical
current from the battery. This process is well known and is called electrolysis.
A battery has some fixed stored amount of energy which it can release as
electrical power through a current. So by breaking the water molecule and then
combining it back, you are just channeling this battery power to the car. When
this source battery will die out, the car will stop working. As a matter of fact
you will be better off connecting the battery directly to car’s motors as each
additional step that you introduce wastes quite a bit of energy.
The two processes involved, electrolysis of water and recombination, in this
supposed generation of energy from water are well known in chemistry and can be
found in class X chemistry book. So you may wonder why no one thought of using
these for power generation. The reason is simple. They knew it is impossible.
There is really no way around it. It is based on the basic fact of conservation
of energy and the fact of chemistry that energy is required to split a water
molecule into hydrogen and oxygen. Then how do the hydrocarbon fuels work? The
difference is that the chemical reaction involved in burning those release
energy which is used to run the cars. When we run out of this fuel we replace
with more supplies of the fuel that are available in nature. In other words the
nature has stored supply of energy in hydrocarbons which we use. In the case of
this car, it is the burning of hydrogen with oxygen which releases the energy.
So the counter part of the fuel in this case is really free hydrogen and not
water. We do not have a source of free hydrogen available here. In the case of
hydrocarbons, we do not regenerate the by-products of hydrocarbon burning into
the original fuel again. It is quite possible to do so.
For example, one can make methane out of the final products of its burning i.e.,
water and carbon dioxide. Ever wonder why we don’t do this? Because it will cost
more energy to do this than we will get back when burning again. If we could
really do that without providing external power, it would constitute perpetual
motion. These people are doing exactly this with water and hydrogen,
regenerating the fuel, from by-product, which is water in this case, without any
external source of energy.
