Water Engine Fallacy
Some Historical Claims Multiple "inventors" worldwide have claimed the invenction of engines which run on water alone. 1970 patent Even nowadays some companys claim they can do it . These are some of the claims: With the water engine you don't need batteries. You don't need to carry hydrogen cells. All you need is water. Vested interests of large fosil fuel multinationals are making sure water engine doesn't succeed. An engine that runs just on water Obtain Hydrogen from Water Using electrolysis you can break the water molecule H₂O into hydrogen and oxygen. Obviously, apart from water you also need an electrical current which has to be supplied by a batttery. Electrolysis Energy Requirements To obtain 1 kilogram of hydrogen from water through electrolysis, it typically requires around 50 to 55 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electric energy. Here's a breakdown of the calculation: Energy Required for Electrolysis : The electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen in
