It would be a Winning Combination for Consumers and the Nation

For decades, people have been hearing about someone who had invented a pill or device that could turn water into gasoline. Supposedly he had been successful and the oil companies bought him out to keep him from revealing the secret to doing the miracle transformation. But it won't be a miracle that will allow water to be turned into fuel. It will be science and technology that will do the trick.

We know that if water is hot enough, the hydrogen will separate from the oxygen to form fuel and an oxidizer. in order to do that, I would use what I call plasma igniters. They would produce a plasma that is hot enough to burn water like gasoline. In some arson fires, the flames are hot enough that when the firemen try to extinguish them, the water bursts into flames. I saw this happen on a news program. The same principle would apply to plasma igniters. The engine would have either a larger generator or alternator or maybe more than one to generate the increased current which would go to the igniters. Electromagnetic restrictors would prevent the plasma from coming in contact with solid material or else the engine could be melted. The plasma could be ionized oxygen that may be over 3000 degrees. So some of the air entering the air injection system would be ionized by the igniters.

I would use twin superchargers to provide extra air for the air/fuel injectors and air that would be ionized to form a plasma. To prevent the pistons from melting in case the electromagnetic restrictors aren't sufficient to protect the engine, I would use either solid carbon piston heads or graphite ones that would be bonded to the surface of the pistons. They would withstand higher heat in the engine.

If the engine increases its horsepower, I would consider converting the car to a hybrid with the engine being used to run a generator for the drive motor or motors, the plasma igniters, and a stacked flywheel kinetic energy storage system. The flywheel storage system would be sealed to prevent air from entering the vacuum containers. Either a liquid coolant system or forced air system would be used to cool the armatures of the motor/generators that would be sandwiched between the flywheel containers. If the flywheels can store 100 watt-hours of energy per cubic inch and the storage capacity is 500,000 watt-hous, the range on just electricity may exceed 300 miles. By combining the fuel and flywheel range, provided the tank can hold 20 gallons and the mileage is 30 miles per gallon, the range could be 900 miles.

The fuel tank would have to be insulated to prevent the water from turning to ice during the winter. If that's not possible, the flywheels might have enough storage capacity to allow them to cause the motor/generators sandwiched between the flywheel containers to generate electricity for a heating jacket around the fuel tank. That means the car should start nearly as easily during the winter as it does during the summer.

Since the exhaust would be water, there would be no need for pollution controls. The muffler might be used mainly to lower the noise produced. Electronic sound canceling might be used. With the engine being so clean, it should require less servicing and last much longer.

With water as the fuel, even if the engine only achieved a fuel economy of 20 miles per gallon, paying the water bill would be cheaper than paying a gas bill. Plasma burners might even be used in furnaces to allow them to use water as fuel to replace expensive natural gas and fuel oil. But if plasma igniters work in cars and they can use water as fuel, our dependence on foreign oil could end within a few years and the economy would grow. It would be a winning situation for consumers and the nation.
