Meyers has been cracked (100% sure)

Water or steam will destroy engine oil - nothing more. Not only thin layer of oil on the surfaces will be nullified - some steam and finally water goes down wheres oil, consequences crankshaft-mixed butter-like potage instead of high quality engine oil and The End comes fast.  And not only when Meyers system - by my opinion - it will happend even when just hydrogen used as fuel. What is product of burning of hydrogen? - Water!  Of course this problem will be solved with new type of oils and new materials for engine, special sealings etg  ... but anyway interesting to see - ho long it takes when experimental rebuilt engine is totally out of order.
This problem was actual when 70-th fuel crisis - lots tried to squirt, using different method, water in to cylinders for saving gasoline - results was invariably the same - huge costs for repair of engine.

Howdy Y'all,

There are lots iron parts in engines that are susceptible to rust.  Using water as fuel will exponentiate the rust development on iron parts.  All the iron parts need to be replaced with stainless steel parts.  HHO is a good idea, you need to prepare your engine for the use of HHO.

I read somewhere that there are experimental engines made of ceramics, that maybe the way forward burning hydrogen.

Did any one watch Coast on BBC 2, I watched it just the other day, up in the Orkney's they are actually running cars on Hydrogen from converted tap water, they use the almost constant wind up there to generate the electric, to convert  the water to Hydrogen/Oxygen.

It has a top speed of 45 miles per hour, but it would be great for a local run around, take a look at the link below.

As the test we did will show, i am a merely a half educated peasant, but even i can see that Hydrogen from water does work.

We did some tests of producing hydrogen from tap water, i firstly tried with a variable voltage battery, charger with 12 volts, then with 24 volts, i may be telling you what you know all ready, but ile post my info anyway, just in case some one has not yet had a pop at it.

What we found was, the Higher the voltage, the quicker the water converted.

The hotter the water the faster it converted. - An engine once running creates the heat to aid conversion

The bigger surface area of the electrodes the faster the conversion, - We started off using 6 inch stainless nails, and then used 7inch by 4 inch rather thin Stainless steel plates,

Water converts quicker when mixed with sulfuric acid, although we never tried that, i got that idea from an Auto electrics book, i was reading. The car battery as it charges actually produces Hydrogen and is vented in to the engine compartment, although sealed for life batteries are now coming on stream.

When mixing water and Sulfuric Acid together, i seem remember that you have to add a small amount of Acid to the water, and NOT add water to the Acid.

For acceleration, we were thinking a reostat? but we know very little of what power scale they work on, would any one here know about Reostats??? if i am correct they are used to very Voltage or current, is that correct?

And  finally all three things are already part of the car, Acid, heat, and electric.

Sorry if this is too basic for you guys, but it may help some one who's as dim as me.

khabe, do you not think that any water produced be the combustion of the Hydrogen would not just get pushed out of the cylinder with the waist exhaust gas's?
