A few paces in the Insight hybrid
The Insight according to AutoWeek editorsI'm not the biggest fan of AutoWeek when it comes to unbiased reviews of hybrid cars. Nonetheless, I still like to read their their take on hybrids.
Today, AW has posted their 'Driver's Log' on the Honda Insight hybrid. It's a mix of good and bad. For anyone considering an Insight purchase, however, it's a worthy read.

have you every heard of this:

i've read a number of stories about these water cars over the years. i'm not sure this is one of them, but i'll check it out.
yeah. i've seen this before but had completely forgotten about it. i might have even made a post on this a while back.
this is one of the more interesting takes on the water-fueled car idea. still has issues, but suggests a very compelling direction for further research.
i really wonder whether this guy was the first to realize this burning water, or just the first to go public with it.
there are other ideas out there that are very similar, but they don't burn the water in this way. instead, they use much higher temperatures - some kind of arcing technology - that seems to build off this principle to develop a desal/hydrogen production system.
you know how much of a skeptic I am on some of this stuff but the closest thing to alchemy is the use of a catalyst in chemical reactions.
A good example is Catalytic Converters.
the first thing that comes to mind is that if a substance like salt can "loosen" the H2O bonds.. did we, by dumb luck happen to pick the BEST material to loosen those bonds or are their other chemicals out there that are even better... to the point that the amount of energy required to generate the radio waves drops considerably?
...could solar ...be converted to radio waves to "crack" H2 out of water with an added catalyst on a one for one basis?
.. in other words, could we get one unit of hydrogen fuel from one unit of solar?
i'm with you on the skepticism, larry. it is critical as long as it is open-minded skepticism.
your suggestions, however, are barking up a tree of research that is now taking place all over the world in various forms.
likewise, don't most major scientific breakthroughs come from such 'accidental' discoveries?
yes. this is how it happens and sharp-eye, sharp-minded people notice something overlooked by many others.
I think this is how it is going to happen - and when it does, it will be an overnight game changer.
