View Full Version : Advice on the "Convert your Car to run on Water" conversion

All right, so I've read the .pdf of the same name (hosted here at Rorta) over and over again, and I think I've finally decided to go ahead and do it. My grandfather and I have determined that the host vehicle, a 1985 Ford Econoline F-350 truck is suitable for this modification/conversion.

My question is, has anyone else here attempted to convert their car/truck/vehicle to 'run on water'? I'm totally serious, I'm going to do this, and I'd like to hear what you all have to say about it. Does anyone have any experience with this? Are there any pertinent details that the text left out? Any tips/techniques/warnings I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance for reading this, and for your help.

EDIT: I wasn't sure if this was the right forum to post this in, but the plans vaguely mention electronics, so I thought it'd be safe. If it's incorrect, I apologize.

Honestly, I know no-one who has tried this. I hope someone can give you some advise, but make sure and document the process well and post about it. Let us know how it all went.

I'm going to move this thread to GB. Not because you've really posted it in the wrong place, but it will get more views.

I personally wouldnt do it. Ive read the file and all it looks like to me is that youre turning a car into a water heater. if you did it i think you'd have better success running your shower off of it than you would an automobile. but if you do t post results... I definately wouldnt do it to a vehicle that's still worthy of service though.

You can download the PDF from here. The file is also part of the RORTA.NET Sabotage and Subvert Info Pack Volume I (http://www.mininova.org/tor/381358)

yeah, its basically doing hydrolysis. taking water splitting it into oxygen and hydrogen...burning the hydrogen and expelling water. the same principal as hydrogen powered cars. the only real difference is, instead of putting water in your car the hydrolysis is already done so your just putting hydrogen in. but yeah i dont see why it wouldnt work.

Some additional torrents on the subject of hydrogen cars (including videos) that may be of help can be found here: http://www.demonoid.com/files/?uid=151193&seeded=2

(If you're unable to create a Demonoid account, you should still be able to download ~5 torrents per day without an account, and registrations open up every weekend or thereabouts).

Hope this helps!

The ex CIA who discovered Uri Geller. Supposed to have driven his mobile home across America on water. Probably killed by some agency for this or his psi research.

Wikipedia links to his patent for the water powered car which utilizes the frequency trick described in the rorta download. There's a link to a html version of the patent on the deleted references section.

It would not work because you cannot get more energy out than you put in. That is a fundamental law of nature. In order to split the water molecules, you need to put in energy, and that energy has to come from somewhere. What's more, it will require MORE energy to split the water molecules than you can usefully extract from the resulting hydrogen.

I would suggest that no-one waste his time with this kind of thing. But do let us know if you get it to work. You'll not only solve the world's energy problems, you'll also without any doubt get a Nobel prize in physics.

I saw this done in mythbusters... It worked as far as creating the hydrogen but it was not enough to even start the car.

I remember hearing that it actually takes more energy to separate the hydrogen and oxygen than you get back in the combustion process. Is this true? Seems to me it would be a lot simpler and efficient to just run the car off electricity.

With a solar panel on top, a very long electrical cord or a wind turbine just gotta push the car to get it going and if u stop at lights or stall etc.

Hydrogen fuel cells are the way forward I read somewhere. The technology just needs to mature a bit more so the prices come down.

Until then though there are hybrid cars such as Toyota's Prius (http://www.toyota.com/prius/).

To be honest, ya just can't beat a good ol' ozone destroying, carbon burning, petrol car. The bigger the engine the better.

I'm hoping to get a biodiesel ford ranger. But if I do I'll need a massive amount of spare biodiesel, as its extremely limited here. The barenaked ladies, blech, went on tour using only biodiesel, and they said they had to ride it out until they were almsot on empty, because there was only two stations in western canada that actually sold it.

I hgeard something like that happened in Canada. Someone made a car that could run more miles to the gallon then any other car and something bad happened to him.

I guess the question is, who do you trust more? Puharich, or the laws of thermodynamics. I know who my money is on.

It's kind of hard to make out, but this (http://spacemonkeypants.com/img/fonzi.jpg) is a signed picture of Thermodynamics himself.

Hell, he might even have a website somewhere.

But those who think they are smooth enough to take him for a ride are welcome to try to convert their cars to run on water. Let's see who's the smoothest.
