water powered cars now a reality

[Fat Bastard]

do a search on fuel cells several companies working on this type of tech. All supported by big car companies among other backers.

no. If you extract hydrogen from it you have oxygen left over as exhaust. Any hydrogen left over might recombine to make more water but eventualy the hydrogen atoms will loose to much energy and not be usefull anymore.

hmmmm if this were true I suppose there would not be much "useful" hydrogen left on Earth after being combined and detached from oxygen for billions of years...... remember this is a chemical reaction and therefore the energy potential in the atoms themselves are not fundamentally changed.

But it is a free country; believe whatever you want..............

They teach that in 9th grade science.

Plants need water because the hydrogen atoms they gain energy from eventually no longer give out enough energy as the atom is taken apart then put back together.
Everytime the atom is put back together the electron goes further out in orbit from the core. Eventually you can no longer gain enough energy from it to be useful and must be put into the garbage.

Since energy must remain a constant the plant keeps the energy and somehow the energy must be put back to the atom or moved around to something else over time.
