A small startup has patented a way of extracting the hydrogen in water to supliment or replace gasoline in automobiles. The inventor was working on a way to replace the dangerous fuels in cutting torches and developed an electrolysis method of extracting the hydrogen in water. The video Pretty Cool! shows the process in action. The flame is not hot to the touch, but will cut right through metal, and burn a hole in solid metal quickly.

Now, he has patented his method, he has shown the government the idea and has also powered his automobile which uses very few OUNCES of water for an entire trip to Washington D.C. The goverment & military are looking into this, and the military is trying to use his process to develop a HumVee to run on water.

Apparently it is. But I doubt GEORGE would let this happen to his precious oil companies.

That sounds cool but I honestly doubt anything will ever come out of this.

Well, the US needs to remove its giant dependency on Oil. Generally when Oil runs out is when the US will fall.

Yeah but that's gonna take ages. Plus you can bet oil companies/bush ain't gonna be in a big rush.

I think we have somewhere between 20-100 years left before all of its gone? Regardless, it would take forever to change everything from oil based.

It can, and has to be done at some point. Maybe it'll take a disaster to make people realize that.

If they could make cars run on music, you could drive from New York-LA on a single Satriani song.
