water as fuel was also tried out by an Indian guy down south. his way was to split water (with a 20,000volt amplified by series of batteries) into hydrogen and oxygen and this would get collected in two cylinders. the problem was SAFETY i.e. storage of hydrogen and the supply of it for combustion as its safety aspect was very critical.

btw hope this never works as otherwise there wont be any water left even to drink.

Woww, water powered cars that is really amazing to hear but in India there is still water shortage.

In my opinion water shortage in a tropical country like India is something that could be fixed. Whats with the river linking project?

All the auto crazy guys would be smiling during floods

There is plenty of water available if it is to be used as fuel -- e.g. sea water. It is very costly to convert sea water to drinking water, but may not be as costly to convert it into fuel-grade water. Certainly should not be as costly as petrol. Apart from safety issues, the project was probably killed by the high initial cost of splitting water into hydrogen+oxygen, using electrical power.

The article is interesting.

This reminded me an article on the movie/documentary called " Who killed the electric car". I haven't seen this documentary yet, but read the previews and blogs on that. It looks like, there is a strong lobby of oil/automotive industries etc. who don't want such technologies to fly high.

See the below links on this.

Off-topic... I think it is an artificial scarcity perpetuated by the tanker owners.
