what happens if next year WATER will be the fuel of every car instead of GAS?

Well scientists have already found a way to use sea water as a source of fuel for cars. They are using sea water as a source of hydrogen and hydrogen driven cars are already launched in the market. So its very good.

First of all ,Water isn't combustible which means the only way to create the power for propulsion is to create steam .So now you need to use coal or wood to heat the water.That's how trains worked.This isn't very practicle for an automobile .There isn't any way to produce enough power unless you want to travel about 10 miles per hour.Hydrogen gas seems way to dangerous to me.The best solution would probably be a combination methanol and electric. What we need to figure out is how to grow a sufficient amount of corn for the methanol.

The main problem will be with Oil companies and countries depending on production of oils. Ofcourse there will be financial instability and the whole picture of finance will be changed. Finally the Arab countries will come to streets..

It will be nice for us who belong in the Third-world countries because we do suffer from the price of gas nowadays. But oil producing countries and petroleum countries will be totally against this discovery, the life of the one who discovered the experiment would certainly be in great danger because these oil-producing countries would do anything to prevent this form happening. I personally will patronize that idea because life will be more cheaper here in my own country especially we are rich in water so there will be no problem with regards to the resouce. The only thing the government needs to worry about is how to maintain and protect this water resource that we have.

if the water is used as fuel,i think the first thing to do is desalination of the sea. but if people can use water as fuel,desalination is not a question in science. when water become the main feul of cars,the price of gas and petrolem will be down and down.and the biggest impact will be brought to mid-east countries. but the problem ,whether now and future ,is how to protect the recouce !

Steam power is actually a very poor source of energy in comparison to oil. That is why it lost out to petroleum in the early days of car manufacture. But hydrogen is approximately equal to oil in terms of energy produced and is much safer than you think. It has the added advantage that it can be obtained from water by electrolysis and the product of burning it is... water! It is the nearest we will ever get to a completely renewable energy source. Until recently, the big problem with hydrogen has been that its production from water requires large amounts of electricity - which is supplied by power plants running on (guess what) fossil fuels. But a breakthrough was made recently at Perdue University where they discovered that adding an aluminum alloy to water produces hydrogen gas - they are setting up a company to start production and we can hope that development of the idea will lead to all our cars running on hydrogen in the future. The discovery also has the advantage that, since the hydrogen can be produced as and when required, no large holding tank is required and so the danger of an explosion is virtually non-existent. Bio-fuels are a very poor option. They require enormous amounts of land to be turned over to bio-fuel plant production and, since this land can no longer be used for food production, food prices go up. This has already happened in Mexico, where the cost of corn has risen above the level that the poor can afford because so much corn is being bought by the States for bio-fuel production. If there is an answer to the problem, hydrogen is it.

Even though this could happen and might happen, it does not mean that it will, at least not in a year.

of course it is a very big advantage especially on countries that is not rich on fuel. In the Philippines Eng. Daniel Dengel invented a water fueled engine but not sure where he is now he could have save Philippine's economy

well yeah that would be good since water is virtually limtiless and could be found anywhere.But the OPEC nations will object since they will loose a big share of the world's wealth through oil.And i dont think water will raise prices since water, unlike oil is available anywhere and could be taken from any source but our technology is nit that advanced to extract hydrogen molecules from water efficently in autmobile engines but i hope they will

With prices of petroleum products going up by leaps and bounds, water as fuel is a welcome development, although to make it a reality is just wishful thinking. Of course, it is possible, but it will make oil-producing countries go bankcrupt, if that's the case. I remember there was an attempt to invent cars fueled by water, but I'm not sure what happened to it; what I'm sure is that it did not succeed. But with man's ingenuity, it's very possible, although I doubt it if those who are producing oil will take it sitting down. For economic reasons, they will block all forms of threat to their 'business', and will frustrate every attempts at discovering better alternatives to fuel. How I wish this would one day happen...

It will be very ideal but the thing is, since oil companies makes billions of dollars with petroleums and gasolines, they will not give up the fight to withdraw the idea of having water or other abundant element as a replacement for their product. Since these companies are influential to the government they will make way to discourage people to support this idea.

That would be pretty darn cool for a while and yes there would be a lot of flak from those who profit so much from the fuel. It would be no time though before the price of water was jacked up and yes..they would all be scrounging to lay claim on all water sources. It would be another reason for them all to fight i would imagine.

I hope someday we use water as fuel, since i am scare seeing our planet are dominated by water. So if we are not optimizing it to use it other than drilling oil, catch fishes, then our water will go without use.

If water will replace gas as fuel, then these oil companies may already have the means or technology how to use it. but first they will suppress this knowledge or technology from the public and suck first their oil reserves dry. When no more oil, then they will introduce water as a fuel source. Having the technology, they will become not the oil companies anymore but the water fuel companies. I agree that water is everywhere but then again I really guess that the technology to use it as fuel may cost a lot. And another thing is, if water will be fuel then this resource may also deplete very very rapidly. I guess what's more advantageous is to develop solar technology, or other energy producing technology.

I think the price of water will be rapidly increase!

That would indeed be great especially for the environment. Imagine the reduction in emissions from cars. Let's hope the technology will be available soon. But then you also have to think about the availability of water. Right now we have to pay for clean drinking water. If water becomes fuel, its price would skyrocket. Some parts of the world have a scarcity of water. Those countries would have a hard time coping. We need to explore all possibilities. Right now I'm very interested in the hybrid cars, those that run on a combination of gasoline and electric batteries. It's a major step in the right direction. From there we can go to hydrogen fuel cells. As consumers our role is to patronize these "environment-friendly" products so that the producers would be encouraged to continuously come up with environment-friendly technology. Let's forget about sports cars and gas-guzzling SUVs!

Well i think there would be a major scramble by every country in the world to get their hands on the seas and oceans. I think the governments would also try to put some sort of fee or taxes on water, because they would not be earning any money from petrol or oil anymore. Also countries like Saudi Arabia will lose alot of money from loss of oil sales. I think overall, it would be great for the environment and great for everyday people like you and me but to governments, life is business and they need to be a successful business.

I think many problems will be solved if this comes true. Many wars may end. All the people in the world will drive as much they want any where and at any time without counting the gas price. I think it will be so cool.

In my opinion,I hope water can instead of oil.As you know,some waster can be changed into new rescourse.And now,oil will be run out at once.It's so urgent that we need find a new way to solve the problem.---------
