    Israeli develops piston engine that runs on water, alcohol – no gas

    -The company is called MayMaan Research, LLC, and it has developed a system to operate a traditional piston engine with a combination of 70% water and 30% ethanol (or any other alcohol) – no gasoline or diesel required. This revolutionary system can be applied, say its founders, with simple yet sophisticated modifications of existing engine designs, and saves 50% on fuel costs, produces far fewer emissions than gasoline or diesel, and is up to 60% more efficient than gasoline. MayMaan has built four operating prototypes to date, including a car, a generator and various engines. While the company has outgrown its garage-based origins, and has grown into a research laboratory facility, it rem

    MayMaan is the brainchild of Yehuda Shmueli, 81, a talented inventor, engineer and master mechanic. Assisted by sons Eitan and Doron, and backed by an impressive executive management team, including Joe Nakash, founder and chairman of Jordache Enterprises; Yedidya Ya'ari, company chairman and former president and CEO of Israel's Rafael Armament Development Authority; Malcolm Hoenlein, CEO and executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents; and other distinguished individuals, MayMaan's disruptive technology plans to revolutionize the world of transportation, from passenger cars, to trucks, locomotives and even ships.

    Eitan Shmueli, company president, explains that "the whole thing started when my father was a boy living in Israel. He didn't see an end to the wars, and he figured out at a very young age that if dependence on oil could be eliminated or reduced, that these problems could be solved." Adds Shmueli on a more humorous note, "At the same time, there was an oil embargo, and my father didn't have money to fuel his motorcycle." Yehuda Shmueli read and thought of ways to solve the problem, says son Eitan, and considered the possibility of somehow harnessing the power of water by utilizing its hydrogen components. The family eventually moved to the United States, where they established a successful printing business. At that point, Yehuda decided to return to his passion, that of developing new technology to harness hydrogen, and he began to experiment...

    Enquiring minds want to know. So much so, this guy may not survive it.

    For his follow-up, he's going to reveal his perpetual motion machine.

    Well that has a slightly lower chance of being mass produced and sent to the market.

    A engine that runs on water has been talked about for years. Some say the petroleum companies buy out the patents.
    Don't know how true it all is but I'm sure others have attempted to make a water engine

    Same with cold fusion and superconductors running at room temperature.

    Converting water to hydrogen gas for combustion. Trouble is, hydrogen really does combust.

    Years ago I did some marketing work for a guy that had a hydrogen system that worked on diesels, I found him a massive mining operation in SE Asia and he sold quite a few systems to them to run their generators, never did get my commissions though. He also had a "trucker cell" that would retrofit cummins engines.

    Apparently it works...

    Interesting! Whatever happened to Arnold's investments in hydrogen fuels R&D? He supposedly had a small plant operation and trying to make it feasible for autos.
