Water burning engine???

What a piece of bullshit.

›› How a WATER-Burning Car Works

The engine in your car is the same, but instead of pumping liquid gasoline you use regular tap water. The electricity from your alternator converts the water into a gas called HHO. That gas can be mixed with regular gasoline and sent through the internal combustion engine.

The result is that you get more energy from the expanding gas, which results in higher gas mileage, and the byproducts are mostly H2O, so you also get cleaner emissions.

Of course, you can't just pour water into your tank and expect it to work. You have to know what you're doing and you have to buy the right materials and install it correctly.

That's the main benefit of this guide -- it shows you step by step how to modify your car and what parts you need. The cost for parts will be less than $60 at a hardware store, and you should be able to make your car into a hybrid for less than $150 total.

The 90-page guide gives you detailed instructions. This is the best way to make sure you're installing everything correctly and optimizing your gas savings.

Some obvious issues:

1. HHO is like so H2O. Any simple chemistry student can tell you this. Water + petrol... = HHO? If you can make something out of nothing, why not invent cold fusion while you're at it.

2. While it is true that expanding gas does push the engine piston, THERE IS NO EXTRA ENERGY GENERATED. The fuel, gasoline, is actually present in an even smaller proportion, due to the addition of water in the fuel mix. Hence, going by the first law of thermodynamics, the net energy generated is actually less per volume of "mixed fuel".

3. Do you get more energy? As per point 2, not possible due to the limitations of the first law of thermodynamics.

4. Are emissions cleaner? Technically yes. If you use less petrol of course it doesn't create as much pollutants. Byproducts mostly H2O? If you put water in, you get water out. Duuuuuuuuh.

5. Furthermore, car engines are DESIGNED to run with petroleum/diesel fuel. These are mostly (if not completely) non-polar solvents. Adding water (a polar solvent) into the mixture, we will observe a two-layered solution, as water and petroleum are immiscible. What are the effects? First, the car engine may not function as it should. The spark plug is designed to ignite an atmosphere rich in petroleum fumes (which is what normally happens in a car engine.) Having water in the engine may reduce the partial pressure of petroleum fumes in the engine atmosphere, reducing it below the spark point. Hence engine may not function at all. Second, given the design of the engine, addition of water may actually cause faster wear and tear of the parts, as they are not designed to work in a moisture rich atmosphere. And I'm sure everyone knows what hot H2O is.

What the hell man.

You are The Hermit

Prudence, Caution, Deliberation.

The Hermit points to all things hidden, such as knowledge and inspiration,hidden enemies. The illumination is from within, and retirement from participation in current events.

The Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. You do not desire to socialize; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. You prefer to take the time to think, organize, ruminate, take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent but these feelings eventually lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity.

The Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist. This a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing.

Aftermath

Someone has told me the message wasn't clear.

I will survive.

That's it.

Fuck lah. It's still a super emo night.

Fuck lah. It's just a super emo night.

Total Eclipse of the Heart

It's all coming back to me

Complicated Heart

Even if you want to go alone
I will be waiting when you're coming home
If you need someone to ease the pain
You can lean on me, my love will still remain

Home?

Well, i'm back.

Back from the whirlwind of 12 days that ended so sharply.

Withering activity, peace in a pack.

I'm back.

But I don't feel at home.

Life passes by in episodes, vigorous activity, quiet interludes.

I'm back.

Silence is deafening, when you are looking for it.

Space is more obtrusive when it is empty.

I'm back.

And I keep trying to convince myself I am.

They say home is where the heart is.

I'm back.

But am I home?
