    This video is going to win so many internet discussions
  • I hate how thermodynamics ruins all my childhood dreams and "inventions" .

    you do know that, a car running on water, is called a boat, right?

    Finally someone actually points it out. It always really annoyed me seeing videos about the man who got "assassinated" for making a "water powered car", and seeing everyone in the comments believing that it's possible, as if splitting water to make hydrogen and oxygen, then burning the hydrogen in oxygen to make water actually does anything. It's just turning one thing back into the same thing. If it somehow not only didn't lose energy, but gained energy in the process, then it would be violating the first and second laws of thermodynamics. There is no free energy device!

    Who needs cars that run on water when we have boats?

    I did my master thesis on splitting water using the sun, but not Photovoltaic, but rather use the sun against a photocatalyst metal to move electrons and induce the water splitting. I think this has a future if we are able to produce optimized materials based on this metal photocatalysts

    this is a good video, the average person does not understand the concept of energy
  • Trying to make a car run on water is just like trying to heat up a house by burning ashes in the fireplace. After all, water is just the 'ash' of the combustion of hydrogen.

    That was the most straightforward explanation of fuel cells I've ever been exposed to. Thank you, very awesome 🙂👍

    I don't know if I should laugh or be afraid of the amount of misinformation in the comments

  • If we had this, that would be one fair step forward towards the also impossible existence of Link’s Master Cycle Zero
