The Car That Makes Its Own Fuel

I can produce methane inside my body using only common vegetables such as beans. OK, so it's not emission free.
Does it have cupholders?
No no. This simply can not be. The Oil companies, with their record profits, are developing this type of thing. If they haven't come up with it, then it simply does not exist.
It's either on the beat or off the beat, it's that easy.

Using our factory prooven VapoMax technology, we use common metals to generate hydrogen to power your car on! Our PATENTED fission-fusion transduction method uses a ion-converter coil to bring you: THE CAR THAT MAKES ITS OWN FUEL!
A unique system that can produce Hydrogen inside a car using common metals such as Magnesium and Aluminum was developed by an Israeli company based in. The system solves all of the obstacles associated with the manufacturing, transporting and storing of hydrogen to be used in cars, plus it runs Duke Nukeem Forever on a new POWER-based-ARM processor with 500 gigs of visio-ram harddrive access. When it becomes commercial, real soon now(c), the system will be incorporated into cars that will cost nothing to run, and will be completely emission free-- they even reverse pollution!
Soon, you can drive in your eco-friendly Vapo-car, while playing Duke Nukeem forever, past clear mountain streams flowing into cities powered by rainbows!
DYWYPI?
LISA! In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!!

Only on slashdot could this be modded insightful.

Or is this just "outsourcing" pollution?
I find it amusing that your sig says use Coral Cache! but you don't.
Whenever I hear the word activist, I reach for my revolver.
Personally, I prefer activism to terrorism.
it is unfair to expect a car to be run on water or air or dirt. and solar technology is not good enough yet for a solar car
Why is it unfair? I can think of a self replicating transportation device which is powered by the result of proper application of water, air, dirt and solar energy. Technically, an initial seeding device uses solar power to combine water and air into the fuel used, and generally creates more copies of the special seeding device in the process, sometimes the copies are imperfect though leading to changes in the fuel delivery system. This fuel creation device does needs adequate application of other chemicals, such as nitrates, phosphates and trace metals, but these can be extracted directly from the soil by a fuel production plant. Additionally, byproducts from the transportion device itself can be used to replenish the chemicals used. Although improper disposal of the byproducts may be noxious and pose a potential health risk.
These devices are often matched up in speed competitions, similar to automobile races. This remarkable system has been used to great effect in law enforcement and military operations for quite some time now. This device has also seen great success in farming and ranching operations.
There has been discussion of adapting this technology for flight, however most experts find the idea is not feasible to implement. Repair of malfunctioning units does require specially trained technicians and it takes delicate care to reassemble any broken parts, although there is a limited repair system built in to the device.
Oh, and a lot of girls find men who get around using this method to be far more attractive than a guy who drive a Prius.

It stops on a dime and picks it up.
from somewhere... oh yeah! That's clearly a lifted picture of the Shelby GR-1 concept car at the top of their "press release."
Here's a desktop version from Serious Wheels.com for you car nuts.

I admit the metal industry and the large energy corporations may not be that interested in answering all these questions. The photo of the car on the web site suggests this technology is ready to go. IMHO it has a LONG way to go.
It's funny how people keep saying "IMHO" whilst asserting that their opinion is more correct than someone else's. If opinions were really humble they'd never be asserted over other people's, and would usually not be heard at all.
haraldm, apologies for this being a reply to your post. It's mostly just a convention, and everyone does it. I'm just feeling grumpy and opinionated today.
"in general I know you can get a LOT of hydrogen out of a little water"
Roughly 2 atoms per molecule would be my guess.
Eloi are stupid, throw morlocks at them!
Great, it runs on water.
Price of gas - $2.50 a gallon.
Price of water - $1.50 for 20oz.

Unless you're driving a racing version with high compression, you don't have to run on premium water like Evian for top performance.
You can fill on regular tap water for a couple of cents per cubic metre. Or, if you're one of those environmentalist, you get an engine conversion done and you can get your water from sewage pipes and septic tanks for free!
Live forever, or die trying.
Wouldn't that make it run like shit? :-)
