A water power engine includes prime movers driven by water and which may be classified under three categories: [1] Water pressure motors, having a piston and cylinder with inlet and outlet valves: their action is that analogous of a steam- or gas-engine with water as the working fluid – see water engine
The water fuel cell is a non-functional design for a "perpetual motion machine" created by Stanley Allen Meyer (August 24, 1940 – March 20, 1998). Meyer claimed that a car retrofitted with the device could use water as fuel instead of gasoline.
The water engine is a positive-displacement engine, often closely resembling a steam engine with similar pistons and valves, that is driven by water pressure. The supply of water is derived from a natural head of water , the water mains , or a specialised high-pressure water supply such as that once provided by the London Hydraulic Power Company .
The engine was an upgraded version of the slightly smaller HL210 engine which was used to equip the first 250 Tiger I tanks built, and which had an aluminium crankcase and block. The earlier HL210 engine had a displacement of 21.353 L (1,303.0 cu in) or 1,779 cm³ per cylinder; bore 125 mm (4.9 in), stroke 145 mm (5.7 in).
An article in New Scientist in July 2006 described the power source under the headline "A fuel tank full of water," [52] and they quote Abu-Hamed as saying: The aim is to produce the hydrogen on-board at a rate matching the demand of the car engine. We want to use the boron to save transporting and storing the hydrogen.
A post shared on Facebook claims Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced the creation of a water-powered car engine. Verdict: False There is no evidence Musk has announced such a creation. Fact Check: Tesla ...
The wasserboxer features a cast aluminium alloy cylinder block, cylinder heads, and pistons; and a die-forged steel flat plane crankshaft with four main bearings. [1]As in Volkswagen's earlier air-cooled luftboxer engines, the wasserboxer's three-bearing camshaft is driven directly from the crankshaft by means of a small steel gear on the crankshaft and a larger aluminium gear on the camshaft ...
Notable engine with water fuel injection: BMW 801, Daimler-Benz DB 605, Junkers Jumo 213. When used in a turbine engine, the effects are similar, except that normally preventing detonation is not the primary goal. Water is normally injected either at the compressor inlet or in the diffuser just before the combustion chambers.
