Water injection, which is a method for cooling the combustion chambers of engines by adding water to the incoming fuel-air mixture, allowing for greater compression ratios and reduced engine knocking (detonation). The hydrogen car, although it often incorporates some of the same elements.
There have been a number of hoaxes, claiming the invention of water-powered engines. No water powered engine has successfully been invented to the point of getting a patent. Conspiracy theorists believe that there is a global suppression surrounding the idea of creating a successful water fuel cell or fully water powered 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. Meyer's claims about his "Water Fuel Cell" and the car that it powered were found to be fraudulent ...
The BAC One-Eleven airliner also used water injection for its Rolls-Royce Spey turbofan engines. Filling the tanks with jet fuel instead of water led to the Paninternational Flight 112 crash. [7] In 1978, Olympic Airways Flight 411 had to abort and return to its take-off airport due to a failure of the water injection system or its processes. [8]
For water-cooled engines on aircraft and surface vehicles, waste heat is transferred from a closed loop of water pumped through the engine to the surrounding atmosphere by a radiator. Water has a higher heat capacity than air, and can thus move heat more quickly away from the engine, but a radiator and pumping system add weight, complexity, and ...
Dingle claimed that his invention splits hydrogen from water in an onboard water tank, [2] and does not produce any carbon emissions. However, he never revealed the secret to his invention. [ 3 ] In an interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer , Dingel said that he would be willing to reveal the secret of his invention if the buyer would ...

The Volkswagen wasserboxer is an pushrod overhead-valve (OHV), flat four cylinder boxer petrol engine developed by Volkswagen.The "Wasserboxer" ("water-boxer") name is a portmanteau of two German words, where "wasser" indicates that the engine is water-cooled, and "boxer" describes the arrangement and movement of the pistons.
