Not to be arguementative, but there are twincharged setups that are far more efficient than simple turbo setups.. several of them are still in use today, and I believe Nissan and Toyota have both used it, and I know Lotus has used it on the Toyota GTS engine in their Elise.

Twinscrew charger w/ an electrically dis-engaged clutch (like A/C system) and a large turbo charger (something that wouldn't spool until halfway through the normal ranges.) seems to be the best setup for it.

The idea is to have the supercharger making up for the inefficiency of the turbo at low RPM's, then as the Turbo spools, the pressure differential causes a switch to open the circuit on the S/C, which also opens a bypass valve in the Intake... the S/C becomes excess weight, while the turbo, now spooled, pushes boost.

The S/C is only there to keep the engine in boost at low RPMs.. it's more of a street technology in this config, although the weight and complexity of some systems has basically "outlawed" it in the minds of most dev's.

Anyway, we're wayyy OT here... so back to water.

As far as I'm concerned, with all the "clean" ways to produce electricity, this should be a VERY pheasible source of "clean" energy.. I mean, think about it.. if all electricity was near-to free as a result of 0 fuel costs to produce it, what would be the problem with running super-efficient water burning cars?

Especially since you could leave your own distillation/electrolysis tank plugged in all the time (with safety features, obviously), so that all you'd need to do when you needed fuel, is plug your car into the tank, fill up with pressurized fuel, and take off again...

Also, in the future, if everyone produced their own fuel, "vehicle range" wouldn't be an issue, since I"m sure we'd all be willing to just give some fuel away if someone ran out in front of our house... after all, it's free, and renewable in minutes.... think about it.

World peace, much? Ok, maybe not from water fuel... but still.
