'Water-Running' Car Gets 100 Miles To The Ounce, Inventor Says

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A Florida man has created a car he claims runs on tap water.

"I'm getting 100 miles to the ounce on water," inventor Anthony Brown said.

Brown said he shut his fuel injection system down and created the system that can use any type of water with a small amount of gas. He said the car is getting just fuel vapor.

"When you separate the water from the oxygen from the hydrogen, it cooks and it cooks down to a brown," Brown said. "We're not having any waste product off of it. Everything is consumed and burned."

Local 6 showed video of Brown filling up his vehicle with water and then driving around.

Brown said any profit he makes from his invention will go toward helping missionaries around the world.

"I've just been asking for a way, for the Lord to show me to raise money rapidly and I started to working on this idea," Brown said.

No. For best insulation, asbestos is the only answer.

I'm glad to see the news showed the scientific side of what the man was claiming to do.

Oh wait, they didn't. That must have been the most pointless story ever. Someones editor caught wind of the story, sent a camera guy down there, camera guy comes back and tells the editor the story is complete BS but gives him the footage. The editor goes ahead and edits together something that appears to be news but lacks any details whatsoever all in the name of doing a story about rising gas prices.

Slow news day I guess.

No, just seems par for the course for the current crop of network news shows. In a 30 minute broadcast there will be 10mins of commercials, 18mins of craptastic local drivel, 1 min of teasing the upcoming news reports later in the show, and 1 min of actual worthwhile news.

You'll get that around the world in 60secs report, but if Britney Spears tampon string was hanging out you'll get a full on shot, coverage of her previous muff flashes, discussion with the resident Psychologist on why she likes to show off her beaver, then some smartass comment by the newscaster.

Sheesh!

until you remember that they are attractive idiots who, at best, can read some sentences about something that might have happened recently.

no one doubts the ability to run a vehicle on hydrogen (see the BMW 7 series)

what is in doubt is the ability of car to produce "HHO" gas via its charging system and a container of salt water
