You know, A Car that runs on water isn't impossible..
Anyone ever do electrolosis experiments in school?
You take a plastic bucket of water, and 2 empty jars. Place the jars in the water to fill them up, and then turn them upside down while keeping them in the bucket.
Attach a wire to the positive pole of a car batter and insert the other end, stripped, into the first jar. Attach another wire to the negative pole and insert the other end, stripped, into the other jar.
After a few seconds, bubbles appear on the wire tips of both wires inside each jar, and float to the top. One wire is producing Hydrogen Gas, while the other is producing Oxygen. (H2O). The more voltage you have, the faster the jars will fill.
When the jars are about half filled with gas (the gas will push the water out), reverse the polarity. You are now inserting Oxygen into the Hydrogen jar, and Hydrogen into the Oxygen jar).
WHen the jar is just about empty of water, light a match, and slowly lift one of the jars out. Bring the match to the mouth of the jar and WHAP! A mini explosiion of Hydrogen and Oxygen.
If you had enough voltage and mechanics, you could make your own fuel out of water. Simple chemistry!
