Here's a machine that turns water into synthetic gasoline
 

Even with the amount of electric vehicles we've seen lately, it's likely going to be a long time until they completely replace traditional combustion engines on the road. So how are we going to get away from pricey fossil fuels until then? Well, water could be a possibility. German company Sunfire GmbH thinks it has the solution for turning H20 and carbon dioxide into liquid hyrdrocarbons like synthetic diesel, kerosene and petrol, according to CNET. It does this in part by using a combination of the Fischer-Tropsch process (a chemical reaction that performs the aforementioned transformation) and solid electrolyzer cells (fuel cells that produce gas forms of hydrogen and oxygen).
Sunfire says current systems run nearly 50 percent efficient, but there's potential to increase that to around 70 percent in the future. For comparison's sake, that current value is akin to a modern diesel engine, while gasoline motors only hit a paltry 14-to-30 percent efficiency rating. What's holding it back? The usual bureaucratic red tape. Sunfire says it needs regulatory factors to fall in a way which will give investors a "sufficient level of planning reliability" before it can move forward. So maybe don't get your hopes up too high just yet.

Why are they comparing efficiency of a method of fuel production, with the efficiency of fuel burning engines? The two aren't related.

It'll never see the light of day. Big Oil won't let it happen.

I want one only to make my father happy:)) hahaha!

"Here's a machine that turns water into synthetic gasoline"

Pros:

- It makes fuel
- It makes fried chickens

Cons:

- We will get out of water so we have to drink just coke.

I wonder how much the barrel of water will be going for???

So set up a kickstarter campaign? People will throw money at the weirdest shit, I'm sure this has the potential to pick up some serious steam. Especially if they hire someone smart to get some social media content to go viral.

Impressive.

yes but no:

Fischer?Tropsch process - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

it's more carbon MONOoxyde and hydrogen from

Water gas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
H2O + C → H2 + CO
and i think that since you need more H2, that you can do CO+H2O --> CO2 +H2
