This is all really good stuff, but the basic premise of running a car from water is troubling. The earth has how much fresh water available? And for these set ups people have been building, they require purified water.
If we are fueling our cars with water, what do we drink? And don't say juice, because A) the juice you buy in a store is part water, and B) even if you squeezed fruits and whatnot to extract the pure juices and didn't add, we don't do that on a large enough scale to provide the whole world with enough to drink. Then you would have problems with fruit shortage also.
Now, I'm trying to be thorough, so if I miss something I hope somebody will point it out.
Using the hydrogen from urine instead of water is a great idea, but try convincing everybody to run their cars on pee. There are definitely a surprising amount of people who will do it, I am sure, but not enough to make viable I would guess.
Honestly, it is getting late and I am too tired to go back and fix the math some people have done. It has all been wrong, to one extent or another, but I really don't have the energy right now to fix it. Tomorrow, after I've had a good night's rest, I'll go back and fix some math maybe. I've always really loved chemistry.
So expect to hear more from me tomorrow.
