The Beginning

I first thought of the idea when I watched a video on youtube.com about a guy named Stan Meyer who had developed the means to burn water by splitting the molecules apart into Hydrogen and Oxygen. Being a student studying chemistry at Rhodes University in Grahamstown, South Africa, I was skeptical but at the same time interested.

I immediately started researching this technology and found a wealth of information about it. One of the most exciting applications mentioned was the possibility to run your car off one of these devices. Although this idea is extremely skeptisized in the online community and labeled as impossible as it would defy the laws of thermodynamics, I began to see a definite possibility that people were utilizing it to decrease their fuel costs and emissions.

I eventually lost interest and it was not roused again until I saw an advert for a manual that would give you instructions to convert your car to run off water as well as gasoline (or petrol, as we call it in SA). It was offered by DriveWater and cost $49.95, I bought it immediately as I thought it would be a nice project for my girlfriend and I over the holidays. If it turns out to be successful I would save over 60% on fuel costs, if it were a useless invention then at least I would have fun.

This blog is for those people like me who are skeptical but interested. I will regularly post updates on our progress as well as photos. Hopefully when its done, you will be inspired to buy the manual and try it for yourself. I would also like to set up something so that people who are doing it at the same time could ask questions and help each other, especially those of you in South Africa who might have problems getting hold of suppliers and working in inches!!!

Hope you enjoy the reading and good luck if you're converting your car too.
