If you pass an electric current through water you will produce hydrogen
and oxygen, the two component parts of water (H2O) - the process is called
electrolysis. Hydrogen is the combustible gas, oxygen supports combustion.
We used to produce these two gases in the laboratory at high school 70
years ago and more. Nothing new there.
We have already had protracted discussion on hydrogen as a fuel for otor
vehicle engines, and Perth (my capital city) is running buses fuelled by
hydrogen. Brown's gas or whatever it was called is nothing new.It is the
economics of it that could be limiting. And yes with these buses the
exhaust gives off steam.
Cheers,
Bob VK6BE.

ever been done in practice, but, it is theoreticaly possible to run a
petrol engine on "browns gas" and therefore all you would be not only
running the vehicle on water, the emmissions would also be water. If I
remember rightly, it requires 22Amps passing through the water container
to convert it to gas.

electrical energy from to create the gas.
