It has been many years ago that a buddy of mine worked on a water fuel powered car. The company, I forget the name, was using a van and inside the van was several big stainless or aluminum pots. Looked like a lot of big pressure canners. That outfit hung around for several months and I dont know what ever happened to them. It was several years later that I started hearing about making hydrogen gas from water. I kind of put 2 and 2 together and figured that is what that outfit was doing with their van. I doubt that they ever got things figured out or we all would be seeing vans running up and down the road filling up with buckets of water at the local gas stations.

idea! ~
Hah! Try £1.39....a litre! That's about $1.93/l. Or $8.76 for our gallon....$7.01 for one of yours
I can get 40 (to one of our gallons) from my turbo petrol. I have managed 50
Not likely to be a useable application. It takes ahuge amount of energy to separate hydrogen from water.

right you are! SIL paid close to twice for his loaded, snazzed up to max or close... new V10 truck what i paid for my house in 1977...
truck goes down in value as it is used, eventually close to -0-... but my house is worth around 10 times what i paid for it then now... and only is increasing in value.
of course, for many... salaries are much higher these days, even for first-jobbers. but no way could i sleep at night with a mortgage over $3,000.00 monthly......
only a dream for many...
As for the future of cars, about 3 years ago I read a great article, think it was on the BBC, that postulated a swap to electric, self driving vehicles and an end to private ownership could happen in as little as a decade. The switch to cars from horse and carriage took about that. I recall it showed 2 photos of, iiirc, time Square a decade apart. First was almost all horses, second was all cars. It then explained how the advantages from electric cars, self driving and Uber all strongly compliment. The age of the personal motor car could be ending.
Everyone predicted that we would all be using mass transit, and ride shares like Uber and Lyft. Then the pandemic hit. All of a sudden, personal cars are chic again.

Maybe in big cities but there will always be a need for personally owned vehicles in rural areas as well as the strong "want" to have your own vehicle.
I agree that there are use cases that make the Uber seem not a likely option. Wood scrounging and a filthy interior for one
I can’t see Uber having success beyond urban and suburban middle class folks. It’s great if you need to go from point a to b in a city. But what if you need to haul something with you.
Wonder if your boots and chaps are supposed to fit inside?

Tell you what, when I realized I could get from point a to b and not have to do it under my own power I never went back. I will always have my own vehicle. Dont care how its powered so much as its economical, and doesnt add $400.00 to the electric bill every month.

What kind of tractor is that? If I may askGetting a bit more done, slowly but surely the split pile is growing and the round pile is shrinking.

I love that truck. Like, a lot.
I was just offered a 7.3IDI with trans and transfer case from an OBS F250 for $350. However, it has coolant in the oil (gasket, or worse??). I passed. I want either a 7.3PS, or better yet a 6bt cummins. I prefer mechanical, and like the idea of very few electronics. Also want to swap in a zf5 manual trans.
Then, the other thought is to just rebuild the 460EFI with mild cam, stroked, and maybe a blower or hair dryer. It'll probably still get 8-10mpgs, LOL!
I love diesels, but maintenance and repairs are much more expensive over gassers. Hence my dilemma.
