Has anyone here heard of a You Tube video which shows an engine (piston) that's supposed to be just running on water?
I don't got time to search here.

What brought that on? this. Original posting here.
Another example of this guy's lunacy here. |

Running a keyword search on Youtube would have been quicker than posting a message here. Reviewing the results is a different matter.
Youtube keyword search on "Pump running on water"
Do you mean a pump somehow deriving it's power from water, or simply a pump driven by water under pressure? One is obviously slightly more revolutionary than the other.  |

So, the Wolfgang Pump appears to be useful as either a way of converting rotar energy into water flow, or water flow into rotary energy. I don't even see a claim this thing has, or could have, anything like the function of a car engine. Either of its functions have been done before -- this is just supposed to be a better type.
It is, indeed, "an engine (piston) running on water," when configured to take flowing water and turn its energy into rotary motion. You could make a practical car, with a long-enough hose attached.

I just love how this scientific genius thinks that the perfect way to publicise such a wonderful engineering feat is Youtube.
What more convincing way could there be for demonstrating electrochemical reactions and energy efficiency than some grainy video of some detritus strapped to a lawnmower?

The Skeptics Guide to the Universe podcast once had an item on a car "that ran on water". This was achieved by using an gasoline engine to run a generator to electolize water into hydrogen and oxygen which was then combusted (they didntl say if this was in a fule cell or an internal combustion engine. Of course the Second Law of thermodynamics was biting them in the ass at every step of this materpiece of inefficciency. As usual, the inventor claimed that once it was perfected it wouldn't need the gasoline engine.
Apparently the world is still full of dufi that don't know that water is burned hydrogen - the end product of combustion of any hydrogen containing molecule and therfore about as far from a fuel as you can it. |

Really. A paint thinner can and some tubes. No way to see what is even supposed to be going on. Crude hoax.
