Daniel Dingle, Filipino Inventor, Car that runs on Water, Nintendo DS perhaps ?

http://www.wasserauto.de/html/daniel_dingel.html

Here is the proof that the man from the Manila, Philippines, his name is Daniel Dingle, since 1969 has been tinkering with the concept that Water can fuel a car, his mileage is awesome, 500 km per 1 Gallon of Tap Water or Salt Water, that is about 300 plus miles per 1 gallon of Water if converted, really awesome. 30 years had past and he still fighting and living the dream, to bad he cannot get a great deal of support from the Philippine Gov't. He wants to get an international patent, if someone from his country that can read this hope you can help the man, its no Ford or Toyota or even a Mercedes that created this, its from the land of the Jeepneys.

Now your thinking what is this had to do with the DS or even the PSP, the BATTERY LIFE !!! I had to present the facts before I post a title like "DS that Runs On Water" so that people will not think that i'm a lunatic or something, Now here are proof and facts that someday our electronic gadget like Nintedo DS, TV's or Cars, will use water for fuel or electric energy, if our man for Manila can do it, so can Nintedo and Sony .

Can you imagine what would be the cost of say a DS if it uses water instead of batteries ? Its nice to dream that we can get the PSP for as little as $ 89.99 come launch.

The original site is in German, but you can use Google to translate it, Go to www.google.com, type Daniel Dingle on the search bar, then click on translate so you can read it in english.

Go Daniel Dingle !!! PSP that runs on water, WOW !!!

by the way his prototype car is a modified Toyota Corolla v1.6 GLi 1990

GO PHILIPPINES!

That's just sad...

[Reallynotnick]

O no my ds is running out of power I need to find a drinking fountain quick! lol Well I don't know if that would really work because it would have to be portable and I don't know how this works does the water turn into electricty or does it just move the car. Because the ds does not need to have an mecanics or movement. Well I think I am going to buy this invention from this guy, think he will go for $600? Well how fast does the car go I want to know because if it can go 300 miles but takes 10 days I don't think I am interested.

[Da Ruckus]

that was sooo last millenium ago....

but for real, I would go down there and try to become his partner in business and become philthy rich, so I can eat a full corse meal in front of you while injecting you with morphene.

[MAX]

The mechanics that would be used to turn water into energy would be pretty expensive...it would raise the cost of the DS and PSP, not lower them.

[brian23987]

Could they even make a device to convert water to power small enough to fit on the ds or psp?

Dream Dream dream...dreeeeaaaammm....dream dream dream

[kheenan_thought]

I said in my post "SOMEDAY", does everybody know the meaning of "SOMEDAY" here

[COTTON]

his name is dingle. that's funny.

[Reallynotnick]

Ok I am pretty sure this is a hoax the guy just put some extra tubes in there and made a place to put water and then told everyone it ran on water. Because if it were true this is like what 3-5 years old I am sure this would become a huge thing looking at the numbers he gave out 310 miles on a galon of water? Top speed of 120 miles per hour? I mean this is so far fetched it can not be true. I want it so badly to be true but it just can not be, I want to meet that guy and really see if that car is true. But he is just dumping water in there and then running it of gas, I just know it.

[Da Ruckus]

well, they(GMC) have the hydrogen car that MAKES water, instead of running off of it.

wow water! wait how do you make water?

[Igotnoname]

Two hydrogen atoms+one oxygen atom

[Da Ruckus]

yeah, I thought it was self explanitory.

But if you aren't that familiar with life, you can burn hydrogen to make water.

[Reallynotnick]

Sorry I was being sarcastic and what the heck would I want with a car that makes water? I mean then would I have to be emptying a water holder all the time. Plus I would never drink water that a car made, sounds dirty to me.

[Just Gabriel]

Ok, think of it this way. The waste products of burning fossil fuels include carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide gas, which as we all know can be dangerous and damaging to the environment. The basis of the hydrogen-powered car is that its waste product is just plain water--therefore giving you clean-running cars. Hydrogen is a more-than-abundant resource, and is also renewable, so the costs would be much lower than gasoline prices now, and it's also alot more environmentally-friendly.
So not only would it be cleaner, but it would also put a stop our dependence on oil imports, which some say, could have prevented a certain attack the US is currently involved in.

*shakes head at rambling water into energy bullsh!t*... great, when we run out of oil, just sap the Earth's largest resource, only one stop towards turning it inhospitable. Some ppl just don't understand the whole CONCEPT of conservation of energy. Nothing is for free, especially energy. It always comes from somewhere, converted or not. When you suck all the water from the planet, you are not getting it back unless you convert something ELSE into water, which requires energy to do as well.

I'm too tired right now to rattle on about that, even though some of you don't get it yet. What you all should understand is static electricity, right? You know, lightning and the thing that gives you a jolt during winter (at least for us who get the whole cold and snow thing...). Ponder, if you will, the sheer amount of it required to make lightning. The atmosphere is a much bigger source of energy, ppl are just too ignorant of its potential. And don't feed me that whole water droplets bouncing off eachother creating static. What do you think evaporating water does as it rises? Same thing.

But here's something that will REALLY blow your mind: static caused by atoms. The sheer movement of your hand typing words in your computer, even the meer thoughts of you reading this cause untold amounts of friction. This is the energy of the future. It's vast, and limitless, as atoms collide and move faster than you or I could comprehend. How we tap into this is the tricky part. But there is some research going on into it, albeit really on the fringe of science. Even what I just told you is not highly accepted, as it is very difficult to prove. Still, this energy field has been dubbed many things, but the most maintstream term is "Zero Point Energy Field". You'll undoubtedly find references to anti-gravity, as that is a side-effect of most devices that tap into this energy field. Eccentric? Maybe. The future? As long as the oil companies don't stop it first, yes!

...now back to your regular pro-Nintendo bickering ^_~ --~

Uh... hydrogen power DOES create water... It's not water-powered, but water is a by-product, so we wouldn't be wasting water at all... We would be using hydrogen, but it is one of the most abundant gases (if not THE most, I beleive) and is completely naturally-occurring. Definately more efficient than using depletable fossil fuels.

[Da Ruckus]

yeah, and guess what? the hydrogen doesn't get used up, it just mixes into oxygen to make water. *gasp* but then you can turn this water back to its basic elements, to guess what? Re-use it! Weird! Also think about the earth, I know its getting warmer because I live in upper Canada and when it gets 40ºC (like in 100ºF's for those who use stupid scales) almost for a month you know something is wrong. Hey you know what's even crazier? Wind power could power the world twice over! People with gas power plants must be fools!!

[brian23987]

Wind power could power the world twice over! It could power the world but it would take thousands upon thousands of acres of windmills to do it.

[Da Ruckus]

not really, most can be intergrated into buildings and on the ocean, out of the way. It's just how efficient they're made.

[rogue_gamecube]

I hope you like a sky FILLED with those spinning contraptions, not to mention the MASSIVE maintenance! Oh, and you know, that bull that using hydrogen as fuel just makes more is just that, BULL. Why do you have to keep putting hydrogen in the car? Why can't you just keep reproducing the water into hydrogen, and make it one closed circuit?! Because it consumes hydrogen, or in lamen, burns the stuff up. I sure as hell don't want a sky, or ocean, or desert covered by wind mills, and I also don't want to drain the oceans dry (with hydrogen as a fuel source, that IS the inevitability). May I also remind you of the consequences of blocking out the sun in either the sky or ocean (Animatrix: Second Renaissance, look into it). Besides, look what you were just using as a point for your arguement, "most abundant gas". Atoms encompass every solid, liquid and gas. You want abundant? As an idol I'm sure any of you can relate to once said, "I laid the Smackdown on you!" Gawddamn am I spent...

[Just Gabriel]

How about we just leave it at we can be more efficient than we are, but we aren't? The point is, we could be donig alot better than we are, but we are being held back by the fact that these things take money, and nobody is willing to spend money to possibly ruin their own business. You can't tell me that that isn't one flaw of capitalism.

[rogue_gamecube]

Hell, we can all be in flying cars running on vegetable oil, but would that make rich people richer or not as rich as compared to, say pumping the planet dry of oil? Not willing to spend money my butt, they want to MAKE more money. For instance, for those of you that have access to this months PopSci (Popular Science magazine), there's an article on an Italian inventor who made a breakthrough with combustion engines. He makes suttle changes, and decreased fuel consumption by an average of 20% without any horsepower or torque loss. In fact, it also made the engine run cooler, thus extending the life of the engine. How many years has he tried to get his research recognized? Over 9. Only now has he been given a job to thoroughly test his research in a sactioned lab, which includes a 5 year non-disclosure agreement. So from conception to marketability, over 14 years. And this is only a performance increase in fuel efficiency! Apply this model to a radically new energy source and/or engine, and you're looking at a near impossibility to bring it to the world within a persons lifetime. Reason? Big companies don't want change. Or, at least, not radically so that profit drops. I mean, what's a new technology worth to big business when it's only benefit is to humanity, not their wallets, right? The reason why we haven't had another technological breakthrough recently as in the past, is that we actually already have. Greedy and powerful people don't want another one too quickly, it's not profitable...
...and so the world turns, and I yearn evermore to choke to death one of those b@stards. --~

Actually there are hydrogen engines and all they produce is PURE water. THAT is the run off. On top of which, it is one of if not THE most productive engine ever invented. The only draw back is that the system is TOO big for normal vehicles and they cost TONS of money.

Chicago has a few hydrogen busses and they are amazing.

Yes everything has run off and everything gets consumed. But you do not lose the energy, it just gets converted into something else. Hydrogen to water in this case.

Also, you can have a system that would just cycle. The problem is that it would be IMPOSSIBLE to have a system like that, that would be portable. The Hydrogen engine system barely works for busses right now and people have spent the past decade trying to figure out a hydrogen engine that would work within a car that fits.

A cycle system is decades upon decades off.
