Unless the inventor develops their device in total secrecy, and then fully and freely discloses the building plans across the internet, it will never happen.

Each and every one of these devices has been debunked.
A good start for understanding why they will not work would be the wikipedia entries on perpetual motion machines, and water fueled cars. Perpetual motion defies the very laws of physics, and converting water to hydrogen and oxygen, as needed to power hydrogen cars uses more power then is released in the process.

As far as the planets rotating and everything in motion you're right. But even space isn't a perfect vacuum, and while it may appear to us that things are continuing as they always have, they are in fact not. Again,I urge you to read up on perpetual motion machines and why they violate the laws of physics. Smarter people than you or I have proven these things. I understand one day these things may be disproven in the future, but currently it stands. If your a particle physicist and have a new theory on this, i'm sure people would love to see it, as you will surely win a Nobel prize.
And yes, I agree water would be a great source of energy, but until we learn to extract that energy efficiently, its useless.edit on 28-8-2012 by nightbringr because: (no reason given)
Another thing is that any car that runs on any non-renewable energy source (even one that we have tons of -- on a global scale) like water is a bad idea in my opinion.

the "LAWS OF PHYSICS" he says...
and converting water to hydrogen and oxygen, as needed to power hydrogen cars uses more power then is released in the process.[/p]
Gas is a much more difficult "energy" source to attain and attaining that resource itself costs energy and reduces the "efficiency" of it, it has to be accounted for. Water however is much much easier to obtain and is much much more prevalent than oil is. The energy saved from not having to build, maintain, deploy, and decommission the oil infrastructure as it ages is massive...

If any of these were viable some other country would have already used it to beat the crap out of the USA.

In other words water is the "ash" from the exothermic reaction. In order to split the water you need to ADD BACK THE ENERGY.....DUH! This is why these are scams.
OK I give you a chance. What is the waste product in a water motor ? It CANNOT be water!
I took an interest in this kind of stuff over 10 years ago. During that time EVERY SINGLE device has been proved to be a scam.
Then there's the basic logic problem: There are very many countries in the world who would love to stick two fingers up at the US and Bigoil. If there really was a free energy device one of those countries (e.g. China) would have developed said machine, be running on free energy, and be even richer DUH!
Not only that but any inventor with IQ slightly higher than 1 knows that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
