From what I understand about cars that run on water (that is assuming there are any) is the only byproduct that would be created by it would be oxygen. The other argument I heard being made is there isn’t enough fresh water. 1st that would be false overall but second is if you can run an engine on water then you can run desalinization plants on water as well. Stan Myers is the most well-known but there is a lot of information out there that makes a strong case for it being a hoax.
The car that runs on compressed air and the trash to fuel stations is not in anyway hoaxes.

Great. Take that patent and go build yourself a MEG then. Once it's done, hook up your house to the generator and get off the grid.
Just like Bearden has done....oh, hang on....he hasn't. He's still on the grid like everyone else.

I am not the one making claims about his house you are! So either answer the question or quit trolling with ridiculous statements...

So you have been to Beardens house and have seen first hand he is on the grid? Or are you just prevaricating to try and bolster your belief?

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.

Yes, I linked the article on Wikipedia about water fueled cars. It does not debunk this notion at all as you claim.
The process of electrolysis, discussed below, would split water into hydrogen and oxygen, but it takes as much energy to take apart a water molecule as was released when the hydrogen was oxidized to form water. In fact, some energy would be lost in converting water to hydrogen and then burning the hydrogen because some heat would always be produced in the conversions. Releasing chemical energy from water, in excess or in equal proportion to the energy required to facilitate such production, would therefore violate the first and/or second laws of thermodynamics.[5][6][7][8]

How is that not debunking? It then lists some of the well known "water-powered" scams from the last few decades.
Cars can run on hydrogen, but not on water. None of the links prove otherwise.

Also, go back in my links and research these cars that actually ran on water/hydrogen
