  • A charming stranger acquaints himself with a wealthy family. After a while he reveals to them that instead of gas his car is running on a mixture of water and a special pellet. As this is much cheaper than gas, the oil companies threatened him, he says, when he tried to put this new product on the market. The wealthy family get excited by the prospect of gaining big profits from producing and selling the miraculous pellet. They give him all their money to secure the rights for it.

    One Step Beyond had an episode called Where Are They? that had a story about a man who mixed something with water and made a gasoline substitute.

    The thing about this is that the fundamental rule of chemistry, physics and energy is there is no free lunch. That is all you have to know and remember when approached about anything that promises free energy. Energy is NOT created from nothing. It takes energy to make energy. PERIOD.

      True. Unfortunately most people don't understand that.

    Interestingly acetylene mixed with water will run an engine.
    It costs more than petrol and is not good for your engine but it was a great con that fooled Henry Ford back in the day.
    And only a few years ago, someone tried this scam in aotearoa (NZ).

      The actor with the moustache who played
      Ralph had distinctive voice
      starred in a couple of the 'The Lone Ranger' tv series

      Don't you mean calcium carbide and water making acetylene? AKA miners lamps.
