Can a Car Run on Water? How About Mountain Dew?
Patone is the inventor of the Global Environmental Energy Technology Fuel Processor. It’s an engine modification system that allows a typical internal combustion engine to run on up to 80% water.
In a YouTube video, Patone demonstrates his invention using Mountain Dew, although why you’d use $2/liter soda instead of plain old water is a question worth asking. Either way, Patone says that with a mixture of just 20% to 25% hydrocarbon fuel, a car could run mostly on water using a “self-inducing plasma generator” (whatever that means).
Patone spent 25 years developing the technology until he was “framed for securities fraud and railroaded to a mental ward at the Utah State Hospital in March of 2006,” according to the GEET website. Apparently, corrupt Utah businessmen were responsible when Patone refused to sell his patents or technology.
Since released and living in New Mexico, Patone has been refining his invention. He also says this technology can reduce the greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution produced by a car by 90%.
At this point, your question must be the same as mine: Why aren’t all our cars using this tech?
Patone’s claims have never been confirmed or even evaluated by the EPA, and not one peer-reviewed study of the technology has been published in a single peer-reviewed scientific journal.
In other words, Patone’s invention has never come under scrutiny from the scientific community, and the actual viability of GEET technology remains unconfirmed.
