The world needs a new source of energy, an unspillable source.

Is this really the answer to the world problem?

I seen a blog about a patent that GM owns. It is a water powered car. I think the way it works is steam generated by a microwave device is injected into the combustion chamber then ignited by a spark plug. Kinda like a mini lightening bolt. after the engine warms it generates its own steam. The steam from the exhaust is then collected and re circulated back into the steam generator. I seen some vids on youtube where guy make what they call a plasma arc with steam an a spark plug, looks kinda cool. Oh yeah It was patented in 1915 by General Motors. I was thinking if GM owns it, it must work. Why would they patent it?
