What a scam...it fits the mental abilities of the Fox audience, though.

It's just another one of the endless stream of con artists peddling electrolysis as the some sort of "miracle" fuel. Always ignoring the fact that you can't get more energy out of burning hydrogen than you spend breaking apart the water molecules.

The inventor is dead, heart attack.

Their method of electrolysis wasnt to just get and burn the hydrogen, its to re-arrange the water mollecule, giving more energy than just hydrogen alone for relativly the same cost.

Its not over-unity, just very efficient browns gas production.

yah thay dont highlight the fact that it probably uses a shit load of electricty in the productoin of the gass however if you had one of these devices in your house atached to a bunch of solor power you can store all the gass and burn it as you need it.

Moving this video to Jaace's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

What a quack. His mythical torch is just a simple oxyhydrogen torch which indeed stays cool to the touch. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxyhydrogen

While I don't dispute that this is more than a little fishy, I was listening to a story on NPR a while back about a guy who converted his garage into a solar/hydrogen power plant. Solar cells generate enough energy to power his home in a typical day, with excess energy going to a device that breaks water molecules up into hydrogen and oxygen atoms, and the hydrogen gets stored away. The hydrogen gets run through a fuel cell to provide power when there isn't enough sunlight to normally power their home. It was built entirely with commodity technology, although he had about 2 grants of $200K each to pull it off. Lemme try and dig up the link... (no luck searching through the archives, I'll post it when I can get it, though...)

So you don't have to ignore the energy it takes to break up hydrogen. You can just get it from a renewable resource, so it essentially becomes "free" energy.

Without government on board, this alt. energy technology is as good as finished.

Found the link to the story I mentioned in my above post.
