Has some video about his car. Supposedly after his invention he was asked to work for the pentagon, perhaps DARPA if it existed then, and he graciously accepted. He died during a toast, his drink was poisoned.

Yes, probably with snake oil

Oh, god--another conspiracy site.

I'm not surprised. Sounds interesting though.

actually hydrogen has been separated using h2o for decades. it has always been supposedly unefficient until recently.

[mikehz]

Making hydrogen from water isn't some sort of new magic. The process has been known for well over a hundred years, and we did it in high school physics in the sixties. Nor is it inefficient. It just takes A LOT of electricity. However, you can get back most of that electricity by combining the hydrogen with oxygen in a fuel cell.

So when did the guy actually die?

[dry_ice]

The laws of physics simply does not support getting more energy from water than it takes to break the molecular bond. Period. End of discussion! If anyone on this board has invented a perpetual motion machine, or any other way to get “something for nothing” please let me know, and we’ll all be billionaires.
