yeah...id like to know how he breaks it down. Thats the hidden part...what amount of energy is required to do that?

common sense says you must put in more energy electrolyzing the water than the energy you get out of burning it. otherwise this would violate some of the most basic laws of physics. I'm not holding my breath.
 
Shens. I seriously don't believe it. WTH is HHO? Oxygen electron structure is 1s2, 2s2, 2p4. Any two H's are going to attach into the P level unless that guy has found a way to bump the 2s2 up into the P level and attach the H's at the S level or something. Besides doesn't it take more energy to split water up into H2 and O2 than burning H2 and O2 gives you?

Folks, there is nothing being hidden here.

He isn't breaking any laws of thermodynamics.

It takes more energy in the form of electricity to break the water down into HHO gas than the HHO gas could provide. That is basic physics.

No surprises there. They don't go in depth like that because the masses aren't going to understand. They also do themselves a disservice by doing exactly that, since most people only hear the water part and assume they're derriving energy from water. That is not the case.

This is not a source of energy. It is an energy transportation device. Like I said in the other thread, if we wanted to implement this technology we would need to find more energy in the form of electricity, probably nuclear power.

it's seriously misleading. the news make it sound like the guy is literally putting 4 oz of water into his car and the car runs off that. I think people who don't have a basic grasp of physics would actually buy into that. it's like a scam and we can't have that :|

I tend to apply the old rule of: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
 
He "patented" electrolysis. Riiiight...if true, I'd like to take out a patent on combustion. I figure I can charge a very reasonable $.0000000001 per molecule combusted.

Figures this was shown on Faux News.

LMAO....another sacrifice to the almighty one😀
 
it is a scam to get $ from the govt. for research

the politicians want to look like they are solving energy shortages so they give away money, that guy is just cashing in

Did he say the flame is as hot as the core of the sun? WTF... I probably heard wrong. The rock would explode instantly with that. Anyways I hope the guy doesnt give in to the temptation and sell this invention.

Damn, forget tire blowouts. Now we have to worry about our cars going Supernova!
