Sounds like another scam. Be coming out of the woodwork due to high fuel/gas prices. Remember the tornado?

Running electrical through water can create hydrogen gas which is combustable. Electric Fuel Cell

That hydrogen torch was awesome, I hope it works like they say it does.

Ha, just had another thought .. hydrogen + grid heater = big boom

Im not sure if you would need to use a grid heater but they do have diesel buses running with hydrogen fuel cells.

I got a buddy thats working on a hydrogen fuel cell for his mustang, yeah its a gasser but you could apply it to a diesel maybe.

I'm just saying if you inject hydrogen upstream of the stock grid heater and the grid heater comes on, there might not be much left of the intake depending on the hydrogen concentration.

Do any of you guys know how much power it takes to synthesize hydrogen from water? If you could do it with a couple of car batteries and produce enough to run a torch, our cars, powerplants, and everything else wouldn't be running on stuff like coal or petroleum. It takes a lot of high voltage current to extract hydrogen from water.

If there was any possibility of it working do you think more people would be selling, like the big three auto manufactures.
