This is really an amazing concept. Using the technology as a power source for cars is a really wonderful idea, but even its intended purpose – as a fuel for cutting torches – is great. It would mean a huge step for safety in the machine shop. I'm not entirely clear on the reason it works for cutting, though I think it may be combining with the metal to produce metal-oxide and H2, which would then be flammable. It reminds me of an article on Slashdot a while back about an engine that was able to somehow combine water and metal to do the same (in this case the H2 gas would then be used to produce electricity in a fuel cell, such that it could be recycled back into water). The full article, posted on IsraCast.com, is rather interesting. There are many skeptics on Slashdot, however, if you take a look at the comments. I certainly hope this new technology is real, and judging by this video it seems like it is a definite possibility.
