at best you always get out less than you put in - laws of physics remain in effect.
The fact that he's making all these claims that "his" gas burns differently in a welding torch indicates he really doesnt know what he's talking about.

Well, it does say that the gas formed is HHO (the difference between this and normal water is that the two hydrogens are bound to each other instead of both to the oxygen, like this: H-H-O as opposed to normal water, which looks more like this: H-O-H, which would make it less stable, and more prone to react), instead of the normal products of electrolysis, H
2 and O2. However, I agree, as I said before I don't understand how this would help, you still get out the energy that you put in, right? I guess I trust the government and whatever car company he is in negotiation with right now to know what they're doing enough to realize whether this technology has potential or not, and since they're funding it, it seems they think it does. I wish the news reel had a little more detail on the technology, that would be useful.
