Hmm, good info. It definitely stretches my grasp of chemistry to its limits. I need to run this by someone with more expertise. Some of his energy bond reformation calculi seem a little off to me. Although he's right about the basic principle of requiring a certain amount of energy to produce energy through electrolysis. Two things I have to consider:

1. The system I am experimenting with would use electrical energy from an extra battery, in turn being charged by a larger alternator, which is drawing its energy from (the now much more efficient) combustion process. The 576kJ output (from plain H20) that he speaks of is about right. But the input energy of 2765 kJ I have to do more research to verify.

2. No mention of electrolysing a catalytic fluid, as opposed to just plain H20. Wouldn't there be a significantly higher yield of monoatomic hydrogen compared to just water? Again this would need to be verified. But the 'blow torch' video would lead me to believe so.

I aways did hate chemistry in school (Physics was my thing)!
