Water as Fuel

very intresting video there. However Im far too inferior to know a lot of how it works, isn't HHO just the same As H20. The problem in the past with this type of concept was the amount of energy required to electrolyse the water formed back into Hydrogen, as the amount of energy required for that is greater than the energy that is getting produced from the petrol. They don't seem to explain how they overcome this obstacle.

Nice find.

Water is really the most stable form in which oxygen and hydrogen are combined, you can't extract chemical energy from it like you can from fuel, unless you toss in something really radical like potassium, but that's not the kind of stuff you can just find on the earth, it costs a lot of energy to make. The only way to get energy out of water is by taking out the tiny portion of hydrogen that is deuterium and fusing that, but that's not something you do with a blowtorch. :)
