Better yet, if you want to invest in a technology that is completely unencumbered by the laws of physics, why not buy an electric car and put a windmill on the top? The windmill would charge the batteries as you drive and you would have a perpetual motion machine!

BOOOOOGUS!

If you go through the past threads, you will find numerous others that push this kind of junk science andd worthless products. When gas hit $4/gallon there was a steady stream of these; less now that gas prices are back down.

In short, you can’t get anything for nothing; you can change water into hydrogen and oxygen with an electric current, and burn the mixture to generate power. But the energy to separate the gasses is much more than the useful power you get out.

In other words, don’t waste your time.
