9. INCREDIBLE LIMITLESS ENERGY SOURCE FROM WATER!!! -- NOT.
Edited on Mon May-28-07 01:15 PM by eppur_se_muova
Doesn't that just sound like a bogus invention, likely a scam? Or at the very least, a claim based on ignorance, that will not stand up to close inspection?

These energy-from-water "discoveries" are just a rehash of something that's been known for nearly two centuries: namely, that if you consume enough electrical energy, you can make H2 from H2O -- and if you burn the H2, re-forming H2O, you recover less energy than was consumed by passage of the electric current:

Hydrogen from water: it's the new Snake Oil. And it shows up too much on DU.
