How was he heating and cutting the metal?
How was he holding the tip of the torch as it was burning?
How and why did he receive a patent on the technology and a contract from the American military to outfit a Hummer with his new technology if it is bogus?
Those are a few of the many questions this report raises.
It looks like he made a small, portable hydrogen cracker, which I think would be very valuable in the field where gasoline/diesel might be scarce. Soldiers could use this machine to crack hydrogen from water and use it to power their Hummers, and that has obvious value.
Cracking hydrogen from water is not a new science or a novel idea, but it does take a lot of energy (electricity) to do it. In fact, with today's technology, it takes more energy (electrical) to crack hydrogen from water than the energy (chemical) it produces, so it's not viable as a mass energy process. However, in situations like battlefields, under the right conditions (water and electricity is available), it's a great idea.
