There are a whole lot of things in this world today, that were deemed impossible at one point.

Physicists disagree amongst themselves on issues.

Physicists spent twenty years thinking string theory was the be all end all of existence trashing a man who thought there were 11 dimensions instead of 10.

And now the 90% of the physicists who spent the last twenty years trashing one proponent of the 11 dimension theory now agree with him, and his theory that the string theory was not as sound as the M theory.

Never ever state that something is entirely impossible before you study every possible aspect of what is taking place with the actual device in question.

You will be right more often than not, but the idea you might pass up the discovery of a lifetime or generation, is too great a risk to take.

This professor is only relying on the you cannot get a free lunch theory, and is on very solid ground. Even wall street is having to come to terms with that one.

That is true. However, you still can't generate energy from nothing. It takes more energy to split the water into hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis than is generated from burning the hydrogen. You also have the fact that the alternator isn't 100% efficient.

So where does this energy that is the greater sum of its parts come from? There's no catalyst that is reducing the energy required to split the water molecules. The hydrogen doesn't dramatically increase the efficiency of the combustion of the gasoline.

The processes involved are well known, such things have been tried before without such results, and there is nothing new in this process to explain why the combination of it with a gasoline motor would suddenly become more efficient.

It's a scam.

Violating the second law of thermodynamics is entirely impossible.

Always has been. Always will be.

Entirely.

This one is ENTIRELY IMPOSSIBLE.

D-1, a diesel engine already has hydrogen to burn from the diesel fuel. That hydrogen produces less than 2% of the energy that the engine produces. Adding more hydrogen will do nothing for the combustion; adding more carbon would do a lot, but the only way to do that is to put a bigger fuel pump, and bigger injectors on the engine. Unless you have a bigger load to move, the above would be useless.

There is no fairy godmother of fuel efficiency.
