There are many ways to extract hydrogen, there are catalysts that lower the energy thresholds in the process, making it more efficient, but you can not get around the energy it takes to separate the hydrogen from whatever it was bound to.
Anyone with basic understanding to physics and chemistry knows this.

“Anyone with basic understanding to physics and chemistry knows this.”

Unfortunately, there are at least two on this board that insist that perpetual motion machines exist.

Not sure, but I since some understood my post as to convey that I lack understanding in regards to energy in/out theory. I’m not the brightest bulb in the package, but I do hold a degree in the science of electronics and have oh, about 28 years in the field.

I don’t believe my post suggest that this experiment was the Eureka moment in the study of hydrogen extraction. I thought it interesting to have stumbled upon a discovery such as this. Heck, multiple institutions picked up where this fella left off....not discovering it themselves. I find that pretty amazing in of itself.

Throughout my career, I’ve utilized signal generators many times. In the video, they declare the flame measured close to 3k Fahrenheit. The source was not clearly defined, but the signal generator on the bench top did not appear to be a particularly high powered unit based off of the generators I am accustomed to. I’ll have to go back and see if I can identify the make/model and attempt a search for output specs.
