Another thing is hydrogen is a relatively low energy density (compared to gasoline) ...meaning you have to carry around A LOT MORE of it to equal a tank full of gas AND the performance of you vehicle will kind of suck...don't expect any 0-60 record breakers.
This is basically fuel cell technology.

Thank you NEBE!! As soon as I heard this I said...Yeah-but....if you include the energy to break down water into its components yeah, you can burn H and O in a car or torch but the "NET ENERGY" consumed is not economically feasible. This would have been done LOOOOOOOONG ago, this is not new.
It pisses me off to see infomercials like this because it misleads the general public. IMO it is irresponsible and those people should be stiffly fined for doing a disservice to the community.
