Thanks for posting that video, it certainly sounds nice. However, I too question a couple of points..
1. Volume - REASON - He claims 5L/Min but he does not show a prototype nor burning gas.
2. Claim that he is even producing anything other than steam. - REASON - No prototype shown, no burning gas, only theory and drawings.
3. Claim of results on 13.5V with "nominal bias charge" from STEAM (I presume he means low Amperage) - REASON - It has been stated several times in this forum alone that STEAM is a very poor conductor of electricity. This is because, WATER is non-conductive and as water vapor, it probably is not carrying around its own electrolyte for just such an occasion.
4. Claim of a Semi-Permiable Membrane that will allow Hydroxy Gas through and prevent moderate pressure and temperature STEAM (Water Vapor) through.... -REASON- Water is much smaller than almost all other molecules. For example, it has a smaller volume, and is much lighter, than the four other common atmospheric molecules, oxygen (O2), nitrogen (N2), argon (Ar) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Right away, this seems fishy that he claims Hydroxy when his membrane would have to be sized TOO SMALL to let the O2 through, so at best he would only be getting HYDROGEN. But now lets examine the Hydrogen for a second. We have members who are losing Hydrogen out of thier systems with only 6 inches to go to the butterfly valve... it appears that his electrolyzer is open on both ends... and the Hydrogen is given free roam of the system.
ALL of that being said... I think that this guy is trying something of value. He is trying to raise the energy levels of the water (i.e. weaken the covalent bonds by raising the temp and expanding the molecules and with the heat, also exciting the electrons potentially to higher orbits and thus making it easier to steal them away or rather make it easier to pull the entire molecule apart by lowering its specific density). Kind of like taking it half way to Thermolysis then Brute Force(ing) it over the hump. The design is pretty simple, perhaps too simple to be realistic. I think that IF he has something workable.... then he has left out a LOT of the detail which would be needed with this type of design to make it feasible.
Well anyway, that my thoughts on the subject.
