As they say: "There is no such thing as a free lunch".
OK so, water does not burn, it is stable. Water can be split into hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis. This hydrogen and oxygen can then be burnt releasing energy. Woohoo! Free energy!?!?
Unfortunately splitting the water into hydrogen and oxygen requires at least as much energy as will be given off by burning the hydrogen and oxygen and most of the energy released when burning will be lost as heat. No free lunch.

Water is not a fuel. This video does not show water being used as a fuel. Water is a raw material that is converted into fuel thanks to a lot of electricity. Hydrogen and Oxygen in gas form are a perfectly good fuel. Unfortunately, electrolysis uses more energy than you get from burning the resultant fuel, so it cannot in any way replace petrol/gasoline as a vehicle's fuel source. Eventually, your battery will run out of juice. Given that, a straight electric car will get more range.

It's a scam. The entire process requires more energy than you get out of it, making it worthless. The only "conspiracy" here is that Fox news spent so little time fact checking the story, since the idea of "easy energy" made by a lone inventor in his garage is going to boost ratings far more than the truth: another con artist tries to convince well meaning people to invest in his fake invention.

IT'S FAKE that's why FOX reported it, IT ISN'T TRUE
Please like the 'what happened to this invention??' comment so Fox viewers and other suckers can find the truth quicker and not waste their time.

LOL only on Fox "News". lol

@wildmantis1 try researching electrolysis, to learn a little more about it, and by "create" I ment to separate, thus creating gas from water!, the H2 and O2 comes from the H2O that is water, and the electricity it uses to do this is 200% more energy then you can get back from that same H2 and O2, spend just 5 minutes researching it it and you will see all the scamms and how simple this is and how OLD it is, hell even Wiki gets it right

@1crazyfocker All that is being done is splitting the molecule, which may not take much electricity at all. The elements aren't being created, they're simply being mined, extracted, or separated. At least, that's what I gather from this

@zelibober try again, first try reading up on the stuff instead of guessing, 2nd, LO2/LO3 is not a "propellant" or fuel it is an oxidizer, the LH2 is the propellant or fuel, it is kept in a liquid state for the simple fact that you can store more "gas" in a liquid form. and all of these facts still have nothing to do with why ice forms during firings of the main engines less then an inch away from thousands dagree flame. really this is common stuff but you do have to read to find it.

@1crazyfocker O3 is a propellant H2 is not. Liquid propellants are reacting with almost everything and it is very hard to store it so they are cooling the rocket all time before launch and even some time after so it will not over heat. That is why you can see ice.
Thumbs up if your seeing this in 2011 and they forgot about it. HOW DO YOU FORGET THIS KIND OF SHIT FOR 1...2...3.4...5...6 5 YEARS?

Inventors, Publish your inventions. Get people building it all over the world and ensure its survival.
Once you have a Patent, the Oil company will buy "control" of it and shelf the technology, why would they promote something that puts them out of business? Let the Inventor manufacture the product and make a living from that, people will want to buy the Original brand.
The Patent Office is a private company, you don't have to beg them to accept your idea if it already works. (deleted once)
