Deadheded, I defer to you on this one:

Please explain to Earnest DD the distinct possibility of breaking water down to 'above unity'.

Physics is not my field so anyone here who has a working knowledge of it, let me preempt the criticism of my description.

The second law of thermodynamics in reference to using water as fuel has always proven that it takes more energy to get the hydrogen out than it will produce, the holy grail has always been to overcome that. A positive energy flow from 'breaking water' is refered to as being above unity.

This from a friend with a science background:

NASA generated a report on this subject in 1977. It is not a new concept, but it may well be a concept whose time has come. http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19770016170_1977016170.pdf

Assuming the technology is solid, success will be a function of management, marketing and business strategy. As you are probably aware, the target market for this hydrogen/gasoline hybrid technology is around $1 trillion world-wide in the retrofit segment. My guess is that it will not take off in the new car market - which seems to me more likely to go pure hydrogen. But, strategically, the hydrogen/gasoline hybrid technology may pave the way for the introduction of pure hydrogen and hydrogen fuel cells.

I am particularly interested in Xynergy and hydrogenetics' over-unity claims and am looking forward to hearing from them on that too.
