More bulls produce.

Claims his system can run on just water but he uses a fuel mix. Proof enough for me that
it's just tosh.

It's well known that engines run better in damp air.....water injection has been around
for decades.

Fair enough, but what do you think about that welder thing that was on before it? Melting steel yet being able to touch the flame?

If you touch the flame it will do the same to you as it does to the metal, only quicker.
Watch it again and pay attention. He states that the cutting tip runs cool, NOT the flame.
See me after school.

From wiki:

"Water torch

A "water torch" is a portable oxyhydrogen torch that combines a DC power supply and an electrolytic cell with a pressure gauge and flashback arrestor. Water is decomposed on-demand into oxyhydrogen, obviating the need for separate hydrogen and oxygen tanks. The original was designed in 1962 by William Rhodes and Raymond Henes of the Henes Manufacturing Co.[9] (now Arizona Hydrogen Manufacturing, Inc.) and marketed under the trade mark "Water Welder". A hypodermic needle was originally used for the torch tip.
[edit] Fringe science and fraud

Oxyhydrogen is often mentioned in conjunction with devices that claim to operate a vehicle using water as a fuel, or that burn the gas in torches for welding and cutting at extreme temperatures, sometimes under the name "Brown's Gas" after Yull Brown who advocated such devices, or "HHO gas" after the claims of fringe physicist Ruggero Santilli.

The most common and decisive counter-argument against using the gas as a fuel is that the energy required to split water molecules exceeds the energy recouped by burning it, and these devices reduce, rather than improve fuel efficiency."

TUT TUT

The first thing the voice over says is along the lines of "His new machine emits a flame that is only slightly warm to the touch"

Please wait back for additional listening classes
