the principle of how it works would only work if you could create energy, which you cant
for every joule of energy you put into splitting water you would get less back when you covert it back to water (by combustion)
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but its sinking, Racing around to come up behind you again, the sun is the same in a relative way but
your older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Novacain in you avatar - it's "you're" not "your".
p.s. actually you'll get every joule back as you can't create or destroy the energy, though you're completely right that it just
won't work in reality as some of the energy will get converted to pointless things like heat/sound.

You appear to have forgotten the full stop at the end of the last sentence...

I have now changed my avatar out of shame of my poor grammar

Now was that a mistake, or was it deliberately ironic?
Hoist on my own petard I'm afraid.

I actually thought that you might of put the "in you avatar" wording on purpose

Flux capacitor?
We have one in the kitchen just like the one in the film (or it might be a blender )
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

[Edited on 16/8/08 by blakep82]
it wouldnt reduce fuel consumption at all, people use it with forced induction to prevent premature ignition. Its another crap HHO idea in this
case!
Reading the wiki link im actually a bit wrong there, but still, you wont see significant MPG improvements!

The expression means "blown up by your own explosive device you were trying to put against the enemy's gates" - however you express
it!
The name 'petard' is quite amusing - in French, it means 'farter'! I have drunk with a few blokes whose farts were that
lethal!

Touché!
For some reason I almost always type 'believe' without the middle 'e', I just can't stop myself doing it. Fortunately
the Firefox spell checker points out the error of my ways, as long as I notice before clicking send!
Do other people have words they persistently miss-spell, or is it just me?
