YOU CANT FUCKING RUN A CAR ON WATER WITHOUT EXPENDING MORE FOSSIL FUELS IN CHARGING THE BATTERY.
It's thermo-fucking-dynamics for crissake and I'm tired of hearing this "we can run everything on water" GARBAGE.
To create one joule of energy stored as H2 and O2 requires more than 1 joule of electricity. It doesn't matter where you get that 1 joule of electricity (solar cells, gasoline, hydroelectric...) you still loose some energy in the process. AND YOU'RE STILL DEPENDENT ON THE OTHER FUEL SOURCE.

Tell that to this guy, and apparently the US Military.

Yes his prototype is a mixture. That was his first model. His latest model uses no gasoline what so ever. It sounds as though your very versed in this area; I'm not. So if I'm understanding you right (I certainly dont' want to put words into your mouth- we are destined forever to use fossil fuels because thats what the laws of physics dictates. There is no way around that and when there gone were screwed).
I'm just looking at it in simplified terms. There is already a prototype not using gas, and its in my opinion that if intelligent people like you put their heads together they would be able to find a solution to the problem you are bringing up. If we were to invest as much funding into full development of this as we do in other areas that benefit the ones with power to dictate policy- it would be a complete waste of time because it violates universal laws?
Remember when computers were the size of a house?
