    I think that the net energy yield of this "fantastic" discovery will be negative: that is, more energy will be required to disassociate the water molecule than will be generated when the hydrogen and oxygen recombine to make water again.

    What do you think?

    I saw this quite a while ago on TV (which is ironic considering I almost NEVER watch TV). I'm surprised that only now it's hitting the net big time. This is the second forum I've seen it posted on today.

    It doesn't say how much energy input was required to dissociate the water. (As an aside, a proposed route to cheap (?) hydrogen generation uses a nuclear reactor to do the same sort of thing.)

    Economic? Another question altogether!
