It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

My only question: 100 miles on 4 ounces of water and how much electricity?

Iceland has been working at becoming independant from oil for a long time now. I think California even opened a hydrogen filling station somewhere. Here is a link to the Iceland story:

It is a real news story, but one must ALWAYS evaluate "real" news stories based on what they DON'T report as well as what they DO report.

I thought about the electricity thing too, I was also wondering if there was another material involved for the electrolysis process he was talking about. If it really works, he is probably going to get offed by the oil companies.

Actually here is the device

it uses 220 so it must need alot of amps to run

Yup. Unless you can find hydrogen laying around in the ground (not likely), then hydrogen is not a fuel - it is an energy storage medium, a chemical battery. Water can be split to make hydrogen and oxygen, which takes slightly more energy than can be recovered by burning the hydrogen. If you have lots of electricity (like Iceland does), it makes sense to convert the electricity to a portable form, even though some is lost.
Windmills are becoming more efficient and cheaper than coal electricity - we could expand our wind energy and produce lots of clean electricity, and convert some of that to hydrogen. The hydrogen storage technologies still need work - it is bulky and potentially explosive at present, who wants to ride around Reykjavik in the Hindenbus?

Assume a economy car that uses only 3 gallons of gas for 100 miles.
These 3 gallons contain roughly 1500 gram of hydrogen and 9000 gram of carbon to burn.
This guy replaces this by 13 gram of hydrogen from 4 ounces of water.
He must have found a way to increase efficiency to 5000% or he re-invented cold fusion.

It does take more energy to convert water into hydrogen than the hydrogen will produce. So, if you used 1KW of electricity to convert hydrogen, you would get farther if you just stored the power in a battery and used it.
This means that at this present time, hydrogen power is extremely inefficient compared to other power sources.
