Anyone here got the basic equipment and saftey know-how to do a test? An accidental short of a car battery would be not difficult and very bad with the experiments shown, but it seems to be no real rocket science.
It would have been better if the gas coming up were shown to be hydrogen & Oxygen.

Have some basic equipment. No safety know-how, just a wreckless curiosity. hehehe
I think I will give this a try soon. The one guy used 12 volts DC and obtain good results. The other guy used some kind of high frequency high voltage AC and achieved apparently better results.
I wonder what 60 cycle AC would do at something like 16 to 18 volts? hmmmmm...
The part that is baffling my simple mind is how to safely transport the hydrogen from the cell to an internal combustion engine. I suppose that once an experiment or two yields hydrogen in sufficient quantities, that problem can be worked out.
I was just a kid back in 1977, working at Litton Datalog on Long Island one summer, when I overheard two of their engineers discussing a furnace for home heat that they were working on. It worked on these principles. Never heard anything about it again. Hmmmmm...

If you look at the Meyers clip from the BBC's "Equinox" video, his system appeared to use pulsed DC and that the frequency seemed to be the important part. My guess is that it has a lot to do with getting near the resonant frequency of the water molecule or it's componant atoms to increase the efficiency of seperating the hydrogen from the oxygen.
