Think about it. The energy required to breakdown water will be more then the energy provided from burning the hydrogen and turning it back into water. Considering the inefficiencies of all systems, this seems to be highly inefficient from fuel to power. Dead animals from long ago have been converted into fossil fuels from extreme heat and pressure over millions of years in the earth. When we burn them, we release this energy. I'm sure they use some sort of catalyst to add in the breakdown of the water. I hope as much as anyone else that we can run on water. But you do realize, either the govt will tax our odometer, raise the price of water (unlikley since its needed to survive), or do all they can to prevent this. Right now we pay appx 41cent/gallon in taxes. I would pay a total of 1.41 (for distilled water at the pump) for fuel. I do believe the initial investment will be one of the hardest hurdles to cross, followed shortly by distilled water supplies.
