I actually expected as much, and since I've only seen this in the one place, I was curious as to whether or not anyone had seen something similar somewhere else. I know that electrolysis will work to produce hydrogen, however the issue is producing it at a high enough volume to provide the pressures needed in an engine. Also there's the issue of a power source that can operate the fuel cell that's small enough to be portable. However a highly efficient high hp electric motor would be an ideal item for ev conversions, and while one that's an over unity device may be an impossibility, one that uses less juice than current standards shouldn't be so far fetched.
