Crap. The combustion of hydrogen & oxygen produces EXACTLY as much energy as it took to separate them in the first place. Even if you could make the system 100% efficient (which you can't), you can't get more energy out than you put in. That's the way the universe works: if you have problems with it, I suggest you take up the issue with your deity-of-choice.

Until then, lets encourage people to at least give all these ideas a shot instead of beating the hopes and dreams out of people as if we were an oil company.
Translation: Instead of dealing with the real world, let's let people go on fantasizing about getting something for nothing, making them easy targets for every scammer with a good line of patter.
