Why is the squash put on new tech like this ?

 
"Brown's Gas" is oxyhydrogen with a 2:1 molar ratio of H2 and O2 gases, the same proportion as in water. It is named after Yull Brown, who claimed that it could be used as a fuel for the internal combustion engine.[4][13] It's also called "HHO gas" after the claims of fringe physicist[14] Ruggero Santilli, who claims that his HHO gas, produced by a special apparatus, is "a new form of water", with new properties, based on his fringe theory of "magnecules".[13]

Many other pseudoscientific claims have been made about Brown's Gas's ability to neutralize radioactive waste, help plants to germinate, etc.[13]

Oxyhydrogen is often mentioned in conjunction with vehicles that claim to use water as a fuel. The most common and decisive counter-argument against producing this gas on board to use as a fuel or fuel additive is that more energy is needed to split water molecules than is recouped by burning the resulting gas.[4][15] Additionally, the volume of gas that can be produced for on-demand consumption through electrolysis is very small in comparison to the volume consumed by an internal combustion engine.[16]

He was sued and then died (of natural causes). One simply cannot create the gasses (via electrolysis) without using more energy than they will produce when recombined.

The energy required to generate the oxyhydrogen always exceeds the energy released by combusting it, even at maximum efficiency. The input energy of a closed system will always equal the output energy, as the first law of thermodynamics states.

It was found to be nothing more than common electrolysis, consuming more energy than it produced! :doh

The courts ruled it fraudulent, and awarded his investors damages - which pretty much ended his charade.
