The most common method of making H2 from H20 is offcourse electrolysis. I wonder where they get the power from to do this and how much energy this takes. Also wondering how do they do this effectively and how the thing looks under the bonnet.. I'm thinking it's a rather big package underneath the bonnet..

40 mpg is very efficient, and the acceleration and top speed numbers are fascinating too. The car looks sporty and can be compared to any of the latest supercars (I think!)

Those performance figures make me kind of sceptical, from a V-tec 3.5 L V6...

I am assuming the power to do electrolysis is from the gas engine, kinda skeptical about the claim as you are using the engine to do double the work and probably not getting the energy input into the electrolysis cycle completely out of the H2 burning cycle.....
