This isn't new science in any respect. What you can't do is get energy from water to use as a fuel/energy source.
You can electrolyze water, turning it into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2). No matter what claims are made for catylists and new methods of electrolyzing (I saw one using microwaves to "zap" the water), you won't get the same energy back re-combining H2 and O2 that was needed to separate them. It's a net energy loser. Hydrogen may have a place in the scheme of things since it's relatively quick when refueling (unlike a battery) but it's a method of carrying energy (like a rechargable battery) rather than a source of energy (like oil).

Had to suspect it was too good to be true. How does this guy get away with this claim?
