I disgree. My use of the word research in this case is appropriate: (Scholarly or scientific investigation or inquiry. 2. Close, careful study. To study (something) thoroughly so as to present in a detailed, accurate manner.) I "looked that up" on the internet too. Experimentation is what you do after you've done your research. Otherwise you're just stabbing in the dark.
I do agree with your last statement. There are many people experimenting in this field and offering "solutions" without having done their homework (lazy indeed). That's why I told the person who posed the question to educate themselves by doing some research first. Their question here can actually be considered research. They've received data and opinions from all who responded.
A consistent misconception with this topic is that you can get your car to run on water. That is not the intent at all. Of course you need energy to split the water. It doesn't take a nuclear physicist to figure that out. That is why the gasoline engine is being used. The engine is being used to drive the car. Oh, and by the way, it also drives an alternator. Borrowing some of that already-being-produced current is not an unreasonable notion. Free energy? No. But it is there for the taking. The attempt is being made to increase gas milage by adding an element that increases the burn effeciency. Even the "dumb" systems are acomplishing this to a certain degree. While we're here debating this, plenty of people with systems installd are paying less to get from point a to point b--the only thing anyone is really trying to accomplish. So who's the idiots? Breaking the law of thermodynamics and having perpetual motion have nothing to do with it. It puzzels me why that statement keeps being made--it's irrelevent. If gasoline were the most efficient and non polluting thing to burn to drive an engine, this discussion would be moot. We all know it's not. It's just the most readily available at the moment.
I've got an industry-accepted water/meth injection system in my car. The water/meth solution is atomized by a high pressure pump driven by electrical current being created by, you guessed it, my gasoline engine. This very efficient system in turn allows me to get better performance with a lower-octane gas and, oh by the way, also increases my gas milage. The systems we're talking about in this thread, in effect, are trying to acomplish the same result. They are not trying to prove they can break the laws of thermodynamics and accomplish perpetual motion.
