This system clearly isn't a closed system, it's consuming water for fuel. So this is absolutely not a "perpetual motion machine", nor should we refer to it as such.

Use a little bit of energy to change the water into HHO gas, then burn the HHO gas to get a LOT of energy out. Make sense?

Fuel cell... hrmmm. In my opinion it's a little bit of a distraction from boosted cold spark implosion with ball or circular skin effect cathode/anode plugs, incorporating direct injection of water into cylinders as it's not as efficient for making power at a basic level it seems, however it does not require a cylinder based engine. It's all about the shape of the cell and the electronics to drive it. Make the molecules work easier for you
Then of course there is the ignorant bunch, who claim they can "trick" a molecule, a magnet or a piece of rock into behaving according to their volition, and contrary to physics laws, most of which have been tested to umptieth decimal place.

They are claiming OVERUNITY. Overunity is potential perpetual motion/energy.
That means they think they could use the energy from the burning water to power the electrolysis and still have energy to spare. Perpetual motion.

What do you think you get when you burn hydrogen? You get water. So they convert water into hydrogen and oxygen and then those two combust and become water again. Assuming the only source of hydrogen and oxygen is the initial supply of water, you'd get back exactly as much water as you put in.

Who said that? Certainly not me!
My understanding is that when you combust the HHO gas, yes you do get a small amount of water back - but the same amount of water you started with in the first place? Hell no!!
What you guys don't seem to be getting is that most of the water is consumed by this process. As in, gone, forever. Consumed, like fuel! And when you consume the water in that way, you get a huge amount of energy.
Stan Meyer, and others, discovered ways to change water (H2O) into hydroxy gas (HHO) using little energy.
changing H2O into HHO --> little energy
combust HHO gas --> LOTS of energy
Why is this so hard to understand?

Good God man. For the last time, "perpetual motion" machines don't use FUEL.
And "Overunity" simply means a COP > 1.0 - which is entirely possible, if your system uses FUEL.

Closed systems, that don't use FUEL, can never be overunity.
Originally posted by MajorDisaster
Open systems, that are using FUEL or other sources of energy from the environment (solar, wind etc), CAN be overunity, or COP > 1.

Finally! A perpetual motion machine! They've beat Dr. Greer to the punch!
They are NOT claiming that this is a "perpetual motion machine"!

Rubbish......But this guy will claim that scientists are all in on a conspiracy to suppress this discovery because Big Oil doesn't want such a thing, yadda-yadda-yadda...........If this Law turned out to be incorrect, it would make Einstein's revolution in physics look tame by comparison. There wouldn't be one branch of science that didn't need to be rewritten, if this were true. It would be the discovery of the millennium, the most important scientific discovery in the world. And it all started on the Internet, right?
I have to agree with you. I would also go one further and guess that Al Gore invented it, at about the same time he discovered the Internet.
