Heat water....and it boils it and turns it into a gas...capture the gas and you have clean water again...

 

Apply electricty to water and it breaks down the bond?  you seperate hydrogen and oxygen...you can then use the hydrogen as fuel?

You can't get more energy out of the bonds than you put in. The more changes in state that energy undergoes the more you lose.

Oil --> heat --> steam turbines --> electricity --> electronics
vs

Energy source (wind, solar) --> convert to electricity --> hydrolyze water --> dehydrolyze water --> heat --> steam turbines --> electricity --> electronics

Many more stages.

I'm not saying you'll get more energy out than you put in....

all I'm saying is, God made it pretty straight forward to break down water ...

heat to clean water....

electric current to unbind water....

are you familiar with the anthropic principle?

Where there is no property there is no justice; a proposition as certain as any demonstration in Euclid

Fools! not to see that what they madly desire would be a calamity to them as no hands but their own could bring

Btw, there are reports of people using hydrogen fuel cells in regular cars and getting better mileage.  They are using the wasted current generated by the alternator.

the quote button doesn't seem to work anymore...

anyway.,....this was my main point....most people don't even know that electricity seperates the hydrogen from the oxygen...
