if every car ( i mean ever car) burned hydrogen as a fuel source, and the only thing that came out your tail pipe was water vapor, wouldnt that mean that it would always rain? thats a lot of vapor in the air. it would always be humid. No?

It would be very little water that goes back into the atmosphere. There's a boatload of energy in a cup of water, the hard thing is splitting the water molecule.

+1 - its the ratio of produced:used thats important.

this doen't really make sense with conservation of energy laws. If the RF waves are the only added energy to the system, and if you start and end with H2O the heat generated HAS to be less than or equal than the energy input through the RF waves. Why do people keep thinking you can create energy without consuming anything?
