"The reactor is designed to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. It's aided by the doped ceria catalyst and this releases some amount of oxygen. When exposed to steam, the oxide absorbs oxygen from water, and leaves hydrogen behind for the taking."
This description rather reminds me of the guy who claimed he had invented a way to run a car on water by splitting the hydrogen and oxygen:
Stanley Meyer was the inventor who claimed to have developed a car that could run on water by splitting hydrogen and oxygen. He introduced the concept of a "water fuel cell," which he said could split water into hydrogen and oxygen using an electrical current, and then burn the hydrogen to produce energy.
Meyer's claims were controversial, as many scientists and experts considered the technology to be pseudoscientific and impossible based on the laws of thermodynamics.
Despite this, he gained attention for his invention, and his car was even showcased in some demonstrations. However, his claims were later found to be fraudulent, and he was sued by investors who had purchased dealership rights for his technology.
Meyer died on March 20, 1998, under mysterious circumstances, with his brother claiming he had screamed "they poisoned me" before his death.
Is that the guy who used aluminum to grab the o2 off h2o and liberate hydrogen?
I always thought that made sense and want to play around with it someday. There's nothing that breaks physical laws - its just energy storage, transfer and release.

That has been the general argument against, but who's to say there isn't some clever way around it, perhaps quantum-wise?
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
You keep sticking with that b.s.
The patent for this car didn't die with him but the circuit diagrams for its electronics did. They were said to boost the power output considerably.
And then there was Viktor Schauberger.
The water wizard knew it all

I'm not sure, fren.
