hell, ill throw one in. gas prices suxors. although i believe i saw something like this on mythbusters, being busted. then again, i dont think they tried it as a supplement to fuel, but as a sole source of fuel itself. if this thing really makes more ponies and saves at the pump, why not?

Once upon a time, long long ago, these crazy people heated water up and used it to power things. In fact I think there are still some crazy people who do this still.

Steam power can replace the 'D' batteries in your mother's marital device.

Actually, the link refers to the decomposition of water into its Hydrogen and Oxygen components by passing an electric current through it. Hardly the same as heating water to make steam. Some of you may remember this from 6th grade science class. Some of you may cover this next year.

I'm not sure either, but I do know it has something to do with urinating on a cat.

yea, we were all referring to the fact that the topic makes it seem like no ones ever made power from water, when we know steam was quite popular.
