0:00-1:30 look at all those buttons! he stole a tectronix o-scope from the local community college and made it his dashboard? when i was a kid, our next door neighbor had a buggy. American flag, "Jesus Christ is Lord" holy cow, OH plates too! I remember those plates.

2:15 look at the "computer system" look at all those signal capture or processing channels. one channel per slot more or less. that's what it looks like. what does he need all that signal capture for?

"laser distributor" & electronic signals back to computer system. i like how he spent time to put a label on it. scientific words! oh boy here we go!

what's the principle behind this? my guess: H2O electrolysis: H2O + electricity = H, O; then take the H & the O add spark = 💥

burn rate of hyrdogen; "going thru the burning process" wat? cooling off portion of exhaust gas; tube, regulator, hydrogen computer

4:00 okay whatever, he's using EGR for to slow down ignition presumably because doing so otherwise would damage the engine (this is a retrofit, so perhaps this is a concern) why's he spending so much time on something so trival. this is not the magic part.

oh boy… gas processor ionizing ambient air hydrogen fracturing yield? resonant cavity; water -> lots of V, limited current,

5:30 ok, it's H2O electrolysis. there is no magic here. it's basic chemistry. it's going to take a certain amount of electrical energy to break the two hydrogen bonds per H2O molecule. maybe he found a realitively efficient way to do this, but even if it's 100% efficient, all that means is 100% of the input is going towards breaking the H bonds. it still takes a certain amonut of energy to break the H bonds. let's call that input energy.

oh boy "voltage field", amplitude of the voltage field. do fields even have amplitudes? waves can have amplitudes. fields have what? flux?

6:00 fine he can pull more hydrogen gas, it still takes more input. i don't think he understands what ionization is.

"voltage intensified!"

"systems engineering"

voltage pulse, amp, ionization, fracturing

Ole Stanley is a genius. he mockumentry

laser accelerator

he built a generator on something.

11:00 gasoline releases energy from combustion of hydrocarbons w/ O2 in ambient air. not just hydrogen. the claim that all engines are hydrogen engines is not totally truthish. water is a powerful fuel. it's not really a fuel. it contains the material the fuel comes from - like a fuel cell. it's converted to combustable fuel by application of electricity. how much electrical power must be applied per mechinical power output? blah this business of 2.5x more yield, he's talking about per unit yields. i don't see how that has a significant effect on efficiency. he's trying to mislead his viewers. some fuels have bigger

great he breaks it down:

  1. produce hydrogen economically 2a. regulate its production to match fuel demands from idle to full-throttle 2b. regulate its combustion such that from the engine's point of view it burns like gasoline
  2. be able to transport w/o spark ignition <-- wat? i missed what's he's taking about.

this dude doesn't understand chemistry.

system engineering, systems approach!

steam resonator (oh boy!) works by resticting intake? voltage. you take two water molecules which generate kinetic energy which in turns heats the water. okay, kinetic energy is movement. what caused the 2 H2O start moving? from electricity? fine. so he's using electricity to heat water. your coffee pot is likely more efficient that his contraption. BS. there are no free rides. see conservation of energy.

breaking it down: he's saying he's built a perpetual motion machine. that's not possible. if you don't understand why, you should read up on the history of perpetual motion machines and undertstand the 1 & 2nd law of thermodynamics. don't need to know all the math, once you know what they are you see it everyone in the world.

14:00 a nonsensical string of words from a guy who's not an engineer trying to sound very very hard like an engineer.

15:00 fear, fear, fear, sky is falling, planes are falling out of they sky, China

"we have very little fossil fuel left" i wish this were true. we knew this was not the case in the 90s. we know for sure its not the case now.

energy equiv: 2.5 million bbl oil ~= 1 gall. BS. this is a chemical process he's describing. in chemical processes, energy in/out comes from creating/breaking chemical bonds. there ain't that much energy in bonds. i don't know how much nuclear energy is contined in a gall of water, but it's many orders of magnitude more than chemical. we can't trust anything this dude says because either he's wrong. and when he's not wrong he's intending to mislead. and when he's not doing that it's because he's saying nonsensical statements.

dude's so not right he's not even wrong.

wut? jet commander 90 degrees north-south

17:30 ok, his heart is the right place.

18:00 oh boy. here we go, world headed towards destruction, he's our savior. our combination superman, batman, ironman is here to save us! he's spend 10 years off in his lab doing research!

oh boy, here we go. god, it's mathematically impossible humans are decended from swamp ? not a mathematical question, i'm pretty sure.

oh god, i love my country. revelation.

i got ticket to heaven. i'm a scientist. i need to spread the word.

ah - here's what he is. he's an evangelist possessed by Cargo Cult Science. he's put tons of time building a veneer of science; there's no depth.
