A car that runs on water? BULLSHIT, breaking and reforming the same bonds will not net energy. Can you design a car to run on hydrogen and oxygen, sure (e.g. fuel cells), can you design a car that will produce H2 and O2 from water (consuming energy) and then run off that H2 and O2 with enough excess energy to overcome the demands of the electrolysis? Absolutely not.
I never seen the car side of it but i did see this puppy(torch) work in action even used it....no way it would cut inch thick steel but it does cut like a sob on most things


I did did not have the balls to grab the tip
