Antior noted the following on the Dutch mailing list in a discussion about the same topic:<div><br></div><div>The device can produce Hydrogen (h2) ánd Carbon mono oxide (CO). These 2 can be combined in a chemical plant to produce 'synthdiesel', which results in greenhouse-neutral fossil fuels. The only thing which is required, is to build these 'farms' and the chemical plants. Cars most likely don't need to be changed (maybe only some minor modifications). This will save a lot of money. An added plus is, that this 'synthdiesel' doesn't contain any toxic materials like Sulphur and Lead, which will also reduce pollution and health risks. It only outputs (H2O) water and carbondioxide (CO2). These 2 will be transported by nature back to the plant, which can process it again into fuel through sunlight and chemistry. This could also be a very interesting technique (thanks Antior for pointing this out!).<br>

remember well in Mercedes the solution they used was injecting
a neutral gas, nitrogen I think, into the tank to ensure it

what he saw so I might have missed other technical details.</div>

<div class="gmail_quote">Another nice thing of Hydrogen is when
it is mixed with Oxygen so it can produce energy(explosion) it
produces H2O...thats simply WATER. It might Rain a liitle bit
more if it used fot that purpose...but it will quickly be
returned to nature to compense the use of water to produce it.</div>
