Message: Energy from water, Is the impossible possible?

As has been stated again and again on this forum the last days, this whole EBH2 system seems to good to be true and more importantly it seems to be denying the first law of thermodynamics: the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.

Or as PhantomSr wrote:

What I'm still not understanding is how they are splitting the hydrogen with a net positive energy output. This isn't physically possible without some sort of external energy input. 

Electrolysis of water: 2 H2O + energy > 2 H2 + O2

Burning of hydrogen: 2 H2 + O2 > 2 H2O + energy.

The only logical explanation I can come up with is that water (most of the time) isn't pure H20. Some water for instance contains a small portion of H30 (hydroxonium). Seawater of course also contains a lot of salts.

So if the water going into the EBH2 isn't exactly the same water as is coming out,... the first law of thermodynamics wouldn't be denied and it could actually be possible...

but to be honest, I still remain skeptical.

Maybe they tricked Bernard, maybe EBH2 has a lunatic scientist making false claims very convincingly...

Bernard isn't a scientist, but luckily he has a M.B.A in finance and still knows how to make a deal. If the proces isn't working HPQ loses nothing. Of coarse it would be a bit of an embarrassment, but what the heck. Get back up, and continue with the very promising silicon business. 

If it really turned out to work... it would mean the world energy problems are over and they can stop the ITER tokamak nuclear fusion project... and I can stop working and go sailing every day if I wanted to.
