Now if you were to explain how some "final energy state" you might
have in mind makes this water burning device anything but a useless
hoax we might have something of substance to discuss.

It seems you have read something into my comments that I did not put
there.

Your comment on energy states was offered in the context of "true, but
one must also consider..." Where's the information that supports the
implications of that "but?"

Hydrogen as a combustable fuel is generally considered to have a net
loss from an energy budget standpoint. You had stated that 'you get
out what you put in'. I simply tried to observe that it isn't always
the case. In the case of hydrogen generation, you don't quite get
back what you put in, and in the case of gasoline you can get back
quite a bit more (owing to the fact that all you have to do is distill
it).
