Chet, it never fails to amaze me by just how easily impressed and excited you get by some obscure video that in reality is meaningless. It's like someone showing a video of monkey using a typewriter and saying that it is writing a novel... and you believing it. Get a grip, Chet!
Clearly those guys have an ICE ticking over assumably from the gases produced by electrolysers. Fast Freddy had a similar demonstration - it's no big deal. This is an engine just ticking over, with no load.
Unless you are there in person to see exactly what is occurring, how and when and for how long - and know exactly what it is you are looking at - these guys could be up to anything, including being deceitful. Fast Freddy had his engine ticking over (unloaded) for all of around 30 seconds before it ran out of steam and stalled, and people were impressed
. Did you notice the big tractor battery in the video? I wonder how many more of them there were knocking about? A high ampere/hour battery will be able to run an ICE on the gases from and electrolyser for a given time before it runs out of energy.
These videos are meaningless because they are never backed up with any relevant or detailed information or any figures to corroborate what they claim. And lets face it, some of the videos you get excited about are mind-bogglingly pathetic to the extreme.
Core might think that MH and myself are armchair clowns, or knuckleheads, or whatever, but as MH says, there are many experiments that you don't need to do, to know what the outcome will be or indeed conclude how and why something is happening. The application of science and the knowledge passed down by generations of clever scientists sprinkled with a little commonsense is all that is required - and is clearly everything that is lacking from Core's interpretation of things.
Experimentation is all well and good, but if you don't have at least the basic knowledge to interpret what you are seeing, then what is the point? This is exactly why so many people come up with so many bizarre notions and outrageous claims - they simply have not got a clue about the science behind what they are doing or what they are witnessing happening. It's magic!
On a lighter note, why are you struggling to get hold of a beer can? Why do I get the feeling that this will be another project of yours that fails to materialise?
If all else fails, do what Core does, and use your bell-end!
