Entropy invites the idea that changing H2O to HHO (Brown's gas) should
be child's play. After all, HHO is just a simpler form of water. ;-)


Where did this imbicilic (sp?) thread come from anyway .... a troll?

2H2O + energy -> 2H2 + O2

In short, two water molecules, with the addition of energy to break the bonds
will form two molecules of hydrogen gas and one molecule of oxygen gas.

A small amount of energy to server as a ignition source is all it takes to
begin the reaction to get this reaction to move in reverse and reform water
and release energy. That is the principal behind using hydrogen and oxygen as
a fuel source [the simplest means of creation is via the hydrolysis of water
as I just documented. The process of hydrolysis is not 100% efficient though
as energy is lost during the process in the form of heat. That heat loss is
the reason you can't create a "perpetual motion" machine. As just mentioned,
entropy ensures that the heat can never be converted 100% back to work,
because if it could, entropy in the universe would decrease and the universe
would become more organized and the 3rd law of thermodynammic explicitly
indicates that the reverse is true (the universe is destined for relatively
homogenous chaos).
