Guess you never watched the video presentations or looked at the schematics.

I just looked at the video. He used a laser to perform some function.
I'm sure. If it doesn't have lots of flashy lights and gadgetry, you might notice that the thing's not actually doing what he claims.
I imagine Tesla, fields, vibrations, resonance, ZPE, dark matter and quantum something-or-other were involved too.

if the by product is CO2 isnt that a bad thing??
This is not necessarily an ecological solution either, because (the way I see it) while they may be taking CO2 out of the environment to create this fuel, they will simply put that CO2 back in when the fuel is eventually burned.

My main concern is that this technology will not reach the public.

I understand the energy to return ratio...unless one is talking nuclear...steam to DC electricity conversion to electrolysis which seems like a far reach when you already have the steam to turbine for propulsion...
I'd have to agree that there must be some (new) cheap energy potential use that the Navy is preparing to unveil. Because frankly, I cant see them stripping (H) from H2O...without...the use of electrolysis.

Hydrogen is produced by standard electrolysis of water using electrodes, thermolysis of water (for example using waste heat from nuclear reactors), thermochemical processes, and any combination of the above methods. Energy for the hydrogen production can be provided by nuclear reactor electricity; nuclear reactor waste heat conversion; a thermochemical process; ocean thermal energy conversion to electricity; any other source of fossil fuel free electricity such as ocean waves, wind, tides or currents; or any combination of the above methods.
There are several well-established processes for direct hydrogenation of gases such as CO or CO2 to produce hydrocarbon fuels. One of the most successful was developed in Germany in the 1920s by Franz Fischer and Hans Tropsch. In 1938, early German plants produced 591,000 metric tons per year, approximately 5×106 barrels per year or approximately 2×108 gallons/year, of oil and gasoline using the Fischer-Tropsch process, which reacts carbon monoxide and hydrogen with a catalyst to produce liquid hydrocarbons and water. The problem with these methods is that they use fossil fuels to produce the CO, CO2, and H2 used.

What happens when they discover that distilled water works best for the process?
Drinking water shortage? Inflation?

It's not practical for the public as it takes far more energy to create than you get back. The navy have different requirements than mere efficiency.

Wasn't not called HH2O...?
Something the public shouldn't be allowed to produce?

This is old! Buddy of mine designed the best system. It runs off less than 1 amp. The way it works is think about feedback from a guitar. Make the fuel cell resonate at the correct tuning (frequency) per sa. That's the only hint I can give. Abundant hydrogen. To many folks have died! Thanks Rothschild Rockefeller evil devils!
