Pokemon 2000 in the Japanese dub has a small section explaining this when Zapdos, Articuno, and Moltres attack the flying fortress the bad guy has when Tracy explains why them all attacking at the same time worked to destroy some stuff (Zapdos's electric attack did electrolysis to the water of Articuno's ice beam and then Moltres' fire attack exploded it) and it got cut from the English dub for some reason. Possibly because they were worried kids might try to do it at home?

There is a Russian guy making an iron man suit using mostly this same tech. He also runs a motorcycle off it sometimes. It is crazy to think of the potential of water as a fuel source

[–] Feed_el_Castro@hexbear.net 2 points 5 days ago

Not so much a fuel source as an energy vector. You don't extract energy from water, you just use external energy to electrolyze it, obtain H2 gas and return it to water upon combustion.

Had a guy at an old job that experimented with the stuff out in the, definitely not OSHA safe, warehouse. Cool stuff, always been kind of suspicious of the mythbuster/tested folks after they couldn't achieve the same sort of results I'd seen folks do in real life.

He looks like the non-evil Ted Cruz

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He seems like a pretty decent guy, so maybe he is the alternate dimension version of him stranded here in the evil world.

IIRC the original channel owner passed away not long ago, two people picked up the torch.

Used to watch his videos back in like 2009

EDIT: that's the king of random my bad they made similar content

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I think that might be a different channel. Here's the current guy in a vid 16 years ago.

This guy has been sick recently tho.

You're right im A LIAR.

Was thinking of The King of Random who made similar vidya
