This is a reply from Frank Grimer, whose mail is getting bounced
from Vo again, so he has sent it to me to post ...
hmm... our Petrocracy at work, or theirs ?
[when you thing about the tax revenue on Petrol in the UK,
vis-a-vis other revenue, the "Ministers" there probably fear
waterfuel-boosting to be more of a threat for their cash-flow than
big oil does here, knowing how lazy most Americans are]
Anyway, re:
The problem with that understanding of the situation, in the
context of waterfuel - is that there seems to be an large
increase in gas released from subsequent electrolysis of treated
water - whereas one would suspect that such a phase change would
instead make water-splitting more difficult - instead of
easier...
I don't see it that way. I see it as increase in strain energies
which brings the phases closer to their failure stresses. The
important point is that the gas release is different from the
control thus showing that a structural change has taken place.

Well that is encouraging...JB
