Whet do you think about this?

He is not claiming to use zero gas, it is just an additive through the air intake.
Biggest thing I have read is that the doubters say is you can't get more energy out of something than what you put in.
They are equating it to "water has zero energy" so the most energy you can get out of the water is the amount of electricity you use to separate it.
It seems like there are variables not being accounted for in this idea. (Chemistry is a weak topic for me)
I would argue that water has potential energy, not zero energy.
In the car example, you use the battery to separate the water. So that is the energy loss. But for the energy to be used in the engine, Hydrogen isn't the only part of the equation, there is the ignition and compression factor adding a stimulant/catalyst to the reaction so the real question is:
Is the energy loss from separation more or less that the explosive reaction where other "energies" are added as a catalyst?
So you have electrolysis (energy in) compared to compression, spark, H2 and gas to produce water, and exhaust (energy out).
There is also stability - H2O is more stable than H2 + fire.
