iamomAccording to the Fox News report embedded below, this guy has recently patented a new method of electrolysis (or was it hydrolysis?) which converts H20 into HHO for cutting metals (as opposed to using acetylene) and for running a gas/water-powered hybrid car engine.
I believe that we're already facing some serious water shortages around the world, so I don't expect that this would be a panacea for global warming if it were actually viable. We still need quite desperately to reduce consumption, I think. But this is still a pretty interesting technology.
EDIT: The Wikipedia article on this invention mentions that his claims were found to be fradulent by an Ohio court in 1996. Perhaps I should have considered the source of this news piece -- Fox News -- before quoting here? :)
