One of my friends gets into this sort of thing at the drop of a hat....he will spend days of work and
$1000.00+ just to get out of paying a once a year $70.00 rental fee(not kidding at all)....in other words he is damned near a nut.

His hydrogen separation contraption will produce enough gas to make a fairly loud fartish pop when a spark is applied, clearly it needs more work. Just at a glance, my guess is that he is not applying enough electricity.

The guy on the video seems to be melting the metal as opposed to cutting it. I use a cutting torch now and then and as inept as I am at it, my results are easily better than what seemed to be the case on the video.

Do you believe this?

Nope - fraud.

en.wikipedia.org

In 1996, inventor Stanley Meyer was sued by investors to whom he had sold dealerships, offering the right to do business in Water Fuel Cell technology. According to The Times, Meyer claimed in court that his invention "opened the way for a car which would 'run on water', powered simply by a car battery."[1] The car would even run perpetually without fuel since the energy needed to continue the "fracturing" was low enough for the engine's dynamo to recharge the car's battery.[1] His car was due to be examined by the expert witness Michael Laughton, Professor of Electrical Engineering at Queen Mary, University of London and Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering. However, Meyer made what Professor Laughton considered a "lame excuse" on the days of examination and did not allow the test to proceed.[1] The Water Fuel Cell, on the other hand, was examined by three expert witnesses in court who found that there "was nothing revolutionary about the cell at all and that it was simply using conventional electrolysis".[1]

On the basis of the evidence the court found Meyer guilty of "gross and egregious fraud" and ordered to repay the investors their $25,000.[1]

Death
Stanley Meyer died at the age of 57 after eating at a restaurant on 21 March 1998. An autopsy report by Franklin County coroner William R. Adrion concluded that Meyer, who suffered from high blood pressure, had died of a cerebral aneurysm. [5] Conspiracy theories persist, however, that he was poisoned, and that oil companies and the United States government were involved in his death.[6][7]. It is argued that this was done to supress the technology, in spite of the fact complete plans remain available online[8]. To date, no one has used them to produce a working prototype.
