A bit more complicated, but basically what it is.

This sort of stuff amazes me.

Very interesting. However I can't help but feel that this will go the same way as the batteries that could keep a phone turned on for three weeks on a single charge...

It's fairly simple, will undoubtedly use the equivalent of 20 litres of fuel to create 5.

Would be interesting to see if this makes it into full scale production.

I've seen something about this before, but it was a guy who built something in his back garden. I'm sure it was a youtube video. I'll try to find it...

Was speaking to someone a few days back who was saying that systems like this could be the future. Use solar energy to create liquid fuels which work in existing petrol/diesel engines. Can create alcohol fuels from 'nothing' too.

He did say that government want the ext fuel to be a gas rather than a liquid, no idea why but that's apparently the emphasis on hydrogen.

I did some research on this when in Uni, its 100% true. IIRC though it doesn't contain the same energy as petrol though

There's no reason for it not to be 100% true?
