Posted on entry An engine that runs on water? ::: June 13, 2008, 11:37 AM:
It's tough to see how this is possible given conservation of energy. Hydrogen and oxygen separately have more energy than water, so you need to put in energy somehow to separate them, and you're not going to get more energy that you put in by recombining them back into water.

Ebert already was there due to this review or North. It's tough to pick a favorite line, but I've always been fond of

I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it.

The joke's unfortunately highly dependent on knowing what's been going on in high energy physics, but this paper is an April Fool's joke.
