[ you really can’t extract any more energy from water than you add to it. It’s the law. ]

Unless the two gasses are separated easily.. and you burn them..

No, there is no unless.

Catalysts only reduce the amount of excess energy wasted in the conversion. You still need to put in all the energy that you want to extract as combustion heat, and then some. Repeating the contrary position again will not make it any more valid.

Following the links in the article which you posted, but do not understand:

Catalysis
Activation energy

"There are none so blind as those who will not see."

These principles have been rigorously proven and re-proven over hundreds of years. The onus is on those who hold that there are exceptions, to prove them.

One wonder if you even read (and understand the implications) of the article..

Well since you won’t, or can’t, make or defend a point, that’s a pretty empty one-liner.
