MENLO PARK, Calif., July 22, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ — American company, Menlo Park based technology firm Solar Hydrogen Trends, Inc. (www.SolarHydrogenTrends.com) today announced that it has conducted a final series of control tests on hydrogen reactor Symphony 7A.

A follow-up series of tests was required due to the fact that the two previous series of tests had shown such incredible production of hydrogen in reactor Symphony 7A, that even most reputable scientific firms were hard-pressed to accept and/or verify the test results.
New test results carried out by TRC Solutions are even more staggering: the previous performance results of 79,000 liters per hour increased to 127 cfm or 215,800 liters per hour and the content of hydrogen in the gas mixture increased from 93.1% to 97.5%. Oxygen content in the gas mixture on the exit of Symphony 7A was twice lowered to 1.34%, indicating that the process of transmutation of oxygen into hydrogen in the last test was more active.
With this performance the hydrogen reactor can convert 1 barrel of water into 200 kg of hydrogen, which is energetically equivalent to 3 barrels of oil.
However, the most impressive result of this experiment was that the external energy needed to make these 208,678 liters of pure hydrogen fell by 20%; it averaged at 414 watt hour = 4.6 volts x 90 amps.
To repeat: In these tests, 1 barrel of water = 3 barrels of oil.
At the moment this is an absolute record for energy costs with “cold fusion” Low Energy Nuclear Reaction (LENR). It outpaces all research centers, laboratories and universities involved in the hydrogen problem of (LENR) for 20-30 years.
The ratio of spent and obtained energy in hydrogen reactor Symphony 7A in percentage is 134,477%. Today, hydrogen reactor Symphony 7A with the size of standard suitcase can produce enough hydrogen in one day equivalent to 6.5 barrels of oil, at the mere cost of $1.68 per hour to operate.
Observers should imagine two economic possibilities:
1. Barrel of oil actually would cost $5.07. (When the market price on commodities exchange trades at $100 to $110).
2. With 50,000 Symphony 7D Hydrogen Reactors (units), such a quantity would provide 30% more hydrogen equivalent than the largest oil producer, Saudi Arabia, in one year.
Solar Hydrogen Trends believes that the most expedient next step would be if the United States takes the lead as global supplier of this technology, creating a consortium of willing countries, including oil and gas producing nations, which would then all become the co-owners of this groundbreaking technology developed by American company Solar Hydrogen Trends. Since the technology is developed and owned within/by the United States, all future sales and transactions of hydrogen will be made in US dollars (Hydrodollar) jointly with petrodollar.
In this scenario, the country members of the consortium could within 20-25 years accomplish the gradual replacement of fossil fuels with hydrogen. Over the years they could diversify their economies and avoid economic dependence and/or collapse. We believe that the hydrogen era is here to stay, cannot be stopped or slowed, and should not be considered as revolutionary but rather an evolutionary worldwide progression.
The United States is the first to enter into the hydrogen era – the new evidence of American exceptionalism – and this grand step forward is precisely what makes us exceptional as a people and a country.

I didn’t see where they claimed to have perfected cold fusion. What I read indicated that they had figured out how to use solar energy to break the H2O covalent bonds which seems reasonable.
Next up...transmuting lead to gold.....
Scam alert.
It seems like biofuel is inadequate to meet the ever growing energy demands of our planet. The hydrogen locked up in water has always seemed like the logical energy source for the future. IMHO.

In retrospect, it looks like they were talking about someone else; the text isn't all that clear.
Back to the original issue: The Second Law of Thermodynamics says that you will always get less energy from burning hydrogen than it took to separate it from water; in effect, hydrogen becomes a battery. If these people have a way to use solar energy to economically power hydrogen separation, they'd probably be better of just selling the solar power. Sorry, but this whole thing reeks of scam.
Solar energy, or electrical energy is what you would use for a standard process of breaking the bonds, but they are claiming transmutation and their numbers are freaking off the chart in terms of production from a given amount of water.
When questioned about that they just lean on the transmutation and the LENR process.
That’s the problem..
If it’s true, and that is one huge IF. The process, no matter how it transmutes would be huge...
But that’s again the problem.
IMHO
It takes at least as much energy to break water down into hydrogen and oxygen as is released when hydrogen and oxygen are recombined back into water (burned).
If it didn’t it would be perpetual motion.
It is as simple as that.
Everything I needed to know, right there.
No sale.
Put cheap H2 up for sale, I might buy it. I prefer it mixed with a little C. And maybe some O.
But this is more Russian BS.

Fossil fuels is the answer. Dead ancient foliage.
Nothing beats 'em. Ever. On price point or ease of use.

On their website they say....
‘On input of 500 watts the mini reactor produces a output of 2,797 cu feet of hydrogen per hour. (electricity equivalent of 221.5 KWH at a cost of about $1.80)”
The planet is still making the stuff..
Oh... wait..
I do have some Tom Swift books, printed on acid paper, that I'm trying to conserve. They belonged to my dad when he was a kid. I read them. Now I'm trying to keep them from rotting away.

LOL.....
Naw....not poop....plankton...
Those would be hydrogen bonds. Using solar energy for splitting of water is not a new idea.
What is new here, however, is the idea of transmuting oxygen into hydrogen. Normally hydrogen is far more apt to go in the other direction, just as we saw it in explosions of hydrogen bombs. You'd need to apply some comparable energy to put the toothpaste back into the tube :-) Our Sun happily survives on simply fusing hydrogen into helium. Imagine the cost of splitting O into many H's :-) Humans can do some of such things, but only to individual atoms, and only on huge particle accelerators.
Not perpetual motion. The claim is it produces energy by breaking oxygen atoms into hydrogen atoms. They don’t claim that they can rebuild the oxygen atoms from the hydrogen without putting in at least as much energy.
If it works, it’s no more an instance of perpetual motion than is fission of uranium or plutonium.
The proof of this pudding will be in the eating — or in the reliable production of cheap energy. If their claims are true, then it’s way better than Rossi’s E-Cat (if his claims are true).
This is a form of LENR, different from any described before. If the kind of LENR that Andrea Rossi and others have been talking about works, there’s no reason to believe Rossi’s is the only or the best kind of LENR. We’ll have to see.
Rossi says that his E-Cat is undergoing rigorous third-party testing right now.
