Stanley Meyer and The Water Car Hoax

[sparks]

   Have you guys studied  hydrogen fuel cell technology.  It seems they use platinum to ionize hydrogen gas.  Then a barrier that only allows the hydrogen ions to pass through toward the electronegative oxygen on the other side of the barrier.
Meanwhile the electrons are made to pass through the load circuit to drive the motor to rejoin with the hydrogen ions.  Now this is where it gets kinda fuzzy.  They detonate the hydrogen oxygen to get water to go out the tail pipe.  Why don't they just recycle the hydrogen gas back to the catalyzing side of the cell?  Use the electronegative charge of the oxygen behind a second barrier and shuttle the hydrogen back through a small compressor.  My guess is that the platinum needs to be heated.  If that is the case maybe they need a better catalyst like an xray or uv lazer.
