That's exactly my point. You don't have H2 there, you already have H2O, the énd/wáste product of that reaction. What would the reaction be that gives energy from burning H2O? How do you even burn H2O?
IF what they're doing is seperating the 2 H2 from the O2 and then burning it... it's going in a circle, you'd turn it into 2 H2O again. Law of conservation of energy.
If they have another reaction, I can't imagine what it would be, not with my 5 years of chemistry classes.
