Sometime about 2000 or 2001 A couple of guys were leasing a small area in my shop experimenting with making one of the gas generators.
I machined the parts for it for them when they had it functioning they had a few problems #1 was the amount of electrical energy required to keep it functioning I think they were trying to come up with a way to circumvent the patents but I don't know as I largely stayed out of their way as long as they didn't blow the place up or themselves things were cool. They did manage to make the gas cut steel if you could call it that more like just melted it apart and they managed to get a small lawnmower engine to run on the stuff for a short period of time. Actually it ran pretty good just by holding the torch nozzle to the intake But I could do that with act or propane so I was not impressed at the time. I don't think they ever got their little fuel injected 4 cylinder engine to run on it because they couldn't get anyone to understand how to modify the injectors to a light enough opening pressure, before Jimmy decided to go off on his own leaving Christopher holding the bag.
I think if the idea of transforming petrol engines to run on this stuff with proper research and governments staying the heck out of the way until the systems were perfected it would make the current EV craze take a step back again.
Remember electric vehicles at one time in the early 1900s were growing in popularity for city delivery usage then Diesel became a much more viable source of power.
Now electrics have made a resurgence with a vengeance 100 years later. Why couldn't water fuel do the same thing that Diesel did almost 80 years ago
