Probably from people who've never done
'real' electroncs. You know,
the sort that belive that the only thing you need to design and test
electronic circuits is a CAD workstation.
I lump them with the sort that believes that because of some
mysterious exception to the laws of thermodynamics, they can take a mason jar full of water and some electrodes, hook it
to their auto's
battery and get a 200% improvement in fuel economy by burning the
electrolysis products.
Now that's one I've not heard of...
I have seen a jeweller's soldering torch that works by electrolysing
water (using power from the mains) and then brunign the resulting H_2 and
O_2 to probvide the soldering flame, but that violates no laws. The
energy uoi get from the flame comes from the mains electricity supply.
They're still out there and just as evangelical about it, but lately
the Rossi eCAT LENR snake oil has attracted many of the faithful.
Oh well... A fool and his money are soon parted.
