That’s pretty efficient, even if it is mostly theoretical. I still await real world results.

My only question is how efficient is this process? i noticed his link didn’t say how much energy it takes to run his machine; 1.2 gallons of oil may be produced, but it may take the equivalent of 3 gallons of oil to even turn the machine on!
