Better have a fat wallet, but who knows maybe the technology will be improved upon and then some day we will all be burning water.

I know of a guy here that powers his whole house with this technology,but it seems there is a risk of explosion so he has to remain secret so the government does'nt shut him down.

Guess I'll not be using one with my solar electric.
"The Aqueon operates at about 240 volts, and it is recommended that a 60-amp circuit be used, although the system typically uses about 50 amps. The 60-in. high, 28-in. wide system uses approximately 9.2 kilowatts an hour to operate, and once the unit is fully operational, it produces a heat output of about 31,000. BTUs."

That comes out to just under $2 per hour to heat things up? How can using electricity (usually made from burning fossil fuels) to make heat be considered "green"?
It is an interesting bit of science, although I don't know if this is the best use of this technology.
