quote:An interesting article about a man from New Brunswick, Canada, who apparently has come up with a novel way of producing hydrogen gas. And it says he did this without ever having taken highschool Chemistry.
(Think of what he could have come up with if he had taken Chemistry...jk :-) )

quote:With the help of chemist George Jenkins at the University of New Brunswick, Andersen got the U.S. patent and the attention of auto makers developing hydrogen-fuelled cars

I found the patents:

United States Patent 6,506,360 Method for producing hydrogen
and
United States Patent 6,638,493 Method for producing hydrogen

So it seems to be real.
