I don't have a physics degree. I don't know exactly how the circuit works.

What I have ascertained from watching the videos of people demonstrating 
the effect is that water can be exploded and the energy that is released 
can be used to turn a rotor on an engine.

If you haven't had time to get through the approximately 50 videos that 
are already on the blog here are some video links here that show the 
phenomenon in action:

This guy has also modified his camino which he claims to have driven 
30,000 miles on only water.
