This is clearly a hoax, they are essentially claiming to have built a perpetual motion machine. It `breaks down' water, supposedly to hydrogen and uses that to power some sort of fuel cell. Which is guaranteed to produce less energy than was used to `break down' the water. I'm dumbfounded that Reuters would let this through.
