I'm trying to watch it, but it's tough slogging. In the first 7+ minutes, all I've seen is unsupported claims, anecdotes, and "what ifs". Anecdotes about some guy who supposedly did something are worth exactly nothing. Adding water to the combustion chamber and preventing pre-ignition will not magically increase fuel efficiency as claimed. People have been doing the same thing using water injection systems for decades; increased power results, but at the cost of increased fuel usage. Basically everything they say about adding water vapour is true, EXCEPT for increasing fuel economy. There's no basis for that claim. The fact that these guys are talking about a technology that is currently in use, and has been in use for decades, as if it's some kind of big, long lost secret really speaks to their credibility.
