I haven't read it yet, so I'm not sure if it confirms or denies my skeptical take on most alternate energy sources, but Popular Mechanics has a new article that chrunches the numbers. Seems like the right place to start.

Practical Thermonuclear Alternative?

Abundant Protons are easily extracted from ordinary pure water at low amperage with an ordinary flashlight battery. When "slowly burned" by controlled fusion, these protons produce 99% more total heat energy than the identical quantity of protons "wastefully exploded" by a thermonuclear weapons device. Imagine heating your house or fueling your automobile for a lifetime with a single teacup of cheap, cheap, cheap Protons!

Quack energy spam! All right!

  • Can you specifically identify the quackery (line by line, item by item)?

Uh oh, a spammer has hurt feelings.

I've seen some bad patents, and some bad patent applications, but this is neither a patent nor an application. Quack, quack.

-- Abundant Protons are easily extracted from ordinary pure water at low amperage with an ordinary flashlight battery.

You mean hydrogen, right?

-- When "slowly burned" by controlled fusion ...

Um, yeah. Good luck with that. Is the teacup for containing the super-heated plasma?

-- any person skilled in the art can demonstrate this slow-motion, high-yield fusion energy from readily available parts and materials ... universally available for less than five dollars.

Well?
