Ummm.. no. Obviously as you point out, there needs to be some sort of energy pumped into the system. Hydrogen combined with solar cells & good 'ol batteries (which would be charged) would make at least hybrid cars more feasible. All I was suggesting was additional inputs of energy into the system, not a design for a perpetual motion machine (which can't work anyway).
You can produce hydrogen without electrolysis. Just get some pool acid (muriatic acid), zinc nails, a beaker, and a balloon. Put the acid and nails into the beaker, put the balloon on top of the beaker, and WHAMO! The ballon inflates with the hydrogen it is collecting! Ultimately Hydrogen IS the future fuel, as a Wired magazine article discussed. Hydrogen is cool as a fuel because with it, it is possible to build a car that never needs refueling! Since both fuel cells and direct combustion of hydrogen produce water vapor as their exhaust, it would be easy enough to recollect the exhaust and feed it back into an electrolysis device that breaks the exhaust (water vapor) back into the fuel (hydrogen). The electrolysis device could be powered by batteries or possibly solar cells. Now, talk about a hybrid car! BTW, BMW isn't the only company looking at hydrogen... Ford's new museum next to the Henry Ford Museum (& Greenfield Village) in Deerborn, Michigan, has a display that says Ford is investing in fuel cell technology. It's only a matter of time before we have hydrogen cars, especially if they are made to never need refueling. And safety concerns are moot, as the article points out, since hydrogen is just as combustible as gasoline.. Hell, a hydrogen powered car could be much safer because in an accident, all the hydrogen fuel that seeps out of the car will float away.
Protozilla is NOT a new idea. Just look at how w3m gets things done! w3m uses a local CGI to do bookmarks and other things. This setup is nice because the browser executable is very small, and all the peripheral functionality is implemented in separate executables.

Is it just me, or does the logo for PLD look like a penis?
I thought from the headline that this article would profile porno web developers...
