Not sure if this guy is punking the internet...I don't see a place for the hydrogen to be stored, nor a steady state to be delivered based on throttle demand, but if legit, he had better hide from OPEC! Seems like a more viable option than raping the planet for electric vehicles...which is a technology that's made to fail. The only place electric belongs is garden tools and scooters IMO:

Converting water to hydrogen requires dumptruck loads of power. Completely fake video just like every other video proving perpetual motion works.
EDIT:
The linked truck video converts hydrogen to water through a fuel cell which is proven to work but spoiler alert, making the hydrogen took dumptruck loads of power. Giant efficiency loss from just running the truck on angry pixies. Hydrogen may have very specific use cases that make sense but it is primarily a field to attract charlatans and stupid investments (especially from politicians).
Maybe hydrogen will be practical and economical (in the future) for autos and large commercial vehicles that can work from nearby re-fueling operations and bases.
But motorcycles in countries such as Canada, USA and UK are such small contributors to the GHG and CO2 problem at present that conversion to a hydrogen fuel would have VERY little effect on these issues. And while the GHG and CO2 amounts emitted from petroleum fuel motorcycles in India and Indonesia are very significant, I would doubt that conversion to H2 would be a practical option.

Its like a nuclear reaction. Start it with a flame, water starts to disassociate and release hydrogen and oxygen which power the flame, burn excess hydrogen and oxygen to propel bike, water out the tailpipe, when you shut it down store enough hydrogen and oxygen to light flame again. Done. Perpetual motion solved, just add water.
Watch the video where he builds the hydrogen generator... my head hurts.
... it seems this runs on water and a magic activator called HH+. The only place I can find magic activator HH+ is Amazon, doesn't seem to be any scientific literature.
HH+ is sodium hydroxide or lye: NaOH... a pretty good source of hydrogen, that reacts with water and that releases hydrogen
OH
Sorry Lisa, in this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics
There are 56 hydrogen filling stations in California and a handful in other states & provinces.
They are only viable because of gov. subsidies.
The first Hyrogen burning car was built in 1860.
I know a person who built a Hydrogen powered Honda 90 in the 70's
Said it ran great until the Hydrogen generator caught fire and burned all the hair off his legs.
Fuel Cells have been around since the 60's.
Don't hold your breath hoping Hyrogen will main stream any time soon.
Please buy an EV so my gas guzzlers will be cheaper to operate.
Less demand + high supply = lower pump prices.

The big advantage of hydrogen is that after being produced it can be stored and transported
It doesn’t need massive inputs of energy if the producer scavenges available power.
Install solar panels and windmills on and around your house. Put little turbines on your house downspouts. Add compressors and storage tanks.
By investing a mere two million dollars you could save a thousand dollars per year. The energy to build the complex is not included in the calculations but you save the planet
Comercialy available Hydrogen is not produced by cracking water but extracted fron natural gas.
Having water come out of your exhaust at minus 20 makes for interesting intersections.
If your exhaust is hot enough the water comes out as water vapour that then forms ice fog.
I have seen ice fog in Edmonton so thick you can't see the traffic lights unless you are directly below them.
Wet ice + ice fog makes for interesting driving.
Thanks to Global Warming winter temps are warmer and this happens less often.
Fuel sells producing electricity to run electric motors is probably the only solution.
Ballard Power was developing fuel sell buses because they could put the Hydrogen cells on the roof out of harms way.
Can you vision a Ford Pinto with hydrogen in the tank.
Population control = less cars, trucks,motorcycles & fa#ts = less pollution.
