"""Water contains 2.5x the energy of gasoline gallon for gallon"" is objectively false, unless you're tryting to say that water masses 2.5 x gasoline gallon for gallon, and you're referring to the mass-energy.  And I don't think we're saying that Stan designed a perpetual motion machine.  What we're saying is that if Stan's machine worked, it could be converted to a perpetual motion machine, absent the existance of ""denatured water"" (water with a lesser self-energy than standard water).  The difference seems minor to me.  —  |  (talk)
