The machine also traps water vapor, and uses electrolysis to break water down into hydrogen and oxygen instead of destroying your car's cooling system.

what the fuck does this even mean

    There is a lot of water (H2O) in the air too. This is bad for the car.

    The machine uses electricity to force the H2O molecule to break down into H2 and O2, common gases. This does not hurt the car.
