burning sea water with radio waves

[RzmmDX]

Well, let's hope that the power efficiency from solar panels would improve so we can use it to power the generator.

[MrBlackelk05]

does anyone know what freq he used to do this. and how much power 120/220?? Maybe you could heat a home with this Idea. using boiler heating system in house.

[oasiac]

yes but what about the energy used to produce the radio waves?

[WLKCONSULTING]

Sad this guy died of Pneumonia in Feb of 2009...Hope his research and ideas continue

[senamoot]

mentioned in the Quran:

And when the seas are set on fire

وإذا البحار سجرت

sura altakweerسورة التكوير

verse6

and in suratu infitarالإنفطار

وإذا البحار فجرت

(and when the oceans are made to burst-this can mean burst into flames,or burst forth-)

[JenMichel100]

@senamoot

hey barbaric muslim,,,,,, get out of here! dont use ur fucking lies to convert us,,,,,, only the fool can be converted to ur ignorant religion.....

[oscarian]

The cure for cancer is Hash Oil.  Youtube search "Run From The Cure" (full version).

[epicpeluri]

canseled i quess :/ dont know if that water gets evaporated or does disapear completely, i dont want to burn up seas for electricity.

[nameman1]

next they use this for war and burn ships down :D

[1122bogiewogieavenue]

umm i have one question where is this now my grandma died last month of cancer

[crystalidx]

where is this technology NOW?

[PahinhWinh]

Very cool! But since we know there no free rides, and since the existing vehicle-power heirarchy is notoriously resistant to ideas - especially to new ideas - & since there is a huge infestation of NIH (Not Invented Here) in them, any further progress with this will have to come from the small private business sector. So, go for it!, out there!

[cass3477]

the cure for Cancer is DCA

[MrSmibby]

Imagine what pointing 1 billion watts of RF energy at the ocean would do....glad no one has that capability. Oh yes, the government does, it's called HAARP.

[erndawgten]

this is the kind of stuff the government keeps from us... only 30,000 views in 3-4 years i wonder why...

[BladeValant546]

Suppression in 3.....2.........1

[ricktbdgc]

yea thats a pretty heavy duty machine he has there to make a tiny flame. Bet it runs off 240v.

[tucsoniantransplant]

It's 3 almost 4 years later. Why have we seen nothing come out of this news? 

[HansenSmythe]

This is egregiously credulous reporting. Imagine someone saying "I've discovered an amazing new fuel source: car exhaust! All I do is (insert energy-intensive operation here to turn exhaust back into gasoline) then - voila! - you can run your car on the gasoline!"

This is the same sort of thing. The amount of electricity required to electrolyze water using radio waves is more than the energy you can get out of re-burning the hydrogen from the water.

[rt36crazyfists]

water isn't an element

[xplorelife24]

So if I remember correctly 6th grade BASIC science, to separate H and O you use electricity, wich also bond H and O by burning, if we use water for fuel and the waste product is water then what harm could that cause? Outside of a pissed government,

[turgore]

I think its a great idea but I bet you it will mess the natural balance big time.

[rt36crazyfists]

@turgore why?

[turgore]

@rt36crazyfists if it burns sea water i suspect the salt will dissapear and the salinity will change. So fish that live in sea water can't survive. I have no idea how this technology works in detail so I'm not sure.

[Prontest]

unless it breaks the laws of thermodynamics it uses more energy to generate the radio waves than you get from burning the salt water since its splitting the molecule and you get energy from the re binding of the molecule does not mean you cant use it for something

[aznlilhero]

we need more people like this in the world and not people like soulja boy

[DeathBringer9000]

any instructions on how to make one of these?

[TheHadesShade]

well we need the salt in the oceans, why you ask search for "National Geographic Big Freeze" to understand

[8DX]

OMG, a crazy American inventor buring water... And I thought Dexter's laborotory was a comic.

[MatrixParadise]

I bet you could make a bomb or create an explosion from this, or even find a salt lake and maybe even detonate it. Or something! Now, why would anyone want to do that!

[8DX]

@MatrixParadise I bet you couldn't. In fact I'd bet my life on it.

[pcxcity]

I need a machinist and someone to make a small type of radio wave tube so I can make a type of sparkplug for the gas engine..this will work if I use the same coil setup in the car..there will be more then enough voltage to make salt water work and will be clean..and won't freeze..anyone wants to take this on with me..

[8DX]

@pcxcity No.. you need to stop watching sensationalist TV shows.

[michalchik]

This is in no sense burning. Nothing is being oxidized, no more energy is being released than is being put in. He has simply made a microwave over ans is heating up the surface of the water until it vaporizes. Once in vapor form it absorbs more microwave energy and it glows in plasma form. It is just like a florescent light except it uses water. Please people, learn some science. Its really cool and prevent you from making stupid mistakes.

[rt36crazyfists]

@michalchik Oh it's burning for sure, but first he's making the fuel with radio waves

[michalchik]

@rt36crazyfists No, burning is an oxidation reaction that produces net energy. He is making the water glow in a power consuming electrical phenomena. It is essentially what happens in a florescent light bulb or plasma ball. Look up how they work. If you heat gases up they look like flames but they are not making energy. It is the difference between a lump of coal which glows by burning and produces energy and a electric stove which glows by heating and consumes energy.

[rt36crazyfists]

@michalchik erm, read up on this, he is using the radio waves to separate the O, and H out, like in electrolysis, which is what he is burning. They are highly flammable. H and O are the reactants, H is oxidized, O is reduced, the product is water. Of course this is not efficient because it takes more energy in radiowaves to separate the O and H.

[michalchik]

@rt36crazyfists The seawater is not burning as the video title claims. People think that he is burning seawater as an energy source the way you burn gasoline. If you want to say that somewhere in the ball of plasma there are some redox reactions going on fine but this is really no more burning that a florescent bulb, and I doubt much H2 and O2 is being made either. It is probably a bunch of free-radicals. I bet the place reeks of ozone.

[davelantor]

the real question is, can you produce more energy than what you are wasting with running that radio wave generator.

[Strothy2]

stupid Americans, how much energy is need to Heed it up and how much energy you get from this, i say u have to spend more energy to run this thing as u get from it... maybe in 10 years it's ready

[GroogFish]

70% of the world is salt water. Can you say- "BOOOM!" ?

lol

[DaithiDublin]

2:10 "That's the true American innovator, someone that is not looking for something, he just finds it." --Priceless,

I can just see the NASA press conference: ...Then we got lucky and found a space rocket. The rest was easy.!!!!

The only idiots here are the 'news' producers. Why are they even talking to polymer engineers anyway?

[michalchik]

@DaithiDublin I haveto go find some polymer engineers and hit them with a physics book. I can't believe they are that stupid.

[atlantic54]

There is a little problem here called the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Unfortunately it takes more RF energy to perform the electrolysis than the energy produced by the burning hydrogen and oxygen. This is nothing more than an interesting parlor trick.

[fjpereny]

@atlantic54 The only thing I found interesting was that they found 2 "engineers" that were amazed by it.

[xoio]

The key to using water as a fuel IS the ability to rapibly separate the Hydrogen from the Oxygen, then re-introduce it in a combustion chamber.

Could the bombarding of the saline solution with a particular radio frequency & amplitude be THAT catalyst? - Of course temporary storage of the separated hydrogen & oxygen, so that its introduction into a combustion chamber in a controlled manner, is another matter. ;-)

[Vafanciullo80]

Pretty awesome!

[endtyrany]

If BP keeps messing up the gulf we will have no problem burning sea water.

[polpotsdog]

and all you need is a nuclear plant in the trailer!!! i love american upbeat news pieces. Its all hope, little real world fact. ohhhhh look...test tubes.....men with beards...it must be real. ha ha.

[mmaghfai]

'They were amazed' and then what happened to this technology? swept under the carpet by the greedy leaders of this world..... The oil cartels, the US Govt, etc..

[monstrositylabs]

@mmaghfai

OR more likely is that this 'invention' is a complete load of cock.

energyOut < energyIn

[bwhites88]

It only shows that small test tube burning from what is obviously a gigantic generator, so there must be a lot of energy wasted. I think the whole idea of this video is to show that this may have some future application, but its nothing to get excited about. It is however, pretty fucking cool.

[VideyoJunkei]

neat, BUT, the power used to get salt water to do this is a LOT more than the flame output....this has to be. I wonder if this is more efficient than just making hydrogen with current through the water?

[TheyFeedingULies]

@VideyoJunkei The pwr used is nothing compared to the pwr used to get oil out the ground, refine it, and transport it. Not to mention the impact the process has on the environment. The only difficulty is getting this widely accepted and used and not being ruined by the oil and gas industries who have vested interest in not seeing this type of technology come to fruition. The implications for home heating is incredible. That means big oil and gas will be trying to stop this.

[bboymarcel]

this discovery is cool,but humans are all 100%electricity,and the technology they make thiner and thiner has got a reason!

we are magnet!

[Jmalbran]

coool???????  who are u working for? oil companyies? Enron?

ask yourself why this video has only 13991 views and probably you will find that You are the answer.

[mmaghfai]

@Jmalbran well the number has gone up from 13991 to 20438 my friend....lets not give up, the more people wake up to things like this, the better chance we have at beating the global dominators.....peace

[Borzeey]

And if this discovery is totally useless and won't solve any energy problems, who cares? that flame LOOKS COOL =)

[linuxj]

OMG, are you all beyond reasoning? The energy that makes the salt water burn comes from the radiowaves. Burning that flame is just a way of displaying the energy that comes out of the radio waves. Where does the radio waves come from? -Electricity, Where does electricity come from i the U.S.? Coal and nuclear. There you go guys. simple as that. It is essentially a fancy way of burning coal. No need to thank me or anything.

[NoukonGlobal]

~LINUXJ

Sorry, my computer has hte problem of not posting my comment below others sometimes... just to make sure people know this was in response to you.

Though you are correct that energy would come from those sources, if the energy output from this 'saltwater' is higher than the energy the radio waves take to create it... wouldnt that mean it could effectively power itself, along with everything else?

This could technically be a Perpetual Energy Generator... in a primitive way.

[dundermiflinpaper]

great discovery, but now it probably takes a amzing amount of power to run the radio transmitter, more energy than you get out of a generator you put over the flame, but who knows, theyll probly figure a way to perfect it

[Linkekeke]

If you guys didn't know he was assassinated, the oil companies didn't fair to well with it.

[qualqui]

wasn't it Stan Meyers who was assassinated?

[asas2jh]

The man is still alive!

[jrod1591]

well. I dont think the government would tax the water as much as they might tax radio waves.. I mean. they really could not stop people from taking seawater to run their cars. But i bet they could find a way to use a device that can shut down your car so that you could not use radio waves.. unless you pay a "tax" every week or month. I dont think i sound stupid, but to me that seems like the only way the government could actually tax us. but idk. I think the concept is neat though.

[twortle]

If we can get the efficiencies of the energy input to be far less than the energy output, you may have something there. It must be at least self-propagating energy.

[allcingeye]

well if this man need, help to cure his wife I must first ask him to have a open mind and then look in great detail At what H2O2 might be able to do for his wife just google {Daren H2O2} and look for {HEATH AND HEALING} Look read you know things have been hidden.god bless I might have found a cure for cancer while ive been looking for power

[milo77777]

"energy and matter are nither created nor destroyed they change from one form to another"no one can decive god and get a free energy out of no where the energy from the fire comes from the energy in the radio wave and salt only acts as a catalist to ease this ionization which is then reversed into fire(fire and heat are photons which means that this is a transformation of electromag. energy(radio wave) to another electromag. energy (fire) )

the stupid american media is fooling silly people

[ShadeValryn]

actually combustion is usually the result of the breaking of the bonds of the water. the radio waves simply vibrate the atoms in the perfect way to make H2O and it's salt into CO2 and H20 (vapor/gas form).

[kingneddy]

any brilliant new inventions are bought up by force by the world elite & kept from the world to keep the status of oil dominating our lives

[Mr4thdimension]

@kingneddy hey conspiracy nutt. Any invention must be patented in order to keep the inventor or owner of the idea protected from patent infringement. Any man woman or child can go down to the patent office and view these. Inventions and patents cannot be kept secret as that is the nature of a patent, letting everyone else know what you have made so that no one else can make it or claim to have made it and make money off it. Duh!!!!! The protect the inventor and patent owner from infringement.

[kingneddy]

@Mr4thdimension your a dumb beast of burden.you deserve slavery in a socialist country.

[Mr4thdimension]

@kingneddy LoL, that might hurt my feelings if I didnt know it was from a conspiracy nutt loon. I refute you with undeniable facts and your left with nothing but personal jabs. nice. And besides the fact that anyone can look up any patent, which is true, the majority of all scientific advancement is done at the university level, and the majority of all scientific funding comes from government grants, all of which can be traced. You could never sweep a "unlimited energy machine" under a rug.

[kingneddy]

@Mr4thdimension some day u might open your eyes & stop believing what mainstream media sells u as the truth. now go enjoy being mentally crippled u landless peasant slave. havnt u got some fake counterfeit paper money to worship?

[ASeventhSign]

@kingneddy When you're calling someone dumb, try to spell correctly. Just a tip!

[bustermk2]

I wouldn't get too excited. There are plenty of ways to extract hydrogen from water.

The thing is that there is no such thing as a free lunch in physics. The amount of energy needed to generate those radio waves would exceed the amount of energy contained in the hydrogen it releases.

[unixaaron]

But major radio broadcasters are already generating the radio waves, not to mention the sun. so yes it don't magicly make power but it does ultilize the power already being wasted by major commerical broadcasters. like like using wave power... the waves are already there, we don't need to make the waves.

[mercoid]

I invented a car that runs on FART pow-a. Baaaa haaa haaa heeeeeeeeee! OH dat a funny joke or wut?!

[wa4lrm]

If you are selling this patent, don't sell it to oil companies. They'll buy only to junk it

[dals18]

unfortunately i think this conflict with a tesla patent.

[3190423]

Not to mention the major conflict with oil shares, also very unfortunately.

[voodooshizzle]

This is weird. This guy was just on 60 minutes last Sunday interviewed by Leslie Stahl about his cancer thing (which is being taken seriously and does seem promising) but there was NO MENTION of this salt water thing.  What the hell??? I'm no conspiracy guy but....What the hell???

[Partisan357]

Corporations are now going to buy up the seas. We'll have to pay for the beach.

[CoreyPeaches12345]

Don't even think about ever seeing cars use this, it could cure the problem of gas as well as supply new fresh water, but the American government wont ever allow the production of it, itd be way to cheap and they wouldn't get ANY money out of it cause congress is a bunch of rich gas loving bastards

[dzgfdg]

@CoreyPeaches12345 grow a brain u fuckin retard this shit is just shit

[tjhanopoli]

If this is our solution to gas my question is how is the government going to find a way to tax it? Sea water that is.

what is the next step..shutting down fuel companies?? this will cause political chaos!

[horneeowl101]

actually, it doesnt take that much engery to create the radio frequency needed to burn the water

[fireemblem555]

It takes as much as, or more energy than the amount produced by burning, to make the radio waves. Saying it does not take that much energy is truly stupid as it violates the laws of thermodynamics and basic highschool Physics and Chemistry. If it were possible to use radio waves to split the water using less energy than is produced, then one could simply repeat this process continuously and create infinite energy, this is impossible, truly 100% impossible. Don't pretend to know things.

[0mnix]

Fireemblem555: It does not have to take more energy or the same amount of energy to start a chemical reaction. The energy is contained in the salt water, and it is released when it is burned. This process cannot be repeated indefinitely, as the energy stores are finite, as are the stores of saltwater on our planet. It in no way violates the laws of thermodynamics.

Don't pretend to know things.

[fireemblem555]

The seawater burns because the bonds have been destabilized by external means. An alternative way of doing this is with electrolysis. The amount of energy required to break apart water, is the same as the amount released, whether electricity, or radio waves is used, when it recombines. This video is not directly burning seawater, it is releasing the hydrogen, and then recombining it with oxygen in a flame. This is highschool chemistry, give me an example that works differently or fuck off.

[fireemblem555]

You are referring to exothermic reactions. This process is first performing an endothermic reaction, followed by an exothermic one directly after. In the case of burning fuel, the endothermic reaction has been completed well ahead of time i.e. by bacteria. If you take any cyclic reaction sequence, including the seawater one, ultimately the energy both ways is the same, plus energy is lost. So perhaps fuck off is too harsh, but for Christ's sake do not try to outknow me.

[fireemblem555]

By fuel I was referring to methane, or fossil fuels.

[gordonski378]

I wonder how much energy it takes to actually ignite the sea water. If you actually hooked it up to a generator it probably wont get much energy back from just the hydrogen and oxygen burning.

[fireemblem555]

Burning of hydrogen produces enormous quantities of energy, and igniting it is a one time flick of a lighter, the only real issue is making an efficient radio wave generator. If they ever make one that can keep producing the radio waves that takes even slightly less energy than the burning produces, then the energy crisis would be solved, and everyone powerplant would use a self powered system based on this, and a bond movie would come out where someone tries to ignite the oceans for ransom.

[mwmmwm123]

it is great that salt water can burn but it seem that it can only burn if the radio waves are present,which takes electricity to make. im curious how much electricity it takes to ignite the salt water. it looks like a very high electricity out put to get the water to burn.

[lookn4thepowpow]

play your car stereo real loud

[flavocachata]

And ..?

You will only produce SOUND waves not radio waves

[aarperry]

@mwmmwm123 but dont forget the high voltage required by standard combustion engine to ignite petroleum and also the huge amperage required to crank a starter motor.. from my studies you would be able to energy required is quite similar to that of a standard combustion engine we are all used to

[Cdizk]

@mwmmwm123 Exactly! Even with current electric and hydrogen propulsion systems, fossil fuels are used for either the electric current or the extraction of hydrogen. Nuclear FTW!

[subductionzone]

Wow! Combining two scams in one. Cure cancer and get free energy.

[cptnwoot]

wow...just wow.

a fuel source that relies on salt water and radio waves sounds to good to be true. i wouldn't be surprised when 10 years down the road we find out that burning saltwater causes abnormalities in the brains of people around it. hello zombie apocalypse!

[M4GW]

WOW! The story of the cantury and only 1,100 hits?

[fireemblem555]

Maybe it would be more popular if the seawater came from Britney's Spears' snatch

[MotzaballZ]

lolololololololololololol

[horneeowl101]

are you retarded?

[fireemblem555]

so I wouldn't be so quick to call other people retarded

[MotzaballZ]
