energy CANNOT be harvested at 100% without any loss

This video is a fail because you have to generate electicity to create the radio waves, and less energy is released from the salt water than it took to produce the radio waves.

Irresponsible journalism, did no one think to ask how much energy the radio wave generator needed? Clearly they did but it did not fit the "story" - I am tired of hearing about "free energy" lets concentrate on conserving what we have and being smarter not dumber!

This is tesla technology, wireless electric power. All you have to do is to find the right resonance in order for it to catch on fire. Buy a tesla core and the opposit side should be one without the kilowatt adapter. Just coils and capacitor. Have not tried it but I believe it will work that way.

Because entropy always increases. You cannot lower the entropy of a system, and since the losses always cause in an increase in entropy, the system would eventually cease to have a sufficient amount of useful energy to perform work.

Though the whole idea of putting this in a car is assinine, the first place you would see it is in electrically power plants, which if this system could work in an auto, would produce epic amounts of free energy.

Wouldn't even work in power plants, the amount of energy available in the salt water is less than they have to be using to heat it.

it's not free energy, it's costing the energy to generate the radio waves.

This is merely another conversion of energy.

I didn't state that it would work in power plants, I said if it would work that is where you would see it first. You would also never see it in an internal combustion engine because an electric motor with a fuelcell would run cirles around an ICE with regards to efficiency, especially since you have to convert motion to electricity to power the RF generator.

Oh, okay, I seem to have misread your post, you see what I've been dealing with.

They have Everything to do with the subject, They are losses.

There are losses in hear, there are losses in incomplete combustion, there are losses in that the "vibration" caused in the salt is not 100% (hence, not 100% energy recovery) there is loss in that you are using radio-waves which are only so directional in the first place, so you are losing some energy in producing those, and many of those going off into the æther, there is loss in the generation, and transmission lines. there

is loss in storage (which I mentioned, but you failed to read, because, you fail) there are marginal losses in motor controllers, there are losses in imprecise handling of voltages (have you ever built anything electronic? because, clearly you don't understand the massive inefficiency involved) AGAIN, there is loss through heat in your electronic components (ECU, fuses, alternator) there is loss through friction in the alternator, there is loss in niceities like air conditioning, there is loss
