Saltwater Fuel

Research into a cure for cancer, has found a method of 'Burning' Salt water. This can be potentialu used for powering vehicles, electricity plants etc.
*****
John Kanzius discovered that by focusing certain radio-frequencies on a test tube of salt water, he could ignite the contents, which would them become hot enough to melt the test tube. The process has been independently verified by Rustum Roy, a Penn State University chemist. According to Roy, what is actually happening is the hydrogen is being separated from the salt water and ignited. As long as the water is bombarded with the radio-frequency, it continues to burn after being ignited. This could be a possible breakthrough, depending on how much energy it takes to separate the hydrogen from the water compared to how much hydrogen can be extracted.

Additional research will be necessary into this discovery. The effect was actually discovered while Kanzius was researching heated nanoparticles as part of a novel cancer treatment. So, really, not all accidents are bad, huh? According to our source article, Dr. Roy will be meeting with officials from the DOE and DOD to discuss the discovery and to seek funding for further research. We'll see where it goes from there.

The process probably does use more power to break the hydrogen loose from its bond than the hydrogen itself provides. Result = net loss in energy = inefficient. But it's a cool discovery nonetheless.

This could be made into a weapon...maybe it already is being used by black ops people?

this idea has good potential as an alternative heating source for furnaces

@Josemedeiros "Can the energy produced by the Seawater be greater the the energy required to power the Radio wave generator? "

No. Otherwise you'd be able to use the power from the flame to run the rf generator.

All this guy did is make a hella strong microwave without the protective shielding. No wonder he has cancer. The same damn thing will happen if you put salt water in any strong RF field. This isn't new. This guy is an idiot that has been microwaving himself. It's not the hydrogen that ignites. It is the sodium oxide being heated to an extreme temp, and being broke down to just plain sodium. Then the sodium reacts with the water causing a flame.

The heat is caused by a sodium reaction not H2..

What a discovery! Can the energy produced by the Seawater be greater the the energy required to power the Radio wave generator? The heat could also be used to purify sea water by superheating the steam, and also producing electrical power by turning Steam Turbine Generators.

Theres a difference between powering a radio source and just receiving radio waves. It would have to be a huge battery.

[jibliesV2]

well thats a really good point, but i think what was so amazing about this is that the salt water burning could power the machine igniting it AND power an engine.

if it was only able to power a motor and not the machine igniting it i think this wouldnt have even got on the news.

Hahahaa, this is too funny to read. I love the video! I think on their website they say :"report the facts, respect the truth" epic lol. Water is not a fuel. The energy seen in the process comes from the radio generator and not the water. Car radio generator instead of radio, nice trolling :)

Think about this - the atom bomb. I think output exceeds input there. I am very much a laymen obviously but science is very, very controlled. That much is obvious.
