How Saltwater Can Be turned Into Energy

Baffled??? It's a high-tech electrolysis device. You can't get more energy out then you put in. It's worthless. Running a car off a battery is more efficient than changing that electricity to chemical energy and them burning it. Again, this is worthless.

"heat" is not what he is adding with the RF. If you boil salt water it just causes the water to go from a liquid to a gas state and leaves the salt behind (it does not separate hydrogen and oxygen (break the bond). The guy is obviously no scientist or he would realize that. He is a "tinker" and has no clue what he is doing, but sometimes tinkering does lead to great discoveries. Here is what I am pretty sure is happening ... The RF is inducing an electrical current in the water (I.E. Eddy currents) and salt helps the conductivity. This has to be much less efficient than sticking a couple of terminals from a battery in it. Mystery solved.

What he does not state is how much energy (RF) do you have to put into this then measure how much you are getting out (I.E. efficiency). I have a feeling that he is expending more energy than it is producing.

um... ok... you guys are tools. If you do some research on this guy you will find he doesn't claim this to be a "fuel source" or whatever. He's simply demonstrating a very strange and new effect his RF machine causes. Directly burning salt water out of test tube is something no on else has done without adding something to the water. All he claims is that he can burn salt water when it's exposed high intensity RF waves... That's a pretty neat discovery no one else knew about... so shut up... ok? The only person claiming it's fuel source is the jack ass reporter.

If you used solar power, wind or wave power to generate the electricity in order to run the microwave machine that heats up the salt water in order to extract hydrogen..Well, yeah then it might be a cool idea.

Yeah, its a good thing you can't start a stored chemical reaction with a match and some gasoline and get more energy out of the system than you put in. It would be nice to see the input vs output number though.

Without proper experimentation it's all snake oil. Until we know energy in VS energy out it's no different ant any other form of electrolysis, heck I can do that with a battery i don't need RF.. of course it's still a net loss of energy

How do you know it's using more power in than it puts out? He's claiming its reaching a temperature of 3,000 degrees...

Total KOOK. He's probably putting fifty times as much energy into that system than what he's getting out. Thermodynamics is a bitch.

Too bad someone already tried this. Youtube and Wiki Stanley Meyers, strangely died after making a car run on salt water using pulsed RF waves to release the hydrogen. Very similar indeed; boo yaka sha, respec

it couldn't be because of all the oil that is in the ocean now a day's thanks to Exon,and pretty much every oil company that dose trade through sea?

Maybe we can ignite the whole ocean in a chain reaction :D wow, I won't sleep tonight PS what a shame

It is shame that people like this have a job in science.

Here's the thing, it takes more energy to create and maintain the flame than the energy that is released.

The Next energy crisis in the world: No more Saltwater Iwe ran out of seemingly "endless" underground resorviors of gas, the same can happen with water Imagine that

HAVE BRIDGE IN BROOKLYN TO SELL -CHEAP... ROFL. Hey, if you can vote for Bush--TWICE, why not this ? KW in 50w out, such a deal !!

Another electrolysis scam? these reporters just have no clue about physics... or even basic logic.

Its producing hydrogen, which can be put to use in fuel cells, or fires like the video. It's recombining with oxygen(combustion) and releasing energy in the process. It's not magically getting energy from the salt water though. And it'll take more energy into the radiation machine to cause this process. To be of any use, this machine just needs to use less energy than the water electrolysis process.

wow its like watching that stupid time dilation experiment

Of, for goodness sake - this same idiot was debunked months ago. It doesn't work for one simple reason - it takes more RF energy than you get back from burning the hydrogen due to the fact that no system works 100% efficiently. This was reported on by another idiot reporter falling for the same stupid trickery months ago. Now another reporter who'd rather do a sensational fluff piece than apply critical reasoning skills and get ALL the facts comes along and gives this charlatan more airtime... sigh...

It does not matter if it takes more energy to break the salt water down. The sun produces more than enough energy for our needs. We need a means of storing that energy. The hydrogen becomes a means to store the energy. Take solar or wind power as the source and the hydrogen becomes the potential energy medium.

Please, please, please. Tell me about the amount of energy in and the amount of energy out. With just these two numbers, I will make my own conclusion about how brilliant he is, or how stupid he thinks I am.

It does take a lot of energy to start the reaction, however, if there is sufficient salt water to supply the reaction for as long as it takes, it definitely creates more energy.

First law of thermodynamics? Nope, this guy definetly created energy where there was not energy before. The internet said so.

Where does the energy come from to run his machine? You don't get out as much energy as you put in. I don't know why people are baffled by this.

How much power does the machine use, to ignite the salt water?

The heat you'd get from this can't be used to create as much electricity as it took to start the reaction in the first place. Please don't put that many stupid people in the same room.
