Radio Frequencies Help Burn Salt Water:

ERIE, Pa. - An Erie cancer researcher has found a way to burn salt water, a novel invention that is being touted by one chemist as the "most remarkable" water science discovery in a century.

John Kanzius happened upon the discovery accidentally when he tried to desalinate seawater with a radio-frequency generator he developed to treat cancer. He discovered that as long as the salt water was exposed to the radio frequencies, it would burn.

Penn State University?



The discovery has scientists excited by the prospect of using salt water, the most abundant resource on earth, as a fuel.

Rustum Roy, a Penn State University chemist, has held demonstrations at his State College lab to confirm his own observations.

The radio frequencies act to weaken the bonds between the elements that make up salt water, releasing the hydrogen, Roy said. Once ignited, the hydrogen will burn as long as it is exposed to the frequencies, he said.

The discovery is "the most remarkable in water science in 100 years," Roy said.

"This is the most abundant element in the world. It is everywhere," Roy said. "Seeing it burn gives me the chills."

Roy will meet this week with officials from the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense to try to obtain research funding.

The scientists want to find out whether the energy output from the burning hydrogen — which reached a heat of more than 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit — would be enough to power a car or other heavy machinery.

"We will get our ideas together and check this out and see where it leads," Roy said. "The potential is huge."

Technically it's not the water that's burning. It's the hydrogen separated from the water that is burning.

This was the name of the article on Yahoo's homepage a few hours ago,

I thought it was interesting but apparently people seem to think I'm selling something. I'm not. I swear.

Just sharing.

A number of culinary-challenged people have been burning water since the invention of fire.

Actually I think he is breaking the bonds between the Sodium and the Chloride that make up the NaCl in the salt water. Guess what happens when you expose Sodium to water. It burns rather vigorously.

What I want to know is does the amount of energy put out by the burning salt water exceed the amount of radio energy he is putting in?

If he was, Hydrogen is in the 1.5% all others. Hardly the most abundant element on the planet.

I think you're too smart to write an article like that. I have a feeling that scientists across the nation are trying to replicate the experiment as we speak ala 'cold fusion'. Any bets on what the results will be?

Let's go fellows--we are all a little more hip than this. Water is H2O and contains Hydrogen. Free Hydrogen is very explosive and makes a good fuel. Water can be disassociated into Oxygen and Hydrogen. It takes more energy to do this than you get back by burning the two products. This is the 2nd law of thermodynamics at work.

What is not mentioned is that the energy to split up the sea water comes from the microwaves that he uses to bombard the water. Microwaves at the X-band frequencies are good at heating up water very quickly. That is how your microwave oven works.

This was discovered by the Air force when they tried to use X-Band Radar (say around 10 to 11 Gigahertz or 3 cm wavelength) The radar wouldn't work since this frequency range turned out to be absorbed by water vapor. There is abundant water vapor in the air. At least this provided a bunch of X-band klystrons for us reasearchers to experiment with microwaves at a reasonable price.

Thats the physics lesson for today--thank you all and good night.

How much energy is used to transport a barrel of crude and then to process it into gasoline? More or less than the energy of a microwave process? And what of the emissions of the processing itself?

And sea water - is it more or less abundant, and more or less of a reason to go to war over than oil?

And how does the comparison of emissions of spent gas compare to that of hydrogen?

Are you confusing this thread with the free energy thread that to my knowledge doesn't exist in these seti forums?

Yes of course--but the question is where do we get the abundant, high quality energy to convert hydrogen into our major fuel for autos--I vote for nuclear; what do you say
