Running Your Car on Saltwater

I wonder how much energy it takes to run the radio transmitter vs how much is released by the salt water.

The same old half baked ideas keep popping up, year after year. If hydrogen is being released I wonder what the liquid candle and paper towel wick is for.

This may be another example of how people, who don't really understand the difference between heat and temperature, confuse high temperature with high energy. Jeff

Join the "Green Revolution" and get yourself a bathyscaph!!! 120,000 litres of petrol, but it doesn't ever use any more fuel than that!!!

Jeez a car battery can release hydrogen from sea water....

This is a cart load of testiclar material.

Touche!

My australian lamb produces more Kanzius gas from its posterior, than this device.

When did they repeal the law of conservation of energy?

This system, like the MIT wireless energy system, is getting FAR more press than it deserves by folks who really ought to know better. The above system uses ~1 KW of RF energy to generate a plasma flame that's rooted on the surface of the saltwater. There's no mechanism or evidence of hydrogen actually being generated within the liquid but there may be active boiling near the root of the plasma. You're seeing displacement currents at work as RF current is transfered into/out of the discharge (once initiated). If you notice, he needs to either provide a concentrated e-field (to generate corona which from the edges of the paper towel and evolves into the arc) or he needs to strike an arc to initiate the plasma. He's (re)created a microwave plasma torch, using a saltwater column as an electrode. Efficiency of output power versus input is likely no more than 30%...

Whenever I hear MIT's breakthrough technologies there are a few words that immediately come to my mind. These words are from one of the group containing words like "SCAM", "HYPE", "FRAUD","DOCTORING","FOOLING","CHEATING" etc. They have never been able to produce one working prototype from any of those technological breakthroughs like Aluminium Battery, Ceramic Supercapacitor, Nano Battery etc etc.

It is hightime that someone high up in the donor community take these mad scientists to task and link any future funding based on practicable results rather than cuckoo theories.

You Know reporter will beat any story to death if it looks good and can get their face on the tube.

This SOS was prosted previously in June of THIS year.

Previous Thread: Salt Water As A Fuel

John Kanzius is either self deceived or a deliberate fraud.

Any such system consumes much more energy than it can possibly produce!
