Salt water able to burn??

following this blog, everyone seems interested in the H2 generation, etc. Whatever happened to the cure for cancer?

You have made a notable observation, however this is a forum for engineers to exchange ideas and discussions; we are not physicians.

With that being said, a lot of good would come from a effiecient, low cost hygrogen producing technique. It could run all the cancer curing devices around the world.

I've seen the video, he pumps a huge amount of radio freq energy in and gets a small plasma on top. Should get the free energy people going.

Of course you can get water to burn, just break it down into Hydrogen and Oxygen, then recombine and burn it. Only trouble is, it takes more energy to break it apart than you get back (when you take into account the losses). Jeff

What happened to the salt?

Here I am producing Hydrogen gas in salt water. The byproduct is sodium hypochlorite or chlorine bleach.

How much energy is required to alleviate the hydrogen from the salt solution? Is it less than what is required for water alone?

It depends on your anode/cathode size. 4 volts and 10 amps works well on this small unit. At 60 amps it will really cook but a lot of heat is also generated.

The salt acts as an electrolyte. You do get more current flow through the water. Yes there is much more activity using salt water compared to fresh water.

The video just does not provide enough data to make any judgement about what is going on, making it meaningless.

A fire burning hot enough to split water into H2 and O2 will keep burning when you throw water at it.

Same question as other pointed out: How much energy input and how much we get out of it?

One hot, still ,August night we were frog hunting in a small creek. One of the lanterns was dying and John and his brother thought it was out of fuel. They placed it on a sand bar and poured fuel from the good one into the one going out. No funnel around and they spilled as much into the sand as the lantern. 'the fuel seeped into the water and I was thinking as it spread. It wont be long now. then WOOOOOSSSSHHH. The creek was blazing up to their chins....for a second. they were still running after it went out. I will never forget the look on their faces.
