Burning Salt Water components

10/15/2007 7:39 PM

Recent news broadcsts high lighted breaking down of seawater (saltwater) into combustible components by passing low frequency radio waves through it an igniting the byproduct. Previewed as an alternate energy source what is the frequency and power needed to produce the effect

Yep, it sure looks like it.

Ha! See previous thread on truth in reporting. Check to see if one reporter has consistently been the one reporting this story over the years.

The frequency of this effect seems to be about every two years.

It seems to require the power to fool people including our two senators.

Looks promising but is it cost effective? You have to use electrical energy to produce radio frequency to burn the salt water. Does ant body know what will be the efficiency of such system?

Yes. Less than 100%.

Sorry to bother you, rmerriell: did John Kanzius asked you to open this discussion?

What is strange to me is that every week or so a new discussion on the same subject is open through very new participants like yourself.

I might be wrong, but it seems to me that Kanzius is in crisis of lack of public attention and he provokes media and internet to remind us of his scam.

I would have a couple of questions for someone intent on "burning " salt water. (1) what do you oxidize, and (2) since most of the compounds in salt water are at their lowest energy state for the environmental conditions (temp, pressure, pH), how much energy must you input to oxidize the salt water to a higher oxidation state than natural.

I hate to disbelieve until I try.

I just threw my transistor radio into a bucket of seawater.

It didn't seem to work.

Maybe I was on the wrong frequency?

I should "invent" similar experiment to get funding for my new house.

It's just another form of electrolysis.
