Yay, cheap energy - Salt Water As A Fuel

[AshtrayKitten]

This may be the most revolutionary invention or discovery since fire. A man was trying to cure cancer using radio waves and discovered that these radio waves could be used to unlock hydrogen form oxygen in salt water. Amazing!

Geez!!

This is Epic!!

Let the global warming happen!! Once the ice melt there'll be no water left in the ocean!

'Cos human's need is uncapable to be fulfilled

Man-made global warming is fiction.

They're just extracting hydrogen.

When you burn hydrogen, water is produced. So even if this turns out to be an efficient way of producing electricity, no one has to worry about drying up the ocean.

It's not fiction, but it's been so politicized that I think people have lost track of the fact that we should be trying to make our shit more energy-efficient anyway. After all peak oil's going to fuck us over eventually, be it in 50 years or 500 years.

Anyways, this is a very interesting invention. Now, the big question is how much electricity does it take to power this guy's RF generating device? Because if it's more than the amount of electricity generated by the burning of the resultant hydrogen, then the whole thing is just a dazzling science project.

Yes, it's been politicized. But the point is that it's not fiction.

More. The energy you get from combining oxygen and hydrogen into water is the same as the energy used to break them apart to start with. They didn't claim to be getting more energy out so it would be useless for generating electricity.
Plus he was talking about car engines, so I think it was with the view that it could be a good way to seperate water to obtain hydrogen for cars.

Take a good look at this response to see where you fucked up.

[jack_the_knife]

This is quite old news actually.

[CptSternn]

Yeah, we have two threads on this (one I posted) when it was discovered over a year ago.

It's called the United States. It occupies a big chunk of the North American continent. You may have noticed it on maps. They still choose leaders who think they are getting personal missives from the creator of the universe there.
