Radio Frequencies Help Burn Salt Water
I can think of no better news on the 6th anniversary of 9/11 than the possibility of ending our dependence on outside sources of fuel. It is too early to get very excited yet but this could lead to our freedom from fossil fuels and our dependence on nations who hate our freedoms and successes.
By David Templeton, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
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.
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.”

Oil companies will buy this science, and it will be out of the news PDQ.

Nope, the oil will run out and this will keep them going.

I still prefer the termite gut microbe hydrogen fuel source. They eat your house AND all your garbage. And, then fuel your hydrogen car…

Of course, I drive a HYDROcarbon powered ECO Vehicle, so conversion should be a snap. Yup, doing my part to help global warming, err climate change or whatever they’re calling it now and days….

ummm… speaking of climate change. What happens to this water that is burned? Does it recycle? I do believe dried up ocean would not exactly have a stablizing effect on climate. I need more information please, before I can make a judgement.

velvethammer,
That’s our 9/11 banner. Tomorrow, it’s back to normal… Thanks for the compliment.

Oh ok I kinda thought so. I still like it!
