Not this sh*t again...
If you put electricity through salt water, it breaks apart the bonds between hydrogen and oxygen. Any junior high science student knows that (but obviously not journalists).
The problem is that it takes more energy to break those bonds than the resulting gasses are able to product when burned.
Even if that problem is overcome, there are huge problems with the storage and transportation of those gasses. As it turns out, the stuff leaks right through metals, making them brittle in the process. And, you can imagine that the same problem affect the motors as well.
I guess the Penn State chemist who specializes in these matters referring to this discovery as, “the most remarkable in water science in 100 years” didn’t pass his junior high science class.
Why are Freepers such cynics and know-it-alls?
Maybe nothing will come of it. It still is an interesting discovery.
I figured it was probably bogus. But just in case, I wanted people to hear about it.
That's not the process being described here.
Whose this guy’s agent?
