Yes, we know it sounds hard to believe, but a man in Erie, Pennsylvania, has apparently managed to set fire to a vial of salt water with a self-built radio frequency generator. When John Kanzius tried to desalinate seawater with a device he had created to (supposedly) treat cancer, he found he could keep the water burning like a candle as long as it was exposed to the proper frequencies.
Not surprisingly, many in the scientific community initially dismissed Kanzius' claim as a hoax. However, when Rustum Roy - a professor of chemistry at Penn State University - took him up on the challenge and attempted to recreate the experiment, he was amazed to see that it actually worked. And, no, there were no tricks to it either (or electrodes, as many thought).
According to Roy, the salt water itself isn't actually burning - what happens is that the radio frequency helps weaken the bonds holding together the water's constituents, releasing the bound hydrogen which burns when exposed to the frequency's energy field. At a temperature of around 3,000°F, the flame reflects a tremendous energy output, Roy explained.
Roy, who deems the discovery "the most remarkable in water science in 100 years," will now take up further research with the Departments of Energy and Defense to investigate its potential applications as a source of alternative energy. "We will get our ideas together and check this out and see where it leads. The potential is huge," he said.
Now we're talking clean energy.

I've never been called a treehugger but this looks like an amazing source of clean energy.
Cue up that guy with the headache, not this &*%# again.
The RF energy put into the device EXCEEDS the heat energy obtained. There may be electrolysis going on and he’s burning the hydrogen with the oxygen liberated. However, some theorize that he’s only creating a plasma which is giving off enough heat to run a Stirling engine.
Demo Stirling engines aimed at science classrooms will run off the hear of your hand.
Cue the “Jeez, not this —— again” pic.
"hear" = heat
The RF energy is another word for “microwaves”. When you heat food in the microwave, the RF energy generated heat by vibrating the molecules. Salt water gets exposed to RF energy every time we cook stew.
What might be interesting is if he’s found a new way to desalinate, but just off the laws of physics, he hasn’t found a new energy source.
Does it say how much energy is being applied to gain the “effect”? You can do a lot of neat things that are net losers of energy.
Then evil government dudes killed the entire scientific team leaving him on the run with a love interest. Evil corporations and evil government fighting the righteous left.
Remember? Free energy? One Love Let’s get together and feel all right.....
I get it from both sides. I’m either considered credulous when I post things about stuff like SubQuantum Kinetics & electrogravitics, or a naysayer when I make fun of someone who’s burning sodium as a cool experiment.

I wonder how much the salt had to do with this? We have millions of tons of salt here in the US.
My bad, next time I’ll do a search before posting a new article. All I want to know is, what is the frequency Kenneth?
Poor Darwin thought critters got all their genes from Mummsy and Daddy of course. Carries "sexual selection" to a whole new level.
Once you've got a good laugh on those guys come back here and give us even more links to cold fusion projects. Or, maybe give us a link to the latest in creating double-helix forms in water molecules under pressure.
