...but still less than 200W.
bttt
Are they putting Science degrees in Kracker Jack boxes these days? A press release w/o this basic information? Gimee a break.
independent source measured the flames temperature, which exceeds 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit, reflecting an enormous energy output.
...but still less than 200W.
//////////////////
that would be really helpful if you could do a watts to degrees computation for energy input output....so for example...how low would Watts have to be in order to be equivalent to 3000 degrees.
No mention of how much hydrogen is separated.
A 200 watt light bulb creates enormous heat. How much heat is the burning hydrogen creating?
Any amatuer scientist knows that the crux is energy in vs. energy out. Energy out wouldn't be so hard to determine, so why not mention it? No sane person would announce this to the world without measuring energy out first.
Exactly. Why is this even news without this?

“Fuel” from Salt Water?

Salt water as fuel? Erie man hopes so

the process doesn’t need to achieve parity for it to be ground breaking
there is evidence to suggest that the RF is creating a synthetic catalyst for platinum. If so they could replace very expensive platinum for its atomic RF which could be created cheaply by the radio wave machine—and used in the industrial production of hydrogen—either in carbon steam reformation or hydrogen fuel cells for cars.
You grab hold of one when it’s been on for a while.
It doesn't take very much power (watts) to heat a small volume to 3000 degrees. Consider a incandescent penlight powered by a single AAA battery. The bulb might be well under 1 watt, but the filament gets to around 4000-5000°F.
I'm interested in total power coming from the burning hydrogen. So far to me it just looks like a fancy electrolysis set up with the released hydrogen burning immediately.
True. All my points still stand.
Are we sure sodium isn’t being stripped from its cloride ion causing the sodium to burn in solution?
No mention of any byproducts, which seems odd. Where does the sodium chloride go (assuming the H and O that burn come from the water)?
Not enough info to comment on its suitability as an energy source, but it would make a neat welding torch for shipboard use...
John Kanzius’s sister, Sophie goes to my church. This man is a true genius/innovator in the field of cancer research. His other works involving the use of radio waves for treating some forms of cancer were featured in Reader’s Digest last year. Unfortunately, Mr. Kanzius has had a recurrence of a type of cancer that his inventions may not cure, and he may not live to see the fruits of his labor.
There's absolutely nothing to this rubbish. They're doing the equivalent of taking a torch and heating some water. Same thing happens there. This just uses a light beam equivalent of a torch. It's incredibly stupid. You could torch a car and do the sme thing. You'll get all that energy back when the char cools. In the meantime, there'll be lots of bond breaking and reforming.
If the source power was solar would it matter if the energy derived was less than the power put in?....I don’t think we would run out of sun for about 5 billion years. The question is, could we ramp up a big enough project to make the solar transfer to salt solution to hydrogen to make it feasible commercially?
