...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.
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.
“Fuel” from Salt Water?

Salt water as fuel? Erie man hopes so

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.
We keep seeing how "huge" the "potential" of this "discovery" is but, as yet, we haven't been giving one factual, measured and peer-reviewed piece of information about it.
Until we start seeing some facts, this: ------------------------------------------- "is six inches, Honey."
It’s a press release for crying out loud! Where’s either the patent or the peer reviewed paper? Sounds like someone is trolling for investment dollars that will be used for many things except investment.
Use sunlight (free) to produce 200 Watts to liberate undetermined BTUs. The point being an enormous supply of saltwater availability>
Goofy “burning saltwater!” and “perpetual motion” variant absurdities aside, this could make a decent way of desalination. Break down the water to O2 & H2, capture the gasses, burn them to recombine into pure water. Recapture the waste heat energy & feed back into energy source to minimize total energy in. Provides the advantage of electrolisis-based desalination without the electrodes.
While I have urged folks to be patient to judge this new device, they are of course absolutely right to point out that it must produce more energy than it takes to run the device, if it is to be the great breakthrough that it’s promoters say it is. I have serious doubts that will be the case.
Despite the likelihood this is going to prove not to be a device that will ever attain 100% plus energy output, I do find the idea of splitting the water and burning off the hydrogen by radio waves to be interesting.
Those of you in the field, has water been broken down by radio waves before, allowing the hydrogen to be burned off?
More information ping.......
This is somewhat off the seawater subject, but put a 1/2 pint of diluent lithium grease in each tank of gas or diesel and wach your mpg go up, plus a cleaner engine.
It would be interesting to see if the H2 can be separated from the O2. That way the H2 could be fed into a fuel cell and then you could see what efficiency the extraction process would have. Even if it where not very great, it may be a cheaper way of getting H2 than we now have. You can never tell.
