U.S. Sen. Bob Casey lowered a lighted match to a test tube filled with saltwater. An orange flame instantly erupted from the mouth of the tube. "I'm two for two at igniting the saltwater," Casey said with a smile. Casey spent part of Wednesday afternoon at Industrial Sales and Manufacturing Inc., watching a demonstration of Millcreek Township inventor John Kanzius' radio-frequency device. He is the latest on the list of high-ranking public officials who have trekked to the yellow-brick laboratory on West 15th Street to see the device. Gov. Ed Rendell and U.S. Rep. Phil English, of Erie, R-3rd Dist., watched demonstrations in the spring. "There's nothing like seeing it up close," Casey said. "People can explain it, you can see pictures of it, but it's more impressive in person." The device works by emitting directed radio waves that heat and destroy cancer cells that are "tagged" with microscopic pieces of metal called nanoparticles. These nanoparticles act like tiny transmitters. Nearby, untagged cells are not harmed. Wednesday was a big day for Kanzius and his device, which can be used to ignite saltwater or water that contains other minerals.

Thanks for the post, your previous post and neverdem’s ping...here...

Rats are people who are bad at math and science. Electrolysis has been used for a hundred years to produce O and H from H2O. Our nuclear subs use it every day.
The big question is effeciency. How much power does it take to generate the H? What is the return for what you put in.
Talk more about that issue..and less whiz bang.
Available technology could do a lot more to solve our energy problems than new technology. Unfortunately Rats stand in the way. ANWR, Nuclear, US Offshore, Shale oil and coal gas. All mostly off limits. The H energy will only grow with a big increase in Nuclear.
This is not electrolysis, as is currently (pun intended) understood. There are NO ELECTRODES in the salt water, the machine doesn’t contact the water in any way. There is allegedly an RF frequency, 13.56 MHz IIRC, that is being transmitted through the saltwater, but at what power level in watts, I don’t know.............
John Kanzius is a well known Amateur Radio Operator, K3TUP. His invention is also featured at:

“...the latest on the list of high-ranking public officials who have trekked to the yellow-brick laboratory on West 15th Street to see the device.”
-—Conservatives to see the many potential benefits such a device will bring to mankind.
-—Moderates to see what everyone is talking about.
-—Liberals to see how it should be taxed.
Bob Casey Jr. ran on his fathers pro life record and won. Bob Casey now has a over 60% rating with NARAL.
PA U.S. Senate Jr Robert Casey Democratic 65% rating with NARAL
The main thrust of Kanzius’ efforts is, and always has been, finding an alternative to chemotherapy, one that will limit or even eliminate the “collateral damage”.
The saltwater thing is just an interesting secondary use of the radio waves.
Given the current heightened consciousness about energy, though, the energy from saltwater facet is probably the one which politicians would respond to best right now. And politicians are the ones who can get the big-time funding necessary to accelerate the research.
Just a thought....should that not be “nucular”?
For more just enter “Kanzius” into FR’s keyword search box.............
Bob Casey is still alive? He seemed to have disappeared from the planet right after he was elected.
