If we could just harness the energy from this story being continuously reposted, we would have unlimited free energy.
Blame the search function, not me. I searched the exact title and got nothing.
For those non scientists out there, just remember, God provides NO free lunch. This is not a new “soucrce” of energy. Salt water is about the most inert substance in the world, and the available energy from burning the hydrogen produced is less than the microwave (i.e. electro-machnetic) power required to produce it. It is not a secret that you can produce hydrogen from water by applying an electric field. Perhaps microwaves are a good way to do that, but there is no “breakthrough” here.
2nd Law of Thermodynamics will not be violated no matter what these yahoos think.
'Nuff said!
Roy and Kanzius never passed Physics, Chemistry or Logic, apparently. But they did pass the course on securing grants.
In other news the WIDOW OF DR MUBUTO NEEDS YOUR HELP IN GETTING $25,000,000 OUT OF NIGERIA AND SHE WILL PAY YOU 10% TO HELP HER IF YOU GIVE HER YOUR BANK ACCOUNT ROUTING INFORMATION.
What’s the frequency, Kenneth?
Point your magic radio at water, hydrogen splits out. You burn the hydrogen, which turns it back into water. And there's supposed to be a net gain in energy somewhere?
TANSTAFFL, you-all.
At most this is a more efficient way to liberate the hydrogen than electrolysis (electrolysis is about 50% efficient). It would be a useful result, although not earth shattering, if the efficiency of this process is better by 10 or 20 points. It’s definitely not a way to “create” energy.
But since they don’t appear to have actually done the calculations you can’t even be sure that this is more efficient than electroysis. (Said calculations apparently require large amounts of grant funding even though an honors science student in high school could get a good estimate in about 2 hours given one of the radio devices).
Yes. I know.
I’ve already been contacted and the money is as good as in my bank account already.
The $10k I’ve got in there is my life savings, but I’m not worried, because that will soon be chump change.
I’m stepping out, and to hell with all the naysayers.
Life is changing. It will soon be...
Sweeeeeeet!
Exxon already has the rights to this technology.
“If we could just harness the energy from this story being continuously reposted, we would have unlimited free energy.”
- Now, if the energy produced by burning salt water could be used to power the radio frequencies which released it with some left over to heat my house, then I think they might have something here.
Finally we know what that dude was asking ;-)
Andy, Andy, Andy.
Next you'll be telling me there's no such thing as perpetual motion.
People who never check the math will always fall for these con game.
I love the “magic radio” comment. And your tagline made me laugh...
(Do you have a different meaning or did you mean TANSTAAFL?)
