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.

"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.

I disagree. An internal combustion engine uses a hot flame from petroleum products to turn a very inefficient engine. These engines not only power vehicles, but all of it’s accessories like air conditioning, water pump, alternator, power steering ect. Since most RF signals are very easy to produce, I am pretty sure you could easily utilize a 1500 to 3000 degree flame to run a generator capable of producing it. I say this not as a scientist but as a pretty good gear head that has built such things as airplanes, backhoes, and several cars.

I’m highly skeptical of this “discovery”, but where do you get the information that the RF energy going in exceeds the energy coming out.

It just seems that this guy might have discovered a highly efficient form of electrolysis. It certainly isn’t a new form or source of energy. But if it is efficient enough, it becomes a relatively cheap source of hydrogen. Time will tell.
