Mr Kansius was an amazing indivual, May God rest his soul.

I was going to hope someone invented the spine for Republican politicians.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Hmmm, very interesting. I wonder what the efficiency is.

[Red_Devil 232]

The most amazing invention according to my neighbor is the Thermos Bottle!

[RightOnline]

Absolutely..........remarkable.

The inventor passed away last year, a true modern day Edison. But we have to rely on way cool, chin pubbed college kids for all the inventions right? If it doesn’t come out of Cal Tech, MIT or some other moldy university and is found to be of some political as well as practical use it never sees the light of day. It gets in some journal and is spoken about by sweater vest wearing intellectuals at the fall mixer. Find a way to clone polar bears it's on the vening news and gets gobs of funding, anything to fuel the engine of commerce and capitalism...well that is not important. It's never about clean energy its about control. Now windfarms and solar are not good enough for the Nazis, its simply us living in TeePees.

It’s easy to separate water into hydrogen and O2.
It’s doing it with less energy than you get out of it that so far can’t be done.
The laws of physics say it is not possible.

That is not new and it takes as much to power it as it produces. Zero sum game.

[Right Wing Assault]

The radio waves require an electrical current, which requires a generator, which requires a fossil fuel (or nuke).

Can’t get something for nothing. The energy released by the burning hydrogen must be less than the energy stored in the burned fossil fuel that runs the electric plant that runs the radio generator.

Sorry, that’s the physics of it.

Cool, now we can boil off the oceans!

Oh, if you do want to achieve a power break through, figure how to produce and control balled lightning.

Some additional info here:

I can’t find much in the way of specifics. Not that I expect it to violate the laws of thermodynamics, but it would be a neat way to generate hydrogen for energy storage - maybe use nukes to generate hydrogen to power pollution-less cars.

One question I have...

If the process breaks up the water into H and O and then “burns” them back into water...what happens to the salt in the saltwater?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Electrolysis of water with an electric current does the same thing. Only problem is you use more electric energy than the energy stored in the resulting hydrogen gas.

My bet is that RF is far less efficient at breaking the hydrogen-oxygen bond, and the net energy deficit is even worse.

Just so you all know, I know of this, it was a great hoax and this guy admitted to it. This is not a real thing, so don't pass it on to friends in Email and end up looking stupid OK.

He was having fun at everyone else’s expense.
Is great for a laugh.
