That’s what I was wondering. So the key is the burning of the salt water has to produce enough energy to power the radio transmitter and whatever is left is what you can use.
Since you are burning a fuel it is possible that there is a net power surplus. Now they just need to make it effecient.

"Since you are burning a fuel it is possible that there is a net power surplus." With my extremely limited understanding of physics and chemistry, I don't believe so.
