Salt Water being used for Energy

It’s one of the most exciting things that could ever happen. Getting Water to Burn! With this, we can see big potential in the future use of water. I don’t know about you, but there is a movie called “Chain Reaction” that shows a group of students and scientists trying to get energy out of water in Chicago. They succeed by generating a specific frequency and then burn the hydrogen from the water.

Now a man has done the same thing with salt water by accidentally making it burn by using a specific frequency and I thought it might interest a large group of you. The article below simply states that they don’t know how much energy can be gotten from this new discovery. It also about how the farthest that they got is in actually being able to burn the hydrogen and haven’t made any other calculations or done any experiments to see how this may be used to power cars or any other devices or even whether it is worth the cost and more energy is coming out than what is going in, which I believe will happen. They plan to experiment and test this but are first looking for funds to help them accomplish all of these tasks.

I find this very cool and as another safe way to provide us with the energy needs that we have grown accustomed to and hope you do too! I would like to note that the below article is not my work and that I have cited my source if you are interested in where I came up with this or are interested in other related subjects. Thank you.

“[Radio Frequencies Help Burn Salt Water
ERIE, Pa. – An Erie cancer researcher has found a way to burn salt water, a novel invention that is being touted by one chemist as the “most remarkable” water science discovery in a century.

John Kanzius happened upon the discovery accidentally when he tried to desalinate seawater with a radio-frequency generator he developed to treat cancer. He discovered that as long as the salt water was exposed to the radio frequencies, it would burn.

The discovery has scientists excited by the prospect of using salt water, the most abundant resource on earth, as a fuel.

Rustum Roy, a Penn State University chemist, has held demonstrations at his State College lab to confirm his own observations.

The radio frequencies act to weaken the bonds between the elements that make up salt water, releasing the hydrogen, Roy said. Once ignited, the hydrogen will burn as long as it is exposed to the frequencies, he said.

The discovery is “the most remarkable in water science in 100 years,” Roy said.

“This is the most abundant element in the world. It is everywhere,” Roy said. “Seeing it burn gives me the chills.”

Roy will meet this week with officials from the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense to try to obtain research funding.

The scientists want to find out whether the energy output from the burning hydrogen – which reached a heat of more than 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit – would be enough to power a car or other heavy machinery.

“We will get our ideas together and check this out and see where it leads,” Roy said. “The potential is huge.”]”
