It's just a microwave oven... and physics tell you that you cant get more energy from "burning salt water" than you need to make your microwave oven to work... Juste bullshit.

now imagine military setting whole ocean on fire...

It comes from the grid and is approx 300 watts. The actual energy input into the system are from RF wave photons which interact with the Na. In other words it's a very very small amount of energy which produces a tremendous amount of energy. (3000F flame).

reffup that is funny lmaf

exactly what i was going to ask

hoffie125 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

So... where would the electricity come from to create the radio waves?

Pwordchernoir (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

This is cool. need to see wattage calculations vs possible thermal output. Is this brute force electrolysis or are the radio waves specific and stimulating the water to split. Notice the flame. The gas IS exploding. The 'on demand' release nature of the system is limiting the intensity and the process is repeating at high frequency. Interesting stuff though.

this is awsome.. untill someone sais go big or go home and tries to light the pacific on fire, talk about global fuckin warming.

You seem to have mistaken me for someone who believes this system works. {:^) I'm sure there are alternatives which can and will be phased in over time, my point was merely that when testing any new thing, you need results from lots of samples over a period of time, so why spend money trying it out in a huge power station when you can leave the public to spend their own money testing it for you on the roads ?

personzorz (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

This is not an energy source. The energy pumped into the water by the radiowaves is stored in the chemical energy of the hydrogen and oxygen gases. It is an unnecessarily complicated electrolysis apparatus, nothing more. No answer to the energy crisis here whatsoever.
