Salt Water as Fuel

I reported this about three days ago when it came to light. It doesn't create energy from nothing (and as a scientist I DO believe this law to be true). It is a way to change or alter energy to get something useful.

Radio Frequencies Help Burn Salt Water: A new fuel?

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.

... but more effort should be put into discovering if it is a viable fuel source. Seawater (which is what was alluded to as being 'the most abundant resource on earth') comes in different concentrations of salt and contains a number of salts - I'd want to know if, after the 'burning' process, what's left and could the residues be harmful to the environment.

I also reported this story - on the 11th Sept - so you're both late on the job ;o)

My only caviat to the above is that it is a true energy source and not one that creates energy from "nothing". I keep reading these reports that people have figured out how to create perpetual motors or energy. Just isn't gonna happen.

Oh yes, and you DID get to this before I did. Sorry about that :>
