You may have seen the stories going around the net today about a scientist who’s discovered how to burn salt water, and that the DOE is going to investigate this as an alternative source of energy. Let me explain why this is stupid.
Dr. Roy said the salt water isn’t burning per se, despite appearances. The radio frequency actually weakens bonds holding together the constituents of salt water — sodium chloride, hydrogen and oxygen — and releases the hydrogen, which, once ignited, burns continuously when exposed to the RF energy field. Mr. Kanzius said an independent source measured the flame’s temperature, which exceeds 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit, reflecting an enormous energy output.
Let me break this down for you, serious science style:
