2. Amazing

I hope it is true. Energy is actually everywhere - profit drives our current view of things, not reality.

5. Google him...I really don't know what to think.

Apparently he has convinced some influential people.

6. Takes more energy to run RF generator

than you get back from burning hydrogen and oxygen after separating water molecule. Cute lab trick-net energy loss, you don't get something for nothing.

7. no no no - you simply excite the flux capacitor to extract energy from

the luminescent aether.

8. However, add sunlight and PVCs to power the electrolysis

and use a fuel cell to convert it into electricity, and you DO have something. You have a closed system, PVCs powering you by day and using the excess for electrolysis, the fuel cell powering you by night.

No more battery life and disposal problems.

But no, I don't think much of this guy's idea.

3. I stumbled on that one too. Fell out of my chair.

Dude was looking for a cure for cancer.

There's a nice little article on it here http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:John_Kanzius_Produces_Hydrogen_from_Salt_Water_Using_Radio_Waves

4. It looks like the energy is actually coming from the RF generator.

9. Not this stuff again.

The fuel? Nothing more than salt water.

Sure, if you completely ignore the fact that RF generators require some sort of energy input. They don't run on fairy dust after all.

He's electrolyzing salt water. We did that in high school chemistry decades ago.
