New fuel in Salt water that burns

For this you wouldn't need to be buying drinking water. With a little ingenuity you could simply collect rain water and just have to keep salt on hand.

think of what a great weapon this would be, walk up to someone, start zapping and toss a cig on them. <poof>

Energy from people! An you thought people were only good for snack food.
 
It's the possible treatment/cure for cancer that he is working on that shows real potential. The 'fire from saltwater' was just an unintentional project that developed on the side...
 
Both threads on the topic have been merged.
 
But you know with gas reaching upwards of $3 a gallon and predictions of it being $4 or more soon I think its high time.

Do you have any idea how cheap that is compared to the average cost in Europe?

How expensive is gasoline really, when people pull up in the store parking lot, leave their engines running, and go inside for five minutes or fifteen? How expensive is it when there seems to be no effective pressure on drivers to buy fuel-efficient vehicles?

Why don't we have nuclear power providing the kind of percentage of electricity generated as the French? Where are our wind farms? Burning salt water? OK, have fun with the new toy while real solutions are sitting around being ignored.
 
Wait! I just figured it out. Off duty GM salespersons (trained by the same company that provides security to some of our nation's largest malls) had no choice but to assassinate this inventor. Here's the threat- if a car powered by this technology were to accidently drive off a pier, the entire ocean could catch on fire and the world would be destroyed. Boy, that was a close one.
 
Where are our wind farms?

Here's one! Davis, WV.
 
Few and far between. There are places they'd be a natural success, along the coasts. A lot of NIMBY in the business, though -- Not In My BackYard.
 
guy was on local radio yesterday-

they are using the technology for a few things-
he was showing his idea to a friend on how to kill cancer and the guy said he never saw water steam up so fast and asked if he thought about desalinization -

now penn state has the info and is going to continue research-guy at penn state says it is the biggest scientific breakthru in 100 years
 
I think this idea is full of crap. Both water and salt are RESULT of combustion, and have released their energy in the process, you can't make them release any more. Wouldn't be the first time someone came up with the idea of burning variation of water for energy.

I did some reading and I think the idea is that the sodium burns not the H

Sodium burns, but not salt, which is sodium chloride.
 
I'm sure it takes a pretty huge amount of electricity to get the hydrogen out of salt water compared to the amount of energy released upon burning it....

jzmtl, we're aware that this isn't an energy source. :thumbup: I'm not sure if everyone in the world is, but we are.
 
basicly its a 1 step process to separate hydrogen from what i gathered-

the basics are-nanotecs that attach to cancer cells and are then cooked with radio waves-
