Beats lighting farts. I wonder what the byproduct would be . . . salt? Just think, you would never have to buy salt ever again. Seriously. You would think that this guy would have shown his idea to someone other than a "plastics" guy. If this really has merrit, it would rock the oil and gas industry. Of course, I just paid three bucks for a bottle of water at the airport. That's more expensive than gas. My point is that I'm sure that someone will figure out a way to make this as equally expensive as gasoline. I know, I know, its a defeatist attitude, but I just can't help myself. Interesting video.

Didnt even watch the video... just read that crap above. Anyway, after further consideration it seems that chlorine is not released in the reaction. So, how about a resonance frequence that is haromonic with the "bonding" frequency between the sp2 orbitals causing collapse of the bond? Something like when a light wind destroys a bridge when blowing at the right speed? I was high when i wrote that crap. Didnt even watch the video… just read that crap above.

OK... here is how you could feasably get a positive energy gain. Chemists, let me know if I am in error. We know that water dissociates into its constituent H+ on OH- ions at a certain rate at all times. Add salt to this and we introduce Na+ and Cl- ions to the solution which will combine with the OH- and H+ ions to form HCl and NaOH in minute quantities, but the solution will always attempt to maintain this balance because the dissociation constant requires that these levels be mantained. So, the electomagnetic waves are not actually breaking apart the water, rather they break apart the minute amount of HCl in solution. Since HCl has a much lower bonding energy than that of water it takes less energy to break it up. If it is in fact breaking the HCl bonds the solution will constantly replace the used HCl and we will have a self sustaining reaction. I wonder if chlorine gas is also created in the reaction. Essentially, you would be performing electrolysis on HCl without actually having to create the HCl (if you had to create HCl the hard way, once again you would have a net energy loss.) This is the only way I can possibly see for this reaction to have a net positive energy release. Water to energy? OK… here is how you could feasably get a positive energy gain.

Where is this energy going to come from in a vehicle? Let's keep the laws of physics in mind here. Why is no one asking the basic question about the amount of energy used to produce the Radio waves?
