Burn salt water instead . . .

Hmmm. He's using radio frequencies to dissociate water into its
elements, hydrogen and oxygen. What becomes of the sodiumn and
chlorine
ions?


The salt just stays in the water and maybe makes it a little saltier.

Not to mention the other elements and compounds found in sea
water. The only thing that's burning here is the hydrogen, either
recombining with the oxygen or after being piped away. And then
there's
the chlorine. Does it recombine with hydrogen instead of sodium and
become HCl aka hydrochloric acid?


The sodium chloride molecules aren't disassociated. Why should they be
unless the RF breaks them up too but they're probably more stable. Most
salts are very stable.


We'll be buring diesel for quite some time, I'm afraid.


Don't be so pessimistic. Producing RF takes very little energy. The
system could be the salvation of mankind. It could be an infinite supply
of almost free energy. If enough hydrogen is produced it can be burned
to produce plenty enough electricity to produce the RF. All it would
take is just a little surplus hydrogen energy and you could have extra
electricity. The perpetual motion machine we all fantasize about.
