Flame - Hydrogen gas - sea water + RF energy - electrical power -

That is an enormously complicated way to burn diesel.

I did work similar to this in grad school. Basically, it uses
electricity to produce hydrogen but I am not sure it is any more
efficient than the normal electrolysis. The RF produces a high e
field producing discharges in the water surface thus making hydrogen.
We tried it to break up pollutants but the RF does not go very far
into the water so is sorta innefficient. What he REALLY needs is a
pulsed electrical discharge in the water because that produces a
volumetric effect rather than a surface effect. This requires either
a rotating spark gap or some fancy solid state HV, high current
switches. I'd say, "Not much new here".

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.

I don't think this is what he is doing. If that was the case it
wouldn't need to be salt water. Distilled fresh water would be
preferred. They also said that it burns at 300 degrees F. Hydrogen
burns at less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit. He isn't just separating
out oxygen and hydrogen and burning the hydrogen. Something else is

Yeah, that was my question... also, how much power does it take to
generate the RF? Combustion of hydrogen is powerful but then hydrogen
is also a tricky fuel to handle... hence the interest in developing
"fuel cells" which essentially allow it to react at lower temps &
pressures, producing energy in usable form without the Hindenburg-
style eruption.


.... The RF produces a high e

How about using an atomized mist into an RF chamber?

Electric dissociation of hydrogen from water has been done since the
1700s. Certainly "nothing new"!!

I've forgotten most of this stuff (it was in the mid-80s). Basically,
the ions cannot respond to the RF but the very light electrons can so
it is the eelctrons in the water doing the work and being heated. A
mist might work but I remember that the discharge was very close to
the electrodes and fell off rapidly as you got away from them. This
guy probably has electrodes very close together.

Edgar,
If I remember my High School history going back a few centuries, English
Common Law gave you the "right" to keep and bear arms. Politicians
relatively recently took that right away from you.
A common misconception is that our Constitution grants us rights, but it
was written in a vain effort to help protect the rights we already had -
quite a lot of which was adopted from Common Law. And like your
politicians, all of our's will do whatever it takes to take away our
rights as evidenced by the very large number of attempts starting from
the time the Constitution was ratified and since. But since we tend to
be more stubborn than you it will take them only slightly longer.
Don't know if you have the same problem over there, but here we have a
gazillion judges, including members of the Supreme Court, that believe
the function of the court is to cicumvent the lawmakers (who are
criminal enough) by legislating from the bench to take our rights away.

That makes sense, since the field strength drops off so fast as a
function of distance. How about emitting RF thru a screen or flat
plane emitter; maybe there is some promise a modulated fuel cell with
water mist or vapor pushed thru a carefully controlled RF chamber,
then re-converted almost immediately? If there is a net energy gain in
the reaction, then it should be much better than any hydrogen fuel
cell I've heard of.... Get it worked out, I'll draft a letter to the
BP board, I'm a stockholder.... you can split the royalties with me.

Oh they burned alright, but being wrapped in a highly flammable material
made the fire all that much worse. The disaster may well have been avoided
entirely had they not put that on the covering.

Hydrogen dissipates quite rapidly. That and the amount needed for most

Why not at the molecular level? Just because, to date, it hasn't been

IIRC you're right in that the skin caught fire first... most likely
theory is that it was sabotage. However the hydrogen lift cells burned
very quickly, faster than the skin.... which is why the film/photos
show a burst of flame from the nose while much of the skin was still
intact.


Hydrogen dissipates quite rapidly. That and the amount needed for most
vehicle applications presents nowhere near the risks of an airship with

Depends on who you're talking to. There are a lot of difficulties
handling hydrogen as an industrial gas; certainly hydrogen fuel
systems can be made tight & safe. But they'll be more complex & more
expensive than a diesel fuel system... and look how many people have
problems with those ;)

Avoid addressing? It isn't my job to "address the issue." It is the
job of the scientist involved to propose a source for the energy
required to release the hydrogen from its bond with oxygen.

On the surface of it, the energy comes from the RF, so there is no magic
source. Although the burning has been verified, there has been little
disclosed about the energy efficiency. However, Kanzius has already
admitted (contrary to an early statement) that the efficiency is really
less than one so this is very unlikely to be useful as an "energy source."


Why not at the molecular level? Just because, to date, it hasn't been
done does not validate the idea that it can never be done. If molecules
can be arranged in a more efficient form then energy can be obtained. If
the arrangement can be done in an energy efficient manner than there can

Same thing as in fusion but on a molecular level.


Yes, its called chemistry. And while it was considered magic 500 years
ago, its fairly well understood nowadays, and the Supreme Court even
allows it to be taught in public schools.

It is possible that Kanzius has discovered a new phenomenon that could
lead to interesting applications. In that context, this could be really
big news. But he did not solve the world's energy problem.

We never had the _right_ to bear arms like in the US constitution.
After the security tightening all licensed holders of shotgun or other gun
permits had to show real need to be allowed to keep them. Reputable gunshop
businesses were forced to close and a couple of owners of them committed
suicide as their livelihood was taken away without compensatioon.
Many shotgun owners like myself voluntarily gave up our shotguns to the
police for destruction because for the sake of the occasional vermin shoot
we could not be arsed to cope with all the bureaucracy. But the criminals
did not give up their guns and gun crime in UK has increased ever since.
All this stems from a dreadful gun massacre in a school by a person against
whom the police had been warned but had failed to act. They had the power
but did not use it.
Then the politicians got into the act because after such a tragedy
politicians feel that they have to be seen to be doing something so they act
to penalise the law abiding population and the criminals carry on and
progress.
Politicians are the same everywhere. Not my favourite kind of people.

of the visibale flames were from other substances burning, like the
Aluminized Doped Fabric of the Outer Covering, and the Rubberized
GasBags, themselves.

Me who at least can read a ColoromMeter......


How do you know the flames were yellow, when the pictures were all
monochrome?

The dirigible burned so spectacularly not because of hydrogen, but because
of the HIGHLY flammable paint they put on the FABRIC covering.

A theory that Mythbusters seems to refute. It was a hydrogen fire. Hydrogen
goes "Whoooosh!"


You can dissolve aluminum in a solution of lye,sodium hydroxide, and
generate hydrogen. A dry cleaning bag will lift about a quarter pound.
You can attach a fuse, and send off the balloon, and when the hydrogen
goes whoosh it will ignite the bag. No surprise there.

You never heard of nuclear fusion? That's more energy out than in. ot


Not really. Mass disappears. And it only works with elements lighter
than Iron. In time the universe will consist of pure iron, and if you
want to call that more out than in so be it.
It's
not so far-fetched to believe if it can be done at an atomic level then
why not at a molecular level.


Yes it is so farfetched.
