Saltwater Fuel: The Greatest Energy Discovery in 200 years?

SaltWaterFuel.com is dedicated to tracking the developments of this astounding new energy source, as it moves from the initial discovery, to research, to a limitless energy supply and clean fuel.

John Kanzius had an idea. He thought that radio waves focused on nano-particles attaching to cancer cells might be used to kill them.  He began to experiment, and his results are promising, and beign continued at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Texas.  But along the way, he stumbled upon a stunning, revolutionary idea.

Kanzius was demonstrating how a generator he created heated nanoparticles with radio waves, when an observer  noticed condensation inside the test tube and suggested that he might want to try using his equipment to desalinate water.  So Kanzius put sea water in a test tube, then beamed radio waves on it,  which produced an unexpected spark.  He  struck a match and ignited the water, which continued burning as long as it remained in the radio-frequency field.  In short, he found that when radio waves were aimed at salt water, the salt water actually burned, at very high temperatures, generating energy.

This discovery has generated world wide interest in the possibility of using salt water as a clean burning fuel and power generator.

Many have repeated Kanzius’s findings, including Rustum Roy, a Penn State University chemist, who held a demonstration at the university’s Materials Research.

“It’s true, it works,” Dr. Roy said. “Everyone told me, ‘Rustum, don’t be fooled. He put electrodes in there.’ “  

According to Dr. Roy, the salt water isn’t actually burning. The radio frequency serves to weaken the bonds holding together the basic ingredients of salt water — sodium chloride, hydrogen and oxygen — and to release the hydrogen, which burns continuously when  it is exposed to the radio waves. Kanzius said the flame’s temperature has been measured indepently at 3000 degrees F, which is an astonishing amount of energy output- and from something as basic and omni-present as salt water.

Dr. Roy said Kanzius’ discovery is “the most remarkable in water science in 100 years.”

The process will require time and money to thoroughly investigate, and in particular verifying that the energy output from the flame is consistently greater than the energy input from the radio waves (although all indications are that the energy generated is substantially more than that required, creating the possibility of the radio waves generation being fueled by a small portion of the energy generated through the process it creates.

Roy stated “This is the most abundant element in the world. It is everywhere, Seeing it burn gives me chills.”
