Tired of rising gas prices? How does filling your car’s fuel tank with tap water and a pound of salt sound to you? It sounds ludicrous right now, but one day it might be reality.
Pennsylvania cancer researcher John Kanzius discovered a process to burn salt water using a radio frequency generator. According to some scientists, his discovery could potentially be the most important discovery in the field of water science in more than 100 years.
Kanzius accidentally discovered the process for burning saltwater when he tried to desalinate water using a radio frequency generator in his lab. The radio frequencies weaken the bond between the elements that comprise salt water, releasing flammable hydrogen. The hydrogen will burn as long as the exposure to radio frequencies continues to release more hydrogen from the water. The process sounds simple, but I am sure there is a lot more to it than that!
Researchers are not sure if this will be a feasible fuel source for cars or other large machines. But, one thing is certain. If this process is refined to the point of practical use, our world will not hurt for resources – salt water is the most abundant resource on earth! Kanzius is currently trying to get research funding from the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense.
Can you imagine just pulling over to the side of the road and pumping salt water into your car every time you need a fill up? Or better yet, waiting until you get home and using the hose in your front yard? This discovery could revolutionize the way humans utilize combustion engines and other forms of power.
This is a very interesting and exciting discovery.
