John Kanzius, a former broadcast executive from Pennsylvania, attracted media attention in 2007 upon claims to having developed a way to produce energy by burning saltwater, by means of a radio frequency generator that releases the oxygen and hydrogen from saltwater and create an intense flame. Skeptics propose that the process would consume more energy than it would create, and Kanzius has admitted that this is currently the case, however the specifics of the process are still unreleased while Kanzius applies for a patent.1 He states that the discovery was accidental while researching the use of radio waves for the treatment of cancer.2

Kanzius owns a patent for an Enhanced Systems and Methods for RF-Induced Hyperthermia[3] which describes potential medical uses of radio waves for diseases such as cancer.

DUH. All chemical processes use more energy than it creates. The point is converting an ENORMOUS supply of unusable energy into a slightly smaller supply of usable energy in the most efficient way possible. If this is possible, then great, but I doubt its real.

Also, wikipedia is NOT a qualified source. I’ll try Snopes and see if they have anything on it.

EDIT: Nothing as of yet. They usually put whether its a hoax or real. Where’d you find the story?

Very nice of you. Mr. Green

BTO: why does it not seem feasible? The salt water only requires a small bit of "activation energy" to start the chemical reaction. Then, it’s self-sustaining until the water, salt, or both is completely reacted. You’ve got to admit this is amazing.

Popcorn is not gooey like fat, and also not crunchy like potato chips, but crispy like lettuce which makes it a healthy snack. Popcorn
