Is the solution to America's energy needs as simple as a trip to the beach?
The idea is a fascinating one as a Florida man searching for a cancer cure
may have stumbled onto a virtually limitless source of energy: salt water.

John Kanzius, 63, is a broadcast engineer who formerly owned several TV and
radio stations, before retiring in Sanibel Island, Fla.
Five years ago, he was diagnosed with a severe form of leukemia, and began a
quest to find a kinder, gentler way to treat the disease compared to harsh
chemotherapy.
In October 2003, he had an epiphany: kill cancer with radio waves. He then
devised a machine that emits radio waves in an attempt to slay cancerous
cells, while leaving healthy cells unharmed.
His experiments in fighting cancer have become so successful, one physician
was quoted as saying, "We could be getting close to grabbing the Holy
Grail."
(Story continues below)
But in the midst of his experiments as he was trying to take salt out of
water, Kanzius discovered his machine could do what some may have thought
was impossible: turning water into fuel.
"On our way to try to do desalinization, we came up with something that
burns, and it looks in this case that salt water perhaps could be used as a
fuel to replace the carbon footsteps that we've been using all these years,
i.e., fossil fuels," Kanzius said.
If it's for real, the possible ramifications of the discovery are almost
mind-boggling, as cars could be fueled by salt water instead of gasoline,
hydroelectric plants could be built along the shore, and homes could be
heated without worrying about supplies of oil.
"It doesn't have to be ocean salt water," Kanzius said. "It burns just as
well when we add salt to tap water."
Kanzius has partnered with Charles Rutkowski, general manager of Industrial
Sales and Manufacturing, a Millcreek, Pa., company that builds the
radio-wave generators.
"I've done this [burning experiment] countless times and it still amazes
me," Rutkowski told the Erie Times-News. "Here we are paying $3 a gallon for
gas, and this is a device that seems to turn salt water into an alternative
fuel."
Kanzius has been told it's actually hydrogen that's burning, as his machine
generates enough heat to break down the chemical bond between hydrogen and
oxygen that makes up water.
"I have never heard of such a thing," Alice Deckert, Ph.D., chairwoman of
Allegheny College's chemistry department, told the Times-News. "There
doesn't seem to be enough energy in radio waves to break the chemical bonds
and cause that kind of reaction."
Thus far, Kanzius' work has not received extensive national publicity, but
has been featured on several local television news programs, including
WPBF-TV in West Palm Beach, Fla., WSEE-TV in Erie, Pa., and WKYC-TV in
Cleveland.
"We discovered that if you use a piece of paper towel as a wick, it lights
every single time and you can start it and stop it at will by turning the
radio waves on and off," Kanzius told the Times-News as he watched a test
tube of salt water burn.
"And look, the paper itself doesn't burn," he added. "Well, it burns but the
paper is not consumed."
Kanzius said he hasn't decided whether to share his fuel discovery with
government or private business, though he'd prefer a federal grant to
develop it.
"I'm afraid that if I join up with some big energy company, they will say it
doesn't work and shelve it, even if it does work," Kanzius told the paper.
Online skeptics are throwing cold water on the idea, saying the laws of
science pose some problems:
"It takes more electricity to split the water into hydrogen and oxygen than
you get back in energy by burning the hydrogen and oxygen to recreate water
and get the heat. So there is no new 'source' of power, since you are just
converting electricity into a lesser amount of energy. You could get more
heat energy out of electricity by running it through a blow dryer and THAT
is not considered a 'new' energy source."
"Basic chemistry: the amount of energy required to free the hydrogen from
the oxygen in H2O is more than the energy released when the hydrogen and
oxygen recombine and burn. The flame is clearly the color of ionized sodium
from the salt. Whatever the actual specific explanation, which they don't
bother to approach in the video, water and salt don't burn without puting
more energy into the reaction than you get out. Turning a lot of radio
energy into a little heat and light is no breakthrough."
"Using RF energy, or any other energy to first break down the hydrogen and
oxygen water molecule into its constituent H2 and O2 molecules, and then
burning the products is old technology. ... However, if the RF H2O cracking
method can be developed such that it is a superior way over current methods
used to produce H2, which can subsequently be used in H2 fuel-cell
automobiles for example, then THAT might be of value as well."
