Cancer research –> Radio Frequencies –> Burning Salt Water

Three things that seemingly have nothing to do with each other, but John Kanzius stumbled on a link between them. While trying to do his own private research on ways to battle cancer, he was working with radio frequencies to attack cancer cells. What he found was that the radio frequencies he was using separated the hydrogen and oxygen from salt water, enough to hold a constant flame above a test tube filled only with the salt water.

Discovered just as most great inventions through time: while researching something completely different, someone stumbles on something completely new and unrelated.

The only thing I wonder about is the same I wonder about the other guy who ran his car on water recently, it’s (sort-of) conservation of energy. Or rather, does it take more energy to get the “fuel” out of the water than is obtained from burning it as a fuel?

Carbon Dioxide turned into fuel

Looks like there is a chance that gasoline may be able to be produced from Carbon Dioxide. That is, efficiently. Sure they can do it now, but it takes more energy to crank out the gas than ever can be utilized from the fuel. From this article, they are making methane, butane, etc. already at very very feasible temperatures (300 degrees) and pressures (100 psi). Hell you could almost make it in your kitchen.

As I read earlier about another article I’m going to post (when I find it again) on HardOCP: “Hell, if it did work, the oil companies would have already offed him by now.”
