Journalists mostly cannot understand science.
The part of the brain that intuitively roots out perpetual motion hoaxes
is just not there.

Look at the crazy crap going on with them believing in global warming
and light rail. It is enough to destroy society.

You may have heard about "burning Sea Water"?

"This could be a possible breakthrough, depending on how much energy it
takes to separate the hydrogen from the water compared to how much
hydrogen can be extracted."

"There have been a flurry of new articles this week on John Kanzius RF
device for burning sal****er. None suggest, that the process creates
more energy than it consumes."

This one got it right, and then threw in some BS

"though practical applications of the technology remain uncertain and
it's unlikely to be a source of cheap energy."


"Water can also be split into hydrogen using electricity, in a process
known as hydrolysis. But this is inefficient and requires large amounts
of power.

So researchers would like to find ways to isolate hydrogen with minimal
energy and no fossil fuels, Kammen said. (Related: "New Process Could
Help Make Hydrogen Fuel Affordable" [August 27, 2004].) "

"They subsequently quietly reported that they surpassed 100% efficiency,
which would mean that the system is somehow harnessing environmental
energy such as from the zero point or some other yet-to-be discovered
phenomenon."

Cold Fusion anyone?


Doesn't look that way,

Having read a lot of the "news" and discussions about this,
and watched several of teh video reports,
it looks like something interesting is happening here.

175 watts on the demo set up.

But no info about frequency.
If it's truly a molecular resonance thing then

1) the power level might make sense.

2) the right frequency may be even more impressive
(unless it's already at the correst frequency)

All in all, it does look like something fun going on here.
