OK... here is how you could feasably get a positive energy gain. Chemists, let me know if I am in error. We know that water dissociates into its constituent H+ on OH- ions at a certain rate at all times. Add salt to this and we introduce Na+ and Cl- ions to the solution which will combine with the OH- and H+ ions to form HCl and NaOH in minute quantities, but the solution will always attempt to maintain this balance because the dissociation constant requires that these levels be mantained. So, the electomagnetic waves are not actually breaking apart the water, rather they break apart the minute amount of HCl in solution. Since HCl has a much lower bonding energy than that of water it takes less energy to break it up. If it is in fact breaking the HCl bonds the solution will constantly replace the used HCl and we will have a self sustaining reaction. I wonder if chlorine gas is also created in the reaction. Essentially, you would be performing electrolysis on HCl without actually having to create the HCl (if you had to create HCl the hard way, once again you would have a net energy loss.) This is the only way I can possibly see for this reaction to have a net positive energy release.Tom ThomasWed, 12 Sep 2007 20:03:05 -0000http://gcaptain.disqus.com/salt_water_as_a_fuelnbspsource/#comment-1340536I was high when i wrote that crap. Didnt even watch the video... just read that crap above. Anyway, after further consideration it seems that chlorine is not released in the reaction. So, how about a resonance frequence that is haromonic with the "bonding" frequency between the sp2 orbitals causing collapse of the bond? Something like when a light wind destroys a bridge when blowing at the right speed?Tom ThomasThu, 13 Sep 2007 00:33:13 -0000
