not impressed; although the cancer killer idea makes sense

vegetable oil works in diesel engines with a special filter

Indeed, and you don't need an RF machine that plugs into an electrical outlet to make it work.

not impressed?

as long as the cost of manufacturing his machine is not cost prohibitive then i dont see any way that this deosnt solve the energy problem... yes i guess we could run out of water eventualkly... in the next millenia... hopefully by then we wil have a new way to generate energy...

vegetal oil still generates a level of carbon monoxide; and also carbon monoxide is not present in nature in raw form; it is processed one way or another... there is an energy cost to create vegetal oil.
it is like running on ethanol.... there is also an energy cost to creating ethanol... including also the farming of corn...

How does one power the machine that makes the salt water burn?

we will use a battery just like we do now for spark plugs

the same battery you would use to power spark plugs for the veggie oil engine; and the same battery used to process hydrogen...

How many watts are needed to make machine burn the salt water?

probably not much at all as it is not the wattager or amperage that is heating the water.... it is a radio signal that does it.
In which case only the radio transmitters has to be powered which not necessarily needs much as you can see right now there are walkie talkies that transmit large distances (which needs more power the further it needs to reach) poewerd on 2 double As.
Finally this is not the final product; just a great idea with a working prototype; i am sure the smart people in the auto industry can implement his invention in a an efficient cost effective way... if they wanted to (big if)

The issue that wasn't tackled in any of the reports was how efficient the system was. How much energy did he put into the machine and how much does he get out by burning the hydrogen?

ask yourself why ozone readings are taken either at the north or south pole?

why because there isnt supposed to be any ozone layer there. without any vegatation

if they took it over NY city youd see NOTHING does any irepareable damage to the ozone layer

producing ethanol costs more then petroleum

stop believing everything you read and use your heads

why assume an RF machine burning Salt water is more efficient then straight electricity to a car

Exactly. I think that's what I was going for.
Seems to me that today's hybrid cars are more efficient than a giant battery rolling down the hill carrying a tank of salt water would be.
