Flll your gas tank . . . with saltwater(?)

Boomers will remember the Sixties when the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland, OH caught on fire; it was that polluted. No more . Still, the notion of water bursting into flame is intriguing and quite visual ( 1 2 ).

Touted by some to be akin to an energy-producing perpetual motion machine, a device developed by John Kanzius, a former broadcast executive with a background in physics, burns salt water using a radio wave machine he originally developmed to kill cancer cells. While testing his machine to see if it desalinized water, the water burst into flame, apparently burning the hydrogen liberated from the water. He claims a 76% efficiency rating and has filed patents for the process using saltwater as an alternative fuel. No doubt it's easier to find saltwater in the ocean than oil under desert sands.

Salt's in the news, whatever direction you look! (make sure you see at least one of the videos ( 1 2 ).
