I think you may have missed the point of my response. The people I was poking fun at were the doom and gloom naysayers who criticize it if you can't stick a key in it and go 100 mph right out of the blocks. I am saying that if a person like Ben Franklin and others actually listened to the critics, we'd all still be living in caves. A critic has never accomplished a damn thing.Every year efficiency in just about everything gets better, insurance being the exception.

The flat earth mentality pre-dates the Scientific Method. No one tried to prove the world was flat, it was just accepted. The laws of thermodynanics on the other hand have been proven and challenged by literally millions of people. But if you have evidence to the contray, please step up and accept your Nobel Prize.

An alternative emission-free energy source would be neat, this isn't it. First off, it would be a perpetul Motion machine. Since the fuel and exhaust are both water, you could throw a condensor on the exhaust pipe and just return it to the fuel tank, a completely closed system that also generates heat. Totally violates the laws of thermodynamics. The white substance is probably either salt from the solution or sodium hydroxide (NaOH) which could be a bi-product also, or both.

BugNugs The white crusty substance at the top of the test tube is... a piece of a paper towel, heard John mention it in another clip. I won't dive into this debate, not enough education to open my mouth. But still, alternative, emission-free energy sources put a seed of interest in ones mind.

Temperature is in no way indictive to the amount of energy or power available. It's indicitive of the quality of the energy, but not the quantity.

the salt emagagin energie and distribute it in ours cells throow the lymphatiques canals. We say thar th liquide in the belly of a pregnet woman is the same composition of sae salt water. maby this t he base of life

Can't defy 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. With the combination of solar power or wind the possiblies could be limitless.

Fortunatly this would only happen in a movie. This process isn't self perpetuating, so the second the radio wave generator is turned off, the flame goes away.

That's actually pretty genius.

I can see the Batman episode coming: Some evil villain gets his hands on this radio wave generator and uses it to burn all the water in the oceans! Ahhhhhh! The fire reaches major ports and burns them to the ground, but not beore spreading the fire throughout every square acre of every landmass on the planet! Oh no, what ever shall we do? I'm too cynical, aren't I? :P
