“An Erie cancer researcher has found a way to burn salt water, a novel invention that is being touted by one chemist as the “most remarkable” water science discovery in a century.
John Kanzius happened upon the discovery accidentally when he tried to desalinate seawater with a radio-frequency generator he developed to treat cancer. He discovered that as long as the salt water was exposed to the radio frequencies, it would burn.
The discovery has scientists excited by the prospect of using salt water, the most abundant resource on earth, as a fuel.”

Uhm, let’s see here. You’re going to generate electric power to run the radio transmitter, by burning salt water, to heat a boiler to operate a turbine? I see a thermodynamic problem here. Even at 100% efficiency for each step, that’s not going to work, unless the radio/saltwater interaction is tapping into some heretofore unknown energy source.
