Revision as of 08:38, 14 September 2007

John Kanzius, a former broadcast executive from Erie, Pennsylvania, is the inventor of a method to decompose salt water into oxygen and hydrogen gas by means of a radio frequency generator. The resulting gas burns.

The effect has been successfully reproduced by Rustum Roy, a materials scientist at Pennsylvania State University. According to Roy, "The salt water isn't burning per se, despite appearances. The radio frequencies act to weaken the bonds between the elements that make up salt water, releasing the hydrogen. Once ignited, the hydrogen will burn as long as it is exposed to the frequencies." Roy also said "this is the biggest discovery in 100 years in water research".

The details of the process are still unreleased while Kanzius applies for a patent. He states that the discovery was made accidentally while he was researching the use of radio waves for the treatment of cancer.

Kanzius has applied for four patents, including a patent for an Enhanced Systems and Methods for RF-Induced Hyperthermia, which describes potential medical uses of radio waves for diseases such as cancer. Kanzius' invention involves the usage of radio waves to heat up tiny metal nano-particles injected to the patient and destroys the cancer cells. As of 2007, Steven Curley, M.D. is using the Kanzius RF device for research at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas.

Controversy

Originally Kanzius said the apparatus "in this very early stage of development" needed more energy to produce the gas, than can be obtained by burning the gas (as per the laws of thermodynamics). But according to Sterling D. Allan, on June 6, 2007, Kanzius claimed overunity results (an energy efficiency over 1), after changes to the apparatus, drawing critique from skeptics.
