How on earth does that work? o.o

Because that sounds pretty awesome....and, honestly, radio frequency shouldn't be too hard to get, so why is it a secret?

This is ordinary microwave-induced electrolytic decomposition.

See: Commercial hydrogen gas production by electrolysis of water while being subjected to microwave energy
United States Patent 4265721

Patent pdf here: Link2

There is no new science in microwave-induced electrolytic decomposition. It does not break Faraday's Laws of Electrolysis.

But the way it is being hyped as miraculous for TV reminds me of the Mad Frenchman Naudin, and that Italian humbug Rossi.

My infallible Spirit Guide had this to say during our regular morning communion: "Heap big bullshit. Give I fire water!"

Do it with visible light range EM at decent yield and I'll be impressed.

I expect it works by heating up the water in a way that increases the conductivity so more hydrogen can be produced for a given electrode area and voltage.

I am with Conondrum on this. Perhaps the radio waves just work like an induction heater and cause eddy currents to flow making hydrogen?

This is great, but how could you power an engine with it? The salt water cannot be simply ignited, it needs radio waves. I guess it is possible, but the radio waves take electricity. You could just use the electricity for electrolysis without the need for radio waves which i assume would be more expensive.

However, if it requires less power in radio waves than does electrolysis, this could be good.

It's rather amusing how much hype the news media creates over something that apparently even isn't new.
