My wireless burns seawater. Go figure.Blogs. Love them, hate them, there's no denying it- they are an anagram of "globs". That may be one of the reasons they are loved and hated so, but I doubt it.
Regardless, I've seen them used for various purposes. Personal news, opinions, announcements, and (can you believe it) incoherent rambles. Today, however, I have something to say that does not involve boasting about my new 360 or angsting about the recent births and deaths in my family. ... Oh. Anyway... that something is the remarkable discovery by a cancer research scientist in Erie: when exposed to certain radio frequencies, saltwater releases hydrogen that can be burned for as long as it is exposed to these frequencies. The flames reached 1500 degrees centigrade, fueled only by salt water, and has been celebrated, quite rightly, as the most remarkable and important water discover in one hundred years. This is a YouTube video of one channel's shockingly poor coverage: Obviously, it has been addressed as a possible source of clean, renewable energy. But is this really a viable application? Without immediate access to the data (or even a non-sensationalist report) it is difficult to say. The rule of thumb is that "if it is too good to be true, it probably is". Water is being broken down into hydrogen, and when that hydrogen is burned, water is produced. Something's not right here. The energy being released during combustion must have been put into the molecules during the initial breaking of the bonds of the water molecules. That's thermodynamics. If I remember correctly, the energy required to break H-O bonds is approximately 492 kilojoules per mole, whereas that released in the exothermic reaction O2 (g) + 2H2 (g) = 2H2O (g) is only 286 kilojoules per mole. Whether something more than this is going on in the new discovery, I cannot say. But it seems to me that this is not the great solution that the media claims it to be, before it forgets that it ever happened and moves on to other things. But that makes it no less an important discovery, and even if it is not the success we hope, I know we will find some use for it, be it a more efficient method of producing Hydrogen, or otherwise. It matters not what the media, skeptics or sensationalists say- this is an amazing discovery. But I think the oil barons can sleep easy a little while longer yet. Here's hoping Professor Kanzius' next discovery is the cure for cancer he's been looking for. |
