Could Salt Water Solve Our Energy Needs?
Here's an amazing video about a recent discovery by John Kanzius, a cancer researcher who was experimenting with a radiation machine he built and realized he could use it to burn salt water. The discovery is "the most remarkable in water science in 100 years," said Rustum Roy, a Penn State University chemist who was invited to verify the findings. Essentially, irradiating the salt water causes its elements to separate and ignites the hydrogen. The discovery has some pretty amazing implications for energy policy if it could ever be replicated on an industrial scale.
