Can RF make salt water burn?
p2pnet news | Off Topic:- The US Food and Drug Administration found ‘reasonable assurance’ that spy-chips – RFID, or radio frequency identification, device are safe.
They have all kinds of positive applications, but a lot of people have serious concerns about them saying they’re potentially dangerous if there implanted into someone’s body for for medical or even security reasons, and may even cause cancer.
“We stand by our implantable products which have been approved by the FDA and/or other U.S. regulatory authorities,” says the company’s chairman and CEO, Scott Silverman.
What else would he say?
Anyway, off topic, slightly, up to 70% of the average adult human body is water, depending on age, gender, body type and how active a person is. And a 50 kilo (about 110 pounds) human has about seven tablespoons of salt in his or her body, says WikiAnswers.
Burning like a candle
Now, an Erie man says he ignited salt water with the radio-frequency generator he’s invented, states the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Post-Gazette.
“John Kanzius, a Washington County native, tried to desalinate seawater with a generator he developed to treat cancer, and it caused a flash in the test tube,” it says, going on:
“Within days, he had the salt water in the test tube burning like a candle, as long as it was exposed to radio frequencies.”
The story has Penn State University chemist Dr Rustum Roy explaining the salt water isn’t burning as such, “despite appearances”. It goes on:
The radio frequency actually weakens bonds holding together the constituents of salt water – sodium chloride, hydrogen and oxygen – and releases the hydrogen, which, once ignited, burns continuously when exposed to the RF energy field.
According to Kanzius, an independent source measured the flame’s temperature, which exceeds 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit, “reflecting an enormous energy output”.
Roy, a founding member of the Materials Research Laboratory and expert in water structure, says Kanzius’ discovery represents “the most remarkable in water science in 100 years,” states the Post-Gazette.
We’re not seriously suggesting people with RFID implants are liable to suddenly burst into flame.
But still …….

Isn’t this, like, a magic source of Hydrogen?

This is not a concern as you need the correct frequency to break up water. This is not magic. Magic is the lack of knowledge.
