Sounds too good to be true but I hope it works out. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you burn this would it not generate CO2 and water?

You don't get CO2, just water. The water molecule is broken into the hydrogen and oxygen atoms
H2O -> H2 + O via the radio waves (or electrolysis, or whatever)
then when the hydogen burns (i.e. recombines with the oxygen) it forms water again.
H2 + O -> H2O
The only problem is that it takes more energy to break apart the water molecule than you get back from burning the hydrogen, so it's a net energy loss.

I knew someone would know. :D Kinda neat, burning water and getting water. Still hope it works out.
Yes Joe I am with you on this, I hope it is something that will work. Radio waves might not be as expensive to produce as some other methods of seperating the Hyd from the water. I could see it be used at maybe power generation. You know gasoline was something no one had any use for until someone developed the internal combustion engine. Only time will tell if anything comes from this.Jogeephus":2q4ywv22 said:
