Filling a test tube with salt water from a canal in his back yard, Kanzius placed the tube and a paper towel in the machine and turned it on. Suddenly, the paper towel ignited, lighting up the tube like it was a wax candle.
"Pretty neat, huh?" Kanzius asked WPBF's Jon Shainman.
Kanzius performed the experiment without the paper towel and got the same result -- the saltwater was actually burning.
The former broadcasting executive said he showed the experiment to a handful of scientists across the country who claim they are baffled at watching salt water ignite.
Kanzius said the flame created from his machine reaches a temperature of around 3,000 degrees Farenheit. He said a chemist told him that the immense heat created from the machine breaks down the hydrogen-oxygen bond in the water, igniting the hydrogen.
"You could take plain salt water out of the sea, put it in containers and produce a violent flame that could heat generators that make electricity, or provide other forms of energy," Kanzius said.
He said engineers are currently experimenting with him in Erie, Pa. in an attempt to harness the energy. They've built an engine that, when placed on top of the flame, chugged along for two minutes, Kanzius told WPBF.

If it is legit, then that changes everything.
The amount of seawater on earth is 300 million cubic miles.
For all practical intents and purposes, limitless.
And best of all, no nation can ever hope to control it.

But the fire could easily run a steam engine. Sounds pretty environmentally sound. Let's hope the emissions are just water vapour, or something like that.

"I’ll see your Sugar/Starch to Hydrogen for Vehicles
And raise you a water to fire" was only meant to be a gosh.
I watched one of the videos at the sight and interest at the research level has ebeen "sparked"

The logical side of my brain see that gaping hole and has to run it up the flagpole. Useing this technology, and a Sterling engine, I can see great things here. If there is a surplus of energy emittted from this reaction.
"And raise you a water to fire" was only meant to be a gosh."
Of course, and I took it as such. Because I like to poke holes in things that are new and untested, doesn't mean I don't see the potential.

Man could i have ever of used that kind of thinking growing up
My fear is that the idea will get buried ot the inventor will
The monied interest have much to "loose" when we all start looking at what is good for humanity AND the planet ...
Well? i can drean can't I?

start imagining anything is possible! Because it is....

You can release whatever energy there is in the water, but you cannot "gain" any.

True. What was meant of course, is that the energy put into the system is greater than the useful energy that is output from the system.

The problem is that, for one thing, we don't need more heat in the world, secondly, no matter how the energy is produced, the reactions will always be the same, and cancel out the benefits.
There ain't no "win-win", regardless of the promises of warped economists, only "win-pay". We have to pay for our lunches, no matter how it is produced.
Therefore, the only solution is to reduce energy use, not to try to invent new sources, as they won't be of any help.
I remember the days, when nuclear energy was first developed, still have some magazines from the time, with the predictions that electricity will become so cheaply produced that it won't be worth reading the meters.
How about radioactive golf balls that could be found in the grass with Geiger counters ? That was one of the great inventions too.

So we're going to have millions of salt shakers trundling down the road, dropping bits of salt everywhere?
It'll make the winter driving easier, but our cars will all rust. We'll have to build them out of aluminum or something if this takes off.
