This is from a few sources. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencet...anging-process-power-jets-boats-seawater.html Has flown radio controlled plane using 'sea fuel' in first test of new fuel New technique can capture 92% of CO2 in water to create jet fuel Could be used to create fuel for any vehicle without having to modify engines http://www.nrl.navy.mil/media/news-...t-takes-flight-with-fuel-from-the-sea-concept Also... the Navy just unveiled a rail gun... http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2014/apr/07/navy-railgun-sandiego-display-july/
its why I sourced it in multiple places. It seemed amazing. but google... navy to use seawater for fuel you will see its now all over the net and it had been spoken of in late 2012 http://auto.howstuffworks.com/fuel-...s/can-us-navy-turn-seawater-into-jet-fuel.htm In 2003, an inventor named John Kanzius was working on a method of using radio waves to target and destroy cancer cells without affecting nearby healthy skin. A few years later, he discovered that his machine could generate electricity by using the radio waves to zap salt water -- after hitting the water with a concentrated radio wave blast, the water became flammable, igniting off a lit match. The water lost its flammability, however, as soon as the radio waves were stopped. Kanzius' machine achieves this effect by shaking up the composition of the salt water. Salt water (as if you couldn't have figured this out already) is made from two ingredients: salt (sodium chloride) and water (hydrogen and oxygen). When the radio waves penetrate the water, the hydrogen molecules are shaken loose and their normal properties of flammability become easier to access. One of the tricks to harnessing energy in general -- not just igniting salt water -- is to make sure the process can capture more energy than it takes to operate all the required machinery to extract the energy. Otherwise, the energy generation will be operating at a net loss and there's no point in doing that since the process won't be sustainable. It's actually a little more complicated equation than simply measuring energy expended vs. energy generated. There's also the environmental aspect -- how much pollution occurred to create and operate the machinery, and is the newly captured energy clean enough to be worth it? Are the resources gone for good, or are they renewable? And what about the ongoing costs of operation -- the maintenance? The human labor required? So far, Kanzius' radio wave apparatus can't meet those necessary thresholds. It was (and still is) a noteworthy achievement, but other innovators have made progress over the past 10 years, too.
