only the area the wave could reach would ignite. However this could be a big area mattering on strength of the transmitter and how much of the wave is lost per segment of water.

I am most interested in seeing if this device can set a larger thing than a beaker on fire.

yeah I know. I am looking for that info also. It appears to be plugged into a 120 watt household power socket... but does it use it all? or only a portion?

This is not basic physics however, is it?

This is a harmonic resonance which is making the atoms desire to break connection on their own, ergo it has a little bit of different rules than normal. 9000 degrees is pretty hot water btw

"This is not basic physics however, is it?"

True but unless I've missed something even the most advanced physics is governed by the Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy.  Matter and Energy cannot be created or destroyed so unless this process can convert matter into energy the maximum energy output could only be equal to the energy input and that requires 100% efficiency of the process.

I admit it's been a while since I opened a physics textbook but I'm fairly certain that remains a limitation.

What is the defined make up of a radio wave You_Fool?

And where did I even say 100% efficiency?

And why the obvious flame attack? Can The Yell please step on this rude attack pls?

What we have here is an interesting change in science, with an interesting story.

It is 100% new in science, no one else has done it yet, and it has interesting applications, but we will not know more until more information is applied.

This is an application of a wave disrupting the foundation of the bond between the atoms. It also happens to heat either the water or the resulting gases, or the salt I guess... to a combustion level, or triggers combustion on it's own. This seems to be rather unique in and of itself also.

Finally it goes also to say that waves can be interesting. Some waves break up upon contact with solids, some waves bend (like light), some waves reflect, some waves lose strength but continue, and some waves will suffer attrition.

The waves also will have a barrier distance where most of it will be decayed, if not utterly, to uselessness. But the question remains can these waves affect a larger area than a test tube? How much bigger? Some waves can very effectively be sent power wise in real life, but some are extremely costly.

The topic was meant in humor, your blatant attack however seems to not be writ in humor.

My humor is because the guy is curing cancer with a novel new idea and his stuff also seems to be possibly a new power method as well.

Similar things have been don e before Flint, cold fusion? that used simple salt water as well...

Radio waves and their great properties still doesn't change the fact you can't break the laws of thermodynamics, no matter how much you try. Until there is more proof on how this works I am going to be sceptical, it is the best way to be... otherwise you get the cold fusion fiasco all over again...

It is more people have tried to claim all sorts of wonderful things that went against the laws of thermodynamics, and each time science (thermodynamics) have won, that is why they are so great, they are never wrong, well not yet.

ALso my mind says "science is right, the laws of thermodynamics hold"

So far there has been very little about this that shows that the laws are not holding... he could be putting in more energy than he is getting out, it could be many things....

...Does anyone remember the "Water Powered Car" I posted last year? Or the Water Powered Cutting Torch. the year before? What happened to them?

I hate to say this (I was really behind this one) but something is not right here.

And then comes the question: what brought the god(s) out from nothing?

well, part of the resume of being a god is being above nature/natural laws. hence the uncreated creator, unmoved mover, uncaused cause stuff

Not to mention that according to special relativity and biblical principle - God is in all places at once, meaning infinite speed, meaning infinitely beyond the speed of light, meaning infinite time stretch... in both directions :-p

Not saying that's the way it is, just the way it could be - mostly for entertainment value
