Blah blah blah!

Yeah, my first thought was "how much energy does it take to generate the RF field?". They don't mention it, but it would be interesting to see if there is a net gain here.Originally Posted by general default

If I remember correctly......
burning (oxidation) 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O + energy
the reverse
electrolysis 2H2O + energy --> 2H2 + O2
so then
2H2O + HCl + energy --> 2H2 + O2 + HCl --> 2H2O + HCl + energy
In the end, it looks like energy in will equal energy out. But, I think the first law of thermodynamics says something like "You can't get something for nothing". And the second law of thermodynamics say "You can't even break even". So I'm thinking ENERGY IN > energy out. To me, it looks a lot like using an electric motor to turn your generator to make electricity.
Again, IIRC. and YMMV. Next time, try the veal.

Now I gots to un-cross my eyes! I liked physics a lot more than chemistry.
there was a guy who invented a carborater that made a car get 80mpg.
and what happend was a major oil company bought the patent for a LOT of money so that people will continue to consume alot of gas. same thing will most likely happen, if its patented then oil companies will just buy the patent and hold out on it till we run out of oil.

I'm not sure if I agree exactly, but I'll certainly agree that we should be MUCH farther along in efficiency than we are now. Heck, we went from nothing to the Wright Flyer to 450 mph prop planes to VTOL stealth fighters in barely over 100 years, cars should have advanced much, much faster.
Yes, I know that aircraft sometimes advanced out of necessity (world wars help).

You guys are in this together right? I like your sig, monkey
We're all in this together, to quote the Red Green show
Man... I need to see if that's back on.. that show is awesome even though it's Canadian.
And thanks for the compliment... I obviously don't take my own advice though

Red Green:"If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy."
Harold Green: [Reading from a driver's manual] "Two drivers approach an umarked intersection at the same time. Who has the right-of-way?"
Red Green: The guy in the big truck.
Harold Green: No, Uncle Red. It says here, "The guy on the right always has the right-of-way."
Red Green: Unless the other guy has the big truck.
Harold Green: Uncle Red, check the manual.
Red Green: Harold, check the cemetery.
[the lodge members are trying to get into the record books]
Dalton Humphries: What about you, Red? Is there anything you can do to set a world record?
Red Green: Well, I could, but that's kind of between Bernice and I. I'm pretty sure they don't have that category.
[he gestures towards the Guiness Book of World Records in Winston's hand]
Winston Rothschild: [looking at the book] Oh, no, snoring is in here.
I love that show.
What's this thread about? I'd like to contribute.

i used to stay up late to watch that show.

It was gone? I never knew.
I prefer Terrance and Philip. OK. I've never even heard of the Red Green show.

It only goes to show when people can no longer discriminate on the grounds of race, religion, or sexual orientation, they can improvise and still find someone to hate. - Dave Moulton
Find it. Watch it. He always does some kind of project on a car... he once made a retractable hardtop and a limo... mostly with duct tape and power tools

It's a great show!
Here is one just for you TC.
