Roy . its worse than that, the media didnt report on it because they
believed there may be some credability to what the guy did. They did because
it is news, becuse there are so many thousands of other people out there
that dont have a clue about basic scientific fundamentals. They did it
because the world is in such a panic about energy reserves that people want
to hear this junk. The media takes no responsibility for filtering out the
garbage.

Yet another sad commentary on the sorry state of science education in this
country. Not so much the "inventor" as the dupes who have such a poor
understanding of basic fundamental principles that they believe it and
report it as news.

Water burns!
Man looking for cancer cure hopes to solve energy crisis

Is the solution to America's energy needs as simple as a trip to the
beach?
The idea is a fascinating one as a Florida man searching for a cancer
cure
may have stumbled onto a virtually limitless source of energy: salt
water.

John Kanzius, 63, is a broadcast engineer who formerly owned several TV
and
radio stations, before retiring in Sanibel Island, Fla.
Five years ago, he was diagnosed with a severe form of leukemia, and
began a
quest to find a kinder, gentler way to treat the disease compared to
harsh
chemotherapy.
In October 2003, he had an epiphany: kill cancer with radio waves. He
then
devised a machine that emits radio waves in an attempt to slay cancerous
cells, while leaving healthy cells unharmed.
His experiments in fighting cancer have become so successful, one
physician
was quoted as saying, "We could be getting close to grabbing the Holy
Grail."
But in the midst of his experiments as he was trying to take salt out of
water, Kanzius discovered his machine could do what some may have thought
was impossible: making water burn.
"On our way to try to do desalinization, we came up with something that
burns, and it looks in this case that salt water perhaps could be used as
a
fuel to replace the carbon footsteps that we've been using all these
years,
i.e., fossil fuels," Kanzius said.
The possible ramifications of the discovery are almost mind-boggling, as
cars could be fueled by salt water instead of gasoline, hydroelectric
plants could be built along the shore, and homes could be heated without
worrying about supplies of oil.
"It doesn't have to be ocean salt water," Kanzius said. "It burns just as
well when we add salt to tap water."
Kanzius has partnered with Charles Rutkowski, general manager of
Industrial
Sales and Manufacturing, a Millcreek, Pa., company that builds the
radio-wave generators.
"I've done this [burning experiment] countless times and it still amazes
me," Rutkowski told the Erie Times-News. "Here we are paying $3 a gallon
for gas, and this is a device that seems to turn salt water into an
alternative fuel."
Kanzius has been told it's actually hydrogen that's burning, as his
machine
generates enough heat to break down the chemical bond between hydrogen
and
oxygen that makes up water.
"I have never heard of such a thing," Alice Deckert, Ph.D., chairwoman of
Allegheny College's chemistry department, told the Times-News. "There
doesn't seem to be enough energy in radio waves to break the chemical
bonds
and cause that kind of reaction."
Thus far, Kanzius' discovery has not received extensive national
publicity,
but has been featured on several local television news programs,
including
WPBF-TV in West Palm Beach, Fla., WSEE-TV in Erie, Pa., and WKYC-TV in
Cleveland.
"We discovered that if you use a piece of paper towel as a wick, it
lights
every single time and you can start it and stop it at will by turning the
radio waves on and off," Kanzius told the Times-News as he watched a test
tube of salt water burn.
"And look, the paper itself doesn't burn," he added. "Well, it burns but
the
paper is not consumed."
Kanzius said he hasn't decided whether to share his fuel discovery with
government or private business, though he'd prefer a federal grant to
develop it.
"I'm afraid that if I join up with some big energy company, they will say
it
doesn't work and shelve it, even if it does work," Kanzius told the
paper.

I cringe at the idea of the news media filtering out the garbage!
It is for the viewer to determine what is garbage and what is not.
Many a multimillionaire owes his fortune to what others have
considered garbage where others have deemed themselves as
educated enough to detrmine what is garbage and what is treasure.
Look at the good side of this picture instead of piling on ridicule.
Here we have is a human being who is fighting for something new
and beneficial to all with all the energy and education that he
has within him so that he can hold on to life. The life he has
is enjoyable because he believes he is on the brink of success,
where his life is still usefull instead of lying on a hospital bed.
For a human to be brought from sadness into happiness is a
wonderfull thing that typifies the human race and encouragement
is what a human needs instead of derision to enjoy a life that
has been given him. It is not sad to see a life ending in enjoyment
but it is sad to pile on derision on how a human carries on the
fight for life even in the light of a meagre education.
If he was my grandpa I would encourage him until the end and be
very proud of him and not use my education to discourage him.
Actually the news media should use that story for those people
who are interested in what is good in life as well as those
who only have derision for the efforts of others.
