This invention will never withstand strict scientific review because
it will be trivial to demonstrate that it doesn't produce more power
than is input in the form of RF. No net excess power produced means
no new power source.

At no time did I ever think it was over unity. The law of conservation
of energy is just another law awaiting to be "broken", i.e. a new "law"
found which acts to the contrary ... after experiencing the insanity of
quantum physics, it leaves ones belief system shattered!
The real exciting part, if true, is it can be utilized to greatly lessen
our dependence on fossil fuels, remove the necessity of storage
batteries (a storage tank for gas has a much greater life expectancy and
is magnitudes cheaper in the long run than batteries, plus, the gas can
be transported with NO loss, electricity can't) and can be used in
conjunction with off peak usage of power to store energy. (and,
especially wind, solar, wave, geothermal, river current generation, etc.)
I have often wondered why geothermal resources, such as volcanoes in
Hawaii were not utilized, through electrolysis, to generate
hydrogen/oxygen to remove Hawaii's dependence on oil and stop polluting
paradise!
At 80% efficiency, or possibly less, I would imagine the process would
become economically important. With the proper use of catalysts
(platinum? palladium? Manganese Dioxide? etc.) it might even be feasible
to approach 90+ efficiency. (Manganese Dioxide weakens the
hydrogen/oxygen bond, if in doubt--drop a bit of Manganese Dioxide in a
bit of hydrogen peroxide and watch the oxygen release! And, platinum is
contained in every catalytic converter on every auto)
I am just giving the benefit of the doubt at this point, as (supposed)
engineers, physicists and others are claiming this is new ... and, when
you have John Kanzius called before congress to provide details and
congressman English wanting to allot funds to its development, and is
drafting such a bill, I am assuming there is at least a grain of truth
in it all ... but then, it is easy to shake my belief in the charlatan
congressmen we have today ...
