Salt Water Burning?

I wanted to drop a drivel on an interesting story about John Kanzius, who figured out that salt water burns in the presence of radio waves. From what I gather, he was looking for a cure for cancer, and stumbled on this interesting finding.

First, the cancer cure idea. I am totally on board with using inert particles that can pass on heat or other forms of radiation that might kill cancer. I hope his idea works! It would be an incredible leap above non-specific pharmaceuticals that deliver huge blows to the whole system. I believe they are doing tests on it right now. In fact, I read about a company called nanopartz that can produce gold nanoparticles and rods of a consistent and specific size, which may really help figure out dosing and other variables. As it says on the website, the nice thing is that gold particles are viewed as a device by the FDA instead of a drug, which might be a less-arduous approval process.

Second, the salt water finding. This unlikely finding is a result of John experimenting to see if his radio frequency transmitter could desalinate sea water. Instead, it appears to weaken the hydrogen and oxygen bonds in H2O, and release Hydrogen gas. If you know how to get concentrated radio waves without using much electricity, fire up your salt water car!
