New Scientific Discovery : Salt Water as Plentiful Fuel Source

Retired broadcast engineer John Kanzius has invented a radio wave generator that makes salt water burn.

Kanzius stumbled upon his discovery when trying to find a cure for cancer in which gold flakes are inserted into a person's body, accumulate in the cancerous cells, and are heated up using radio waves so that only the cancerous cells are destroyed.

Though the cancer treatment is not being universally lauded as a breakthrough discovery at the moment, the radio wave generator is. People are saying it could replace the need for oil and provide energy using the most abundant thing on earth - salt water.

I haven't heard anything about this in the mainstream media, although the clip on youtube is from some television spot, where the angle is, "Oh gosh, what will they think of next?!"

John Kanzius discovered that his radio frequency generator could release the oxygen and hydrogen from saltwater and create an incredibly intense flame. No need for oil.

Incredible. I wonder if it will ever see commercial use? Big oil won't like it very much. It's good stuff.

My only contention is, how much energy is required to run the machine, and how efficient is it? Did anyone make a simple required/produced calculation? I'm very wary about such claims, especially when they don't provide any mechanism for how it works.
