Very interesting. Did you read the other article linked at the bottom?

I'm going to buy stock in salt water.

Hurricanes where I live are very rare, until the four hit in one year, we had not had a direct hit since 1968 and that was only a light 3.

You could take plain salt water out of the sea, put it in containers and produce a violent flame that could heat generators that make electricity, or provide other forms of energy
...by using a machine that requires more energy than it produces just like the other method people keep banking on that uses water to produce fuel, electrolysis.

Filling a test tube with salt water from a canal in his back yard, Kanzius placed the tube and a paper towel in the machine and turned it on. Suddenly, the paper towel ignited, lighting up the tube like it was a wax candle.
Backyard canal? Remember the Cuyahoga River fire?

Naw, I wouldn't mind getting a beater soccer mom van just to haul stuff around, but then I would have to have a regular car for daily driving.
