[Stoves] Hydrogen gas from radio waves and salt water ?

[Nikolaus Foidl]

Dear Richard!

That's an other of thousands of snake oil peddler projects which pop up
every year. You use high cost energy ( electricity) and produce low cost
energy ( H2) for burning. To produce the electricity the efficiency in
average is around 40% and then to produce the H2 the efficiency is again
some maybe 70 %, but to transfer this H2 into something transportable again
you have an efficiency loss until the end user. So overall efficiency
normally are below the 10% range. Where those H2 by electricity or H2 and Co
by electricity transformers work is when you can by at night time
electricity at 10 % of its market value and store the H2 and CO to daytime
where you reconvert the gas into electricity and sell the produced
electricity at a premium price for the peak hours. You can look up similar
"inventions" under Browns gas, water gas etc.Still as hard as inventors try
to proof contrary there is no perpetuum mobile not the first order neither
the second. To show a " Scientist with a the astonishing discovery that H2
burns with a hot flame" makes this neat trick not the world saving event
they paint it, it only shows that some reporters and some "Scientists" think
that everybody out there is as dumb as they are.
Best regards Nikolaus
