better living through energy chemistry, bullshit, the new cold fusion, or what?

My default position, of course, is that this pegs the bullshit metre, but still - da hell? Radio waves and salt as a catalyst breaking covalent bonds in water and producing raw hydrogen and oxygen, and then igniting it? Um, what?

Anyway, much of this article is as semi-incoherent as you'd expect, but despite that, I want a lot of analysis on this, please. If it's not a complete fraud, somebody needs to get some EROI numbers on this stat. Also semi-incoherent video story here, and a wiki discussion on the topic here.

I used to joke that my father is so bad at cooking he could even burn water. Maybe I should tell him to put his chemistry doctorate to good use and really try to burn some next time :D
