Suppose he stumbled on the resonant frequency of the chemical bond or something?

I'd say this is most likely the answer, and is what I'm playing with in regards to my hydrogen/oxygen generator.

He's not breaking the laws of thermodynamics, obviously. He doesn't claim to be.

I think this is just another example of junk science. An idea that won't go anywhere. And when it doesn't (due to the fundamentally bad science), the conspiracy theorists will claim that it was a revolutionary idea that was shut down by the oil companies.

After reading through the thread, I agree.

What's most interesting is all the wannbe scientists here discrediting an idea without even knowing the facts.

True, but the inventor himself is no more a scientist than any of us are, either.

Define the idea.

I wouldn't go that far. I would expect that there are posters here that are legitimate scientists and doctors.

I cannot since there simply was not enough information supplied. Applying radio waves to salt water to create fire is not the same as a microwave though.

Also it cannot be determined what input power vs output power is.

However; many here have hashed the whole thing out already albeit non-scientifically.

Well you don't necessarily have to be a scientist to invent something. That's the beauty of it and how alot of the impossible is actually made possible.

I am a scientist though by education, although my field is more biological in nature; I have organic chemistry under my belt.

We now know you must not know about science though to mention that.

The inventor claims that flame is 3000 degrees Fahrenheit, but the color of the flame says otherwise. Also, wouldn't the test tube melt? Something doesn't add up.

Well we don't know if the recording was color accurate either.

There is simply not enough information to credit or discredit this provided.

Most here have assumed the position many have done before all the great inventions of our time were presented (although I am really doubting this one, I have no way to try to prove that here like other's are trying).

They laughed at the creators of the automobile, electricity, flight, etc.
