Also if it can split salt water into H2 and O2, where does the chlorine and
sodium go?
Does it pollute more than current technology?
I'm 60 and I did this as a seventh grade science project (with fresh
water and an acid additive), using a battery and carbon rods. Science
teacher wouldn't let me do it with salt water, because of the release
of chlorine gas.
Very impressive for the judges as I would lift the collection tube of
hydrogen off the, rod turn it over and put a match to it and get a pop
from the hydrogen burning.
However, the energy in was greater than the energy out, so no big deal
here.

Sorry for an OT (off topic), but I think word about this should get
around.
A guy has found an easy way to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.

That looks great.
Unfortunately I have heard of similar simple fixes. The oil companies
will
pay him off and that will be that.
The real problem is the lack of information. Whether it's viable or
just a scientific curiosity depends on a lot of information that has
not been provided.
How much power is required to get the reaction started?
(How big a battery to start the car?)
If it needs 2KW of microwave energy for 10 minutes to start the
reaction, you're looking at a huge (and heavy) battery.
Can the reaction generate enough power to be self-sustaining?
(Once started, can it continue to run?)
It has to provide power to keep the reaction going, plus power to move
the vehicle and power to recharge the starting battery.
The Stirling engine is an attention getter, but they generally don't
provide enough power to move even a small vehicle.
The Tesla coil is an impressive display of "transferring" electrical
energy without wires, but no one is powering vehicles or driving water
pumps that way because of the inefficiency. The efficiency of burning
saltwater has not yet been determined ;-)
