Interestingly the inventor of that ended up dead less than two years after making his discovery due to pnemonia. Not too into conspiracy theories, but that's quite convienant.

Fire from Salt Water
The late John Kanzius found a way to burn salt water with the same radio wave machine he is using to kill cancer cells.
Kanzius was testing his external radio-wave generator to see if it could desalinate salt water, and the water ignited. A university chemist determined that the process is generating hydrogen, which can be burned as fuel.
While the phenomenon is interesting, it is not yet practical for energy generation as long as more energy is consumed by the radio frequency device than is produced for burning. Efficiency-wise, they started at around 76 percent of Faraday's theoretical limit. (Other Hydrogen-from-Water methods, such as the one being pursued by Bob Boyce, are approaching 7x Faraday). They subsequently quietly reported that they surpassed 100% efficiency, which would mean that the system is somehow harnessing environmental energy such as from the zero point or some other yet-to-be discovered phenomenon.
Another problem to be overcome from burning salt water is the liberation of toxic chlorine (from the Cl of NaCl/salt).
Kanzius said if someone wants to buy up the rights to the technology, that would be fine. He would use the funds to finance his quest to cure cancer.
He passed away Feb. 19, 2009.

Wow, thanks for the update.
Real shame as he really didn't care about the fuel discovery but rather wanted to sell it so he could work on a cure to cancer. His idea on that was also interesting.
If we consider his death a conspiracy theory as pointed out, I wonder who got him? The oil companies or the medical companies. as he was close to solving something theuy didn't want solved meaning they loose research funding.
