How about that super professional diagram to open the video.I think he's trying to say salt water + electricity = hydrogen + oxygen. Hydrogen + oxygen = electricity. But honestly, it's... less than clear. And of course, there are issues with the math despite " The math works out there is surplus hydrogen. "

content: Salt water == Hydrogen + Oxigen ?That's the only stuff that will be released by a Electrolysis process ?I'm pretty sure that's not true.

content: The device appears to be based on using some of the output of the generator to perform the electrolysis which will produce the gases to burn to power the turbine to turn the generator .....I'd like to meet the person who pledged the 20 dollars. I think I have a nice art-deco bridge in Brooklyn I can sell him, cheap.(I wonder if Mr. Ibanez understands that "patent pending" is a legal term with specific meaning in the USA, or that disclosing the invention publicly prior to receiving a patent defeats the patentability already ...)Quote

content: The inventer and/or any backers who get to attend a demo will probably be killed off by the Chlorine the cell will produce while running on grid power to fill its gas tanks, or by the gas turbine grenading with total containment failure due to hot gaseous HCl corrosion, so no worries about dealing with the backers when the project fails.What's more worrying is Mr Ibanez's statement:QuoteThe Yanks already have somewhat of a reputation for being a bit trigger happy, with a tendency towards blue-on-blue incidents or excessive collateral damage, so the possibility of being overflown by planes carrying safety critical systems and weapons Mr Ibanez has worked on with his limited scientific understanding is worrying. To retain that warm fuzzy safe feeling, I suggest avoiding being in line of sight of any US navy aviation asset in case the avionics he's maintained decides your cellphone is hostile!

content: I logged into kickstarter to report the project as breaking the community rules and explained in the comment box that this is effectively a perpetual motion machine and that electrolysis of saltwater produces chlorine and sodium hydroxide, in addition to hydrogen.
