We started our project by finding the consequences of melting water in Antarctica and Greenland would be. There were many consequences so we found that to stop the ice from melting we should find a clean way to make energy. So we began our research.
We found a man named John Kanzius who was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2003 and being an inventor he came up with is his radiofrequency generator (RFG), a machine that generates radio waves and focuses them into a concentrated area
Kanzius used the RFG to heat small metallic particles inserted into tumors, destroying the tumors without harming normal cells
While his machine was on he noticed a glass of salt water near the RFG was condensing so he conducted an experiment where he put the glass of saltwater directly in front of the RFG and to his surprise the water sparked and set a flame
In its normal state, salt water has a stable composition of sodium chloride (the salt) and hydrogen and oxygen (the water). But the radio waves from Kanzius' RFG disrupt that stability, degrading the bonds that hold the chemicals in salt water together. This releases the volatile hydrogen molecules, and the heat output from the RFG ignites them
This is so important because you could take plain salt water out of the sea, put it in containers and produce a flame that could heat generators that make electricity
A nearly unlimited clean resource
