Salt water doesn't burn, misunderstandings of the mainstream media
notwithstanding.

He bombards saltwater with radio waves to cause it to split into
hydrogen and oxygen. Interesting, but it will always take as much or
more energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen than is released
when burning it (recombining the hydrogen and oxygen).
