1. But not enough energy to make it viable.
http://auto.howstuffworks.com/fuel-efficiency/alternative-fuels/salt-water-fuel1.htm


There is another design flaw in Aquygen, one that it shares with the Kanzius RFG.
Both struggle with the energy input to energy output ratio -- or efficiency. This
huge stumbling block causes many to view inventions like Aquygen and the RFG as
useless science. While the RFG produces a hydrogen flame that burns stably, the
amount of energy it puts out is less than the amount of energy needed to power the RFG.
In this sense, any energy that comes out of the salt-water flame cannot be considered
a source of power. It's just a manifestation of the energy being put into it,
only in a lesser amount. This makes it unlikely that the RFG could produce a real, viable source of fuel.

2. That video is from June 2007
We probably would have heard more if this was a viable technology at this time. Since then, Fracking may be the new energy source from the water tap.
