Retired TV station owner and broadcast engineer, John Kanzius, wasn't looking for an answer to the energy crisis. He was looking for a cure for cancer. Four years ago, inspiration struck in the middle of the night. Kanzius decided to try using radio waves to kill the cancer cells.
His wife Marianne heard the noise and found her husband inventing a radio frequency generator with her pie pans.
"I got up immediately, and thought he had lost it."
Here are the basics of John's idea:
Radio-waves will heat certain metals. Tiny bits of certain metal are injected into a cancer patient.
Those nano-particals are attracted to the abnormalities of the cancer cells and ignore the healthy cells.
The patient is then exposed to radio waves and only the bad cells heat up and die.
But John also came across yet another extrordinary breakthrough.
His machine could actually make saltwater burn.
John Kanzius discovered that his radio frequency generator could release the oxygen and hydrogen from saltwater and create an incredibly intense flame.
"Just like that. If that was in a car cylinder you could see the amount of fire that would be in the cylinder."
The APV Company Laboratory in Akron has checked out John's amazing invention. They were amazed.
"That could be a steam engine, a steam turbine. That could be a car engine if you wanted it to be."
Imagine the possibilities. Saltwater as the ultimate clean fuel.
A happy byproduct of one man searching for the cure for cancer.
