Hmmmm, Wonder what would happen if someone at the beach decided as a joke to use this "frequency"? I'm thinking a very LARGE boom.....lol
-dac-
the heat of fusion for NaCl (salt) to melt is 630 calories per mole, a normal commercial (am/fm) radio frequency is most likely not the needed freqency to break the ionic bond of NaCl.
believe it or not solid substances, like NaCl, have a very low vibration frequency. every solid substance vibrates at an atomic scale because of the movement of the electrons in either a covalent orbit or otherwise.
the idea behind this is that a particular radio frequency will match the same frequency of the atomic vibrations in the NaCl ionic bond and therefore break the bond, hence melting and heat.
the breakthrough, as i understand it, is that producing the NaCl atomic frequency does not require the amount of energy to do this otherwise, such as conventional heat needed to melt NaCl (630cal/mole).
the heat needed to create the frequency is much less than the heat that will occur from the melting of NaCl from the freqency. very efficent production of energy.
If i made a mistake in my understanding please correct me but I believe this is right.
