why not 100x that design and take it on the ocean? You can burn ocean water and have unlimited fuel. To burn ocean water you put it into a field of 13.56Mhz and light it up. now give me my shmekels https://blockchain.info/address/19ee3osPZYw5EjNpm9QddWWV4zm1tFasoN

Doesn't seem efficient. If it works at all.

why not? use fire to boil water and run a turbine and to power the radio that emits the frequency use batteries that are charged from turbine and solar panels during the day, neverending supply of energy and not as dangerous, plus abundance of hydrogen, light a 1000 small flames in close proximity and they create a nice "little" flame

You can't get more energy than you put in in this case because of the law of conservation of energy. The amount of energy it takes to break the molecular bonds in water would be the exact amount of energy you get out by burning the resulting hydrogen. Then there are losses due to inefficiencies.

>law of conservation of energy.
that's bullshit they peddle in school as facts, energy can't be destroyed or created but it can be circulated indefinitely. Sun is your initial push aka Starter

Yeah but you loose tons of it to friction with water. And you realize that once you burn hydrogen, it become water again, but having inefficiencies, you lose energy every cycle.

Why not just use the solar energy to directly power the boat, via an electric motor? Converting it into heat and then using that heat to drive a turbine just adds a bunch of waste to the system for literally no benefit.
