Not much so far.  In interviews Kanzius and others have only stated
that the device released hydrogen from salt water.  Kanzius has made
none of the usual BS claims one expects of "water to energy" devices
like the garbage sold in PopMech and PopSci classified ads.  In fact,
he has a record of philanthropy.  He seems to be genuinely trying to
do something good.

Kanzius never said anything about "burning salt water."  That's news
reporter BS.

Unless I missed something he didn't use microwaves.

That may take some time.  If the thing is useful and he decided to
patent it the process can be time consuming.  Given his health
situation, he might not be the one who patents it.  I don't say that
facetiously.  I hope the guy recovers but the prognosis, according to
one MD Anderson researcher, isn't very good.

Whether this device amounts to a hill of beans for energy production
or not, it sure would be great if they're able to use it for its
intended purpose.  We'll have to wait and see, no?
