Water Electrolysis and Water Dissociation with RF waves

AI Thread Summary
Water dissociation using radio frequency (RF) waves, as discovered by John Kanzius, raises questions about its efficiency compared to traditional water electrolysis. Some claims suggest that the hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) produced through RF dissociation are more efficient, but these assertions contradict established physics principles. Increasing the wattage of the RF generator may enhance wave output or range, but the exact effects require further clarification. Directing RF waves to larger test tubes could necessitate either more RF waves or increased power, depending on specific calculations. Overall, the scientific community remains skeptical about the efficiency claims related to RF water dissociation.

THIS IS NOT A HOMEWORK QUESTION.

As Physicist of course I'm sure you've heard about the water dissociation with Radio waves that john kanzius discovered and I have a few questions on my mind listed below

1) What is the difference between this phenomenon and water electrolysis? Is it true that the H2 and O2 produced from Dissociation of water with RF waves are more efficient than their production in electrolysis?

2) What happens when increasing the watts of the RFG? Does it give more Waves and How? Or does it increase the range of the RF waves?

3) If I wanted to direct the RF to a bigger test tube would it need more RF waves or would we want to increase the power? (If there was a Mathematical calculation please could you provide it?)

I emailed those to Mr Rustum Roy and I hope to get any answers from him and I thought I'd have any from the professionals of this site.

That's what they claim. It contradicts several laws of physics, so it is hard to treat these claims seriously.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
