The problem is that it requires exactly as much energy to break those bonds and form HHO gas as you get out of the recombination reaction -- and that assumes 100% efficiency. Since no machine in history has ever been 100% efficient, nor can it be because of the laws of thermodynamics, the net result will always be negative. So I would have to ask the inventor (and I'd very much like to...): How much energy is required to power the radio frequency generator? How much energy do you get from the resulting reaction? If it is a net positive, this will revolutionize humanity. I know of no chemical or physical process that allows for a net positive result. Any physicists out there wanna tackle this one?
That has nothing to do with the laws of Thermodynamics. The laws state that you cannot have a perfect engine. Best you can have is around %50 range. After waste, friction etc.. the average efficiency of a gasoline engine rests about %15. That number by the way is considered very good, among other engines we can build. The reason for that is the fact that Oil is an amazing subject and when exposed to proper conditions it releases much more energy than it takes to create the situation. The difference is the net work you can do with that energy ( or waste). This guys system creates temperatures in excess of 1500 centigrade. Radio frequency's generators don't take much energy, so I think this may work, but the main problem lies with how to actually implement this in to a usable thing. I mean it would make very clean and efficient steam engines the way it sits, but that wouldn't be any use to us at this point.
