would saltwater make a good alternative fuel resource?
what are the pros and cons?
Is it the best, if not what would be the best?

How would it make a good alternative fuel source? What process can saltwater undergo that would release more energy than it would consume?
Sure, there’s plenty of it.
pros it isn’t hard to get ahold of, cons it isnt an enrgy source that show promise
maybe in a few years
Saltwalter could be used as a good alternative fuel resource if you seperate it into water and salt and used the water to power hydrogen cars because water has hydrogen in it. But this process is highly expensive and not worth it.
You can’t burn salt water, so it is not a fuel resource.
IF you are talking about the water from the ocean — you would have to harness the wave action not so much the salt water and this is being done — not sure the country Norway — and the Netherlands – I believe
It is very expensive to set up stations where the blocks would ride up and down with the wave action but you need enough action to produce the electricity
It will work – but takes a lot of ocean coverage and can be damaged by storms –
Better off to go either solar or wind

Apparently the answer is yes.
According to this: http://www.flixxy.com/alternative-fuels-research.htm
it’s possible to make fire from nothing but salt water using microwaves. I don’t know if the energy produced is worth the energy it takes to make it work but it looks promising.
No.
yes but you would have to clean the enigine a ton
My boss said he had seen a guy who had a rotary motor that ran on salt water in 1962 at a world fair. then he said he never heard of it again. I guess big oil seen him too.
It takes more energy to separate the water into hydrogen and oxygen than you get back burning the hydrogen. So no, it does not look promising and further reseach wont change it in the same way that further research wont make 1+1=3 true.
Hydrogen cars exist, no one denies that. The problem is how do you get the hydrogen.
It could not be a source. You have to have electricity to turn it into hydrogen and the process is not very efficient.
100 BTUs of electricity —> 60 BTUs of Hydrogen = waste of energy
