Answer 1

Did you know that saltwater will burn when exposed to radio waves? 13.53 mhz, I am told. It breaks down the bonds and causes saltwater to release hydrogen.

Answer 2

You might look into amateur radio. Go to the Arrl website. arrl.net its a great hobby for engineers and alot of the things you can build yourself and there is so much more to it than people think. Its not like CB's like some people think you can talk to the ISS(international space station) on passes, bounce signals of the moon, transmit on microwave frequencies, talk to people through sattelites when they pass over or use various digital modes, rtty, psk31, olivia, packet, sstv. The atmosphere plays big roles in several types of propagation as well, the sunspot cycles effect prorogation as well. Its a neat hobby and loving science you should really check it out. There are not as many people into it now like there use to be but there are alot of new emerging digital modes as well. 73's :-)
