Water + Salt + Energy = Clean!

codesmith.ca writes "CTV News is reporting about a device built at the Russian Institute for Medical Engineering that can convert standard water and salt into an antimicrobial solution. Apparently it's works on almost anything (virii, bacteria, cysts...) and it's safe for human consumption to boot. I can't find a site for the institute, but there are articles around. This one is fairly detailed, but hard to reach. Here's the Google cache. Here's one about a paper shows it's not exactly super-new technology." Any chemist care to comment on what sounds to be too good to be true?

This one is fairly detailed, but hard to reach.

ALL links in Slashdot are hard to reach. This one is just soon to be impossible to reach.

I guarentee you that if you pour the solution into your computer, it will be free of viruses from now on. Should work on any operating system ;)

OK Disclaimer-- don't try this at home, or if you do, don't complain to me :)

If Water + Salt + Energy = Clean, then Energy = Clean - Water - Salt.

Step 1: Find something clean.
Step 2: Remove the water from it.
Step 3: Remove the salt from it.
Step 4: ???
Step 5: Profit from FREE ENERGY!

used asbestos

Of course it leaked chlorine gas, you forgot to stabilize the reaction with dioxin. You also need to use lead pipes.
