Ooh. Perpetual motion using the mysterious RF!!

Someone forgot to do a power budget on the thing. Unless God is in a really puckish mood and has decided to finally violate the laws of thermodynamics you'll get less energy from the burning hydrogen than you put in via the RF -- much less the energy you burn in the RF generator.

Don't they teach these science reporters any science?

Do you need to implement control loops in software?
"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" gives you just what it says.
