"John Kanzius happened upon the discovery accidentally when he tried
to desalinate seawater with a radio-frequency generator he developed
to treat cancer."

Obviously multiply bogus.

Not so obviously about the cancer cure. He is suggesting small bits
of metal be stuck to the cancer cells (the tricky bit) and then RF to
heat the cells with the metal bits. If the fist step can be done,
they may be something to it. Some cancer cells can be chemically
recognized by their surfaces.

But how would microwaves desalinate water? You'd blast a tank of water
with RF, and the salt would go... where?

Presumably it would stay in the tank while the evaporated water vapor
was cooled to liquid again. I was visualizing a micrwave still.

Why not use a resistive heater and save a lot of complexity?
