The future of sports cars and the engines that push them to the limits is about to make a radical change. Thanks to the recent increase in energy crisis awareness, many innovations have been developed to help lower the consumption of fossil fuels. Instead of digging into oil pits and wells for the fuel that drives our sports cars, we may turn next to the ocean. Salt water has been proven in the following video to be combustible by bouncing high strength radio waves off it's molecules. Is this powerful enough to power our engines? If so, how much power can we make from it?

It's not a cure all for the energy crisis, because the amount energy it takes to power the radio wave emitting device does not equal the power output. However, when considering the history of automobile engines we did not start out with 1,000 horsepower monsters. When the first steam engine used to pump oil was developed, it only produced a whopping total of one horsepower. Things take time to develop, and it is totally possible that one day sports cars may indeed be powered by salt water. If they are developed, do we have enough salt to power our world?
Is there enough of it here?
Instead of stopping by the gas station, you will stop by the salt water station. This brings up the question, is there enough water in the ocean to use it as a fuel? According to wikianswers.com, the ocean holds a grand total of 343,423,668,428,484,681,262 gallons of salt water. The world currently consumes 1,686,300,000,000 gallons of oil each year. If the burn rate of salt water is comparable to that of oil, I estimate that we will run the ocean dry in 203,655,143 years and 5 months, and that's only if salt water is consumed per gallon at the same rate of oil. Since we don't know how much salt water it will take to power a vehicle, this is only a wild estimation but it paints the picture. Let's not forget salt mining that can also be added to water, which has an output of 100 tons per day for each facility. There is much more salt on this planet than oil, so it is a very possible candidate for energy.
How sports cars will be affected
There is no way to tell how sports cars will be affected, but the chances are high that if this fuel turns out as a possibility to solve the energy crisis we will have to make due. For performance modifications, there may be ways to introduce more salt into the cylinder per burn. Possibly increasing the output wattage of the signal that ignites the salt will also be a modification. Weight reduction can safely be said to be a modification to improve performance, along with handling and aerodynamics. Maybe instead of using normal water, distilled or specialized water mixtures with different salt saturation will yield higher power. No matter what type of vehicle or fuel is derive for the future, automotive enthusiasts will figure out a way to modify it and make it faster.
