试验是在开放空间进行的，人离设备很近，没有防护措施。将手放在运行着的设备的平板电极间，什么事都没有。将荧光灯管放在电极间，灯管能亮起来。盐水试管在电极间固定的位置很随意。点燃时和燃烧过程中没有爆燃而是基本连续稳定燃烧。
从电极为平板、能点亮荧光灯管估计，整个设备产生的无线功率应该千瓦数量级，施加在试管盐水的功率则为数瓦。设备频率会是微波炉所在的2450MHz吗？发明者Kanzius是个所谓garage scientist，最初发明的是无线加热杀肿瘤细胞的设备（用烤盘作天线以金属和热狗做杀肿瘤细胞试验），盐水燃烧发明是无线加热杀肿瘤发明的副产品。
从随后往水中加盐来看，含盐浓度对试验影响不大，那么，既然设备能从盐水中分解出氢气，同样含盐的人的体液为什么不分解？为什么对人手没有伤害？更严重的是，血液中产生气泡是致命的。另外，盐水分解出的氢气为什么是连续燃烧而不是爆燃（特别是在点燃的那一刻）？
Kanzius一开始还是很谦虚的，承认燃烧产生的能量低于输入能量、并声明从未说过盐水燃烧能替代燃油的话。后来有宾州州立大学退休教授Rustum Roy捧场后则大肆吹嘘起来。

The skeptics who will agree that it is possible to burn salt water - and there are plenty who won't even go that far - argue that at best the energy required to burn it would be greater than the energy produced by burning it.
Kanzius admits that is the case now in this very early stage of development.
But he add that he never claimed this would replace oil. In fact, he says only that his discovery is "thought provoking."

"To see it burn actually gives me chills", said Kanzius, "because could this be an alternative fuel for a world that's using way to much fossil fuels."
......
Professor Emeritus, Rustum Roy, at the Penn State University Materials Lab is a leading expert on the science of water. He was impressed by the discovery but wanted to see it for himself.
......
"This is the biggest discovery in 100 years in water research" exclaimed Professor Roy.
......
However, many engineering experts aren't as impressed. Energy experts like University of Akron Professor Emeritus, Rudy Scavuzzo, Ph.D, say the burning of salt water is nothing more than a new twist on a high school science experiment.
Scavuzzo told Channel 3's Mike O'Mara that the Kanzius invention requires too much energy to be worth celebrating.
"There is no breakthrough", said Professor Scavuzzo, "Because there are more efficient ways of breaking water down to hydrogen and oxygen."
