The "Simulated catalist" theory is interesting for lots of reasons.

I wrote a blog on this topic. Some of the links go back to this discussion group.

What you should see is the secret sauce to the Kanzius effect. Its contained in one of kanzius patents and in an expired eu patent.
What's happening is that the RF is imitating the radio frequency of some catalyst for water separations. My guess is that the catalyst frequency that's being imitated is platinum since that's the big expensive catalyst in hydrogen fuel cells. What's happening is that the salt water is fooled into believing there's a platinum catalyst in the water.
Now consider if they could eliminate platinum from fuel cells altogether while using salt water as a storage and fuel for hydrogen -- suddenly hydrogen fuel cell cars would be dramatically cheaper.
To see what I mean consider this article on hydrogen fuel cells

Caused by Polarization of the Hydrogen Molecules; magnetic bond
On June 28, 2007, Ted Green <Theodore.A.Green {at} l-3com.com> wrote:
To get right to the point, I believe the Kanzius effect is caused by the polarization of the hydrogen molecules in the water. This polarization causes the two atoms of hydrogen to lose their 105 degree orientation to each other and de-stabilize the water molecule. The unstable water molecule comes apart easily then, combining hydrogen to hydrogen and oxygen to oxygen in a magnetic bond. Because the water molecules’ special property to hold sodium is lost, some sodium atoms must also be released to react violently with the water still present. This ignites hydrogen which recombines with the oxygen to keep the wick from being consumed. The unusual properties of the HHO gas, catalyzes the whole process to a very high efficiency.
