One crude example is the use of radio frequencies to catalyze hydrolysis in salt water, without electrodes [1] . If you've never seen the "burning water“ YouTube videos, you won't believe it. Actually, especially if you've seen the videos, you won't believe it.
John Kanzius, the Erie, PA inventor is sometimes accused of making it sound like more energy is extracted from the water than put in. He never says or implies this (it's a net loss, obviously, like regular hydrolysis) , though the local news station describes the possibilty of fueling your car with salt water <smack> [2]. Still, amazing to watch salt water burn.
