I was watching Mythbusters last night, and they were doing all kinds of explosive experiments. In one experiment, they made a Pringles can explode using hydrogen and leaving the chips fairly intact.  One thing they pointed out was that Hydrogen, when it burns, has a clear, nearly invisible white flame. This got me thinking about the burning saltwater, which was an orange-yellow flame. So, its probably not the Hydrogen burning. So that got me wondering what was burning in that saltwater. Well, maybe its the salt I thought. Salt, Sodium chloride, is fairly inert. However, Sodium by itself is really active and quite explosive when it comes into contact with water. Here's a great site with a guy doing sodium experiments, including throwing it into water and burning it:

So, it highly probable the RF is making the sodium in the water burn. So, what to you amateur chemists and physicists have to say about this? Is it still a possible fuel source if its only burning the sodium?
