Notice he used nice pure salt, NaCl. That is not sea salt--which contains bromine, iodine, potassium, whale shit, and lots of stuff not in a cutesy "demo".

When you electrolyze sea water, you do not get hydrogen and oxygen. You make Clorox, sodium hypochlorite!

And planet Earth is running low on fresh water already, so the idea of diverting tons of it for energy is ludicrous. Besides that, water is not a source of chemical or electrical energy (mechanical maybe when it falls from a high place).
