Somebody give me the scoop on this idea that one drop of water could power an entire city.
On 'yer mark
Get set
Go…
Water = Hydrogen + Oxygen.
Hydrogen = Main component in a fusion reaction.
Oxygen = byproduct.
The problem with fusion is control. It generates a LOT of heat…like…you know…the sun is a fusion generator, right?
Damn it raf.
Oh yeah E=MC^2
A fusion reaction harness’s less than 1% of that…
yeah its possible, just read my posts in “why so conservative towards nuclear power?”
the problem with fusion is getting it to work without a fission bomb detonation, like fusion bombs do. in order to cause two hydrogen nuclei to bump into eachother, they have to be about 1million degrees hot. if the nuclei are cold, their positive charges will repel. thats why ‘cold fusion’ is a good thing to figure out. i dont see why we dont just grab the nuclei with our hands and push them together. i mean, magnets arent that strong. i remember ive overpowered them before. ill go patent that now.
and the fusion reaction might harness 1% of the water molecule, or hydrogen nuclei, but it harnesses 100% of the gluons that splash off of the individual nuclei when the new compound one is formed. imagine two balls surrounded with a thick layer of translucent, gelatinous glue. smack them together, and glue splashes off. when you push the two balls close together inside their gelatinous home, some glue isnt needed. it flies away and blows up atolls. learning is fun.
right, well i think he was talking about the new cars that they are coming out with not a new power plant. big problem with the car is that the fuel or the hydrogen for it is very hard to get and the hydrogen atoms want to get together that why the cant get the fuel because the atom is almost always bonded with oxygen carbon or some other element. Unfortunatly separating the atoms requires more enerygy than is put out so unless the develope a new way to bond them that puts out alot more energy which is almost impossible because there are a cetain number of atom that have to bond in order to put out energy, or the company will have to find a way to harvest hydrogen easily or effiently. i mean there is not enough corn in the word to power a fleet of cars… really… what were they thinking
damn you baron, i was going to say that…
but in order for the fusion/fission could occur, massive heat and pressure would be able to occur inside the enormous reactors…
so in conclusion, it would be unpractical to have a car that cannot go under a 13’9" bridge…
Hi to All:
Fusion reactions have been set off in relatively minor spaces using lasers. The major draw back is that the reactions can not be fed.
