I’m still blown away that radio frequencies can dissociate hydrogen without an electrode. I haven’t read a good explanation of the phenomenon.
- _nalply 3y agoI wonder how strong the radiation was. If strong enough it dissociates and then by burning it gives back the energy... Looks like a fake perpetuum mobile...
- dr_dshiv 3y agoYeah, obviously strong enough to make the energy balance. But still awesome.
- _nalply 3y agoYes it's awesomeness reminds me of the Tcherenkoff light I once saw with my own eyes. It was a deep pool of a test reactor and I even asked the guide if I am allowed to put my index finger into the water. It was warm. I looked long and deep at the fascinating white-blue light in the water. It is so awesome that no public relations work is needed. The thing speaks for itself and is so convincing.
- sheepscreek 3y agoEver heard of a Plasma gun? Or pressurized water cutting? Heck Lasers do the same thing. In every case, it’s really a collision between different particles at various energy levels, leading to different results. Take an extremely fast neutron and collide it with an atom, and you could alter the chemical composition of the atom/end up with a different element (basic principle of breeder reactors). Fascinating stuff.
