Water deconstructs above this temperature into powerful HHO gas, that when ignited gains another 2500^^ that will chain react with higher pressure steam to make the steam even hotter/higher pressure. Minor problem of melting all known turbine material, is avoidable through just higher volume of pressured steam. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Stowaway@midwest.social 5 points 9 months ago The one im aware of uses deuterium, aka hydrogen2, to generate helium 3. One of the byproducts being tritium, aka hydrogen3. This means there's potential for 2 deuteriums to mix with an oxygen molecule,this creating ²H2O, aka heavy water. I'm neither a chemist, nor physicist. So someone could probably prove me wrong at the drop of a hat, but Im calling it close enough.:p permalink fedilink source parent
