[–] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 11 points 9 months ago (2 children) It's boiling water all the way down. Seriously though, it's over 100,000,000° so probably not. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 5 points 9 months ago Water decomposes above 3000 C permalink fedilink source parent [–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 1 point 9 months ago First, fusion has 0 theoretical economic potential, but there is some potential for energy gains from 2250^^ + steam. 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
