    Astronauts on the ISS are experimenting with a form of water that has a strange property: it can help start fire. This fundamental physics investigation could have down-to-Earth benefits such as clean-burning municipal waste disposal and improved saltwater purification.

    If salt precipitates out of super critical water could this be a way for coastal cities to purify sea water?

      I may have misspoke when I commented and I believe I was not only an ass but wrong. lol, Hangs head in a tad bit of shame. I didn't read the persons' post correctly and thought they were saying NASA was a waste of money. I find NASA extremely important and wouldn't trade it for the world. NASA is the best agency off the planet!!!

    1:37 The CO2 molecule is wrong. It should be linear, not at an angle like H2O.

    "Supercritical Water." We can easily find the explanation, when we analyzed the platonic solids. The Tetrahedrons, the primary particle fire and even forming the basis of the other elements including the Water - Icosahedron, formed by 20 Tetrahedrons - Fire. The Tetrahedrons - Fire, the basis of the physical universe.

    use pulsed frequencies and magnets too for more efficiency.

    This is a great explanation - except for that animation of water being compressed (0:33). Liquid doesn't compress like a gas or a spring, it stays the same volume.

    The super-critical point makes the H & O available to re-partner with the C & H of hydrocarbons, but HCs are not only C&H. What happens to both metals, & N, etc., which will still be in the effluent (possibly more toxic)?
    Is this process grossly exothermic? Does it produce enough energy to sustain itself? (I suspect it requires added fuel.)

    Kinda marketed as a "green water treatment" I imagine the energy to compress the water to that point is supplied by coal anyhow. Green indeed.

    Am I the only one thinking that this supercritical water can be used as a fuel in cars? thus eliminating our use for fossil fuels?

    • @gforce833
      @gforce833 10 років тому +2

      The pressure required makes me skeptical you'll be seeing it in road cars anytime soon, seems a little dangerous :P Looks more like a solution for many industries and sewage treatment plants.

    F1 now has an all electric branch..just to respond to the people saying they are anti advanced fuels...they arent about stopping progress but want an even ground for each racer in a certain branch...so electrics only race electrics etc.

    "When it is compressed to a pressure of 271 atmospheres and heated above 703.4 degrees Fahrenheit"
    Does the compression itself provide the heat or does the process require an external source?

    It takes a pretty stout vessel to hold 3200 psi...or a very small vessel, I guess. Actually, a nominal 6" pipe with a 1" wall made of carbon steel would probably do the job. You can't buy that off the shelf, of course...

      Maybe :) If you can turn sewer water into a fuel source then great :) But it doesn't solve the CO2 issue, it just uses water as the oxidizer instead of oxygen from the air.

    Is it too much to expect that a UA-cam video about supercritical water would contain some video footage OF supercritical water? In fact, this isn't even a real video -- it's just a slide presentation. :-( Come on, NASA guys, people want to see the science, not the bullet points.

      God created all the universe from nothing, whould turning the sea into fire be hard for him?
      + maybe when the time comes for this to happen something would change in the composition of water.
