apparently, an advantage of using an ICE instead of a fuelcell with hydrogen is that fuelcells require very pure hydrogen, but an engine will burn any old crap...
i thought you didn't like my magnetic water question Borek... glad to see you're still taking an interest. i guess i could have phrased it better though...
back on the subject of funny videos did you ever see this version of the hutchison effect? it's a classic, i love this video...
perhaps i should put together a vid or picture clearly showing the system I'm wondering about. will get back to you all with that one...
but then again maybe i should just build the thing and see if it works... after all, the scientific method is to test a theory by experiment, not just to...
i would have to say that the electromagnet CAN BE a DC device, but doesn't neccessarily have to be driven by a constant DC... what about a coil driven by a unidirectional pulse signal?... a coil doesn't have to produce a steady constant magnetic field, and in the system that i describe, it...
the device i have in mind uses a solenoid, not a permanent magnet, and the magnetic field is pulsed across the water, it's not a static field... I also hope that some heavyweight intellectual physicists can help out here...
hello? anybody out there? if an admin reads this, is there any chance you could move my question to the high energy/ particle physics forum?.. i guess really what I'm describing is a twisted type of accelerator so maybe someone over there might have some thoughts on the subject... one other...
all interesting stuff, but it doesn't really answer or apply to my question... an electric current through the water is not part of the situation that i describe. the potential field across the water should polarise the water molecules regardless of current flow. the purpose of this is simply...
yeah, funny video... crashed my computer though, cheers for that... i'll go and start my download again...
what do you make of the youtube link i posted? and the old levitating frog vid? have you seen that one?
it's not exactly what I'm getting at with my first question, I'm more...
i realize that water is not magnetic in the sense that it can't be picked up with a magnet... but i still wonder if the slight electric dipole of the molecule might mean that the slightly charged particles forming it could be deflected and accelerated by a well aimed magnetic field? am a wrong...
I'm sure you'll all think I'm brain damaged but i was wondering if water, polarized within an electric field, might exhibit some magnetic properties... with the molecules having a slight electric dipole, could the 2 positively charged H atoms be thought of as an electric current of sorts...
