Graduate What pressure would be needed to cause fusion of water?
The energy for the kaboom came from quick math and assumptions and that's why I wanted to explore the idea further. As far as I have read the oxygen from the water might be able to fuse into si-28 and an alpha particle. Later through the Triple-Alpha process, it would make 2 gamma rays and some...- prodigylock

Graduate What pressure would be needed to cause fusion of water?
I forgot to mention but this theoretical container is indestructible. As I couldn't find a source on a Liquid adiabatic process I couldn't calculate if the compression would generate enough heat to make plasma and cause the sphere to become ignited. It should not be exothermic since the only...- prodigylock

Graduate What pressure would be needed to cause fusion of water?
So in a DnD story, someone made a bomb by putting 3375ft^3 of water into a 0.5ft radius sphere and caused it to make a nuke. I was thinking if this was possible then what would actually happen, so I spent an afternoon looking for the answer and only got the pressure and density...- prodigylock
