    Electricity Loss
AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the feasibility of using fast-moving hydrogen ions in a vacuum tube for electricity transfer. Concerns are raised about the efficiency of this method, particularly over long distances, due to energy losses from radiation and heat. The challenges of maintaining a high current beam of protons or electrons, including their repulsion and dispersion, are highlighted. Traditional metal wires are noted as a more effective solution, requiring less maintenance and demonstrating minimal power loss. Overall, the proposed method faces significant practical and efficiency hurdles.

can we use fast moving hydrogen ions in long glass tube which are practically vacuum for transfer of electricity. the hydrogen ions are produced by consuming energy and when they reach the destination(electrode) they form hydrogen gas and give electricity.

I doubt that you get a reasonable efficiency even for short ranges. In addition, I don't see how "and give electricity" works. Sure, you can use something similar to a fuel cell, but then you lose most of the energy to radiation and finally heat.
With long ranges, you get additional losses - you would need a significant charge in that tube, the protons would repel each other and attract electrons from the environment.

No, I cannot see how this should work in any reasonable way.
 
A high current beam of protons or electrons is very difficult to produce, to guide and to stop it from dispersing and hitting the sides of a tube. Then you would need to get it round bends . . . . .
Metal wires do this and more so much better and need no maintenance, no vacuum and lose very little power. Were you proposing a tube to return the 'used' Hydrogen atoms back up to the other end again?
But all credit for trying to think laterally! :smile:
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
