SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the concept of utilizing hard water and heavy water as potential energy sources through radiation capture. Participants explore the idea of transforming hard water into "hard hard water" and heavy water into "heavy heavy water," suggesting that this process could release radiation. However, skepticism arises regarding the feasibility and scientific basis of these claims, with one participant hinting at possible confusion stemming from fictional sources.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of heavy water and its properties
  • Basic knowledge of radiation and energy capture mechanisms
  • Familiarity with chemical reactions involving soluble salts
  • Awareness of scientific principles behind water transformation processes
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties and applications of heavy water in energy production
  • Explore radiation capture technologies and their current implementations
  • Investigate chemical methods for altering water composition and their energy implications
  • Learn about the scientific validity of concepts presented in popular media, such as "Stargate"
USEFUL FOR

Researchers in energy science, chemists exploring water chemistry, and enthusiasts interested in the intersection of science and popular culture.

Now isn't there a way to make hard water "hard hard water"? and in by doing so radiation is released and another compund is left behind?

Am thinking that by capturing this radiation it could be utilized as an alternate energy source.

Now isn't there a way to make heavy water "heavy heavy water"? and in by doing so radiation is released and another compund is left behind?

Maybe you could release a small amount of heat by adding soluble salts, but this comes with a large price - the stuff you are adding.

As near as I can tell, someone is giving you some bad ideas. Where do you get this? Perhaps you are confusing a couple of different ideas?
 
maybe from a certain episode of stargate which was on tv a few weeks ago ;)
