AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the potential of using specific vibrational frequencies to weaken the bonds in water (H2O) to enhance electrolysis efficiency. The idea is that if these bonds can be weakened with less energy than traditional methods, it could lead to more economical electrolysis. While some research focuses on high-temperature electrolysis, this approach still requires significant energy input. Participants note that classical vibrations may not apply in the context of quantum mechanics, raising questions about the feasibility of the proposed method. The conversation highlights the intersection of energy efficiency and innovative techniques in water electrolysis.

Is it possible to weaken the bonds of H2O with by inducing a specific vibrational frequency? This idea had been rolling around in my mind for years. My thought is that if the bonds could be weakened by less energy then electrolysis alone it may become economical. I realize that some research is being done on high temperature electrolysis, yet this theory still requires the input of energy to get to the required . Any ideas?

You're talking about the bonds between oxygen and hydrogen in the molecule itself right?
 
Yes. I know it sounds a little crazy, but wondering if there may be a correlation between applied oscillation(say sound waves or other frequencies) and bond strength.
 
1) You are suggesting free energy.

2) "Vibrations" in classical terms does not apply to quantum mechanics.

3) High temperature is the same thing you are suggesting.
 
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
