In real life force fields, is it possible to
create a small pocket dimension where we can set
temperature {low}, pressure{high}, so that H2O
can be formed from H2 and O2 gases, within few
minutes or reaction? |
Question Date: 2013-02-08 | | Answer 1:
I'm not sure about pocket dimensions, but if
you want to form water really quickly from
H2 and O2, just light a
match. Certainly, rockets are propelled by
mixing liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, but
they are ignited beforehand. I am unsure what
would happen if you mixed liquid oxygen and
liquid hydrogen (and low temperatures) without
first providing enough energy to start a chain
reaction (that is, lighting them on fire).
| | Answer 2:
So far as we know, real life force fields and
pocket dimensions do not exist.
H2 and O2 form water
very quickly and easily when combined in gaseous
form - so much energy is released in fact that
the combination is explosive. The explosion and
fire that destroyed the Hindenberg was fueled by
hydrogen in the blimp catching fire and burning,
using the oxygen in the air.
You would not be able to keep temperature low
while burning hydrogen with oxygen. The reaction
puts out so much energy that it is, simply put,
a fire. Fires are hot; it's their nature.
