摘要:取之不竭的未来能源
美国伊利湖癌症研究人员发现一种燃烧盐水的方法,这一新奇方法被一名化学家誉为近一百年中最重要的发现。化学家约翰.康伊斯是在使用研制的治疗癌症的无线电频率发生器分离海水时偶然发现这一现象的,他发现只要盐水暴露在无线电波中,就会燃烧。科学家们对使用盐水—这一地球上最丰富资源—作为燃料的前景兴奋不已!
ERIE, Pa. - An Erie cancer researcher has found a way to burn salt water, a novel invention that is being touted by one chemist as the "most remarkable" water science discovery in a century.
John Kanzius happened upon the discovery accidentally when he tried to desalinate seawater with a radio-frequency generator he developed to treat cancer. He discovered that as long as the salt water was exposed to the radio frequencies, it would burn.
The discovery has scientists excited by the prospect of using salt water, the most abundant resource on earth, as a fuel.
罗斯坦.罗伊在宝州州立大学实验室演示了整个操作过程,证实了他的发现:无线电波减弱构成盐水化学成份之间的键力后,盐水释放出氢气,一旦暴露在无线电波中的氢气被激燃,就会燃烧下去。
Rustum Roy, a Penn State University chemist, has held demonstrations at his State College lab to confirm his own observations.
The radio frequencies act to weaken the bonds between the elements that make up salt water, releasing the hydrogen, Roy said. Once ignited, the hydrogen will burn as long as it is exposed to the frequencies, he said.
科学家们正试图弄清氢气燃烧时,释放出温度高达3000华氏度的能量,能否驱动一辆轿车或其它重型机械设备。
The scientists want to find out whether the energy output from the burning hydrogen — which reached a heat of more than 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit — would be enough to power a car or other heavy machinery.
