Proof that what is said in this video is more than possible . .Abstract. This paper reports the first experimental results in which the kinetic energy of cold fog, generated in a water arc plasma, exceeds the electrical energy supplied to form and maintain the arc. The cold fog explosion is produced by breaking down a small quantity of liquid water and passing a kiloampere current pulse through the plasma. The 90-year history of unusually strong water arc explosions is reviewed. Experimental observations leave little doubt that internal water energy is being liberated by the sudden electro- dynamic conversion of about one-third of the water to dense fog. High-speed photography reveals that the fog expels itself from the water at supersonic velocities. The loss of intermolecular bond energy in the conversion from liquid to fog must be the source of the explosion energy. 1. Research motivation Before describing the latest experiments concerned with cold fog explosions, the motivation for this research will be explained. In 1994, we discovered that when a small quantity of water (usually but not necessarily distilled) is converted to high-density fog within microseconds, the fog explodes violently. Fog is defined as a multiplicity of tiny water droplets that float in air. The discovery has been fully described in a book dealing with pre-Maxwellian electrodynamics (Graneau and Graneau 1996). More recent findings have been discussed in a previous paper in this journal (Hathaway et al. 1998). The fog generator is a small water-filled electric arc cavity to be described later. In a typical explosion, the cavity receives less than about 50 J of electrostatic energy from a high-voltage capacitor. Almost all of the input energy is converted to low-grade heat, raising the water to a few degrees above ambient temperature. This heat is incapable of raising steam or contributing in any other way to the explosion. It seems inevitable that the fog is being produced by electrodynamic forces in the current-carrying arc plasma. Such forces can furnish the mechanical surface-tension energy required for tearing bulk water apart into tiny fog droplets. tuks.nl/pdf/Reference_Material/Electrolysis_Water_Arc_and_Dielectric_Breakdown/Graneau%20e.a.%20-%20Arc-liberated%20chemical%20energy%20exceeds%20electrical%20input%20energy%20-%202000.pdf
