  2. Water thread experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_thread_experiment

    The bridge continued until the electricity was interrupted in the last frame. The water thread experiment is a phenomenon that occurs when two containers of deionized water, placed on an insulator, are connected by a thread, then a high-voltage positive electric charge is applied to one container, and a negative charge to the other. At a ...

  3. Nuclear reactor coolant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reactor_coolant

    Almost all currently operating nuclear power plants are light water reactors using ordinary water under high pressure as coolant and neutron moderator. About 1/3 are boiling water reactors where the primary coolant undergoes phase transition to steam inside the reactor. About 2/3 are pressurized water reactors at even higher

  4. FLiBe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLiBe

    It served both purposes in the Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The 2:1 molar mixture forms a stoichiometric compound, Li 2 [BeF 4 ] ( lithium tetrafluoroberyllate ), which has a melting point of 459 °C (858 °F), a boiling point of 1,430 °C (2,610 °F), and a density of 1.94 g/cm 3 (0.070 lb/cu in).

  5. Boiling-point elevation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling-point_elevation

    Boiling-point elevation is the phenomenon whereby the boiling point of a liquid (a solvent) will be higher when another compound is added, meaning that a solution has a higher boiling point than a pure solvent. This happens whenever a non-volatile solute, such as a salt, is added to a pure solvent, such as water.

    He also suggested that electricity is more akin to magnetism and light than to a fluid, since it passes through glass and cloth, and can be concentrated as a spark to light up flammable materials. On 14 August 1747 he made an experiment to conduct electricity through a 6,732 foot long wire at Shooter's Hill in London. At another experiment he ...

  7. Electrolysis of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis_of_water

    An AA battery in a glass of tap water with salt showing hydrogen produced at the negative terminal. Electrolysis of water is using electricity to split water into oxygen (O 2) and hydrogen (H 2) gas by electrolysis. Hydrogen gas released in this way can be used as hydrogen fuel, but must be kept apart from the oxygen as the mixture would be ...

    Put 1/2 cup of salt and 1/2 cup of vinegar into a spray bottle, fill the rest with water, and shake! Using this solution will keep your fridge just as clean, and it won't scratch your glass either.

  9. Reversed electrodialysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversed_electrodialysis

    Reverse electrodialysis (RED) is the salinity gradient energy retrieved from the difference in the salt concentration between seawater and river water. [1] A method of utilizing the energy produced by this process by means of a heat engine was invented by Prof. Sidney Loeb in 1977 at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.
