Ok... question... serious...

I want to experiment with soemthing and this thought hit me... any imput? |

So far nobody has been able to change the structures of elements. If we ever reach absolute zero, we may be able to simple remove the electrons somehow, since they'd be stationary. God only knows how kind of energy would be released if somebody actually removed an electron from a molecule. |

As for what elements you could remove electrons from and how much energy it would require, you would have to look at elements postition on the periodic table and find its sheilding, electronegativity, etc. I'm pretty sure you could use sound waves to disrupt chemical bounds, it wouldnt take much energy to disrupt some bonds. (ex: hydrogen bonds) |

Silver Member Username: ThelonewolfPost Number: 105 Registered: Jul-05 | yea, i know ben and jerry's uses sound to create refrideration. so im interested in experimenting with something new that poped into my head |
