Possibility of liberating solar energy via water arc explosions

This paper reports progress in an experimental investigation, started in the Hathaway laboratory in 1994, which deals with the liberation of intermolecular bonding energy from ordinary water by means of an arc discharge. A new fog accelerator is described and a table of results of the kinetic energies of fog jets is included. The energy of liquid cohesion is stored in water during condensation when the vapor molecules transform their kinetic energy to potential energy. Since the kinetic energy of the vapor was acquired by solar heating of the atmosphere, it is solar energy in concentrated form that is being liberated by water arc explosions
