Thanks to ALL who replied. Starting to meander off PSES topic. Just needed to compare to potential energy in 'ball lightning'
Is anybody in the group working in the area of generating ball lightning, as related to safety and success? - Robert - --- [email protected] wrote: From: "Brian O'Connell" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [PSES] Energy in certain items Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2016 17:29:35 +0000 Actually ΔE ≈ Δmc2, but not relevant because energy (for ICE) is based on available molecular bond energy, so Sir Isaac’s kinetic models will prevail. Although probably relevant for a small percentage of photonic energy released during explosion or rapid combustion.
