Mmm....I'm not too sure if I understood your question. But I'll have a go at an answer. I'll precis my source a bit. James Maxwell theorized on the possibility of a "valve" that could separate slower air molecules from faster ones, effectively separating a stream of air into its cold and hot counterparts. A Frenchman is rumoured to be the first person to build such a valve. During WWII the German army discovered some early experimental models in then occupied France. These models were taken to a German physicist named Rudolf Hilsch, who was working on refrigeration techniques for the German army. He improved upon these models and consequently had the Hilsch tube named after him. Though an intriguing device, the Hilsch tube was found to be less efficient than conventional refrigeration devices and further research was discontinued. It would appear then that the tube is now merely a thermodynamic curiosity. The following explains how a Hilsch tube splits air into its hot and cold components. Compressed air shoots around a spiral and forms a high-velocity vortex. Molecules of air at the outside of the vortex are slowed by friction with the wall of the spiral. Because these slow-moving molecules are subject to the rules of centrifugal force, they tend to fall toward the centre of the vortex. The net result of this process is the accumulation of slow-moving, low-energy molecules in the centre of the whirling mass, and high-energy, fast-moving molecules around the outside. "High-energy" and "low-energy" mean high and low temperatures respectively. The end result of this process: separation of a stream of gas into hot and cold streams. http://www.colorado.edu/che/CLASSES/3320f/pages/hilsch.html Now the question arises, what would happen if one used water vapour instead of air. Would the tube separate the components into the power 12 and power 4 states for example. One thing is for sure. No one has ever tried the experiment since before about a year ago no one realised that there were three quite distinct states of water vapour. Of course, the dream result would be the separation of water vapour into two phases, one positively charged and the other negatively charged. Bingo, a water vapour electrical generator. And if, as I suspect, this is simply the Carnot cycle one storey down with Casimir and Charge as the analogues of Pressure and Temperature, then we can forget about Hot Fusion - we can even forget about Cold Fusion - we can forget about Deuterium coz all we will need is the plain water that droppeth like the gentle rain from heaven upon the earth beneath. ============================================ 'Nor dim nor red, like God's own head, The glorious Sun uprist: Then all averred, I had killed the bird That brought the fog and mist.
