clsage Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07252/815920-85.stm I've started a thread about this in the Champions forum but I thought it might be worth posting here too.... Perhaps a cephalapod society who use this method (they stumbled on the frequency while observing a dolphin-like species from their world) to power a version of the industrial revolution....?? -Carl- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alathan Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Re: Interesting Tech Here's a chilling thought... Imagine an advanced alien species with a megascale RF transmitter aimed at the entire Earth... with all that seawater covering it... suddenly... POOF!!!

I'm somehow reminded of the short story "The Sapphire as Big as the Marsport Hilton" by John M. Ford. Scarey tech plus a patient species equals bad for humans. -Carl- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thia Halmades Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Re: Interesting Tech You can't use up water; although now from what I understand we can break it down and burn it. However, with 75% of the planet covered in liquid, and five oceans, I wouldn't panic anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maur Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Re: Interesting Tech breaksdown into H2 and O2 which turns into H2O on combustion. Net result, no water volume is lost, it is just water vapor which the atmosphere can only hold so much of and the rest will precipitate out. Could result in an interesting change in weather patterns around densely crowded cities that burn hydrogen as a fuel source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
