Dry Water

Novek 1230 - Powder (dry) water was discovered in 1968. For a while, they forgot about this discovery. Probably, considering that dry water is not needed. However, many scientists argue that this substance can help humanity cope with global warming.

At the beginning of the 21st century, studies of dry water were resumed. A group of English scientists from the University of Liverpool began to solve problems on the practical use of this discovery.

Dry water, the composition of which includes ninety-five percent of ordinary water, looks like sugar powder. Each cap is covered by a special shell of silicon dioxide. This combination of oxygen and silicon is considered to be the most stable. The shell of silicon dioxide does not allow spreading and merging into droplets. The size of each drop is not more than one micron.

During the experiments, it was found that dry water has an excellent ability to absorb gases. Presumably, the substance can absorb gases that provoke the appearance of a greenhouse effect on the planet. It was this direction of practical application of the substance that Liverpool scientists studied. In the laboratory, it was found that dry water can absorb in itself three times more carbon dioxide than plain water for the same period of time.

The substance, probably, can help to extract the frozen methane, which is at the bottom in the oceans. The discovery of dry water can help to collect and accumulate in sufficiently large quantities other gases that are difficult to extract. In addition, the technology of obtaining a substance can also be applied to other liquids. This also opens up promising opportunities in the development of many branches of technology and science.

Along with this, English scientists tried to prove that the use of such a form of liquid can be actual in the transportation and storage of potentially hazardous materials. So, for example, the researchers suggested that it is possible to obtain a new method for storing motor fuel for engines working on hydrogen.

Dry water, the formula of which CF3CF2C (O) CF (CF3) 2, has two common properties with ordinary water. Both substances have neither taste nor smell. In simple water, oxygen acts as an oxidizing agent. Oxidizing agent in this substance is fluorine.

In dry water, the boiling point is about fifty degrees, and the freezing point is one hundred and eight degrees. However, even in the process of boiling, scientists say, if you drop your hands in Novek 1230, then there will be no burn. The substance has a high density.

Due to the lack of ability to conduct current, dry water can be used in electrically safe rooms. The substance decomposes under the influence of ultraviolet. In open containers, dry water can be stored for no more than five days.

The substance is widely used in fire extinguishing, especially in rooms where a large number of electronics and high voltage equipment are concentrated. To such premises, for example, you can include generator, server, power, transformer and so on. The fire-extinguishing effect is achieved by cooling and active absorption of heat.

Powder water does not affect destructively on paper. It is in this regard, in the archive rooms, in museums trying to install a fire fighting system using Novek 1230. For example, this system is used in the Hermitage.

Powder water for humans is harmless. However, researchers do not recommend drinking it. A small boiling point will not allow you to make tea or coffee in powdered water. Sugar in it also does not dissolve.

According to scientists, powdered water will soon be used everywhere.
