Thanks for the interesting information which I did post to the list so
expect some questions..<g>..
I was most intrigued by your comment about the expansion of water by
1676 times its volume.
I knew nitrogen going from its cryogenic state to a gas state will
expand 980 times its volume but this was new to me.
The reason I am so enthralled with it is because of a claim written in
the late 1800's about Keely type stuff from a guy who said there was a
'commonly known' method of producing a mechanically derived pressure
from water.
Apparently involving cooling in the process but I'd have to look up
the details (only in a small letter to a newspaper which I've posted
here before).
The guy says he ROUTINELY produced 15-17 psi for his experiments just
by somehow manipulating water mechanically....this is VERY IMPORTANT
and I've not been able to find anyone who has a clue about it.
Why? Because he said that using this same mechanical technique he
could easily generate any pressure so desired simply by scaling up the
device.
It was apparently a very small table top unit that produced the 15-17
psi.
Do you have any thoughts on this???

Today we have vacuums as high as 28.5 inches of Hg. Thats not
difficult to believe when you know that when water first starts to
boil it expands 1676 times, so it's easy to see that when it
condenses it must contract 1676 times.
