From: Archimedes Plutonium on 2 May 2010 01:40 Now I am fascinated on which of these two alternatives to use. Whether to use fresh water or salt water. Or whether the world can start a massive desalination of the oceans and send the salt to the Volcanoes in which we add the salt as a heat retardant in order to better control. So that salt would serve as the controller of Volcanoes. So that given a uncontrollable volcano such as Mt. St. Helens or the recent Iceland or the Pinatuba of Philippines in the 1990s. That if we had salt available and pumped it down the volcano that they would have been subdued. So I looked in Wikipedia on sodium chloride as to whether to use salt water or fresh water to run the Electric Power Station. --- quoting from Wikipedia --- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_chloride Sodium chloride is the principal extinguishing agent in fire extinguishers (Met-L-X, Super D) used on combustible metal fires such as magnesium, potassium, sodium, and NaK alloys (Class D). (snipped) [edit] In weather Small particles of sea salt are the dominant cloud condensation nuclei well out at sea, which allow the formation of clouds in otherwise non- polluted air (snipped) --- end quoting Wikipedia --- Sodium Chloride has a melting point of 801C, and boiling point at 1413C. So what I am guessing is that we use FreshWater for the electric power station but that we desalinate as much water as possible of its salt and we ship this salt to a Volcano Station Complex wherein we pump pure salt into the Volcano should it be acting up or overheating. So what we eventually do is "free up more of the oceans of its salt content" and making the oceans more freshwater. Notice also that some of this salt will travel from the Volcano into the atmosphere, and possibly increasing cloud formation and thus increasing rain over the Earth. If there is a volcano near a desert like climate, it could possibly improve the rainfall. Kilimanjaro in Africa comes to mind. And the New Zealand Volcanoes may improve the rainfall over much of Australia.

Hot water is extremely corrosive by itself. Add an electrolyte and you might as well be working with acid/oxidizer mixtures. Tom Davidson Richmond, VA |
