We all know that water is a fairly common resource, and oil is a valuable fossil resource, but would you believe it if someone told you that he could turn water into oil and that it would be more economical than regular gasoline and diesel? I believe that many people's first reaction is to think that this person is bragging, and converting relatively cheap water into expensive and non-renewable oil is tantamount to a fool's dream. However, in 1984, a bus driver in Harbin really turned water into oil, and was once known as China's fifth greatest invention abroad, so he turned from a bus driver to a scientist in an instant, but after 13 years, he was imprisoned for this technology, what is going on? Let's take a look.
Wang Hongcheng was born in 1954 in Harbin, Northeast China, his ancestors were poor peasants for generations, and he was forced to drop out of school after only four years of primary school, and later in order to make a living and subsidize his family, he raised pigs, learned carpenters, and also served as soldiers.
Coincidentally, it was just in time for the country's strategic development decision to rejuvenate the country through science and education in 1984, so there was a scientific craze in the whole country, and Wang Hongcheng saw this opportunity and claimed that he had invented a catalyst that could turn water into oil, and the product of this water into oil was not only more economical and practical, but also more efficient than ordinary gasoline and diesel.
However, because Wang Hongcheng did not even graduate from junior high school and did not have too high scientific knowledge, he has always been very suspicious of him in the society, but Wang Hongcheng responded to the doubts in the society, and he personally showed his invention of turning water into oil through ** video and national tour.
He added a small amount of gasoline to the clean water, with the "Hongcheng base liquid" it blended, through a chemical reaction, the water can be turned into gasoline and ignited instantly, and the heat generated is much higher than that of ordinary gasoline and diesel, and after adding this so-called water to oil to the car, it can really be driven on the road, so the people who saw it with their own eyes are convinced of this, and no one suspects that he will fake, plus Wang Hongcheng also specially invited a special scientific research institution to make an authoritative determination on this, which further deepened the credibility, Even the presidents and professors of many well-known universities have endorsed Wang Hongcheng's invention, and also jointly signed the above-mentioned state guarantee that this technology is successful, so that Wang Hongcheng completely changed from a bus driver to an inventor, and many companies have begun to invest in Wang Hongcheng's research, and finally he actually made a crazy fortune of 400 million yuan with this technology, and also founded a science and technology company with funds.
But the good times did not last long, a few years later, more than a dozen buses in Harbin, Northeast China, because of the addition of "Hongchengji liquid" to the fuel tank, so that the engine was seriously worn, and finally led to the scrapping of the car, then people realized that they were deceived by Wang Hongcheng, but at this time Wang Hongcheng had already fled with the money.
In 1995, after the rigorous scientific certification of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Academician He Zuoma personally exposed this trick full of loopholes, bluntly said that water to oil is nonsense, in fact, this oil mixture seems to be able to support combustion, but this kind of thing can not only evaporate water, but also with a high concentration of heat generated when water vapor evaporates, a large number of water molecules into the engine fuel tank, over time the car fuel tank will be scrapped, and Wang Hongcheng's so-called catalyst is actually soap, The reason why it can take on a different color when added to water is because of the addition of non-ferrous metals.
In 1997, the state prosecuted Wang Hongcheng for sabotaging economic construction, fraud, and selling counterfeit and shoddy products, and sentenced him to 10 years in prison.
We all know that water and oil are two different substances, their atomic composition is different, so theoretically these two things cannot be transformed into each other, but water can replace "oil", as long as human beings can master the controlled nuclear fusion technology, they can turn water into "oil". Nuclear fusion refers to the combination of different atoms to become one atom, such as the combination of two isotopes of hydrogen, deuterium and tritium, to form helium atoms, which can also release energy in the process, and the hydrogen required for nuclear fusion can be obtained in seawater.
According to calculations, the energy produced by the fusion of 1g of hydrogen and hydrogen isotopes is equivalent to 8 tons of gasoline, and the energy produced by the fusion of 33mg of hydrogen is equivalent to the energy produced by the combustion of 300 kg of gasoline, and there will be no radiation pollution.
It is worth noting that we have made the biggest breakthrough in nuclear fusion technology, and perhaps one day in the future, we can get rid of the shackles of energy and truly turn water into "oil"!
