[quote:MADaGAScar 79025813:MV80NDc0NzM5XzgxNDk2MDkzX0RFQkRGNDIz] that particular molecular bond is one of the fascinating things about the creation. in order to break that bond, and release that energy you would need to either raise the temperature of the mixture (the water) to it's boiling point of 212F at which point all of the H would escape into the atmosphere in the form of hot steam, and unless you have an apparatus attached to "catch" that hot steam (at which point it would return to it's room temp state and in the process losing bits of itself (little H's) that the oxygen in the air steals and that old bond is formed again, and becomes ittle baby HH0 drops [/quote]
