Ivan Canas: Snow in Kenya A Climate Change Anomaly or a Man Made bad joke?

Reuters
Sep 3 - Residents in Kenya's Rift Valley celebrate the area's first ever snowfall with snow ball fights and a day off work and school.

The small village of Busara 255 Kilometres northwest of the Kenyan capital, Nairobi awoke to a strange phenomenon on Wednesday (September 3).

An area of about one square kilometre was covered in what meteorologists called snowflakes, blanketing a whole hillside.

No. You get steam, which is water vapour. In order to separate O and H, you need electrolyze the water. And in order to get He, you need to fusion the H, and you do not do that in a steam engine.

[JonThm]

No. We get radiation rom pure steam, turning it into He, O and gamma waves

[perpiotrredman]

Easy: They don't. At most, they release radioactive isotopes from the material that's heating the steam. As I noted before, you seem to be using a non-standard definition of a steam engine. If you could be more specific, perhaps so could the criticism.

Steam engines produce He and gamma wave radiation: Explain! No fission - has to be fusion

[perpiotrredman]

Most things do. That doesn't mean you're observing fusion.

Use a Geiger counter - steam engines give out nuclear radiation: This came out on my degree in 1982

[perpiotrredman]

No, a steam engine is a mechanical engine driven by the expansion of heated steam, its expansion according to Avogadro's constant. No nuclear fusion or fission involved, until you choose to heat that steam using nuclear power such as fission or fusion.

I hope you're not talking about sonoluminescence in heavy water, as that single spark produced at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute was never reproduced.

So you see, I'm not guessing wildly.

From my M.Eng, yes it is! Go check today!

@JonThm What you're describing is not a "steam engine".

[JonThm]

A worknig steam engine makes gamma wave radaition, and produces He and O, plus heat - from water. On Earth. Today.
