Polarized Hydrogen

Featured Replies

I came across an article on Polarized Hydrogen on the internet but only one. I am curious if any one has any more information on it.

 

What I read was that at very cold temperatures Hydrogen will spin at high rates polorize itself and emit energy. Does anyone know of any more studies concerning it or is it false.

Cold temperatures mean a lack of molecular kinetic energy. Temperature is molecular kinetic energy in fact. So anything spinning rapidly when cold is just ridiculous, unless it spins even more rapidly when hot. Similarly ridiculous is something releasing energy when cold for the same reasons.

 

Secondly, why would spinning cause something to polarize? I'm apparently missing a chunk of logic here, because that makes no sense.

 

Hydrogen gas is indeed susceptible to becoming an instantaneous or induced dipole, as are all other bonds for that matter. However, these have nothing to do with spinning or emitting energy.
