#2, When you say the world have limited amounts of material I would certainly disagree, because the amount of mass underneath the earth's crust is unimaginable, as the pressure of exerted onto it by itself is so huge, and the nearer to the centre, although the heat is so great, but are believed to be solid, so how much matter is squashed under the earth?
|
#2 the amount of material the earth is made of is unimaginable/infinite? well, it's been calculated. if you can't imagine it, you need a better imagination
|
yes the materials on the earth may be able to be estimated, but it's only a number, and I don't know what point ur trying to make again
|
Whilst the amount may unimaginable, it's still a finite number, and hence there is a limit to the amount of energy available for use.

and yeah, so you mentioned fuel and oxygen will make it ignite (I assume you know it's called a chemical reaction?) and with a catalyst, it will react at a lower temp., so? Turning water into H2 and O2 is a chemical reaction, and I said that I've heard a rumour that a catalyst can help this chemical reaction, is it quantum theory? No, is this too hard for you to understand? I hope not...
|
Reducing water into it's constituent atoms may be a chemical reaction, but if a metal is consumed in the process then the metal isn't a catalyst - it's a reactant. I think you might be confused as to the definition of a catalyst.
Emphasis added. Not that Wikipedia is a definitive source, but I don't have better references with me.
For instance, if you were to use a battery to electrolise water, then the electrodes within the battery are consumed in the reaction. Unfortunately there is no free ride. I think this is missing the point of the thread though. 
At some point it becomes cheaper to run your car on toluene or alcohol than petrol. Rock on the high octane fun!
