| May 1, 2020 at 5:08 | comment | added | Thucydides | Technically it can be done. Fill a tube with water and place a nuclear weapon at one end. In the microseconds before the entire device vapourizes, the x-ray radiation from the bomb will turn the water into plasma. You can place something at the other end so the plasma can transmit the energy of the nuke to create work, like accelerating a projectile to 100 km/sec. | |
| Apr 30, 2020 at 17:30 | comment | added | In Hoc Signo | I tend to agree with @Willk in that this question should have been left open. Although this could use paragraphs, it is a perfectly good question. Although it doesn't technically follow the letter of the law, I personally think we should leave these kinds of speculative "could we do this" questions open. +1 and a reopen vote. | |
