I didn't know that water had free ions? H is +1 and O is -2. H2 (+2) and O1 (-2) should mean that water doesn't have free ions. I could be very wrong on this. I only know what I read in my spare time, and I have never taken a chemistry class.
Could you explain this further?
Water does not have free ions which is why it doesn't conduct electricity. However, in common use water is impure and contains electrolytes which exist as ions in solution.
So pure water doesn't conduct electricity? It works as an insulator? I have a hard time believing this.
Edit: After more reading I'm starting to see what you are saying. Amazing. Learn something new every day.

Gore - The comment I made is specifically about north korean nukes. I even had 'nuclear bomb' in the sentence, and 'they' refers to North Korea. Are you certain this was the first off topic sentence? I don't really care that much, but you're blameing me for derailing, and then quote me being on topic. Perhaps you are drunk?
Edit: And usually I don't mind threads getting off topic. My pet peeve is threads that are made for no reason.

Actually, you initiated it blademeld by asking if I was a conspiracy theorist. I just answered your question and didn't expect it to go into more detail.
Same here, I was expecting a one word answer from you.
I assumed your statement about America not being credible initiated this conversation because MyTie skipped my post either way.

Water doesn't conduct electricity, it actually repels it, however, you are correct in the sense that H has a positive charge and O has a negative charge. Water will have a bit of basic and equally acidic properties to it (bases and acid are measured in ratios of H to OH). However, due to the minute amount of this separation within the water, distilled water is a very poor conductor to the point of it being able to repel electric charges.

When it does separate via that method, they change into gas.

Technically yes, but in practice not so much. High electric currents will cause water to decompose into Hydrogen and Oxygen.
What amounts are 'high'? And will this change the state that water is in? Will this change it to a gas? Is this just because the heat of resistance evaporates it?

It changes it to gas because it breaks the bond between O and H.
Then the H's get together and O's get together.
You will see that since tehre are 2H's per O, you will have twice the amount of Hydrogen gas made compared to Oxygen gas.

There's nothing much to say about your post, America is hypocritical.

Does it use heat to break the bond?
And how much electricity? If all you have to do is electrocute water and filter out bottles of hydrogen, and you can do sell the bottled hydrogen for more than it costs to electrocute the water and filter the byproducts... it could be a business venture...

We can go to war and be against it, we can eat a cake, and still have it!

No, I don't drink. I think drinking is completely unnecessary for the most part and have never had a beer in my life.
This thread is about North Korea. If you can't stay on topic, please leave. Hipocrit.
(See what I did there?)

Not that I'm aware of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis_of_water
so I'll let you get the last word (though I doubt you'll take the chance, it's not like you).
Last word: What.

I guess it is inefficient when competeing with fossil fuels. When Al Gore's predictions prove right, fossil fuels run out, then maybe it will be profitable.

On-topic: I think that someone should go in an kick North Korea's ass. I barely tolerate nukes, and I certainly can't stand someone launching them, test or not.
