This actually came from a daydream i had. Just seeing what appears to be a liquid ball of water that retains it's shape and doesn't join with other water screws with my head. I may expand this a bit, but i need to find a good direction for it.

This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-791.
What happens to SCP-791 under pressure? Does it react like normal water, or does it react like a massive amount of water compressed into little ball size? The potential usefullnesses of a supercompressed hydraulic system are amazing. Also, SCP-791 compressed during a draining event, same scenario.
Even if it can't be compressed at all, a steel ball built to encircle (ensphere?) it completely with a single valve to be opened during draining events would accomplish much the same thing. you could generate an absolutely rediculous amount of hydroelectric power.
Thinking along the same lines, can SCP-791 be superheated? Huge, maybe infinite amount of water + small space + steam conversion = Enourmous amounts of power. This thing could run a steampunk city.
For that matter, maybe that's what it's for.
/me imagines a steampunk world powered by heated and pressurised 'aquaceous spheres'.
There are enough SCPs on this site that can be used to generate "free" energy for twice the world over. The fact that none of them (or at least I haven't come across one) are used in such a manner leads me to believe O5 are a bunch of dicks.
MacLeod, please don't call people out like this. Leave it to staff.
Necroposting is alright if the person is adding meaningful contribution or continuation to the conversation. In this case, this suffices since it's not spammy, nor is it just "+1 I like it."

Keep in mind that there's no guarantee that things would go well if the world had free energy from an anomalous source. What happens when the world becomes reliant on it? What happens if the object suddenly stops working? Also, the point of the Foundation is to make sure that no one in the general public knows that anomalies exist. It'd be pretty hard to power the world using an anomaly while keeping it secret.
Also, what happens when people try to abuse that free energy?
Is it even chemically possible for water to have an "elevated ammount of hydrogen" and still be water?
Non-chemistry guy says:
You can aerate water by having air intermingled in it, so I have to imagine you can do the same with hydrogen.
Air is fairly stable. Hydrogen is so reactive that it glomps anything that comes near it. I wasn't even considering the possibility that it was gaseous, as it would tend to, y'know, spontaneously explode…
So, same question?
I'm fairly confident that hydrogen doesn't spontaneously explode. Even if I'm wrong, I imagine Hydrgen aerated into water wouldn't be very combustive.
I'm assuming you mean "bonds" when you mean "glomps" - THAT I don't know. From half listened to conversations with my girlfriend, I thought oxygen and (or?) carbon were sluttier and attached themselves to anything.
Like I say, though - don't know. Not the chemical guy.
yes, you can have extra hydrogen. That's how acids work. If you put H2SO4 in water, the H+ will disassociate from the sulfuric acid, and attaches to the water, forming H3O+.
tl;Dr: acidic water has a higher ratio of hydrogen.
I like it, but it feels like a little too much was expunged at the end. It gives just a taste of something communicative but… I'm just left wanting.
I'm gonna hold my vote. It's well written and sensible, and could be really great, but I need a little more to chew on.
I think this could be better with less expungement.
