Introduction: Context (mental workaround possibility, MWP) Imagine a year where liquid fuel in KSC is in crisis due to the blast of the nuclear power plant which provided energy for water eletrolysis in H2 + O- (H2O + e- = H2 + O- at the electrolysis plant which sells liquid H2 to KSC). But, for a milacre a interplanetary exploration vessel discover hydrogen traces in Moho's atmosphere (remember mission Koulomb?) shortly. Naturally it would be considered "better than Kerbonite and Kethane, in the middle of crisis" by the R&D Subsidiary manager, I mean, they naturally would extract! From Moho, yay! In other words... Here I have an theory on how they would have made it, presented in the best PhD format for an twelve in elementary school. Basic understandment requirements: Knowledge in contrary particles, i.e. positrons Fresh high-school knowledge in basic chemistry, electrolysis, pH and hydrogen bonds Knowledge in thermic isolation, seal systems, dissolution and etcetra Optional: ability to read a text scheme into a imaginary, "built" one Schemes: Extraction Reactor 1 The vessel that extracts H2 from Moho dissolve the captured air in a tank of accidized Kerbal(adjective for Kerbin) water (Reactor 1) and react positrons in the solution where H2 is separed from the rest of atmosphere, when hydrogen bonds are formed between the water particles. The atmospheric particles which remain in the tank (i.e. everything but Hydrogen) after the water have been put in the Reactor 2 is exhausted back into atmosphere. Reactor 2 Before entering the reactor, the just-hydrogenized water is centrifugated to remove other solved compounds (other elements from Moho atmosphere dissolved in Reactor 1), which are then exhausted. Once in the reactor, solar panels generate power to react the water with Electrons to separate the hydrogen bonds (i.e. hydrogen from Mohovian atmosphere) which just formed with positrons (the panels also make energy for everything else electricity-related here). The water, once the hydrogen has separated, returns to Reactor 1 for another cycle (the extraction system/cycle) and the hydrogen enters in a depressurized tank. When returning the pressure valve and the entering to the H2 tank are sealed to prevent future leaks. Manufacturing When the vessel returns, the hydrogen is cooled at a Ultra-Low Temperature (ULT, the inverse of UHT), to form liquid fuel, and keeped in thermic-isolation tanks to sell to KSP. Kerbals are ecologic; KSC sells back the isolation tanks (read: cans) for ecology and discount. KSC is to cool to enter bankruptcy. Note: I didn't mentioned the crisis included oxidizer, so let's just assume KSC already have excedents of it and only mixes with liquid H2 for further missions. P.S.: Remember bombarding Neodymium with Cerium results in Ununoctium which rapid Alpha decay can be used to power electricity!
