I’ll have you know we break them on a regular basis on my home planet. How the heck do you think I got here?!
Unfortunately not all of us are privy to the technology so I can’t help you with how it works. I just know my pod uses it.
Every so often we have to rehash this. Remember the covalent bond of hydrogen to oxygen is very strong in water which is precisely why this is so energy intensive to break.
