Would be nice if we could build a miniature artificial star as an energy source.
Allthough that might require a vacuüm and 0 gravity enviroment like space.
Sorry SKA, but there is a little mistake in your "equation".
Yes stars are hydrogen reaktors, but their exhaustproduct isn´t water it´s helium. The reaction which is taking place in a star is atomic fusion not molecular reaction.
It´s simply too hot for molecular bindings.
This brings me to the question how can water be formed near by or in a star and then be spilled out?
The H2O molecule destabilizes between 950 and 2500°C (depends on pressure,etc.) and falls apart into Hydrogen and Oxygen. When these two molecules cool down, they don´t necessarily re-react with each other especially not in a low pressure environment like open space.
And if they would react you would have a flamethrower type of reaction in a certain distance from the star. But the picture doesn´t provide evidence for that.
Really strange!
After all that´s a much more plausible explaination for the question where the water on our planet is coming from, than asteroids etc.
