Pretty sure you are confusing this with another reaction.
Remember your hydrogen series where both magnesium and hydrogen are
classed as metals...

Magnesium can be made to react with hydrogen to produce magnesium
hydride. It is not a simple reaction and typically requires a
catalytical halide or organic halide to create. Patent numbers of the
process available on request. Plus the reaction would never be termed
"burning" by any chem major.

Magnesium reacts reasonably well with all of the halogens, and burning
magnesium cannot be extinguished with water, carbon dioxide, etc. since
it will break those apart and burn the resulting oxygen and leave behind
hydrogen or carbon.

Whoopee freaking mensa doo. You aren't the only mensa qualified lurker
here, as I know at least two others--both of whom wouldn't join that
outfit on a bet as it is overrun with folks who may test well on *some*
intelligence tests but couldn't find their rear with both hands if you
spotted them two cheeks and the smell. i.e. too many jerkwads like you
far too overestimating of their own intellect to actually have any.

Nor do you know what you are talking about regarding cold fusion.

Yeah, so how are Fleischmann and Pons doing lately? Working on the Dean
Drive perhaps?

I *think* the Jags had this up to at least the '61 3.8S model, after
that stopped paying attention to Jag sedans, as they were all slightly
less reliable than a teenage mistress.
