[Terrapreta] Energy Source

[David Yarrow]

the first report i saw about this last summer indicated the first experiment was done using sea water.  but in the youtube video, morton salt (table salt = sodium chloride + additives) is used.  sea water contains a complex mix of all 90 water soluble elements, including the heavy metal rare earths.  morton salt is purified sodium chloride, with tiny amounts of other very light elements added as dessicants and flowing agents.

even before this report appeared, my common sense understanding of physics suggested that high efficiency hydrolysis can be achieved using the proper resonant frequencies -- pulsed or alternating -- and the right multi-valent heavy metal alloy electrodes.

in this experiment, with the limited information i have about it, an electric was not created flowing through the salt solution, as in conventional hydrolysis, in which an external DC power source is applied to a pair of electrode immersed in a solution, which is often doped with electrolytes to improve its conductivity.  curiously, ironically, when i did electrolysis as a teen scientist, i used carbon electrodes.

anyway, in this recent experiment, the RF was applied as a high energy beam of electromagnetic radiation -- much like a cellphone or microwave oven.  the intention of this method as a cancer therapy is much like chemotherapy -- using thermal effects from RF resistance to heat up and kill tumor cells, rather than a toxic chemical.  one researcher got truly deviously clever and injected nano-particles of metal into the tumors, which dramatically accelerated these thermal destructive effects.  curious idea, but just another variation on the obsolete paradigm that medicine is the biological equivalent of war, requiring toxic, hot weapons to kill enemies.

and anyway, to bring this back into focus, my interest in burning water by high efficiency hydrolysis because this is what plants do in their first step of photosynthesis, which captures 4 photons to pry 4 hydrogens off two water molecules, creating an electric circuit with the 4 electrons and 4 protons.  step two in photosynthesis is the carbon fixation:  CO2 plus more water = carbohydrate.  string and spin carbs into various polymer geometries and it becomes cellulose, starch, lignin, etc.

if plants do this, maybe we should follow this model, too.

and contrary to what sean's sources report, plant photosynthesis is very efficient.  plants evolved successfully by sharing and cooperating in larger ecological communities.  one technical requirement is a plant doesn't try to grab all the photons that fall on leaves.  leaves are deliberately thin to be transparent, and alow some sunlight to shine on creatures in the lower stories of the local ecosystem.

enough of this theory.  i gotta go harvest some biomass with my carbon-emitting lawnmower to mulch my gardens, shade my soil and smother weeds.  in my extreme naturalist view, long ago gave up believing human socirety will make make ecological sense within my lifetime.  the best i hope for is to wake the folk up and support a 180 degree turn from planet destroying ecological madness, to care and respect for the community of life.  in the interim, as a suburban homeowner, i mow, i mow, its off to mow i go... ho ho ho.....

  Not really.    I think that there was some optical ( color compensating ) issues going on as well - notice the reflected light from the flame was of a more reddish nature than the actual flame was.

  The color of the reflected light, would have been more in line with strontium than that given off by sodium.

    SNIP

      hence my question about the orange flame from the RF-stimulated burning water.  sodium burns yellow -- a shade i believe is different than the orange shown in the youtube video.
