Efficient Liberation of Stored Hydrogen Bond
Energy from Liquid Water – A Novel Renewable Energy Resource
Neal
Graneau, United Kingdom
Pulsed high current arcs in liquid water are
regularly observed to produce powerful explosions which have several
commercial applications from medicine to civil engineering. Experiments
that have measured the momentum of the resulting micron-scale droplets
have indicated that their net directed kinetic energy can be greater
than the supplied electrical energy. Since no gaseous hydrogen or
oxygen is generated, it can only be deduced that the source of the
gained energy is the ruptured hydrogen bonds. This excess energy is not
observed when water is vapourized by heat and thus the mechanism for
efficient liberation of the stored energy is hypothesised to be the
result of cold directed forces between individual water molecules,
which in the case of the water arc explosions are presumably of
electrodynamic origin. To test this theory, an experiment was devised
in which the power balance of a continuous electrospray system was
analysed which subjects water molecules to bond breaking electrostatic
forces. Under certain stable conditions, the total downward kinetic
power of the droplet flow can be measured and has been found to be
greater than all of the power inputs into the system which are
dominated by the supplied electric power.
The energetics of generic chemical bonding are discussed to demonstrate
that although this discovery has never been publicly anticipated, it is
consistent with conventional theory. These experiments suggest possible
exploitation of this stored energy for the generation of electricity.
It appears possible to produce a renewable energy electricity generator
with an enclosed volume of water which produces power by tapping into
the thermal heat bath which surrounds us.
Ohmasa gas technology
Christer
Evensen, Sweden
A future fuel from water, available today. A
personal report from an
entrepreneurs viewpoint on how to reach the market with a new
water-fuel. To drive cars on water, 50-100 % Ohmasa gas, can be done.
What main obstacles needs to be overcome to make it happen on a large
scale? Personal and professional experiences will be presented from a
year of cooperation with Dr Ohmasa and his fuel from water, Ohmasa gas.
What did the scientists say, the professors and the experts, involved
investors and the customers, when presented to this new fuel and
opportunity? How come we do not see much Ohmasa gas (or other water
fuels) in commercial business yet? Basic technical facts about his
technology will be explained, along with some vital ingredients leading
towards a faster market introduction.

Free energy
Ulf
Dahlstrom, USA
An overview presentation giving a short
historical review of my time
with Stanley Meyer and some of his technology. There are no results,
since he is
no longer here and didn't get to finish his devices. However, there are
others trying and some might be pretty close. The current
situation with transitional HHO technologies using water / electrolyte
is also touched upon.
Neutrinopower,
a new source of natural energy,
explained by the expanding earth as an example
Konstantin Meyl,
Germany
When adjusting the energy production of the
fluctuating energy demand no more costly energy storage would be
required. The 98% non-visible radiation field of the sun would be
available as a natural source of energy, in addition available all day
and night time. The main component is composed of neutrino radiation,
introduced by Pauli as mass less but energy carrying particles to be
able to fulfil the balance sheet of energy for the beta decay. Nothing
would be more obvious than to technically use the neutrino radiation as
an energy source.
But for a technical application a useful model description of the
particles and their interaction is imperative. For the sake of
simplicity we imagine the neutrino to be an oscillating particle, which
permanently oscillates back and forth between the state of an electron
and that of a positron. With that the polarity changes from positive to
negative and back again and the charge averaged over time is zero.
Because of the change from a state of matter to the state of an
antiparticle also next to no mass can be measured anymore.
A technical oscillator operated in resonance, which oscillates with the
same frequency but opposite charge, will interact with the particle and
build up an oscillating electromagnetic interaction, with which we
already are familiar as the weak interaction in the proximity of a
neutrino.
The propagation of particle radiation as a longitudinal shock wave
however can’t be described with the normally used field theory and the
Maxwell equations, so that the field theory at this point must be
extended. The required extension has been done by the Helmholtz-Society
in 2009 with the discovery of magnetic monopoles, involved with the
generalization of the 3rd Maxwell equation. Since this the way is free
for all to use natural energy from the sun, Viktor Schauberger may have
found first. According to the prophecy of Nikola Tesla: humanity will
have finally connected their energy technology to the machinery of
nature.
Some reflections on Viktor Schauberger's early
energy research
Lasse Johansson, Sweden
A brief discussion on the origin of Viktor Schauberger's energy
research and similarities to effects found in research on cold fusion
(NERL), particularly research by Les Case and the Rossi reactor. An
patent application from the 1930s sheds new light on Schauberger's
catalysts and his reported transmutation product of pure copper in the
1930s, which is described in his memoirs.
Research on Viktor Schauberger's repulsine
Jörg
Schauberger, Austria
Did the Repulsine (also known as Viktor
Schauberger's Flying Disc) ever fly? Could it be used as a propulsion
system for airplanes or submarines (as Viktor suggested)? Or could it
work as a power generator? For many years the German Verein für
Implosionsforschung (Klaus Rauber & Co.) tried to solve some
mysteries around the Repulsine, testing replicas in their workshop.
Recently the future-lab of EADS (Airbus Company) took over the
investigations and built up a new high-tech test-stand in their
headquaters near Munich. One of the goals: generating power for a
fuel-less, zero-emission airplane, scheduled for 2025, with a little
help from Viktor.
Tapping Into a New Source of Solar Energy
Bernice Kadatz & Juan Segura, Canada
Viktor Schauberger saw forests as power
centers for the
surrounding landscape and trees as energy laden bodies which radiate
energy into the immediate environment. A system of commonly available
components was used to collect and concentrate this tree energy. Once
collected a standard solar photovoltaic grid tie system was used to
convert the energy into a usable form. To clearly demonstrate the
capability of the system, experimental data was collected during
non-daylight hours thus eliminating any contribution from the sun.
This presentation will: present information on how the tree energy is
possible, describe the experimental system used to collect the tree
energy and present the preliminary findings from two types of
collections systems tested.
Vortex Physics as a phenomenon of electric and
magnetic fields (Poster presentation)
Konstantin Meyl,
Germany
Field-physics is 25 times older than
quantum-physics and can be
traced back all the way to the early Greek natural philosophers.
Vortex-physics is another offspring of field-physics, however it has
been system-atically rejected by quantum-physics . Which in turn often
times has a lot to do with politics and not always with science. It
could in fact be the case that vortex-physics has been suppressed by
its own “sister”, ever since it too has produced distinguished
representatives. A mathematical deriva-tion shows that the currently
known formulas and laws of electrodynam-ics are incomplete and
insufficient in describing all its associated phenom-ena. Via a new
formulation and extension of Maxwell´s equation it be-comes
possible to
calculate a potential-vortex, its effect on the dielectric medium can
be measured and its existence made evident through observ-able natural
phenomena.
Alternative water
flow - Viktor Schauberger's river engineering principles
The Oulanka expeditions - an overview
Lasse Johansson,
Sweden
The Oulanka expeditions, by the Institute of Ecological Technology in
Sweden, were planned as a series of expeditions in the early 1980s to
verify or correct Viktor Schauberger's theories on water transport,
water quality and hydrological processes – in untouched wilderness
areas. Two expeditions, in 1980 and 1981, were carried out at Oulanka
National Park (a remote wilderness area in northern Finland) although
more
expeditions were planned.
This presentation gives an overview of the research programme, its
origin and some
of the main results from the expeditons. Key principles of Viktor
Schauberger's perspective on natural waters, such as positive and
negative temperature gradients, plant/riverbed/flow interaction, flow
axis rotation etc., are covered. Ways ahead to continue the
research programme is discussed.

Instream river training - Nature based stream
regulation, overview and results (Poster
presentation)
Niels Werdenberg,
Switzerland (presented by Jörg Schauberger)
Most hydraulic engineering methods in rivers
focus on bank enhancement
for protecting the banks from erosion. By contrast, a variety of modern
installations like “micro groins” (dt. = Lenkbuhnen) and “meandering
ramps” (dt. = Pendelrampe) are effectively guiding eroding currents
away from the banks and hence lowering sheer stress in the bank area.
These relatively small installations (i.e. built of natural boulders)
operate from within the river bed, not from the banks. Accordingly
these designs have been combined under the term instream river
training. A further key feature is the generation of a spiral flow
which has an effect on both the sediment transport as well as on the
velocity distribution. As opposed to conventional groins, Instream
river training (IRT) structures protrude only marginally from the river
bed (i.e. 0.15m), yet they operate efficiently during floods. IRT has
effectively been used to adjust the current and diminish sheer stress
in order to reduce or omit bank enhancement structures. Micro groins
also contribute substantially to the formation of aquatic habitat by
deflecting flow energy into the river bed and forming scour pools. The
resulting diverse bed morphology also benefits microbial decomposition
processes, and in combination with aerating vortices enhances water
quality.
Water, plants, planets and projective geometry
Florin Secosan,
Romania
The paper encloses an overview of a few researches on water and plants.
It mainly concerns with the discoveries of Viktor Schauberger and
Lawrence Edwards and compares the essentials of these researches. All
the shapes used by Schauberger are related to a family of shapes and
curves known to projective geometry as the invariants of projective
transformations of the space into itself.
Whereas Schauberger arrived to these shapes via a fenomenological
approach of water behaviour and its flowing tendencies, Edwards
discovered them in the plant and animal world and proposed a
mathematical model that suggests, on one hand, a possible unified
theory and on the other hand a deeper understanding of these water
flows. The paper not only underline the theoretical implications
of such an unification on how we understand Nature but also talks about
possible practical implications that might be useful to the development
of eco-technology, for instance with regard to alternative water flows.
These ideas may also contribute to the development of bionics and
biomimetics.
Keywords: water, plants, buds, eggs, vortex, heart, projective
geometry, planets, flowing shapes, morphic fields, biodynamic
agriculture, biodynamic beekeeping.

configurations.
Experiences with meandering water and
flowforms (Practical
workshop)
Nigel Wells, Sweden
In
the workshop we will experience how a river shapes
from a straight canal into a meandering water way. We will be able to
shape different flow forms ourselves in a clay stream.
Alternative water
flow - General questions & Other topics
A new vortexing device and a search for supportive research
Jan Capjon, Norway
The development of a new water vortexing device, inspired by
Schauberger, will be presented.As basis for its possible marketing, a
quest aimed at identifying supportive research was undertaken. A White
paper with objective to raise research funding for standardisation of
water quality measurement methods resulted from IWONE 2011. Reasons for
its unsuccessful fate will be suggested.
Diverse international research projects are presently trying to reach
some shared, unorthodox understanding of how water quality can be
characterised and described (other than measurement of contaminants).
Radical research and understanding, mostly with basis in quantum
physics, will be introduced.
The research of Lawrence Edwards, on basic formative metamorphoses and
geometries in nature, through projective geometry, could represent a
meaningful interaction between form and water quality.
Quantum oscillations in natural waters
Benny Johansson,
Sweden
The Vincent profile is an estimate of loss or storage of energy
calculated from the level of entropy in water. The
bioelectro-coordinates, i.e. the redox potential and pH are a
recognized method to quantify the Vincent factor. A-low entropy state
equals a structural ordered state of water. Recently, the clustering
model of liquid water has highlighted that formation of ordered
structures in water depends on the process of dissipative structures
and quantum field coupling. Far from equilibrium molecular chaos is
turned into a coherent state with fractal ordering due to spontaneous
self-organization driven by a decrease in entropy. Studies have been
performed to evaluate the correlation between the Vincent factor and a
value of fractal irregularity in tap, spring and bottled drinking
water. An example will be given how consumption in healthy humans of
coherent ordered mineral water induces and improves a coherent fractal
state measured in body fluids and as physiological restoration of the
heart rate.
Vortex water
treatment in Giubiasco town
Giorgio Iacuzzo
& Estelle Balesdent
Giubiasco is a city in Switzerland with vortex
powered water net and is probably the only town in the world with such
a system. The 9.000 citizens in Giubiasco town near the the state
capital Bellinzona from 2004 can enjoy an advanced water supply
distribution. Drinking water are supplied from a mountain source spring
and partially from a ground reservoir at level ground.
Architect Tiziano Paolini, also the city water manager, made a project
to restore the water distribution system installing in the water
collecting room some flowform devices. From then water quality improved
and citizens are now proud to drink the best swiss water. Also from
2005 sales of water bottles in supermarket of the area drop
dramatically, a clear sign that citizens prefer tap water
Water high quality was confirmed by Pfeiffer crystallization and by
microscope
ice analysis.
Interceptors in theory and practice
Jürgen Sass,
Sweden
For many years I have studied and practiced the use of interceptors in
different
boats. In doing so, I have been fascinated by its simplicity,
efficiency and great
opportunities. Properly designed and positioned can an interceptor
generate double lift or halved resistance in comparison with
conventional solutions.
Much new information has been added by recent years experiments in
model and full scale. Today I can be reliably calculate the interceptor
lift and drag, and thereby optimise all properties over the whole speed
range.
The presentation will include the history and different applications.
Interceptors can be used in many contexts.
Interceptors are most effective when they operate within the boundary
layer.
We know that something is happening within the boundary layer. However
...... What is actually happening? When does it happen? How does that
happen? Where is it happening? What limits are in addition to the
boundary layer thickness, velocity, viscosity, temperature ........?
I hope that the participants may be able to contribute knowledge about
what happens in the boundary layer.
Lossless shear flows
David Jonsson,
Sweden
Accelerated flows like flows in gravity do show some peculiarities in
regard to energy flow and differ from non accelerated flow. Accelerated
flows can have a non conducting heat gradient, the so called adiabatic
heat gradient, which also means that constant temperature in
accelerated flows leads to heat flow. There is also another behavior in
regard to viscosity. Viscous losses in the form of heat production is
usually associated with shear flow or velocity gradients in non
accelerated flows. In accelerated flows there can be shear flow without
viscosity, without drag and without heat production. The opposite
should be true, that stationary non floating flow would show viscous
loss, drag and viscosity, but is hard to imagine and show. The effects
should also be present in solid matter to a much lower extent.
Ecological economy - a need for new business models that embrace
disruptive and exotic
technologies
Christer Evensen,
Sweden
In challenging times of environmental and
economic downfall there is
great need for new innovations, more effective technologies and
different economic models. One can wonder why there is little or no
interest from mainstream market, the media and the scientific
community, to take a serious look at the so called "exotic" energy
solutions and concepts. Are the old systems and structures of society
finished or what can come to support them? The presentation will
highlight the importance of bold goals and shared intentions and
explain the beauty of "functional sales" and "crowdfunding". From where
will the new truly disruptive technologies come? What can be done today
and who should do it? One business model will be presented of a
"Sharing economy", focusing on freedom and friendship. It will open up
for further group discussions on the subject.
