The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor Paperback – May 1, 2013

If ever there existed the foundation for a cheap renewable energy, this book is the missing information that will explain it once it has been found. This is not a book about what I just said. It is about a new structure experimentally discovered in the phases of water that simply explains the wierd behavior we under certain conditions find in plain water. What is not ice, not liquid and not a gas, but is the clearest most pure substance one can find to quench the thirst? "The fourth phase of water".What I find in this book is an answer to some newly arising questions in the field of hydrolysis. Some engineers and experimentations are using a new form of hydrolysis to break water down into Hydrogen and Oxygen for use as a fuel. This method promises and delivers a method for breaking down the bond that holds water together for far less energy than is gained by re-using the gases as a fuel. Without knowing it; this book explains the structure of water that makes that possible.For some time amateur experimentalists (yes, guys today much like Tesla and Edison and other inventors of yesteryear) have been working on improving the concept of HHO fuel, the conversion of water into fuel. The first of these, a Joe cell, uses resonant energy found in pulsed DC, to cause a physical cavitation of the circular electrodes to assist in breaking down the bonds between H2O into HHO. This improved the water production, but did not lead to over unity production of energy. Meaning it was less than or equal to 100% efficiency. However, recent discoveries in plasma physics, along with the use of resonant cavitation has produced very strong conditions in water forcing it into this 4th phase with high voltage pulsed DC into two directions, not strictly AC; but very close. By getting the plasma, the cavity, and the water resonating at the bonding frequency, water literally separates into H and OH, a feat that is a principle condition described in this book. The induced voltage primes the water, and supports the existence of the plasma cavity, the production of H+OH feeds the plasma and constrains it. Excess H+ and as part of the process H + O is released in excess of the energy required to produce it. Replete with conspiracy stories, many of these early pioneers have met with suspicious and untimely deaths. The plans today are now open source, and can no longer be contained by any entity, and thus has existed the conspiracy realm.Pollack goes into great depth in this book to describe the wonderful nature of this fourth phase of water, only hinting at what might be possible, this books purpose is purely from an atomic and scientific perspective and leaves conjectures and theories of being an alternative energy source to those better suited to address the new findings. One thing is certain, this is the pure, high energy, good for the body water this is now being sold by companies with a stranglehold on the prices of such 'filtration' devices. Learn for yourself how this wonderful fundamental facet of nature has gone undiscovered for so long, and how this new re-discovery of the fourth phase of water came about. Much of the book is written at a high school and lower chemistry level, with later chapters giving in depth information at a high level of education.If you want a book that is straightforward science free of the alternative energy psyco-babble like I included in my review, this is exactly the book you want; take the journey from discovery to explanation from words right from the discoverer's mouth. Let your imagination wander and wonder, and the possibilities will emerge all on their own.

Though challenging to a non-science-trained reader like me, this book is some of the most exciting science-based reading I've ever done. I'd class myself as an inquiring layperson, with a degree in the humanities and no more science than a couple of get-out-of-jail-free high school physics courses long, long ago. I had to take this material in just a few pages at a time in order to absorb unfamiliar terms and concepts, and it was work! But chapter after chapter, I found myself marveling at the sheer newness of what Pollack is revealing, and at its potential in fields like energy, water resources, and even health. (Pollack refrains from speculating on these, saying that he plans future books, but the implications are there.) And I'm looking at the steam from my coffee cup in a whole new light!But beyond all that was my sense of incredulity at how something so fundamental--WATER!--can have been so overlooked by science. In that respect, this fascinating book gives people like me "permission" to question other dogmatic science pronouncements and beliefs. If water has been as profoundly misunderstood as Pollack's findings suggest, what else has been?A note on the Kindle edition: this book is filled with amusing and informative illustrations. Happily, all of them have been formatted in such a way that they are clear and large when viewed on my Android tablet Kindle app.

It was an Amazon lark that led me to Dr. Pollack's amazing book: First, Nick Cook's "The Hunt For Zero Point", in which the German hydrologist Viktor Schauberger's story is told; then Callum Coats's nice translation Schauberger's work, "The Water Wizard". Schauberger, a genius forester/hydrologist had observed things like boulders "floating" or drifting as if made of wood in rapids — as if magnetically charged. Central to his work was an understanding that water varied in quality from the "dead" to the energetic. I just had an appetite for more of this type of reading, but it seemed that treatments of Schauberger were redundant. Then, Amazon recommended Pollack's "The Fourth Phase of Water".It's not hyperbole — really not — that Pollack deserves a Nobel Prize, but this work puts him in contention for the Peace Prize as well as a prize in chemistry. His generosity as a writer and story teller — really, in an effort to describe his research in the best possible, accessible terms so that it is clearly understood — are in themselves remarkable. Surely, as a respected academic cell biologist, he could have stuck to the typical publication process. But the implications of the Fourth Phase (a negatively charged H3O2 lattice structure that forms out of H2O on hydrophilic surfaces) are enormous for health, energy, agriculture, and more: possible (proven) new methods of water filtration, ways to optimize water energetically for plant and animal health, even solar/infrared driven batteries.Get this book, and plan some time around it — and spread the word to people who work with water: biologists, hydrologists...

It's a textbook. So it's nerdy and dense. But as far as textbooks go, this is phenomenally written. Pollack did an amazing job at writing for the everyday reader. Big text, lots of pictures, and slow pacing. There are so many foundational discoveries about water that he unveils in this book that it's hard to know where to start. Fundamentally, you'll see water in a whole new light after this. And life too. Highly worth the read for a motivated learner. It's to easy but he makes sure to repeat the core principles over and again so that you don't get lost.

I've now been gifting this out. Change your life, wow! NOT a guru interpretation of science, this is the actual MIT research scientist.
