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.

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.

Dr. Pollack is a rogue scientist who thinks outside the box. Scientific theory can be flawed for a long time, so challenging how we think, and reexamining old assumptions requires leadership and creativity. He explains how the typical scientist conforms to consensus, preferring to make safe career choices. Safety is most often put above risk taking, so very few scientists examine topics that have formerly drawn criticism. Water is thought to be so well understood that serious study is shunned or simply overlooked. I applaud his open-minded curiosity and ingenuity. We must have more people with the courage to undertake thought provoking experiments. Dr. Pollack is demonstrating how new breakthroughs are discovered. This book is a must read for people interested in water science. This book is about something that seems ordinary, but he shows proof that we are clueless about the hidden nature of water. The fountain of youth is undoubtedly filled with EZ water, and that knowledge is life changing.

Thoroughly readable, despite the rather involved subject matter.Well illustrated both with micrographs as well as cartoon diagrams.Personal details offered early-on involve the reader and secure our buy-in to at least make the trip with him, suspending credulity as needed and rewarded in later chapters where he completes what is laid out just as discovered early on. He kindly explains the necessary technical jargon, and his editors have artfully balanced white space and clear type print.His somewhat reluctantly embraced term "exclusion zone" makes plain just how the glycocalyx functions in human vasomotion, and makes quite tenable the non-mainstream view that blood moves on its own rather than relying on the heart to pump, a biggie for me that led to my acquiring the book in the first place.

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