Vangard Note...
We first heard about Sonic Bloom at a Global Sciences
Conference in Denver several years ago as well as through the
excellent eco-paper, ACRES. USA.
A loose description of what it is and how it came to be...a
farmer noticed that plants grew best in the morning especially
when dew formed on the plants. Also coincident with high
growth rates was the chirping of various birds as the sun rose.
The farmer got the idea that the birdsong might have something
to do with the growth rate, so recorded various bird song
patterns and played them back to plants in a controlled
environment. The results were so remarkable that other
frequencies were tried which led to ranges of sound which
greatly assisted the growth of plants. The addition of
fertilizer rich moisture during this time further accelerated
the growth rates.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
o.k. Recently, however there have been some new happenings in the
field of Sonic Bloom technology.
One is that the video we produced called : GROW WITH SOUND AND
SPRAY has been lengthened with the addition of a 45 minute
slide lecture by Dan Carlson added on to the 29 minute intro.
That is necessary because the Sonic Bloom technology is so
unusual and different that no one who has not actually seen
the results is likely to believe it. The new video is now
available and sells or rents with a $25 deposit which includes
$3.00 for Priority mail (2 day delivery).
If you keep it, it's yours. If you send it back we deduct the
postage plus any donation you tell us to keep.
Dan Carlson clearly says that using this system it is possible
to bring nut trees from seedlings to bearing trees in 2 - 3
years and he has already produced the first successful nut
harvest in Wisconsin where nuts do not usually grow.
Page 1
If we can produce nuts so quickly, the system could be the
best thing to reforest large sections of the planet with
rapidly growing trees that take a lot of carbon dioxide from
the atmosphere and provide excellent food, easy to store and
ship for millions of people.
Therefore we are asking people to do an experiment to prove
that the system works.
Our suggestion is that a camcorder be used to video planting
the nut trees together with a newborn baby. Each week or two
there would be another minute or 2 of the trees and the baby
so that the finished video would show the baby and the trees
progressing together.
When the baby is a 2 - 3 year old toddler, he'd be taking nuts
from the tree. That would work in any language and prove that
we can produce nuts that fast. The experiment will take 2 -3
years and requires the child and trees to be together the full
time.
By the end of that time, there should be enough interest in
the system that a major reforestation project could commence.
For more information people should borrow or buy a copy of the
video as words alone cannot explain such a new system of
agriculture. They can get it from:
Aquarian Research

Philadelphia. PA 19144-1330
and can get info. by phone day or evening from 215-849-3237.
P.S. Along with the video they can ask for a sample newsletter.

Strengthening Concrete with Blood
Innobat, a small company in Aiguillon, France has developed a
process for strengthening concrete through the addition of dried
animal blood.
Beef blood is bought from local slaughterhouses, dried to a powder
and blended with two varieties of cellulose cementing agents.
The blood protein molecules react to form crystalline shells when
mixed with water.
These crystalline shells coat the bubbles suspended in the concrete
to make it not only lighter but up to 40 per cent stronger than
other concretes.

Resonance and Organic Farming
basic information taken from
Resonance by Richard Heinberg
published in 1977 by Phylron Publishing Co.
Ontario, Canada
A novel technique for insect control based on Resonance techniques
was reported in the October, 1976 issue of Organic Gardening and
Farming.
Frank Batey, a peanut and soybean farmer from Archer, Florida
normally spent hundreds of dollars yearly for the purchase of toxic
insecticides. These were used to control the semi-tropical insects
which would otherwise ravage his crops.
A local pest control specialist suggested he take one or two cups of
the insect to be controlled, place them in a blender with some
water and blend into a thin slurry.
The resulting fluid was to then be strained, diluted and sprayed on
the crops.
Batey claims the method was so successful that after a two year
period, he no longer has to use the bug juice spray although the
fields still crawl with bugs. The bugs now do little damage.
Former U.S.D.A. entomologist, Francis R. Lawson, originated the
technique.
The advantages over chemical treatments are obvious and dramatic.
Not only is bug juice spray cheaper, it is also selective (affecting
only the bugs contained in the spray), non-toxic and does little to
affect the natural balance of plants/insects/insect predators in the
treated area.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This technique offers much room for experimentation especially when
considered in comparison with Homeopathic and Radionic principles.
The tendency of the insects to continue to infest the crops yet do
little damage is an interesting aspect. Also the gradual lessening
of the need to apply the bug-juice spray over the years as if some
form of local pattern is placed into the soil and/or minerals.
UKACO did similar work using a radionics process in the early 50's.
Page 1
Aerial photos were taken of the crops to be treated which were then
developed and placed in the UKACO transmitter. These transmitters
were leased to the farmers.
They were instructed to spin the dial only once per day to make sure
that the radionic pattern (of a proper insecticide) was broadcast
into the photo and radionically to the area to be treated.
They were so good at it that the farmers were asked to pay $1 per
acre ONLY IF THE TREATMENT WORKED.
Ancient Chinese doctors skilled in the practice of Acupuncture were
paid ONLY as long as their patients REMAINED WELL. If for any
reason the patient got sick, the doctor would be required to heal
the sickness AND PAY THE PATIENT UNTIL THE PATIENT WAS AGAIN WELL.
What an HONORABLE SYSTEM...could that we not become civilized
sufficiently to follow the principles of PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY and
not require a law to dictate or establish a control for every action
no matter how spurious.

The following account appeared on page 52 of the Nov. 1954 issue
of FATE magazine. The article was titled 'GATE TO THE UNKNOWN':
"In March, 1954, a French Jesuit priest in Sorata, Bolivia,
told a strange story of an exploring trip he had made in the cavern
of San Pedro on 20,000 foot Mount Illampu of the Andes chain.
"The cavern must be entered on all fours through a narrow
passage which widens after a few yards and leads into an immense
cavern filled with stalagmites and stalactites. At one end of the
cavern is a subterranean lake.
"The French priest claimed to be the first person to cross to
the far end of the lake. After several hours of rowing a small boat
by artificial light, he related, the cave narrowed and gave way to a
trail barred by an enormous gate of wrought iron. The grille, he
said, bore all the characteristics of 17th century Spanish ironwork.
"The priest tried unsuccessfully to break through the barrier.
He was eager to see what lay beyond but he had to return to Sorata
without solving the mystery."
The question one might ask in this case is: Did the old Spanish
explorers go through all the trouble to forge the gate in order to
keep someone out, or did they do it to keep some 'thing' in...?

In the Fall, 1980 issue of 'SEARCH' magazine (p. 7) the following
strange incident was reported:
"A MILE OF LIGHTS -- Four teenagers, quite 'shook up', drove up
to Deputy Sheriff Trotta in Putnam County, New York State, about
1:30 a.m. one morning, and said they had seen an 'eerie sight' at an
abandoned iron ore mine in nearby Brewster.
"Trotta thought their explanation did, indeed, sound rather
'eerie', so he got another police officer to accompany him.
"They went to the mine shaft which was on a dirt road, off from
another road, known as 'Lover's Lane'.
"Going into the mine, they found two 'long rows of lighted
candles as far as the eye could see'. The two officers followed
them for about a mile. Then the trail of light suddenly came to an
end, and that was that."

Some of the early Indian inhabitants of Connecticut held a legend of
a large subterranean chamber which was supposed to lie deep below
the surface of their tribal lands. Within this large chamber, the
legend states, a powerful demon or evil one sat upon a throne.
Perhaps such legends were built around actual phenomena such as was
described by Horace C. Hovey in his book 'CELEBRATED AMERICAN
CAVERNS' (Robert Clarke & Co., Cincinnati., 1896). On pp. 199-200
of this volume, under the sub-heading 'THE MOODUS NOISES', Hovey
states:
"Certain inexplicable sounds have mystified the inhabitants of
a portion of the Connecticut valley for more than a century. From
the fact that they were first heard at Moodus, a quite little hamlet
beside a trout stream, they have been called the Moodus Noises. In
1729 these detonations were so remarkable as to have caused
consternation. A clergyman of the day writes:
'Whether they be any thing diabolical in these things I know not,
but this I know, that God Almighty is to be seen and trembled at.'
'I myself,' he adds, 'heard 8 or 10 sounds successively, and
imitating small arms, in the space of 5 minutes. I have, I suppose,
heard several hundred of them within 20 years, still more, some less
terrible. Oftentimes I have heard them to be coming down from the
north, imitating slow thunder, which shakes the houses and all that
is in them.'
"These strange sounds have been recently heard, as late as
1881, at Salem, Conn., New London and elsewhere, and have caused
renewed interest in the subject. Their starting point seems to be
Mount Tom, and in March, 1881, it is affirmed that the faint
rumbling sound rising to a rattling peal was heard for several hours
and by many people. The reason for referring to them here is that,
in the opinion of some persons the Moodus Noises are due to
explosions of gases in subterranean cavities, and indicate the
existence of a large vacuity underneath Southern New England, which
would not be suspected by a survey of the granite hills and smiling
prosperity of the region thus threatened."

The following article, written by Alex Sanders and titled 'HAUNTED
CAVES', appeared in the Oct. 1961 issue of SEARCH Magazine:
"Why (this question has been put to Shaver many times) have not
our extensive mines of coal, silver, iron, gold, etc. broken into
your alleged 'caverns'? Shaver has answered (as he does in SHAVER
MYSTERY MAGAZINE number 2 - page 27) that 'The caves are deeper than
miners penetrate - and they are led away when they get too near.
Mines are too dangerous - many mines are "haunted", no one will work
in them.'
"This brings to mind a CORONET Magazine article - 'THE PHANTOM
OF BUCK HILL CAVES' from the June, 1951 issue.
"J. P. Folinsbee, the author, tells about Virginia's Buck Hill
Caverns, 'a vast underground kingdom that, once discovered, has
never been fully explored.' Unlike the NEARBY world-famous Natural
Page 2
Bridge which annually attracts some 500,000 tourists, the place was
never opened to the public.
"Unknown is the founder of the entrance, but back in 1889 a
schoolboy named Jake Fitzgeralds did limited exploration around the
surface opening, alone or with friends.
"Then, in October (here I am not sure if it was October of
1889, or years later when Jake was an adult) a Col. Henry Parsons
who had heard tales of the strange beauty underground, talked Jake
into entering the cave, for a dollar a day, to tell what he found.
"A few days later, armed with oil lanterns, candles, ropes,
chisels, Jake disappeared inside with his brother, Joe, as a small
crowd watched curiously.
"Hours later the two muddy figures returned, to whet the
appetite of Col. Parsons with their spine-tingling description of a
miles-long, extravagantly beautiful cavern.
"The following week, an eight-man crew began the task of
opening Buck Hill Caverns.
"Discounting millions of bats, it was enormously impressive
inside, what with vast chambers, a frozen, majestically-hanging
waterfall, a crystal lake, weird stone formations, huge stalagmites
and stalactites to take one's breath away.
"Months passed, then one full year, of steady work.
"Probing with a pick, Jake broke through a wall of flowstone.
Enlarging the hole, his lantern shining within revealed a seemingly
endless pit.
"Quickly a rope lowered him down. Pulled back over the edge an
hour later, the white-faced Jake excitedly described the unearthly
magnificence of waterfalls, pools, lakes, vast chambers, even
[stone] cave flowers.
"The unparalleled sights were verified the next day by the awed
workers. Still, the place was never open to the public. Because -
one day the crew stopped their downward digging abruptly, for no
reason at all, remaining oddly silent. For there came 'a sobbing
cry, uncannily like the wracking voice of a woman, floating eerily
up from the chasm. It stopped. Then it came again, in a long,
moaning sigh that rose like a sob of pain.'
"What was it? A woman crying (perhaps a prisoner in some deep
underground dungeon? - Branton) as she lay down there? A HAUNT
warning the men to depart (as one 'suggested' half-hysterically)?
"They left - fast! - and as they ran silently, a second sobbing
wail echoed behind them.
"The men refused to return after that, though Jake tried for
weeks to get them back to work. Others refused as well once the
story of the Phantom of the Caves spread through the superstitious
mountain country. Buck Hill Cavern, a possible million dollar
wonderland, was necessarily abandoned.
"When the CORONET article was written in 1951, white-haired
Jake Fitzgeralds was still alive, the only man living who had heard
the phantom voice. He resided then in an ancient long house at
Bell's Cove, a few miles from Buck Hill.
"What was the strange nose heard far below the earths crust by
a team of workers over seventy years ago? Was it a freak waterfall
sucking air in some hole? This Jake offered as an explanation.
"Or - deros at work, as Richard Shaver might say, to keep the
curious away?"

Several years ago, a woman by the name of Christine Hayes described
Page 3
an incident related to her by a man who had explored a cavern in a
remote mountain in South America. Deep in the cave he came upon an
extensive underground 'lake' and had no sooner done so than a
strange creature like the serpent of Loch Ness itself, raised its
long neck out of the water and let out a cave-shuddering roar. The
sea 'dragon' went back beneath the waves and the explorer left the
cave in a hurry. Some time afterwards he again made a trip to the
same mountain and cavern, only to discover that a 'cave-in' had
completely sealed the entrance to the underground lake.

Vance Randolph, author of several books dealing with Ozark
'Folk' stories, related an incident, allegedly a real event, which
took place in a mountainous region in northern Arkansas. Curious
explorers who were attempting to plumb the depths of a particular
'crevice' has allegedly lowered a heavy rock, tied to the end of a
long rope, about 200 feet down into the pit. They felt a sudden
jerk and lifted the rope up only to find that it had been cut clean.
The rumor was that a giant snake had its lair deep under the
crevice.

'Commander X', in his book 'UNDERGROUND ALIEN BASES' (Abelard Press.
New York) described one incident which was originally related in one
of the 'SHAVER MYSTERY' publications which were prominent during the
1950's.
The incident was reported by a 'Professor W. Wiers' of Mexico,
who stated that he knew of a 'Professor Schwartz' who had made a
long study of cavern anomalies, starting when he was only 15 years
old in Germany. According to Professor Weirs, just before the
beginning of the Second World War, both the axis and allied powers
were interested in using various caves as supply bases for numerous
military applications. At this time, it is said, the Nazi's were
secretly exploring caverns and old mines in the Southwestern United
States, the Himalayas, South America, the Polar regions and
elsewhere.
Professor Schwartz related that he knew of a Nazi who had come
upon an 'enormous circular pit' whose sides dropped straight down
for a good 1,200 feet. Trees could be seen growing tall and
straight below. Eagles soared around, and then dived to the bottom
of the chasm, apparently eating something. Since the sides were
dangerously steep the Nazi had to content himself with using
binoculars instead of descending into the underground realm himself.
Returning later with others (fellow German soldiers?) he
eventually discovered a similar but much narrower shaft, not far
from the first, which was so big that it could not be hidden in any
way to those in the general vicinity. Not having a cable nor
apparatus with which to let down a man into the seemingly bottomless
shaft, they let down a pencil attached to a thin rope or cord. To
their surprise, the cord, when drawn back up was found to be cut
clean, as with a knife, or scissors--and the pencil was gone. Of
course they all resolved to come back and study this pit further,
but the war prevented their doing so.
The location of the shaft is supposedly in Northern Guatemala.
Near the place is a witch doctor, friendly to Professor Schwartz,
who assured the Professor that there is a secret passage, closed by
Page 4
a revolving rock door, which goes to an enormous hidden chamber
which is still below the vast roof cave-in seen from above.
Some years ago researcher Penny Harper visited eastern
Guatemala and learned of a strange cavern called 'Silpino' cave
which had a legendary history. This caverns entrance was right next
to a major road. It is uncertain whether this road was the one
running from Zacapa to Puerto Barrios or another similar road.
However, this cavern was said to be an ancient MAYAN cave. Explorers
have claimed that ancient Mayan artifacts and carvings can be seen
deep within the cave, and at one point the electrical cells in some
of the explorers' flashlights were mysteriously drained. One man
claimed he traveled for MANY days through the passage and came out
at the bottom of the central shaft of an extinct volcano. He could
see a pinpoint of light entering through the upper cone high above,
and an underground stream with strange subterranean fish meandered
through the cavernous maze. Another man entered the cave and
returned about a month later, his body swollen from weeks of
wandering in the damp underground tunnels. These accounts at least
suggest that the ancient Mayans had a definite interest in the
'subterranean' world.

"Recently in Mexico in some caverns the U.S. Army found six

"They know not who they belong to, or what they are made of.

compressed air or by some such method. I hope this will add to your

Clay Perry, and veteran speleologist who may be the leading
authority on New England caverns and subterranea, made the following
comments on pp. 199-201 of his book 'UNDERGROUND EMPIRE: WONDERS AND
TALES OF NEW YORK CAVES' (Ira J. Friedman, Inc., Port Washington,
Long Island, N.Y.):
"...Out of the clear skies of Utah, in June, 1947 came a
strange inquiry about reputed caverns near Syracuse, N.Y. Miss Opal
Kemp of 220 Canyon Road, Salt Lake City, made the inquiry, first to
the Syracuse Chamber of Commerce, then to the Secretary of the State
of Albany, and finally to me, through the circulation of one of her
letters to officials of the State Museum and the State Department of
Conservation, who had the idea that a spelunker from Pittsfield,
Massachusetts, would know about it if anyone did.
"Miss Kemp had written that 'a group of us are planning to
visit the east this summer and wish to explore caverns known as THE
EAST CAVES OF SYRACUSE. These caves are said to be the western
entrance to the subterranean passage which extended under the
Atlantic Ocean to the British Isles. Part of the cavern system has
Page 5
collapsed--one as recently has 1928--so that it is now impossible to
travel in them. However, the entrances remain intact.'
"It took but a few minutes of research in the geology
department of the State Museum to discover that there actually are
some caves east of Syracuse, and that they are curious ones, indeed,
and deep and some of them quite long, for in THE GEOLOGY OF THE
SYRACUSE QUADRANGLE by Thomas Cramer Hopkins, published as NEW YORK
STATE MUSEUM BULLETIN 171m in 1914, there was found not only an
elaborate study of the 'EAST CAVES OF SYRACUSE,' but photographs
taken, exteriorly, of some of the odd crevices, with people perched
in them.
"These crevices are in Onondaga limestone, which is the hardest
kind found in New York State and which spreads clear across the
Syracuse quadrangle, in some areas forming large, level floors of
rock swept free of residual matter by glaciers and the wash of
water, and with deep clefts in the rock.
"One of the areas lies along the top of a cliff that borders
what is known as the Clark Reservation, a state park, about three
miles southeast of Syracuse. As Professor Hopkins describes them,
"'..At the Syracuse caves, three miles southeast of the city,
some of these fissure caverns have been explored to a depth of more
than a hundred feet and some hundreds of feet in length. Where the
fissuring has been intensified it produces the well-known KARSTEN
topography.
"'In a few places there has been a little deposition of calcite
on the walls of the fissures, but in general the deposition is very
slight in comparison with the solution since most of the material
dissolved has been carried away into the streams or deposited in the
deeper portions of the underlying rocks.
"'Some of the fissures are open enough at the top to permit
large quantities of snow to enter them during the winter months, and
remain in the form of snow and ice during the greater part of the
summer, forming what is known locally as the 'ice caves.' These
occur in cliffs around Blue Lake and at Split Rock quarries.'
"This officially confirms Miss Kemp's long-distance tip on
caves which, until June, 1947, had completely escaped the attention
of present-day geologists, speleologists, and spelunkers as well as
the usually alert boosters of the Syracuse Chamber of Commerce,
which brings us to the inland and western entrance to that
prodigious reputed trans-ocean subway from the United States to the
British Isles! But where, oh where is the other end."
At this point in his book Mr. Perry referred to a cavern in
France which was at the time of that writing measured to a depth of
over 2,193 feet. The cave is known as the 'Great Hole of Preta',
near Verona. However, since that time far deeper caves have
'officially' been explored and documented. In THE GUINNESS BOOK OF
WORLD RECORDS, we find that the cave system known as the 'Reseau du
Foillis' had been explored in France to a depth exceeding 4600 feet.
New 'depth' records are 'officially' being broken every day,
however. Perry continues: "...But America may find that it holds
the record for the longest cave in the world beneath its land, if
these 'East Caves of Syracuse' do now or ever did extend from cliffs
of the Syracuse area across under the ocean to the British Isles,
for it is some two hundred miles from Syracuse to the Atlantic
Coast.
"It develops that the Geology Department of Syracuse University
made some study of the caves, and that parties of students, with an
instructor, used to explore the deep cliffs, using ropes, and
actually have gone down as deep as 100 feet in them. Among those
Page 6
who have explored the caves (was) Professor Louis W. Ploger of the
Geology Department, who was a student during the time such field
trips were being made..."

Helen C. Gordon, in a letter which appeared in the 'SHAVER MYSTERY
MAGAZINE', Vol. 1, No. 2, 1947, pp. 3234., described a strange
experience she and her husband had with a massive subterranean
cavern below southern New Mexico.
While driving near the Organ mountains southeast of Las Cruces,
the two had spotted what seemed to be mine tailings high upon the
forbidden-looking slopes. Being a bit curious and adventurous, they
decided to spend some time and walk up the mountains and see if
there were any mines as they suspected from the tailing piles. They
finally reached the entrance to what they knew to be a mine, perhaps
excavated sometime in the 1800's, and proceeded to explore it's
interior. They made their way back into the dark interior, feeling
their way along. They continued farther still until the entrance
was a mere pinpoint of light, and suddenly they noticed that the
right wall had disappeared into empty blackness. A natural or
artificial 'wall' or partition blocked off most of the 'empty area',
which spanned a considerable distance along the side of the
horizontal mine. Just behind the 'wall' a narrow ledge ran along
the top of what seemed to be a chasm.
The chasm was deeper than their lights could reach and appeared
to be more of a natural result of some ancient geological activity
rather than artificial. They looked around for some wood and
combustible material and constructed a torch, which they then
dropped down the pit. They watched fearfully and in awe as the
torch light became smaller and smaller until it disappeared from
view altogether.
After questioning some of the old timers in the area they
learned that such chasms were encountered on rare occasions by
miners, who referred to them as 'glory holes'. A glory hole is a
natural shaft of such depth and expanse that it's bottom is
difficult to plumb. The old miners apparently broke through to this
'glory hole' and left the partition of the rock there for safety
purposes.

Vangard Note..
This interesting file might lead to a understanding of what is
being called "the Taos Hum". If underground caverns are being
opened up, whether naturally or artificially, and wind whips
through these caverns, very low frequency sounds (difficult to
detect without special equipment) with an omnipresent pattern
might be created. The 60 minute special on this pointed to a
giant mineshaft ventilation fan as a possible culprit but the
actual sound is still not resolved.

Our recycle "think Green" department put out the following list of
air cleaning plants:
Aloe or Aloe Vera, Bamboo or Reed Palm, Spider Plant, Dragon Tree,
Devil's Ivy, English Ivy, Banana Tree, Peace Lily, Bowstring Hemp,
African Gerbera, Heart-leaf Philodendron, Janet Craig and Warnecheii
Bracaena. These plants are supposed to help reduce formaldehyde,
benzene and trichloroethylene.
Article 5515 (109 more) in rec.gardens:
From: Kelly F.
Subject: Plants that Clean the Air Article
Summary: Results of NASA study and list of plants used
Date: 29 Feb 92 18:04:04 GMT
Most of the following article is from the July-August issue of
California Garden Magazine, "House Plants Do Clean Air" by Barbara
S. Jones. The original paper reference is "Interior Landscape
Plants For Indoor Air Pollution Abatement" Final Report, Sept. 15,
1989. NASA, J.C. Stennis Space center, MS.
For the past 16 years, scientists have been exploring the problem of
"sick building syndrome." People experienced skin, eye and
respiratory discomfort in tightly enclosed mobile homes and sealed
air-conditioned buildings. It was originally thought to be caused by
microorganisms, but has been proved to be caused by irritating gases
given off by the material used for and in the buildings. The major
volitile gases found were benzene, trichlorethylene and
formaldehyde.
Page 1
The major items which give off these gases are:
BENZENE: ink, paint, plastics, rubber, detergents, pharmaceuticals,
dyes, etc, (Irritates the skin and eyes, can cause
headaches, nausea, etc., and can lead to chromosomal
aberrations and leukemia in humans.)
TRICHLORRETHYLENE (TCE): dry cleaning, printing inks, paints,
lacquers, varnishes, adhesives. (Liver carcinogen.)
FORMALDEHYDE: all indoor environments. WIdely used in UFFI foam
insulation, particle board and pressed wood products. Used
in grocery bags, waxed paper, facial tissues, paper towels,
fabric stiffeners, wrinkle resisters, water repellents,
fire retardants, adhesive binders, permanent-press clothes.
Produced by cigarette smoke, and heating and cooking fuels.
(Irritates the mucous membranes of eyes, nose, throat and
causes headaches.)
Sixteen common house plants which are inexpensive, easy to grow,
easily obtained and need low light levels were used for the NASA-
ALCA experiments. (Not all of the plants were used for every
experiment.) It is proven that plants remove carbon dioxide from the
air and release oxygen in the process. These tests were conducted
to see if common volitile gases could be removed from the air during
this process.
The plants were tested in sealed plexiglass containers with
controlled environments using accurate measurement devices. Sterile
soil was tested, then plants growing in soil, then plants with the
leaves removed. It was found that more volitile chemicals were
removed from the air when the plants were in pots where maximum soil
surface was exposed. (When lower leaves that touched the soil were
removed, more chemicals were removed.) Evidence indicated that the
SOIL MICROORGANISMS growing with the plants were very effective in
utilizing the chemicals.
The implication of the report was that the root-soil zone appeared
to be the most effective area for removal of volitile organic
chemicals from the air. All of the plants tested did remove some of
the chemicals as well as carbon dioxide from the air.
The plants tested were:
_Chamaedorea selfritzii_ (bamboo palm);
_Aglaonema modestum_ (Chinese evergreen);
_Hedera helix_ (English ivy);
_Fiscus benjamina_ ;
_Gerbera jamesonii_;
_Chrysanthemum moriflium_ (Florists' Mum);
_Sansevieria laurentii_ (Snake Plant);
_Spathiphyllum_ "Mauan" (Peace Lily);
_D.marginata, D. massangeana_ (Corn Cane);
_Philodendron oxycardium_ (heart leaf);
_P. domesticum_ (elephant's ear);
_P. selloum_ (lace tree);
_Chlorophytum elatum_ (spider plant);
_Musa oriana_ (banana);
_Scindapsus aureus_ (Golden pathos);
and _Aloe vera_
Page 2
In these experiments the most effective plants for the removal of
formaldehyde were the banana, snake plant, english ivy, bamboo palm
and the heart leafed philodendron.
The most effective plants in removing Benzene were Gerbera daisy,
pot mum, english ivy, and snake plant.
The most effective plants in removing TCE were the gerbera daisy and
english ivy.
Remember, not all 16 were tested on all chemicals and there may be
many other plants not tested that are equally, if not more,
effective in removing volitle chemicals from the air. The
experiments are just the beginning and many more need to be done
before the 'world's best air cleaner" plant can be identified.
Today its very stylish to have house plants. Slick publications show
home interiors loaded with plants, jewelry and fashions are shown
with plants, celebrities sit with plants. Many of these plants are
artificial. Homes and businesses are loaded with artificial plants.
Unfortunately, most of the artficial plants increase "sick building
syndrome" problems. Not only do the plants give off volatile
chemicals, but they collect germ-carrying dust. Enclosed
environments would be healthier and smell better if artificial
plants were eliminated.
Ed. note: It has been estimated that it takes one growing houseplant
for every 100 square feet to clean the air of an average
home.
My notes (Kelly): I think the important points of this article are:
The plants are not doing the majority of 'air cleaning' its the
microbes! A healthy soil and large soil surface for air exchange is
something to keep in mind when using plants for this particular
purpose. I've also seen living plants in nurseries carrying 'we
clean the air' tags which is obviously a rip off of the study and
just another way to get you to buy their product. Buy what will grow
for YOU and what you enjoy looking at every day...Finally, its just
ONE study about this subject, its not the bible so take it all witha
few grains of salt...:)

OK head scratchers..scratch awhile over this....
The Story as I got it...I offer no proof that this is true or false,
just passing it on.
During the late sixties out in the New Mexico Desert, Steve Baer
(Domeworks) and another fellow named Day Chahroudi were working on
all manner of weird solar stuff.
Day had the wild idea that if concentrated sunlight could produce
lots of heat, then concentrated shade or some such arrangement would
produce the opposite effect...cold.
The .GIF file (COLDGEN.GIF) shows a picture of this device.
More info:
I have also heard that this picture is of an early tracker design
for solar panels. This may be true BUT if it is true, then where is
the usual collector?
The only surfaces visible in this picture are NOT black or do they
in any way look like potential solar collectors. Quite to the
contrary, they look more like REFLECTIVE surfaces! Except for the
small panel in the center, which is SHADED..
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Vangard Note...A coincidence that Lee uploaded this file about one
week after one of our friends was pondering why
THERMOELECTRIC CELLS would generate a "field of cold"
rather than a "field of heat" just by reversing the
direct current polarities. He suggested that this
might tap into the mysterious "cold current" or
"negative electricity" of the Sweet VTA. We are
working on a test of this possibility.

Combined, Environmental Risks Deadly, Researchers Learn
Acidic water and ultraviolet light in combination damage the embryos of frogs
far more seriously when acting together than when acting separately, according
to a laboratory study at the University of California, Santa Cruz. This
finding has major implications for understanding environmental threats to many
species.
Researchers exposed the eggs of a common species of frog to various levels of
acidity and UV-B radiation, the most harmful form of ultraviolet light. By
themselves, even the most acidic water or the most severe UV-B radiation did
not kill many embryos. But when the two environmental assaults were combined,
as many as half of the eggs failed to hatch.
Ecologists should look for similar interactions in nature as they try to
explain why many populations of amphibians around the world are dying out, the
study's authors say. Stresses such as habitat loss, a thinning ozone layer,
acid rain, pesticides, disease, and global climate change may combine to wreak
more havoc on frogs, toads and salamanders than any one factor could by
itself. Indeed, some scientists now suspect that for any given group of
amphibians in trouble, two or more such factors may interact synergistically -
that is, the combined effects of the stresses are far greater than the sum of
their individual effects.
"People have been looking for a smoking gun to explain the amphibian die-offs,
and there isn't just one smoking gun," says Michael Soule, coauthor of the
study and professor emeritus of environmental studies at UCSC. "There's quite
an armamentarium out there. We're just beginning to look at the interactions
among these possible causes."
The UCSC group published its work in the October 1995 issue of the scientific
journal Conservation Biology. First author was biologist Leslie Long, who
completed the study for her master's thesis in marine sciences. Coauthors were
former UCSC undergraduate Loralei Saylor, now at the Arizona Department of
Game & Fish, and Soule.
"We're not trying to say that a combination of UV radiation and low pH is the
answer for why a particular amphibian population is declining, or even that
this is happening now in the field," says Long. "The main message is that
synergisms can be important and are worth looking for. We may miss a lot if we
only look at each factor in isolation."
Another recent study supports Long's view. Ecologists Joseph Kiesecker and
Andrew Blaustein at Oregon State University found that a synergism between UV-
B radiation and a fungal disease can kill embryos of the Cascades frog and the
western toad. The combined effects of ultraviolet light and infection by the
fungus magnified the harm done to the eggs beyond the sum of the individual
effects of each factor. The work appeared in the November 21 issue of the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
In 1994, Blaustein's group also showed that UV-B light by itself can kill frog
and toad embryos in the field. "Both our new paper and the Long paper show
that we should look not just for single effects, but also for combinations,"
Blaustein says. "We don't think low pH is a factor in Oregon, but it may
interact with UV radiation in other parts of the country. UV is important
here, but it doesn't play a big role in the tropics. There will not be
a single global cause."
For their study, Long and her colleagues used three levels of acidic water (pH
readings of 6.0, 5.0, and 4.5) and three levels of ultraviolet light: no UV-B
(as a control), a "normal" level for high elevations, and a level forecast if
the ozone layer continues to thin. The team exposed several dozen eggs of the
leopard frog, Rana pipiens, to one of the nine possible combinations of
factors. About one-quarter of the embryos died under the conditions of lowest
pH and moderate UV, while half died when subjected to the lowest pH and the
highest UV. In all other treatments - including the lowest pH by itself and
the highest UV by itself - at least 90 percent of the eggs hatched.
Several caveats apply, the authors note. The highest level of UV-B radiation
simulated a future earth with an ozone layer 30 percent thinner than it was in
1979. The most acidic water had a pH of 4.5, a reading seen infrequently in
nature. Further, the study considered only the lab effects of those factors on
the eggs of one species. In the wild, each of the many species of amphibian
would react differently at each stage of life to these and other stresses.
Acid rain can send pH levels as low as between 4.6 and 5.4 in lakes in the
eastern U.S., Canada, and Europe, research has shown. Other workers have found
pH levels of 4.5 in northern California and 5.0 in the Rocky Mountains. In
addition, surges of acidified water may occur in mountainous areas when snow
melts in the spring. High-elevation frogs breed in that season - a time of
year when UV radiation is near its peak, the UCSC team notes.
Soule hopes to work with a molecular biologist to explore why the pH-UV double
whammy harms the eggs. The team observed that embryos died when their egg
membranes did not expand, a "curling defect" that trapped the growing tadpoles
inside in tight coils.

Originally printed in "Newsweek", June 17, 1974
--------------------------------------------------------------------
A Solution to Air Pollution
"In the wake of the energy-crisis a 50-year-old British-born
inventor named Eric Cottell has come up with an ingeniously simple
and economically practical solution -- one that is now exciting
industry and government officials alike.
"In the conventional combustion process, fuel is combined with air
and turned. The result is carbon dioxide, water vapor and heavy
oxides of nitrogen, which are a prime cause of chemical smog.
Cottell reasoned that if water could largely replace air as a source
of oxygen in combustion, this would avoid the large amounts of
nitrogen introduced by the air -- and thus eliminate much of the
noxious nitrogen oxides.
"To accomplish this, he turned to a device he had patented 22 years
ago -- an ultrasonic reactor that emulsifies heavy liquids and is
widely used today to prepare such products as Worcestershire sauce,
ketchup, cosmetics and paint.
By refining the reactor, Cottell was able to break water into
particles about one fifty-thousandth of an inch in diameter and to
Page 1
disperse them evenly in oil (or gasoline) to create an emulsion
that was 70 percent oil and 30 percent water. When this emulsion
was burned, Cottell found :
(1) that there were far fewer waste products and
(2) that the small water droplets expand on heating, then
explode into steam, in turn shattering the oil into even
finer particles, and thus increasing the surface area of
the fuel exposed for burning.
"Last month Cottell divided his time between Washington, in talks
with officials of the Federal Energy Office, and Detroit, where he
consulted with engineers working to meet the tight 1976 automobile-
emission requirements.
So far, auto tests have shown that with an ultrasonic reactor
attached to a carburetor, a car can get almost DOUBLE the normal
miles per gallon of gasolinge -- with neglible exhausts.
Cottell's company, Tymponic Corp. of Long Island, N.Y., is also
about to produce units for home oil burners that will be no larger
than a flashlight and cost $100 to $150.
"Last winter, two Long Island schools converted to Cottell's system,
and both reduced their fuel usage by about 25%. Adelphi University
reports that it SAVED more than 3,500 gallons of oil per week! --
and REDUCED soot output by 98 PERCENT."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Vangard Note...
This file points to a possibly useful technique for those
working with water dissociation for the purpose of hydrogen
fueled motors. The smaller the particle is, the less energy
required to dissociate into consecutively smaller units. This
is probably one of the inspirational sources used by Stan Meyers
for his "fractioning" process.
Ultrasonic generators can be both mechanical or electronic in
nature. Transducers can be easily purchased with resonant
frequencies ranging from 20KHZ to 40KHZ. Of course, that is
simply where they are most efficient, they will still transmit
other frequencies just as any speaker will.
One of the greatest dangers in relation to hydrogen from water
is the need to store accumulated hydrogen in some container,
thus allowing the possibility of a "Highway Hindenburg." Any
method of hybrid method that would create hydrogen at a
sufficiently rapid rate, on demand, is far to be preferred.

Supercritical Water:
.
Superweapon in the War On Toxic Wastes
by
Jim Wilson
.
Imagine a chemical so powerful it destroys every known waste, even nerve gas.
Now imagine this chemical is not only safe, but actually good for you to drink.
.
This seemingly magical elixir is no pipe dream. It not only exists, but exists
in vast quantities, within a few hundred feet of every chemical plant and toxic
waste site.
.
The superweapon in the war on toxic wastes is water, albeit in a very unusual
form. Everyone knows water can be a liquid, solid, or gas. Unless you've
studied chemistry you may be unaware water can exist in a fourth state, as what
scientists call a "supercritical" fluid.
.
Baron Charles Cagniard de la Tour, a French scientist, mixed the first batch of
supercritical water in 1821. He heated water in a pressure cooker made from a
sealed cannon barrel.
.
Today, Jurgen Steinle is conducting a similar experiment, using a steel
reaction vessel fit with an ocean-liner style port hole. As an added precaution
he has put his industrial-strength pressure cooker inside an explosion-proof
testing chamber, in the basement of his laboratory at Germany's University of
Karlsruhe.
.
Eyes glued to two oversize gages, Steinle watches as the temperature climbs to
705 degrees Fahrenheit and the pressure reaches 3,200 pounds per square inch.
It was at these extreme conditions Baron de la Tour noticed the water stopped
sloshing when he rocked the cannon. Too hot to remain a liquid, the pressure
was too high to allow it to become a gas. It had become a supercritical fluid.
.
In the decades that followed supercritical water was shown to exhibit several
remarkable properties. Oil and water won't mix, oil and supercritical water
will. Salts dissolve in liquid water; they settle out of solution in
supercritical water.
.
Steinle prepares to demonstrate an even more remarkable property. Supercritical
water can cause hydrogen and carbon containing substances to "burn," without
creating smoke or other wastes.
.
"The reaction vessel is filled with a mixture is 30 percent methane and 70
percent water," Steinle explains as he turns a valve connected to a green
capped cylinder containing commercial-grade oxygen. "Now watch closely."
.
A television set mounted along side the temperature and pressure gages shows
the view through the port hole. A metal cylinder, about the size of a hockey
puck, appears at the bottom of the screen. A narrow pipe, the oxygen line,
pokes through its center.
.
The valve opens. When the oxygen reaches the chamber, a jet of smokeless flame
erupts. The methane, which most of us know as the main ingredient in the
natural gas whose blue flame heats our morning coffee, burns for several
seconds, then slowly shrinks and disappears.
.
As demonstrations of high tech wonders go, it is tame stuff.
.
It is what happens next that raises eyebrows. After cooling, a water sample is
drawn from the reaction vessel and analyzed. Every molecule of methane has
vanished. In its place is ultra-pure water and carbon dioxide, the gas we
exhale as we breath.
.
Supercritical water's ability to perform this chemical reaction without
generating smoke or harmful residues has attracted the Pentagon's attention. It
may be the ideal way to dispose one of the Cold War's more dubious legacies,
some five million rounds of chemical weapons, including nerve gas. For the
present, the shells, some of which are badly corroded, are stored in military
warehouses. Conventional incineration leaves lethal residue.
.
To speed the development of supercritical water disposal technology the
Department of Defense and Department of Energy have funded more than a dozen
projects. Participants include General Atomics Corporation of San Diego,
California; Eco Waste Technologies of Austin, Texas; and Modell Development
Corporation of Framingham, Massachusets.
.
Executives for these companies are hopeful experience gained in disposing of
nerve gas and other high risk wastes such as old rocket fuel and PCBs will
speed the commercialization of supercritical water disposal technology.
.
If they are correct, and the technology matures as promised, wastewater
discharges from sewage plants and factories may someday be cleaner than
premium-label bottled water.

þþþþ Our Hidden Enemies þþþþ
þþþ By Paul Brodeur þþþ
Evidence is building that exposure to low level electromagnetic
radiation that is given off by power lines, electric blankets, video display
terminals (VDT's) and even some electric clocks can cause cancer, birth
defects, miscarriages, and other health problems. This information has been
suppressed or downplayed for years by the electric utility industry,
manufacturers and the media. Result: Millions of americans are still at risk.
þþþþ Electromagnetic Radiation þþþþ
þþþþ What It Is And Where It Comes From þþþþ
Electromagnetic radiation consists of electric fields produced by
voltages and magnetic fields produced by electrical currents. Although
electrical fields can be shielded by conducting materials, magnetic fields can
penetrate almost anything that stands in their way, including the human body.
Power lines give off extra low frequency (ELF) electric and
magnetic fields whose waves vibrate back and forth 60 times per second. The
magnetic fields can be particularly strong in houses that are close to high
voltage transmission lines and to the ordinary high current distribution lines
that can be found in almost every city, suburb and town in the US. In fact,
millions of americans may be living in homes that are penetrated by strong
magnetic fields from power lines.
ELF radiation is also strong near power substations, VDT's, dial
face electric clocks, on top of electrically heated water beds and under
electric blankets and heating pads. Because the magnetic fields from these
sources vibrate back and forth at 60 times per second, the same to-and-fro
movement will occur in the brain and body molecules of the human beings who
are exposed to them.
þþþþ Electromagnetic Radiation And Disease þþþþ
More than a dozen studies of men whose work exposed them to ELF
electromagnetic radiation found an increased incidence of leukemia, lymphoma,
and brain cancer. And two epidemiological studies have found that a
statistically high number of children in Denver who had died of cancer had
lived near high current electrical lines.
A recent study of New York State telephone workers by an
epidemiologist at John Hopkins University showed that these people, who are
exposed to magnetic fields on a daily basis, have an increased risk of
developing leukemia and almost all types of cancer.
Although scientists don't know exactly how exposure to ELF radiation
causes cancer, many of them suspect that it impairs the ability of the
T-lymphocyte cells, the infection fighting "soldiers" of the immune system to
combat cancer. With the great increase in breast cancer in women between 20
and 45, it's hard to overlook the fact that millions now spend eight hours
a day working inches from VDT's that emit the type of magnetic fields that
have been shown to promote the growth of tumors. And neither lead aprons nor
radiation screens that are sold for VDT's shield one iota of the magnetic
fields that completely penetrate the body.
þþþþ Birth Defects þþþþ
Although few animal studies have been done in the US to analyze the
effects of ELF radiation on pregnancies, dairy farmers have known for years
not to pasture herds or let them breed close to electrical lines. If they do
they have more stillborn and stunted calves and lower milk production. Within
the next five to ten years, ELF radiation will also be linked to many
degenerative neurological disorders including multiple sclerosis, autism, and
quite possibly Alzheimer's.
þþþþ The Big Cover-Up þþþþ
The government, the electric utility industry and appliance
manufacturers all maintain that there's not enough proof to make them take
action. This is the same thing people said for years about asbestos, until it
was proven to be a killer. Hundreds of thousands of people could die before
it's proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that electromanetic radiation is truly
dangerous.
The electrical utility industry is trying to persuade people that
common household appliances are as dangerous as power lines. This is a
dishonest attempt to obscure the real problem. Although it is true that your
hair dryer, for instance, gives off a magnetic field, the strength of the
field drops off dramatically within a few inches. Although your thumb might
get a little radiation, your whole body is not being exposed to harmful
radiation. Even more important, most people don't spend eight hours a day
using a hair dryer, as many people do with computers or electric blankets, nit
to mention living near power lines. The hazards come from long term exposure.
þþþþ Self Defense þþþþ
Until the government, the electrical utilities and manufacturers take
effective measures to shield us from low level electromagnetic radiation,
there are several things you should do to protect yourself.
þ Electric Blankets
þ Heating Pads
þ Heated Waterbeds
Throw them out! Although the industry is now designing these devices
to lower the amount of electromagnetic radiation they emit, safe products have
yet to reach the market.
þ Dial Face Electric Clocks
Keep them at least three feet away from your bed, your desk chair or
anywhere else you spend a great deal of time. Even digital clocks should be
kept at least a foot away.
þ Power Lines
Pressure must be brought on local, state and federal officials to
measure electronagnetic radiation near power lines and substations. In areas
where the radiation is unacceptably high, wires will have to be rerouted or
buried and substations moved. Join one of the organizations that are being
formed in every state to fight health problems caused by power lines. Or
litigate. People are hiring lawyers to take their cases to court. In the next
decade we will see an enormous amount of litigation against utilities and
manufacturers of computers, electric blankets, etc.
þ Video Data Terminals (VDT's)
It's easy to redesign a workplace in which VDT's can be used safely.
One organization, The Fund for the city of New York, changed its office layout
so that employees sit an arms length, 28 to 30 inches from their VDT's. They
found that electromagnetic radiation drops off sharply at that distance. But
radiation from VDT's doesn't come from the screen, it comes out the back and
sides as well. So the organization does not allow anyone to sit within 40
inches of another employee's VDT. Even safer: Laptop computers use safe liquid
crystal displays (LCD's) that do not give off hazardous magnetic fields.

Here's an interesting bit of information, from the
"Texas Co-Op Power" - Sept. 1993, issue, entitled
"Israeli Electric Wind Extinguishes Fires".
A novel, more environmentally sound method for extinguishing fires
uses electricity instead of chemicals or water.
The Technology, being marketed by a Tel-Aviv firm, directs an
intense electrical field and/or gaseous plasma to the base of the
fire. An "electric wind" cools the area in which combustion is
occurring. The process also inhibits the fire's fuel supply.
The technology should avoid some of the drawbacks of existing fire-
fighting equipment, such as ozone damage to the environment, hazards
to operating personnel, noise, and a high rate of costly fire
alarms.
A technical paper describing the new process was presented in late
May by co-inventor Esther Jacobson to a meeting of the National Fire
Prevention Association in Orlando.
The equipment uses only 1000 volts of electricity during an
extinguishing operation, according to Jacobson.
Spectrex Inc. of Cedar Grove, NJ, a subsidiary of Israel's
Spectronix Ltd., is looking for a strategic partner in the U.S. to
help it find suitable applications.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Vangard Note..
It is amazingly coincidental that Norman, Bert and some others
brought the principle of electrostatic quenching of fires up at
our last Roundtable. The discussion noted that with a
sufficiently intense ion flow (negative, I believe), a propane
torch could be directed at a flammable mass having such a
"shield" and it would not burn or even get hot.
Various theories were brought up regarding this phenomenon, among
them :
1) That heat and fire must be of an electromagnetic
Page 1
nature and thus involve frequency(ies) because of the
"interference" of the energy by this turbulent ion
wind,
2) that the ion wind acted to displace the oxygen from
the immediate vicinity and so cut off the fuel
necessary to sustain combustion
We have not seen any reports on this subject as to actual
experiments. These would make a great demonstration and/or video
and possibly lead to practical devices (portable?) like the one
described in the above article.
In some of our experiments with a large Tesla coil, it was noted
that an ionic wind did seem to be projected as the electricity
streamed from pointed fingers or arms. At that time, we did not
think about this being an opportunity to do some experiments.
However, one of the stunts used in our ZAP show was to hold up a
torch handle containing paper, then momentarily switch on the
coil. This caused the paper to flame up but it did NOT
extinguish it, possibly because of the short duration burst.
On leaving the platform after allowing the electricity to course
over the skin, you could smell ozone from your skin for a couple
of hours. There was also a spider web feeling as if some kind of
clinging sheet was attached to you. The only other thing I have
ever felt that was like this, was when you hang your arm over an
open car window on a warm day. The wind seems to place a charge
on the arm and you will feel a similar feeling where it tingles
and has this kind of static web. Perhaps this is what happens
with this electrostatic field, it forms a kind of web or matrix.
Try it yourself.
If a mass could be sufficiently charged, perhaps this is one
approach to CAUSING THE MASS ITSELF TO PROJECT THE WIND, thus
protecting it from flame and heat by both turbulence and oxygen
displacement.

The contents of the following article are at present undocumented
rumors which have been spoken of in various conversations with our
KeelyNet and Vangard Sciences contributors and consultants.
Biggest Joke in the World Today!
Destruction of the Ozone Layer by CFC's
According to all the newspapers, magazines and TV/Radio news
broadcasts, the primary cause of the Ozone layer destruction is
Chloro-Fluoro-Carbons (CFC's).
Dr. Fred Bell contends that the Government released a report, the
Global 2000 Report which indicates the real reason to be the
burning of jet aircraft fuel.
One 747 burning 100,000 gallons of fuel creates more pollution in
one day than all the fluorocarbon cans in the world for an entire
month.
There are thousands of planes flying daily throughout the world
and millions of gallons of jet fuel being consumed.
Conversations with several independent friends informs us that a
major chemical research and manufacturing firm has developed and
established comprehensive patents on a new non-CFC refrigerant and
propellant.
This new type of non-freon costs up to 3 times as much as the
freon we currently use.
The idea is to stir up the public with the continuing story that
CFC's (freon and various other chlorine and fluorocarbon
refrigerants) were the cause of the ozone destruction.
Once the public buys the story, Congress must take action by
banning the manufacture and sale of CFC chemicals.
Since our friendly company has the rights sewed up, manufacturers
will be forced to pay the tripled price to comply with federal
pollution regulations.
Of course, this will not resolve or reduce the destruction of the
ozone layer in any useful measure, since we will still be flying
our jets.
As temperatures continue to rise, drought will affect the food
output of farms, water rationing will be required, power will be
rationed to cut down on reliance on refrigeration and death from
heat stroke will become a frequent event.
For the sake of short term profits, the world will be sold out to
ecological destruction.
Dr. Bell worked heavily in the field of pollution, specifically in
the study of the human behaviorial system over time. Bell says
either a regeneration or a degradation of the human consciousness
can be brought on by various pollutants.
For example, the freeway shootings in California, although a
physical action, are caused by electro-chemical changes in the
body of certain humans prone to that type of influence.
People normally have a tendency to be light on trace minerals
which brings on psychoses under the influence of certain poisons.
Breathing carbon monoxide for eight minutes will keep the body
busy for 24 hours trying to dissipate the accumulation.
When the euphoric centers are poisoned, a body is unable to
produce the normal state of euphoria. A person will go crazy
because they feel trapped and become violent as a consequence.
Dr. Bell did many studies on hormone changes and behavior
response. He feels that much of the recent animosity and violence
in our society is a direct result of poisioning our systems to
suppress the natural euphoric feelings.
This results in schoolyard shootings, shootings in public where
young or old people will grab a gun and start shooting for no
reason.

SHEER LUNACY?
Growing flowers and vegetables by the moon is a centuries old
tradition, but does it really work and should we try it?
Moon gardening: More than lore?
By Anne Raver
New York Times News Service
The last full moon was two Sundays ago. And all over the
country, moon gardeners were planting by it - corn, pole beans,
sweet peas - because they know that a full moon will make corn grow
tall and pull a vining bean right up the pole.
"When I was 4, I'd go out with my grandmother, and we'd always
try to plant potatoes on the full moon," said Michael Petitt, 25,
who grew up in the hills of Kentucky. "And we'd plant pole beans and
corn and grasses on the full moon, for faster germination."
Mr. Petitt is an extension agent for Boyd County in Kentucky.
He is working on his master's degree in horticulture. But he still
plants by the moon.
"I think that geotropism - the effect of gravity on plants - is
greater on the full moon," he said. "But I think it also affects
some biochemical process. Of course I'd never say this to a client
on the phone."
Moon planters believe that the same gravitational force that
pulls the tides, the same cosmic rhythms that draw a horsehoe crab
ashore to mate, also cause crops, especially those that bear above
ground, to leap right out of the earth.
And conversely, when the moon is on the wane, as it is now, and
its light and gravitational pull are on the decrease, the earth's
gravity kicks in again, and roots burrow happily into the ground.
But don't plant anything when the moon is absolutely dark. The
next new moon is Tuesday, and that's when plants should rest. The
new moon also is a good time to kill weeds because they won't grow
back.
Page 1
The world of hard science hasn't tried to study this stuff.
"It's mythology," said Cynthia Rosenzweig, and agronomist at NASA'S
Goddard Institute for Space Studies in Manhattan. "There has to be a
physical reason why the moon's different phases would affect soil
properties, soil temperature, moisture content precipitation, which
are the actual physical factors that make seeds germinate. And that
isn't documentable."
He colleague Frank Abramopoulos, an astrophysicist, agreed.
"The tidal force - the gravitational pull of the moon - would be
there, but a level smaller than would affect any biochemical
processes," he said.
There was a long pause when he was asked if the moon, passing
through the sign of the zodiac, could affect plants.
"The moon is 238,000 miles away from us, which is very close,"
he said politely. "The nearest star is four light-years away, and
that light would not have an effect on plant life."
Scientists are so literal. That's why they're scientists.
They should look into it, Mr. Petitt said. But his people have
never worried about proof. It was there on the table, in a mess of
beans. In turnips bigger than grapefruits.
"We never said why; we just knew," Mr. Petitt said. "We didn't
question. The people who did question, they didn't have a crop."
There's a lot you can do if you read the moon right.
"Me and my grandpap, we'd cut locust for fence posts when the
moon was three-quarters full," Mr. Petitt said. "We'd cut them
green, leave the bark on and put them right in the ground. Then
Grandpap would pour about a gallon of water on them. And a month
later those posts would be sprouting. That's no lie, ma'am."
Mr. Petitt said people would come to look at those posts and
ask how it was done. "But if they didn't do it on the three-quarters
moon, it wouldn't work," he said.
Now the moon is on the wane. "Flowering bulbs and vegetables
THAT BEAR CROPS BELOW GROUNDbelow ground should be planted during
the DARK of the Moon," says the 1991 Old Farmer's Almanac. "That
is, from the day after it is full to the day before it is new
again."
Corda Kindall, 92, the sole resident of Olga, Mo. said that's
right: "Anything like radishes, onions, that grow underneath the
ground, why you plant them on a dark moon, and then they'll grow
larger and not be all tops. If you plant on the new moon, they'll
grow tail and bloom, but the radishes won't be good. Same with
potatoes. Plant them on the dark moon and they won't all go to top."
Mrs. Kindall planted her morning glory seeds, which had been
soaking in a jar, just before the moon was full. "And I'm going to
go out tomorrow and plant me some beans," she said.
It's not good to question these things too closely. The
Page 2
contradictions, for instance: Mr. Petitt plants potatoes on the full
moon, Mrs. Kindall on the dark.
But that's the way it is with moon gardeners. You can hardly
find two who plant the same way. And they all think they're right,
because whichever way they choose, it works.
"I always plant potatoes on Good Friday, because an older
gentleman taught me to do it that way, and he'd always done it that
way, and I always get more potatoes than anybody else, so there,"
said Miriam Dunlap, who farms 80 acres outside Des Moines. "My
husband's family always said, `Good seed, good potatoes, Good
Friday,' I swear it's just a reason to force you to get out there in
the mud to plant."
Maybe that's basically what it is, a ritual of chores, a giant
almanac as old as the Pyramids and the rising of the Dog Star, which
has marked the onset of spring, and spring planting, since the first
man, or woman, first put a seed in the ground.
Even the gardener in Dr. Rosenzweig, the Goddard agronomist,
believes, a little. "Even though I don't believe it scientifically.
I think the ancient traditions are wonderful," she said. "And who
knows: There are more things out there than are known by science."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
VANGARD NOTE:
It is amazing there are no scientists willing to make a study
of this. If under control conditions, the moon does have an effect
on the growing of plants, this could change the way that we farm.
Or is it possible the scientific community does not want to
admit, that the moon's gravity has an effect on PLANTS and HUMANS.
This would be an excellent experiment for one of you to do. Or
for someone in college. Better yet, how about getting one of your
kids to do this as a school science fair project?
Now if we were living on the moon and were to study the effects
of the Earth gravity on plants growing on the moon. That would mean
we would have to title this article ` EARTH GARDENING SHEER LUNACY!'

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Addenda
Is it not interesting that the effects of gravity seem to be
reduced when the moon is waxing or in the full moon condition.
If regarding this with the PULL GRAVITY theory, then the moon
would partially cancel the earth gravity by pulling mass in its
direction. This article therefore not only leads to ecological
improvements but opens up some interesting thoughts regarding
gravity.
There are indications that moonlight is polarized. Is it
possible that the light reflected from the moon might have a
spin whose direction is dependent on whether the moon is waxing
or waning?
Page 3
As an interesting note, in the metaphysical literature,
"scryers" or "crystal gazers" are advised to NOT allow their
crystal to be exposed to the light of the moon as it supposedly
interferes with the images seen within the crystal. (the
method of "cleansing" the crystal is to hold it under cool or
cold running water)
There are strange effects involving counter-clockwise and
clockwise spins, known as Coriolis forces when applied to spin
in the upper and lower hemispheres of the Earth.
Does this possibly indicate something relating to anti-gravity
having to do with a counter-clockwise spin? Note many files on
Keelynet which seem to indicate such a tendency, particularly
observations noted when viewing the Meyer Chronicles (a UFO
documentary on Swiss farmer Billy Meier).
In addition, the work of Davis and Rawls on magnetic fields
tends to support this observation. South Pole energy has a
counter-clockwise spin and causes mass to expand, while North
Pole energy has a clockwise spin and causes mass to contract.
The file RFP on KeelyNet gives more on this although there are
some discrepancies which have yet to be resolved. RFP was
written several years ago and needs to be updated, which I have
not had time to do.

The following offers a unique way to coagulate toxic waste from wastewater.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Science Digest - December 1982
In Brief
A derivative of the plant whose root provides cocktail sauce with its pungent
taste can be used to remove toxic pollutants from wastewater.
Horseradish peroxidase PRECIPITATES aromatic amines, phenols and other
organic compounds from water. It changes these pollutants from a water-
soluble state to an insoluble or solid, form that's easily filtered out by
technicians.
"I'm convinced that the horseradish derivative will replace microbial
treatment in many places," says Alexander Klibanov, a professor of applied
biochemistry at MIT.
Wastewater now is often treated in large ponds, to which micro-organisms that
feed on organic compounds are added. Charcoal is then used to remove organic
compounds that the microbes pass up. But the micro-organisms are sensitive to
temperature, which makes them uncooperative during the winter.

Ice Ages and Your Future
There have been many sages through history who have predicted some huge change
for planet Earth near or at the end of the 20th century.
I am not saying here that I believe they have predicted with accuracy the
events of the end of the century. I sincerely hope they are wrong, in fact.
But since I myself have also accurately and in great detail seen future events
pertaining to my own life, I know that it can be done, at least for an
individual. However, I am not here arguing the point of prescience.
According to geological records, there have been many ice ages here on Earth.
By lakebed and soil samples, they seem to start every 100,000 years, and last
90,000 years. The last one ended more than 10,000 years ago, which means that
we are OVERDUE for the next one.
Now, most people at this point might say "Pooh! If we are due for an ice age,
why isn't it getting colder? Well, here is the suprise. Recent discoveries
have indicated that the onslought of an ice age occurs over a SEVERAL YEAR
PERIOD! Something gets triggered, some environmental change occurs, and the
ice age comes, geoligically speaking, almost immediately!
The data I am giving here came out of a book called "The End" by Larry Ephron,
Phd. Published by Celestial Arts, 1988. It was endorsed by Buckminster Fuller.
The writer's basic contention was that as the soil mineral content becomes
more and more depleted, plants that grow on this soil convert less and less
carbon dioxide to oxygen thus causing a higher carbon dioxide content and thus
global warming. Global warming? Then why an ice age?
It works like this. As the equator becomes hotter and hotter water in the
oceans evaporates more and more. Convection currents are set up then between
the cooler and warmer climates, and the moist air is transferred to the poles.
Then, especially in winters, the moist air from the poles rushes down onto the
higher latitudes, and clouds over the planet. This then brings on an ice age.
What is not understood is, if the sun is blocked by these clouds, then why
does the water keep streaming north? Possibly the moisture is cleared out of
the air by the time it hits the equatorial areas again.
How does the planet then get out of an ice age? When ice drags across the
land, it first scrapes the dirt off the surface, then hits rock, and crushes
the rock, producing silt. This silt then mineralizes the lands downstream, as
well as all land under the ice which eventually recedes as the planet warms
up.
It warms up as more and more large-leafed vegetation grows on the mineralized
soils, producing oxygen again. The large leafy plants only thrive on highly
mineralized soils, according to the author. Then, once the atmosphere is again
warm, vegetation will slowly increase over a ten-thousand year period, using
up the minerals in the soil.
First the largest-leaved plants grow, which convert the most oxygen, then as
time goes by, those that cannot thrive on the present mineral content die off
and are replaced by new, smaller-leafed plants. And so it goes.
The last plants to grow are, as in the arctic, pine trees. One contradiction
to this is that supposedly pine trees produce much more oxygen than other
trees! So I don't know if this holds true for the rest of the needled trees.
Further complicating this scene is the advent of industrialized civilization.
For instance, 200 years ago, the oxygen content of the atmosphere was 35%. It
is now 19% and continuing to fall. Four thousand years ago the oxygen content
was 38%!
Solutions
The first solution is to curb the oxygen-hungry industry. This will no doubt
be very unpopular in some circles. The second solution would be to
remineralize the soils, and of course re-plant trees. LEAFY trees. And THIS
would be very unpopular with chemical companies!
So, it looks like we are doomed, unless a grass-roots effort is started to
test and verify these theories. And that is why you are reading this on a
computer network! That we can cross-communicate without having to get our
information through a special-interest controlled media might just be the
thing that saves planet Earth. Either from a political upheaval or from a
natural cataclysm.
Rockdust
The way to remineralize soils is to mineralize it with dust of rock, similar
to the consistency of flour. The workability of this was first discovered in
Austria, where the forests were dying with a blight.
A new road was cut through the forest, and someone noticed that in the area
where the dust from the road blew over the forest, the trees recovered!
To further verify this observation, the Australians dusted some farms which
had had pest problems. No more pests, and the plants were noticeably larger.
No fertilizers were used. The farm next door continued to have the original
problem.
Friends of this writer have tried sea water as a method of soil
mineralization, and in dilute amounts this also works very well! It was not
discovered what the long-term effects would be. There are obviously more
educated sources of this information but I have read or seen very little of it
as it is not a very commercial endeavor so who is to push it except those who
have lots of common sense? And on this crazy, mixed-up planet, where are those
people? Hopefully you, my friends!
I did, however see a recent TV news segment on the subject of Ice Ages and the
geologist was presenting it as if it was a totally new idea. But as you can
see the book was first printed in 1988.

Luminous Plants
Green foliage gives off an invisible deep red - almost black -
light detectable by sensitive IR equipment and films.
This has been found to be one of the most fundamental processes of
life and is directly associated with photosynthesis.
The initial discovery was made by biologists at the Oak Ridge
Laboratory of the Atomic Energy Commission while studying changes
in a chemical known as adonesine triphosphate (ADT) in plants
engaged in photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis takes place in the presence of light and is the
formation of starches and sugars from soil-held hydrogen and
atmospheric carbon.
Extracts from the bodies of fireflies give off a bright light when
the chemical ADT is present. ADT is also an important source of
energy in muscles.
Chloroplasts, the parts of plants which carry out the
photosynthesis process, give off light when mixed with firefly
juice and illuminated.
Surprisingly enough, they also found that living extracts of
green plants give off a light of their own without any mixing.
The light given off by the chloroplasts is now believed to be the
exact opposite of the first chemical step in photosynthesis.
Unstable chemical bonds are formed within the plant when light is
absorbed by the chloroplasts. Small portions of these chemically
induced compounds recombine to liberate energy that is eventually
trapped by the chlorophyll molecule, which is the true radiator of
the mysterious light.
Leaves, if frozen while being exposed to illumination, will retain
their light-producing ability for several months. In addition,
certain extracts prepared from leaves being exposed to light
contain substances which give off a bright light when certain
chemicals are added to them.

Hi Jerry ! This is my very first access to KN.
We recently met at the IANS conference on New Energy in Denver,
but I can imagine that it would be too hard to remember all folks.
Nevertheless we - that means some fellows interesting in the free
energy field - want to make these things more known in our country
if not in Europe as before and make them go.
Our professional backgrounds are different geosciences incl.
atmospheric physics, mineralogy but also theoretical and nuclear
physics and informatics, and even psychology. Our interest : F/E
machines, anti-gravity, UFO, 'drilling holes into the orthodox
science blindness in general', mind/matter effects, health etc. and
trying to get even some support out of government funds.
We have been visiting the conference with two fellows, ... all
financed privately ... that may show you how serious our interest
is.
I want to offer you our cooperation, because I see your objectives
as worth to be supported, and the idea of sharing our experiences
may guarantee that a technology will survive. To speak with the
words of Stan Deyo: don't get it patented, otherwise the technology
is lost for mankind. We suppose that at the time being the
suppression by the orthodox science institutions as well as of the
multinational companies having good profits of the known technology
may still be too dangerous that single fellows can develop a device
and succeed in managing a business from it of their own and the rate
of distribution and application with respect to more nonpolluting
energy generation would fail as well.
Myself I'm geoscientist (you may have got my card) working in the
field of environmental protection/computer application software and
data processing ... but with much interests beside that. I started
to gather informations about 2 years ago. Meanwhile I'm member of
DVS (German Association of Vacuum Eenrgy), ITS (Col.Springs) and
PACE (Ottawa). I work in close contact with Andrew Michrowski on
some projects.
Page 1
I just had some files (KEELY.TXT 04/20 til 05/05/93) of your BBS via
Alain Beaulieu who transfered it via CompuServe. Calls from Germany
are rather expensive, so we will shortly decide upon a file copy by
diskette ... I will inform you.
Here my first coop-offers of contributions and data requests.
1) conc. Mess. 95 04/25/93 : if you or others are searching for high
quality sensory equipment for static magnetic fields ... there is
a little German company producing bio-physical devices : MERSMANN
... they have a product called geo-magnetometer with a range of
20-150000 nano Tesla which can even spread parts of the scale by
a factor of 1:100 ... We will see him on the next weekend.
Possibly he has some English written product infos ... let me
know if you want to include it into the product folder or if you
want to get a complete info package from him.
2) If you are interested in T.T.Brown's work you surely know the
sketch of Schaffranke's book 'Ether Tech' with the lab
arrangement to make a metallic disk levitate by high voltages. Do
you know also that there exists one last video scene of TTB's
underground lab showing him and some collaborators working on and
performing exactly this experiment? These few minutes are really
amazing. The source: Stan Deyo (formerly in Texas), today in
Perth, Australia on the video of his contribution to the NEXUS
conference '92 in Sydney together with Bruce Cathie. By the way
... do you know of his work ... the EARTH ENERGY GRID ?
Interesting for you or old stuff ? ... drop me some lines.
3) Another offer of material: since some years and recently widely
known by a one hour TV-report Mr. PLOCHER, living in the south-
western part of Germany, succeeded in developing on the basis of
the work of REICH a device (solid-state, no moving parts) by
which overfertilized lakes and ponds can regain in a few weeks
their ability of producing sufficient oxygen to avoid further
immense production of organic material. The results of the tests
have been proven even by orthodox agricultural and agrobiological
institutions !
The device consists of two PVC-tubes (polyvinylchloride ... it
may be good because of its electrostatic properties) of about
10 centimeters in diameter and 50-60 cm in length ... both are
mounted about 1-1.5 of its diameter apart but parallel. Both
tubes have watertight caps of the same material.
Inside Mr.PLOCHER puts a piece of very thin aluminum, forming one
single layer at the outside of the inner wall ... to stabilize
the position of the foil he loosely fills the tube with sheep's
wool ...-> plastic, metal/crystallic structure, organic matter
... this remember is an orgone box.
The Al-foil is conditioned in a special way, it's the secret kept
by Mr. PLOCHER. ... but what I observed in the TV-report in his
lab was: he uses a kind of camera set up to project the
'information' of concentrated oxygen (coming from a pressurized
bottle) while getting solved in water on to the foil ... this
info about how water solves oxygen may be impressed to the AL's
grid and kept there. There was no diminishing of the proven
Page 2
effect observed. The double tubes - known as PLOCHER - tubes now
- are submerged into the water by a heavy concrete stone.
Larger lakes may need more than a single device - I guess the
density could be from 100 by 100 meters to 500 by 500 for each.
Another highly important area of application of these tubes are
to submerge it into ponds of liquid manure. The results reported:
spreading this matter to the fields as fertilizer did not lead to
bad smelling (ammonia) and there is no need for any preprocessing
in the sense of making the manure liquid by mechanical measures.
Both applications seem to be highly ecological ... and the
material effort is rather low ... that does of course not mean
that man's poisoning of the environment should be continued ...
but we have a good chance to re-create some of the areas which
most of us already thought to have been lost for all time.
One member of our group has contact to Mr. PLOCHER and if you
like we will try to disseminate that experience to the U.S.
4) Now a demand: In Denver you told me of a video showing an
experiment to visualize the body's chakras by a tesla coil
arrangement powered by a microwave generator and captured by a
special synchronized camera. I got curious of this possibility
... Can you give me some more information on who did this
experience ... the details of the experimental set up ... is
there a video copy available ? It may be very interesting for
diagnostic purposes.
Jerry ... please excuse if I don not succeed at any time to select
the right words to time ... but English is not my mother tongue ...
sometime it may sound strange for your ears ... I'm not familiar
with a lot of abbreviated expressions you normally use ... hope that
this is not hindering a data and information exchange. So if you put
some mail from me to the board and there are some misunderstandings
included or some funny sound ... please do correct it and let me
know for my own skill.
The job you did and do is great ! ... Cordially >>> Wolfram
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Vangard note....as you can tell, the primary interest of this
particular memo is that of the PLOCHER tube and the mention of
the MERMANN company for magnetic and electric field detection
equipment. Perhaps a .GIF can be drawn showing the construction
of the tubes. In regard to these tubes, we should note the use
of a tube that contained pressurized oxygen...this is the INERT
GAS GENERATOR as detailed in the book, "Einstein Doesn't Live
Here Anymore" by Maurice Cooke. The primary difference being
that oxygen is far from "inert". So this in turns opens up other
doors for those working in such areas as pressurized gases.
Cooke claims the inert gases are sources for what he calls
"primary points". These primary points can be used for many
things.

The following is from a document I received several years ago from an unknown
source. The article is from the January, 1966, Popular Science magazine and
I only have one page, but the gist is well stated. I think it is very similar
to the 'caterpillar drive' that was used in the movie, "Hunt for Red October".

Silent Sea Engine for Nuclear Subs
by James G. Busse
A magnetic pump with no moving parts, this simple device
may propel our submarines silently along the ocean floor
In the silent world of underwater warfare, the slightest noise can bring
sudden death to a submarine. The electronic ears of the enemy can detect
conventional engines and screw propellers as far as 100 miles away. A
computer intercepts the sounds and directs a deadly homing torpedo to their
source in minutes. How do you go about maneuvering a 3,260-ton nuclear
submarine without making a sound? Two medical researchers at St. Louis
University's School of Medicine may have found the answer - a revolutionary
undersea propulsion unit dubbed the "sea engine."
The interesting phenomenon upon which the sea engine is based was first
observed in 1964 by Alfred W. Richardson, a physiologist, and Sujoy K. Guha, a
young biomedical engineer from India. The two men were looking for a method
of simulating the flow of blood through the human body. They tried various
types of mechanical pumps without success. The pumping action was too
irregular.
While investigating the effects of magnetic fields on weak salt solutions
similar to blood, the two researchers stumbled across an interesting fact:
They could make the electrically charged atoms in such solutions move in one
direction by applying a magnetic field in just the right way. Then they made
a second important discovery: The moving atoms dragged water molecules along
with them so that the entire solution moved.
Richardson and Guha suddenly realized that they had the makings of a new type
of pump. They quickly assembled an experimental model and found, as they had
expected, that the device really worked. Their "pump" consisted of nothing
more than an unimpressive collection of junk-box electronic components. Yet
the instant they connected it to a source of electrical power, a weak salt
solution inside it began to move.
A number of tests were made and new models were constructed, some of which
permitted very accurate control over the quantity of liquid being pumped, and
others which made the liquid move in a series of pulses, duplicating the
pumping action of the human heart. Amazingly, the pumps could move a variety
of liquids - including ordinary tap water - without difficulty.....

Introduction
Here are a few facts and speculations in reference to Flying Saucers
and known experimental technologies. I therefore feel I should make
researchers more aware of the little known observations including a
few of my own. I refer to them as the less obvious side of this
ground breaking technology.
Facts and Theories
Some researchers believe Thomas Townsend Brown's work utilizing
Electrogravetic Repulsion is on the right track. It may
consequently, be said his devices must have emitted higher levels
negative ions versus positive in which case the creation or
congealing of substances such as nitrogen, oxygen and ozone as well
as other trace, or mix and match elements may be produced by the
saucers. These I speculate may be friendly to the environment of
our planet.
Negative ionization also has some medical backing as having some
beneficial effects on the mental and physical states in relation to
the human body. Foreseen on a large scale these devices may even be
utilized as sky scrubbers, or artificial atmospheric healers,
therefore they could aid in healing the earths ozone layer. Kind of
like your home ionizers on a much grander scale. That is if this
technology ever gets wide spread acknowledgment.
In the book "Case For The UFO." by M. K. Jessup, a book that aided
Thomas Townsend Brown in his theoretical work and which he highly
recommended reading, the same as I do. Flying Saucers are also
believed to use magnetic fields and magnetic beams adjoining the
Electrogravitation.
If this is so, then the following on page 34 of that book may be
relevant.
Page 1
"Speculating even further on this weird possibility, remember
that oxygen is a MAGNETIC substance. It is not, perhaps,
paramagnetic like iron, manganese and nickel, but nevertheless
sufficiently magnetic that it can be separated from the
constituents of air by means of a magnetic field."
This may be one way of getting oxygen and other magnetically
attracted gases required for use by crew members in order to breath,
safe purified air on board a Flying Saucer nearly identical to the
planet they come from.
Thereby making an artificial atmosphere out of earth's or any other
alien world. You choose the atmosphere by knowing the chemistry of
gases by their magnetic susceptibility. Separating or combining
gases through magnetic manipulation. Neat!
Flying Saucers are often spotted around larger bodies of water. Keep
in mind when electrodes make contact with substances such as water,
hydrogen can simply be extracted and perhaps utilized in conjuction
with oxygen to produce pure water extract. The hydrogen or oxygen
may also aid in amplifying the prime propulsion or may be used as a
secondary subsystem.
Another element that is extractable is calcium, rather common with
AC operated devices operated in water evidenced by the coating of
both electrodes. However, this may also occur in DC operated devices
and should therefore be studied. It is most likely going to be
attracted to the positive electrode. This element may pose a problem
or might not depending on the amount of current used, whether or not
it is burned off or broken up. It may render a Flying Saucer useless
or maybe an important insulator. It's one of the obvious potential
problems and therefore should never be overlooked while
experimenting.
CONCLUSION
If these idea's are correct and speculations can be positively
verified in conjuction with work being done along with the
aforesaid, perhaps we can join the real space race! You can make a
difference in transportation, ecology, chemistry, etc! The time has
come! The future is wide open!

Morse Water Technology

(209) 368-8681
The Morse water technology combines several well known water treatment
strategies with the additional principle of harmonic resonance to
create a system that is relatively simple, inexpensive to build and
operate and widely applicable.
This technology has revolutionary potential for the water treatment
industry.
It can be used, in different configurations, for drinking water,
industrial process waters and waste waters.
The attached FLOW DIAGRAM shows, the major components of the design as
follows:
1) ozone diffusion
2) ultraviolet radiation
3) harmonic resonance stimulation
4) separation of contaminant side streams
With regard to components 1 and 2, the Morse system should not be
identified with existing water treatment systems utilizing ozone or
ultraviolet light.
While these components are well established water treatment
strategies, in this technology their purpose is to create the
catalytic conditions for improved harmonic stimulation and separation.
Of course, in certain treatment problems, such as bacterial or virus
removal and reduction of chemical or biological oxygen demand (COD or
BOD), the effects created by ultraviolet light and ozone can be
significant in themselves.
Of greater importance for the Morse process, however, is the creation
of peroxide ions and the photocatalytic effects of ultraviolet light.
There is currently active discussion of the potential of such
strategies in the theoretical literature.
The underlying principle of the Morse technology is that every
chemical element, and as a result every combination of elements in
chemical compounds, has a characteristic resonant frequency.
Therefore, stimulating a material at the resonant frequency of one of
its components can enable control over that component and can even
cause overall changes in the material. This result is achieved in
components 3 and 4 listed above.
The harmonic signals are tuneable in both power and frequency. The
separator towers are tuned to attract and concentrate water
impurities.
The exact details of how the Morse technology works are proprietary,
but its achievement is to enable resonant stimulation and control with
relatively simple equipment and at low energy costs. Therefore, both
capital and operating costs are low.
Further, the range of applications is very broad since the process
relies on direct elemental stimulation rather than on specific
chemical or physical interactions that only sometimes enable
contaminant removal.

______________________________________________________________________
Additional information relating to some of the Morse technologies has
been gleaned from conversations with various persons personally
conversant with Morse, the man as well as certain Proprietary aspects
of his processes.
We feel the Morse system should be of PRIMARY IMPORTANCE to everyone
from an ecological standpoint. For that reason, we include the
following VANGARD DERIVED information with this paper to help the
reader to understand how they might utilize this technology for their
own personal uses.
Walter Russell and Bruce Cathie both have come to the conclusion that
there are a total of 144 elements in Nature. This has also been
calculated by Mr. Chips Morse.
In addition, Mr. Morse has derived a resonant frequency for each of
these elements. Many of the frequencies have been proven and are used
in the aforementioned water purification system.
We of Vangard Sciences, in conjunction with our Associates, have found
a periodic relationship of the elements in the Kilocycle range.
Mr. Morse uses Nanometer frequencies (10 to the negative 9th) which
come under the dominion of what are termed RADAR frequencies.
There is also the possibility of using MASER radiations, but this is
unlikely due to the difficulty in achieving and maintaining any degree
of stability with MASER cavities.
Keely says that the water molecule has a resonant frequency of 42,800
cycles per second. Mr. Keely proved this by dissociating water to
instantaneously generate up to 30,000 pounds per square inch from 3
drops of water.
We have information regarding the Morse technologies which indicates a
device capable of remotely scanning a building or vehicle for a
particular element of combination. These frequencies can be so
modulated as to alter the molecular structure of the scanned mass from
a distance.
An example, if a vehicle were to be scanned for the complex
frequencies which would indicate the presence of Cocaine, certain of
those frequencies could be re-transmitted to the target which would
cause the Cocaine to alter on a molecular level to a semi-toxic or
unconsumable form. This could all be done without the driver of the
vehicle from knowing that he had been "scanned".
We understand that the CUSTOMS SERVICE was contacted for possible use
of this technology in the Drug War, however, they declined to accept
it.
At the 1989 2nd Keely Conference in Colorado Springs we of VANGARD
SCIENCES released information which might assist in the understanding
of how sound waves could be so projected or applied to a mass
structure as to dissociate, manifest or transmute a mass aggregation
from one state to another.
To Wit,
Water (H2O) contains two parts hydrogen to one part oxygen.
When the water is cooled sufficiently, it begins to crystallize to
take the form of ice.
When water is heated, it becomes vapor, then steam.
In each of these phase changes, ice to water to vapor to steam,
THE COMPONENTS (H & O) COMPRISING THE STRUCTURE DO NOT ALTER!
We still have two parts hydrogen to one part oxygen.
What then does change??

ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATORS
Started in 1980, Project Recoup was a program for applying
advanced technology to the solution of a problem shared by a growing
number of U.S. communities: how to dispose of refuse in areas where
acceptable landfill sites are scarce.
Jointly sponsored by Langley Research Center, Langley Air Force
Base and the adjoining City of Hampton, Virginia, the program
involved development of a Refuse-fired Steam Generating Facility
that incinerates trash, reduces it to a readily-disposable ash, and
employs the heat of trash burning to create steam for practical use
at Langley Research Center.
A design base for modeling similar projects elsewhere, the
facility has proved eminently successful. It disposes of all solid
waste from the NASA center, the Air Force Base, and other government
installations in the area, and it also accommodates about 70 percent
of Hampton's municipal waste.
Hampton, principal financier for the project, realizes revenue
from trash disposal fees and from the sale of steam to Langley
Research Center. And there is an energy conservation bonus in that
the steam generated by burning waste cuts the amount of fuel
normally used by Langley by some two million gallons a year.
The project produced another bonus that has largely escaped
notice: an air pollution equipment control device, developed of
necessity in the course of the program, that is now commercially
available.
The device is an advanced electronic control for electrostatic
precipitators, widely used in pollution control applications
throughout industry. It is built by Kinetic Controls, Inc., Newport
News, Virginia, a company formed by two NASA/Langley employees--T.K.
Lusby, Jr. and David F. Johnston--who developed the control as their
contribution to Project Recoup, working for the most part on
personal time and with private funds.
The function of an electrostatic precipitator is to remove
particulate matter from the combustion gas created by the burning of
a fuel before the gas is expelled through a smokestack.
When standard fuels are burned, the smoke is of relatively
constant composition and the highest practical voltage is fairly
constant; once the voltage is set, as long as the same type of fuel
is used, only small changes in precipitation voltage are needed.
But when refuse is used as a fuel, the composition of the smoke
changes continually and that requires corresponding changes in
voltage over a very wide range.
To insure minimal pollution of the atmosphere, the two
NASA/Langley employees undertook to develop an innovative,
microprocessor-based control that automatically senses and
compensates for the changes in smoke composition by adjusting the
precipitator's voltage and current to permit maximum particle
collection.

Issue 17 The Earth Changes Report
February 1993 The Survival Guide for the Nineties,
Gordon-Michael Scallion, Publ.
SPECIAL REPORT
Final Warning Signs for California Super-Mega Quakes 8-12 on the
Richter scale -- Predicted to Occur NO LATER THAN MAY 9, 1993
In December, Earth Changes Report predicted that the next two months
would be highly volatile for earth changes west of the Rockies --
floods and storms have devastated California and a 5+ quake hit
northern California in an area that had, up until now, been
seismically quiet. East of the Rockies storms racked the Northeast
and portions of New York City went under water. Additionally,
significant earth changes have occurred globally in December and
January -- a 7.5 quake hit Japan (ECR prediction 12/92) and on
December 12th the first Indian Ocean quake and subsequent tidal wave
occurred (ECR prediction 10/92.) In my opinion, the final warning
bell has been sounded for California.
Previously Published West Coast Warning Signs
o Erratic weather pattern changes and severe storm predictions --
now on-going.
o First L.A. Quake Prediction -- occurred April 22, 1991.
o Second L.A. Quake Prediction -- occurred June 28, 1991.
o First Indian Ocean Quake/Tidal Wave Prediction -- occurred
December 12, 1992.
o 7.5 quake predicted for Japan -- occurred January 15, 1993.
o West Coast Migrations predicted to begin -- 200,000 left in
'92.
o Prediction for partial land mass fracture in CA -- 44 Mile
Fracture Occurred along ECR-predicted fracture line on June 28,
1992.
o Prediction for Third L.A. Quake -- 8+ has not occurred.
However, my prophecy states that it will happen NO LATER THAN MAY
9, 1993 and may occur along with super-mega quakes.
Time is short -- WITHIN 4 MONTHS. Back in '83 my information was,
"watch August 1991 to May 1993." Later, in April '91, the date
Page 1
became more specific -- NO LATER THAN MAY 9, 1993. I have sought
guidance as to how I could best assist at this late hour. Here is
what I received:
"If an 8.0+ (Richter scale) quake occurs in the Indian Ocean
region -- Sri Lanka should be watched carefully -- then within
days major earth changes shall occur in Japan, Alaska, Italy,
Martinique and the western United States and Canada." As to the
day and hour of the "big one" [California quake], this should
not be seen as a singular event. While May of this year will be
remembered as the month when the great plates shifted, events
shall occur even before this -- many [earthquakes] exceeding 7
on the Richter scale occurring roughly along a line drawn from
Vancouver, B.C. to Eureka to San Diego. Think in terms of quakes
lasting not seconds, but minutes!
Now, to clarify so there may be preparation and knowing. The super-
mega quake shall not have a singular epicenter. Rather the land
itself displaces its forces from north to south (see illus-tration
on right.) The current Richter scale will not be able to measure its
magnitude. Later, it shall be computed to have been in excess of 10
and a new scale shall be created.
The following areas of California will experience inundations.
Portions of San Diego shall go underwater as well as much of the
Imperial Valley. Tidal waves shall be created traveling south and
southwest along the whole West Coast. Los Angeles shall be the
hardest hit and initially will be thought to be the location of
epicenter, though later found to be only a portion of same. Multiple
quakes shall occur. The aqueducts feeding many cities such as Los
Angeles shall fail and much of California shall be without power.
Roads that cross other roads shall come down and become impassable.
Portions of land from San Francisco to Sacramento shall be displaced
by hundreds of feet in some areas. Numerous bridges shall collapse
throughout California causing many highways to become impassable.
Migrations will be to Arizona, Oregon, Nevada, Utah and Idaho. Loss
of life shall be great. Property damage and business loss shall be
measured in the hundreds of billions of dollars, causing the
national and global economy to severely decline."
If the final warning signs occur as presented, the areas close to my
predicted fracture zone (see ECR 6/92), THE FUTURE MAP OF THE UNITED
STATES) -- 50 miles either side -- will be the hardest hit.
Thousands of ECR readers have written to me saying that they know
the BIG ONE is coming, but feel they have no choice but to stay
because of jobs, family, home, investments, etc. As I have
repeatedly stated, each must trust his or her own intuition in this,
as well as in all matters. I can only give you the signs. PLEASE
PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR INTUITION, NOW, MORE THAN EVER. We have been
warned on all levels (see Reading the Signs by Cynthia Keyes in this
issue.) If you have consciously decided to stay during these changes
for whatever reason, maybe you will be able to help others. I
believe only 1 in 3 will choose, or be able to, leave California
during Tribulation. Healers in the thousands will be needed,
especially at the emotional-mental levels.

Definitions: "Mega-quakes" when used in ECR, indicate earth-
quakes having a magnitude range of 7.5-8.9 [on the
Richter scale.]
"Super-mega quakes" used in ECR indicates
earthquakes having a magnitude higher than 9.
"Tribulation" means the time period from 1991 to
1997 and it is further defined as a time period of
spiritual choosing and great Earth changes.

THE G.D. NEWS IN REVIEW #43
Western Region News, December 1989
A MILITARY CONTRIBUTION TO THE EARTHQUAKE PREDICTION TOOLBOX?
Common tools used in earth monitoring include strain gauges,
tiltmeters, well-level floats, geodometers, radon detectors,
electro-telluric meters, seismometers, and other instruments. Some
psychokinetic researchers study abnormal animal behavior and/or
hypersensitive humans affected by earth perturbations.
Disappointingly, except for some M5 "re-shocks" that occurred months
earlier and a couple of not-so-significant-looking M1 shocks more
closely preceding the Loma Prieta main-shock, no precursors were
obvious to help fortell that impending disaster.
Electrical engineers involved in ultra-low-frequency (ULF)
electromagnetic research for the military, however, stumbled onto an
earth sensing method which may be added as a useful tool for deep-
earth studies here in California.
ULF waves have interested the military because of their ability to
penetrate into the oceans and detect movements by enemy submarines,
and one of the ULF antennas in the global array just happens to be
located in the Santa Cruz mountains. It serendipitously picked up
significant electromagnetic anomalies preceding the Loma Prieta
earthquake.
Antony Fraser-Smith, 9415) 723-3684, head of a Sanford University
group involved in this research, indicated at AGU that the
Corralitos ULF station picked up longwave radiation that deviated
from normal backgfound noise in the days and hours immediately
preceding the 5:04 p.m. earthquake of October 17.
Is this the first instrumented reading of a deep-earth piezoelectric
effect that contributes to spooking animals into abnormal behavior
or does it have something to do with charging air to produce the
myterious glows sometimes reported as "earthquake lights?"
Chi-Yu (EVE-T) reported in a February 1983 article in NATURE that
researchers Gokhberg, Morgonouv, Yoshino, and Timizawa picked up 30
minutes of electromagnetic emissions before a March 1080 quake in
Page 1
Japan. Soviet science reported electromganetic anomalies in the
70's, and two days of radio noise interfered with the Chinese
military and civilian radio before the 1976 Tangshan earthquake, a
7.8 event which also produced earthquake light.
The discovery of ULF radio anomalies associated with the Loma Prieta
earthquake will very likely be researched further to better
determine its possible quake-sensing capability for other areas
along the San Andreas fault.
Because Frase-Smith needs another earthquake for testing, the
Parkffield Pediction Experiment looks like the perfect laboratory.
[Chart description (not included because of ASCII limitations)
entitled: "A coincidence?" This chart shows low frequency radio
waves detected near the epicenter of the Loma Prieta
quake three hours before it began. The measurements stop
where the electricity failed, and begin again during a
period of aftershocks. Source of the graph is Sanford
University]

Communications of ACM [Association for Computing Machinary]
HERE COMES THE SUN... Solar activity is at its peak from now through
April 1990, and scientists are worried that the atmospheric effects
will be powerful enough to cause major computer systems to crash.
Solar storms and radiation-spewing sun flares are electrical and
magnetic currents that can alter the Earth's magnetic field. Space-
based computer systems can be damaged by such solar emissions, while
ground-based computers are vulnerable to such dangers as electircal
surges that can harm power grids. (Solar surges were recently
blamed for wiping out computer systems at the Toronto Stock
Exchange.) Sun-watchers say threatening sunspots will remain
extremely energetic until early spring before begining to slowly
taper off into 1993.

R_12.ASC
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This file shared with KeelyNet courtesy of John Chipps.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The following information about R-12 was taken from 'The Driving
Force' a publication produced by Valvoline Oil and distributed to
ASE certified Master Automobile Technicians. Valvoline nor ASE is
responsible for the "opinion" portion.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Summer 1993 issue
Under pressure from the Clean Air Act to eliminate production and
importation of R-12, DuPont, the worlds largest manufacturer of R-
12, will phase out production by the end of 1994.
At least 65% of 1993 vehicles and nearly every pre-1993 vehicle with
air conditioning requires R-12. 150 MILLION CARS AND LIGHT TRUCKS
USE R-12. THERE IS NO "DROP IN REPLACEMENT" FOR R-12 and IT IS NOT
PROBABLE THAT WE WILL SEE ONE. Unless something is done to relax
the short sighted and arbitrary requirements of the Clean Air Act
you will have to roll your windows down when your air-conditioner
needs service.
Auto makers are working on recommendations to convert SOME of the
late model cars. To convert to the new R-134 will require replacing
several major components, hoses, flushing with R-12 (of which there
won't be any!) and replacement of O-ring seals.
Your air-conditioner system is also more likely to leak due to the
smaller molecular structure of R-134. Cost estimate by industry
experts: $800.00 You know how often estimates by "experts" are
accurate. Cost of R-12 has already quadrupled but R-134 is still
several times more costly.
There are as many studies that show NO link between the Ozone layer
and use of clorofluorocarbons as there are that suggest such a
connection. While the Clean Air Act has a noble title and lofty
ambitions, it is yet another in a series of poorly thought out, knee
jerk reaction, short sighted and "We'll all have to give a little"
STUPID pieces of legislation.
Of course the folks that made the law won't mind because they also
give themselves enough raises to be able to buy new cars and so
won't be affected. The average age of a car in the US is between 7
and 10 years. These vehicles will either not be eligible for
conversion or it will not be economically feasible to do so.
Page 1
You may safely expect a similar fate for the R-22 that is in your
home air-conditioning system and your refrigerator and your freezer,
etc.

Write your legislators NOW. They don't always listen when they
should but if the owners of 150 Million cars write, WE WILL BE
HEARD!

Vangard Note
This interesting file confirms what we had heard many years ago.
That the ecological "damage" allegedly caused by freon and other
CFC's is in fact a contrived event to precipitate the FORCED USE
of a much more costly "solution".
This was pointed out a few years back in the file FUZZY1.ASC on
KeelyNet. A major study was done by the Japanese which found the
greatest SINGLE pollutant was jet fuel. The emission from just
one jet in a day's worth of travel was more than all the wasted
CFC's of the entire world for an entire month. And think how
many jets are in the air daily and on a worldwide basis.
Think how it would affect commerce and travel should this be
brought to the major publics' attention or steps taken to reduce
jet travel?
The main problem with such "events" is that insufficient numbers
of people come forth in an organized way to FORCE change. Rather,
we just grumble, talk amongst ourselves and put up with it. I
was kind of hoping that Perot might be a major catalyst with many
of his group actually taking action from an organized standpoint,
but it seems that movement has been considerably short-circuited
by personality and a lack of cooperative-directed teamwork.
We have had discussions with many other KeelyNetters as well as
other contacts and friends who percieve a degree of directed
manipulation from either the government or other - at present -
unidentified sources. Many of us believe the purpose of these
manipulations is to collect data which is being used to fine tune
equations that will eventually be used in computer programs and
be able to predict the behavior of large and/or targeted groups
of people. These in turn will be used for at present unknown end
goals. AT PRESENT, we can do little to halt these actions.
Our best bet is to keep on sharing information and building
experiments that might lead to the free release of free energy,
anti-grav or health related technologies.

The idea of LIVING OFF THE GRID intrigues the majority of us who
research free energy and its various aspects. These folks
concentrate on solar cells, batteries, DC systems running on 12 VDC
and various ways to heat and conserve.
Some of the products need to be more fully exposed, so here is a
short listing of what they offer and the cost. You might consider
it if you are planning to get "off the grid". (Love that term!)
Please mention that you heard of them from KeelyNet so we can keep
on their mailings, this way we can continue to inform others by such
sharing.

A neat idea is the Automatic Off disc which fits in the bottom of
any light bulb. It automatically switches the light off after 10
minutes just in case someone walked out of a room and left the
lights on. If you want more time, flip the swith once and the light
will stay on for 2 hours before switching off. The product is
called Automatic Off and sells for $10 each.

How many of us are strapped to a house payment, stuck in a position
as corporate slaves? Wouldn't it be fantastic to buy a small plot
of land out in the country, put up a few interlinked geodesic domes,
set up some solar cell panels, some hot water tubing and be as
independent as possible?
Then convert our vehicle over to electric and grow some of our own
food for partial control over our sustenance. Heck, with a small
hill (or a created one) you could build an underground or semi-
underground house. Maybe even a tank on the hill to keep filled
with rainwater, then a hydro-electric system for backup to be
gravity fed from the tank. Swimming, power, food and no bills!

ROACH1.ASC
--------------------------------------------------------------------
A Non-Pesticide way to rid of Roaches
Roaches, along with many other insects, detect the presence of
danger through their antenna and very fine hairs on their body.
As a predator approaches, the slight air currents which precede the
movement of the body cause the antenna to vibrate. This movement is
magnified through the length of the antenna to alert the insect of
an approaching danger.
Roaches are therefore VERY RESPONSIVE to the movement of air
currents and will run for cover. They also seek out moisture and
darkness.
According to researchers with the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
this sensitivity to drafts offers an excellent natural means of
driving them away.
Keep your windows open to allow breezes to move through your home.
The breezes not only disturb the roach antenna, but will dry out any
moist areas where roaches tend to lay their eggs.
We at Vangard Sciences and KeelyNet lean toward natural pest control
methods whenever and wherever possible.

"The Times of July 21 [1930] contains an article stating that
Walter Russell challenges the Newtonian theory of gravitation. This
artist, who is admittedly not a scientist, goes on to say that the
fundamentals of science are so hopelessly wrong and so contrary to
nature, that nothing but a major surgical operation upon the present
primitive beliefs can ever put them in line for a workable
cosmogenetic synthesis'. . .
"It seems to me it would be more fitting for an artist of Mr.
Russell's acknowledged distinction in his own field, to remain in
it, and not go trespassing on 'ground which even angels fear to
tread'. "For nearly three hundred years no one, not even a
scientist, has had the temerity to question Newton's laws of
gravitation. Such an act on the part of a scientist would be akin
to blasphemy, and for an artist to commit such an absurdity is, to
treat it kindly, an evidence of either misguidance or crass
ignorance of the enormity of his act. . ."
-- Dr. John E. Jackson, The New York Times, August 3, 1930.
Page 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dr. John E. Jackson's letter to you, a copy of which he
graciously sent to me, is a perfectly natural letter of resentment
for which I do not blame him in the least.
"It is true that I have challenged the accurateness or
completeness of the Newtonian laws of gravitation, and will just as
vigorously attack the other "sacred laws" of Kepler, and any others,
ancient or modern, that need rewriting. . .
"I am sorry an artist had to do it, but Sir Oliver Lodge said
that no scientist could make the supreme discovery of the one thing
for which science is looking and hoping. He said that such a
discovery would have to be the 'supreme inspiration of some poet,
painter, philosopher or saint'. . .
"Newton, for example, would have solved the other half of the
gravitation problem if he had found out how that apple and the tree
upon which it grew got up in the air before the apple fell. I
challenge the world of science to correctly and completely answer
that question. . ."
-- Dr. Walter Russell, The New York Times, August 17, 1930.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"I now wish to modify my statements and criticisms, for, since
writing that letter, my viewpoint has somewhat changed. . . What I
considered to be the overnight inspiration of a 'crank' might be,
instead, the result of an intelligent and prolonged study of
Nature.
"I am immensely intrigued by Russell's 'two-way' principle, for
it gives this universe of motion a meaning to me that it did not
have before. In fact, we know very little of the why of anything. .
"Why did not some scientist think of this instead of waiting
300 years for an artist to tell us about it? . . .I invite the
collaboration and criticism of my fellow scientists at large to join
me in this. . . If Russell is right, and he surely thinks he is, his
claim that science needs 'a major surgical operation' is
justifiable. . ."
-- Dr. John E. Jackson, The New York Times, November 9, 1930.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. John E. Jackson was furious. What educated person would
have the audacity to challenge Newton and Kepler? For months the
debate raged in the New York Times' "Letters" page. Prompted by the
release of an artist's heretical views on science, Nature and the
universe, the Times' 1930 filibuster culminated in Dr. Jackson's
dramatic reversal -- what began as a caustic attack was transformed
into a call for his colleagues' support that had the fervent ring of
religious conversion. Dr. Jackson, whoever he was, had caught a
glimmer of the genius of Walter Russell.
But in the end, Dr. Jackson notwithstanding, the world of
Page 2
science did not embrace Walter Russell, nor have sixty years of
progress changed that position. Today, despite the wide sphere of
contacts and influence generated by Russell and his wife and
colleague, Lao, their teachings largely await unearthing.
However, the time for that rediscovery may be at hand; for the
Russells' vision suddenly has burning relevance to an acknowledged
urgent matter of global health. And the role of advocate for the
Russell perspective may best be fulfilled by those in the
macrobiotic movement -- for the macrobiotic world view and Russell's
practical cosmology have much in common.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloud Over the Ozone
Our story begins some ten miles above the Earth's surface in
the stratosphere, home of the planet's ailing ozone skin and
birthplace of the emerging global awareness of the limits of man's
technology. In 1974, two scientists at the University of California
made an announcement that shocked the world. When Drs. Sherwood
Rowland and Mario Molina warned of possible global ozone depletion,
they touched off a controversy that was to involve scientists,
industry, policy-makers, the press and the public. The "Ozone War,Ó
as it came to be called, was principally responsible for ushering in
a new era of planetary policy. [See sidebar.]
Fifteen years later, the ponderous gears of human response are
finally grinding into action. Aimed at coping with the infamous
"ozone hole,Ó a spate of local and global policy-making is pushing
its way forward in an unprecedented atmosphere of international
cooperation. Rep. Al Gore (D-TN), the seasoned environmental
advocate who helped uncover Love Canal and has stalked the
Greenhouse effect for years, recently introduced legislation to ban
production of CFCs (the chemical generally thought responsible for
the ozone crisis) within 5 years. As Gore observed this February:
"The political sentiment is changing very rapidly. . . I think
people are mad about this and ready for dramatic action.
But are they the right actions? Not according to Walter
Russell, who predicted the ozone dilemma 35 years ago -- a full 20
years before the Rowland/Molina research made headlines -- and
ascribed it to an entirely different cause.
If Russell's views were correct, then the chlorine chemistry of
CFCs is not the prime culprit [see sidebar], and no one is looking
in the one direction that matters most. In fact, according to
Russell, there is one overarching solution to the atmospheric
emergency: stop making nuclear stockpiles -- immediately.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
A Different Scenario
The year is 1954. Sherwood Rowland's ozone prognosis is two
decades in the future; Three Mile Island is a quarter century still
to come. To most of us, the "Greenhouse effect" connotes little
more than a better way to grow tomatoes. The word "ecology"
scarcely exists in the mainstream lexicon.
Page 3
This is the year atmospheric bomb testing has begun, both by
the Soviet Union in Siberia and by the United States on the Bikini
atoll. John Wayne and a company of actors and movie personnel are
filming a Western in Nevada, and emerge from long days' of shooting
covered with radioactive fallout. Years later, it will be
discovered that nearly all of them have just received a death
sentence. But all of that is many years away; for now, most of us
are caught up in the promise of Eisenhower's "Atoms for Peace.
This year, Walter and Lao Russell write their warning in a
privately circulated newsletter to their students: Oxygen and
radioactive stockpiles cannot coexist. Digging up the Earth's
heavier elements, concentrating their reactions and releasing their
products into the atmosphere is a recipe for disaster.
Three years later the Russells publish a book, Atomic
Suicide?, whose principle message is that the development of the
nuclear weaponry and industry, if allowed to continue, will
eventually destroy the planet's oxygen.
"The element of surprise which could delay the discovery of the
great danger, and thus allow more plutonium piles to come into
existence, is the fact that scientists are looking near the ground
for fallout dangers and other radioactive menaces. The greatest
radioactive dangers are accumulating from eight to twelve miles up
[in the stratosphere]. The upper atmosphere is already charged with
death-dealing radioactivity, for which it not yet sent us its bill.
It is slowly coming, however, and we will have to pay for it for
another century, even if atomic energy plants ceased today.
(Atomic Suicide?, page 18.)
Later in the book, they predict that the oxygen-destroying
effects of radiation would not be noticed "until the late
seventies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Atomic Prophesies
It was an uncannily accurate forecast: ozone depletion was
first noticed over the Antarctic in 1982 -- and scientists have
since concluded that it first appeared in 1979. But then, as now,
the Russells' voice received little notice.
The somber prediction of Atomic Suicide? was not the first time
Russell had gone out on a limb with scientific prophecy. His spiral
charts of the atomic table, copyrighted in 1926, predicted the
discovery of the transuranic elements Plutonium and Neptunium, as
well as the now-familiar elements of "heavy water, Deuterium and
Tritium -- years before they were isolated in research labs.
Some have claimed that the 1926 Russell charts (for which he
later received an honorary doctorate from the American Academy of
Sciences) and his years of New York City lectures on the subject led
directly to the laboratory research that resulted in these elements'
later discovery. It is difficult to document such a claim at a
half century's distance, but this sequence certainly is feasible.
Russell himself evidently exerted considerable energy for years
urging the research labs of Union Carbide, Westinghouse, General
Electric and others to verify his atomic findings.
Page 4
In any case, the exclusion from the mainstream of Russell's
charts is perhaps one of the most unfortunate snafus in the history
of science. For in neglecting to credit Russell with these pivotal
atomic discoveries, the world also lost track of the other side of
the Russell equation: the larger scientific understanding in the
spiral charts, the pragmatic warnings that accompanied them, and the
breathtaking scope of macrobiotic thought his life and work
revealed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Who Was Walter Russell?
Russell's stunning achievements in science were but one facet
of a career that was unconventional, astonishingly successful,
dazzlingly versatile and unabashedly mystical. Often called "the
20th Century's Leonardo" and "the man who tapped the secrets of the
universe,Ó Russell maintained that a firm grasp of nature's
universal principles would permit anyone to excel in any area of
endeavor; thus genius was all human beings' birthright.
His own accomplishments exemplify this belief. A largely self-
taught Renaissance man, Russell carved out his first successful
career as an artist, achieving international reputation in such
diverse fields as portraiture, poetry, sculpture and architecture.
His accomplishments as a portrait painter and sculptor, in
particular, won him commissions from dozens of era notables, such as
Mark Twain, Thomas Watson (the founder of IBM), both Roosevelts
(Teddy and FDR), and Thomas Edison. He also designed buildings and
urban layout -- New York City's famous Hotel Pierre, for example, is
a Russell creation. Forays into the world of athletics earned him
prestigious awards in figure-skating, horsemanship and race-horse
training.
To Russell, such bravura performance was significant mainly for
its value as a demonstration that Divine Law and Balance could be
tapped by human effort, and the world of art was only a starting
point. Russell's yearning to imbue the social fabric of his era with
principles of universal justice led to his long association with the
Twilight Club, a contemporary "think tank" of artists and social
philosophers.
Through the Twilight Club, whose direction he assumed in 1895,
Russell formed bonds that were to endure throughout his life; in the
early decades of the century the work of the Twilight Club members,
under the influence of Russell's teaching of Divine Law and
Universal Order, produced a virtually endless procession of social
innovations, such as the creation of child labor laws and child
welfare laws, Better Business Bureau and the elimination of
sweatshops.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The Living Universe
It was in science, however, that Russell left his least known
and perhaps his greatest legacy. While steeped in the discoveries
and frontiers of his own time, Russell's science essentially is a
thorough reworking of a Taoist or pre-Socratic world conception in
modern terms. Freely blending mystic and religious imagery with
rigorous mechanical logic, Russell's scientific cosmology is rooted
Page 5
in the idea that all phenomena, from star systems to atomic systems,
arise from the same infinite source to live, grow and die by
precisely identical processes.
Hence, there is no fundamental difference between animate and
inanimate matter in Russell's universe -- all are living
manifestations of God's universe.
"All bodies in all the universe are the same in all respects,
whether they are electrons, cells, rocks, metals, trees, men,
planets or suns. All of them live and die in the same manner. All
breathe in the charging breath of life and breathe out the
discharging breath of death. All of them compress heat and polarize
when they breathe in, and expand, cool and depolarize when they
breathe out. (Atomic Suicide?, p. 9.)
Thus, Russell's universal mechanics hinges on a
reinterpretation of the ancient "unified field" theorem of yin and
yang. Life -- not only biological life, but the existence of
planets, gases and metals as well -- is caused by increasing
compression; and death, by expansion. These two processes, which he
also terms "charging" and "discharging,Ó are not seen as separate
forces but as opposite stages and directions of one process, much
like the winding up and subsequent unwinding of a spring. Life
dominates every form from its inception to the point of maximum
compression, when the spring cannot be wound any tighter;
compression then begins to decrease, radiation assumes dominance,
and the process of releasing life's charge -- of dying -- unfolds.
To Russell, the elements of matter are also living entities in
various stages of birth, growth and decay. Carbon, the basis of
organic life, is the expression of matter at maturity; elements of
higher atomic weights are already dominated by the aging side of the
pendulum's swing. In the heaviest elements, the force of decay
reaches near-total dominance over the force of life -- thus
radioactivity is death incarnate. [See sidebar, "The Spiral of
Elements.]
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The Secret Life of Plutonium
The key to grasping Russell's understanding of radioactivity
and ozone is the realization that all the elements, like all life
forms, are ideally suited to existence within their own natural,
local ecology. Thus, all the elements, when left in their natural
dimension, serve beneficial and life-giving purposes, including
Urium -- later dubbed "Plutonium.
Put another way, each octave or dimension of matter has its own
natural pressure zone. [For an explanation of the octave idea, see
the sidebar, "The Spiral of Elements.] The five elements of organic
life (C, H, N, O and Si) all need the normal pressures found at the
Earth's surface to exist normally. The natural dimension for the
supercompressed, naturally radioactive elements (radium, uranium,
plutonium, et al.) is deep underground, where they are widely
dispersed in solid rock. Here, far from being deadly or poisonous,
they actually have made possible organic life on Earth's surface:
through billions of microscopic explosions, they have gradually
caused the surrounding rocky crust to break down and release water
Page 6
and other lower-octave elements -- something like a geological
compost.
"Water and soil are decayed and dying rock. They are,
literally, dead rocks. Out of death in Nature life springs. . .
Think of the hundreds of millions of years Nature has to work to
decay solid rock and metal planets sufficiently to create enough
decayed surface, and an atmosphere, for organic life to become
possible. The radioactive metals made that possible. Radioactive
metals are dead and dying bodies. They belong underground just as
dead animal bodies belong underground. They are not poisons in
their own environment. . . Man makes them poisonous by removing
them from their purposeful environment.
"Just as the slight decay of an overripe peach will not hurt
you, while a fully decayed one might kill you, so, likewise, the
'overripe' chemical elements of the earth which are not too far from
carbon [potassium, selenium, iodine, etc.] will not hurt you, while
the further they are beyond carbon the more deadly they become, and
the more impossible it is to guard yourself from their quick death.Ó
(Atomic Suicide?)
In short, said the Russells, the only structures naturally
suited to exist together with the radioactive elements are rocks.
Even concrete, durable metals, "glassified" tombs or salt beds --
structures presently considered to contain high-level radioactive
wastes -- will eventually decay in proximity to the concentrated
pressures of such supercompost. The soft tissues of the fourth and
fifth octaves, including our bodies, vegetation and the atmosphere
itself, certainly cannot endure such a powerful unwinding.
So, then, what would happen? In Russell's estimation, the
lighter pressures of the stratosphere would retain the majority of
radioactive fallout, and would be the first region that would reveal
the wholesale destruction of oxygen. That's oxygen, not just ozone:
if played through to the end, the last act of the nuclear drama
would see the disappearance of all oxygen on the planet, whether as
ozone, water or the O2 we breathe. In this context, the ozone hole,
as serious as it is in its own right, emerges as an early warning
sign.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Our Depleted Personal Ozone
In addition to destroying ozone, Russell's logic would also
seem to predict other early effects, including the destruction of
oxygen mechanisms within our bodies; for the body concentrates far
more radiation within its tissues than exists freely in the
atmosphere. Dr. Tim Binder, a leading spokesman for the Russells'
work, has postulated that "radiation may affect the oxygen-ozone in
our white blood cells that is one of the principal [immune system]
mechanisms used to destroy pathogens.
This line of thinking may already have been confirmed. For
decades, a body of surprising data on health and radiation has been
observed by a number of researchers, notably Dr. Alice Stewart in
England and Dr. Ernest Sternglass in the US. Their figures show
that long-term, relatively low-level level radiation may wreak up to
1,000 times more biological havoc than currently accepted "risk
Page 7
levels" predict. The mechanism responsible for this dramatic trend
was first discovered in 1972 by a Canadian researcher named Abram
Petkau, and has since been confirmed by other researchers. [This
issue's article by Sara Shannon details the Petkau effect and its
dietary implications -- Ed.]
The little-publicized "Petkau effect" occurs through the
creation of highly reactive oxygen molecules with a "negative
charge" (the negative ion 02Ð). But according to Russell, Nature
produces no such thing as a "negative charge.Ó All matter, he
maintained, exhibits both charging and discharging properties; and
all charges, whether of male or female polarity, are positive. In
Russell's terms, what Petkau observed is not a "highly reactive
negative ion" but a changed form of oxygen that is abnormally
balanced towards discharging its energy rather than charging --
unwinding rather than winding.
Thus, what Petkau first documented in 1972 and what Rowland and
Molina first suggested two years later may prove to be precisely the
same symptom, only on different scales. Perhaps we are already
suffering from internal "ozone depletion; or put another way,
perhaps the Earth's ozone crisis amounts to radiation burn -- Gaia
herself is already suffering from the Petkau effect.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Rx For Disaster
A problem without solutions is not worth unearthing, and
Russell's life was centered on practical solutions. As an immediate
measure, Russell recommended that all nuclear stockpiles be
dismantled and their materials dispersed in deep desert trenches.
His reasoning here is three-fold. First, the goal ought to be to
return these elements to their natural context -- that is,
underground -- where they originally were harmless. Secondly,
concentrating them in massed piles is a big mistake: they should be
widely dispersed, as they occur in nature. Thirdly, remote desert
regions should be selected as an added precaution, assuming that it
will take some time for us to master Russell's atomic mechanics
sufficiently to repatriate the volatile materials properly and, if
possible, correct the existing stratospheric damage.
The key to such proper treatment may lie in the intriguing
science of atomic transmutation, which holds that elements can
change into one another freely within normal conditions (i.e., not
requiring the tremendous heat and pressures of a high-tech particle
accelerator.) Also like Georges Ohsawa, Russell asserted that low-
energy, "table-top" transmutation of elements was eminently
possible. Fueled by an early conviction that the civilization of
our present time would require new sources of energy, Russell
developed an approach to derive free hydrogen from the atmosphere
through atomic transmutation. [The recent claims of several teams
of scientists to have achieved "table-top" nuclear fusion may
finally have provided mainstream evidence of this claim; as of this
writing, not enough information has been released to evaluate the
nature of the news-making discoveries -- Ed.]
Other energy sources suggested by Russell's work include
devices using the winding-up "life principle" of nature, rather than
the winding-down "death principle" exemplified by explosive
Page 8
technologies of combustion and atomic fission. In other words,
Russell maintained that so far we have employed only half the
possibilities the two-way universe presents. Examples of such
technologies include an "implosion engine" and a logarithmic solar
amplifier. [Forthcoming issues of Solstice will report on the
present state of several of these technologies -- Ed.]
This is a radical concept; it is not hard to see why the great
electrical science pioneer Nikola Tesla once told Russell he should
"lock up his work in a vault in the Smithsonian for a thousand
years" to keep it for future generations who might be developed
sufficiently to understand it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Challenge to Science
Meanwhile, back at the labs of established science and the
chambers of policy-making, it is highly unlikely that anyone is
talking about Russell's assessment of the problem -- let alone his
suggestions for solving it. Achieving such a discussion is an
undertaking even more ambitious than it would first appear. For
scientists to consider the hypothesis, they will have to face its
author. And taking a hard look at Dr. Walter Russell may not be a
pill much easier for science to swallow in the 1990s than it was in
the 1930s.
This is not hard to understand. For one thing, in the eyes of
most scientists Russell always remained an artist -- a non-
scientist. Moreover, his work is not merely unconventional: it
overturns many of the cherished tenets of science.
But what makes Russell's work so difficult for mainstream
acceptance is that it spurns all divisions between physics and
metaphysics, and proposes a comprehensive, logical explanation for
God and atomic physics in the same breath. What are scientists to
make of a man who writes:
"What is Atomic Energy? In answering this question let it be
remembered that God is love, and that this universe is founded upon
love. Every action and its reaction in Nature must be in balance
with each other in order to carry out to the purposeful intent of
the Creator.
As we suggested earlier, those involved in macrobiotics may be
best positioned to understand the scope and practicality of
Russell's views, and thus to help break ground where established
scientists hesitate to tread. A pivotal question, then: how has
Russell fared in the macrobiotic world?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Walter Russell and The Macrobiotic Movement
Considering the sheer scope of his vision and his remarkably
practical understanding of the yin/yang principle, Russell would
seem to cry out for macrobiotic attention. In fact, many of his
most radical scientific positions have been echoed by the
macrobiotic science of Georges Ohsawa and Michio Kushi. For
example, Russell contended that matter is not held together by an
attracting force generated from the center of mass, but by
Page 9
compression generating from the outside toward the center. This
view, one of the Russell statements that flies most abruptly in the
face of accepted scientific tenets (and the one that got Dr.
Jackson's goat in 1930), is echoed precisely in Kushi's cosmology,
where conventional "gravity" is discarded in favor of centripetal
"Heaven's force.
Moreover, the Russells' application of the yin/yang principal
to physical entities, human relationships and the social order seems
extraordinarily direct and simple to grasp, and as such would seem a
valuable complement to the macrobiotic health/dietetic tradition.
While he did not proselytize any specific dietary regimen, he
was meticulous in his own personal habits. (For example, while he
maintained a prodigious work schedule, he carefully rotated projects
so that his focus changed to a different problem or medium every two
hours -- a rhythm known in macrobiotic circles as corresponding to
the energy cycle of acupuncture meridians.) To his strict adherence
to natural law he credited his legendary ability to work long hours
with ceaseless good humor and without fatigue -- quintessentially
macrobiotic ideals, which he maintained until his peaceful passing,
on his birthday, at the age of 92.
The following passages from his 1957 Atomic Suicide? shed some
light on Russell's views on diet and health:
"The blood is of first importance of all the elements which
compose the body. The nervous system could be entirely paralyzed
and the body would still function, but the blood has deep
instinctive awareness of its existence, and the body which does not
have a happy, rhythmic blood condition cannot possibly retain its
normalcy.
Even the food one eats should be 'happy.' It should be cooked
with love and eaten joyfully, and there should be a joyful
realization of love in one's deep breathing and exaltation during
the process of taking food into one's body. The food you eat
becomes blood and flesh of your body, and the manner in which you
eat it, and your mental attitude while eating it, decides your blood
count, the balance between acidity and alkalinity of your digestive
machinery, and your entire metabolism. Your Mind is you and your
body is the record of your thoughts and actions. Your body is what
your Mind electrically extends to it for recording.
Curiously, though, his work has elicited little recognition
even from within the nominal macrobiotic movement. This is a
significant loss for a community purporting to be ever on the
lookout for Western cultural and philosophical roots: for Dr.
Walter Russell may well represent the apex of what the West has to
offer in original macrobiotic thought.
Two notable exceptions to this record of macrobiotic neglect
have been the writings of Jerry Canty and the educational efforts of
Dr. Tim Binder. Canty -- a long-time student of the Russells and
himself a bit of a maverick even within the world of macrobiotics --
has drawn heavily on the Russells' work in his own books, The
Eternal Massage, The Sounding of the Sacred Conch, and the privately
issued Spiral, Lord of Creation. None of them has really entered
the "macrobiotic mainstream" (though The Eternal Massage enjoyed a
Page 10
fairly wide readership in the 1970s); they stand today as several of
the lesser known but most challenging and adventurous books in the
macrobiotic literature.
Binder, a naturopathic doctor whose client list includes John
Denver and other well-connected environmental advocates, has studied
and championed the Russell teachings along with macrobiotics, the
climate crisis/soil mineralization thesis of John Hamaker, and other
vital fields of perspective. Where Canty introduced Russell's
thinking to a venturesome circle of macrobiotic students a
generation ago, Binder is now emerging as the Russells' leading
contemporary standard-bearer.
Recently appointed president of the Russells' University of
Science and Philosophy in Swannanoa, Virginia, Binder has undertaken
the massive project of reintroducing Russell's revision of science.
Next month (June 2-4), Binder and the University host an
international symposium at Aspen, Colorado, entitled World Balance,
aimed at exposing the core of Russell's teaching and related
perspectives both to the larger scientific community and to the
public at large.
While his own interests naturally lean towards matters of human
health and diet, Dr. Binder has thrown the University's focus and
resources full-force into documenting and publicizing the possible
ozone-radiation link. For Binder recognizes the irony of the
situation: the imperative of the ozone crisis may provide the
opportunity at last for the world to reconsider the thinking it
rejected 60 years ago.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
In Pursuit of Evidence
As the centerpiece of this effort, Dr. Binder is coordinating a
thorough scientific effort to test, verify and document
radioactivity's role in ozone depletion. Combining an exhaustive
review of existing literature with new laboratory experimentation,
the project owes its impetus in part to Binder's frustrated efforts
to obtain accurate data from past observations.
Last year, to explore mainstream views on the possible
radiation-ozone connection, Binder visited the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Boulder, Colorado, where he
spoke with NOAA researcher George Mount. He was told, "Oh, yes, we
know that radiation destroys ozone, but we don't consider it
significant. Pressing further, Binder learned of an earlier
"insignificant" government finding: "during the bomb tests in the
60s [before the ban on atmospheric testing drove the detonations
underground] they found a 2 percent reduction in ozone [emphasis
ours].Ó Given the current alarm over a global reduction of 1.7 to 3
percent, 2 percent would certainly seem to us to be "significant.
Binder was told that a review of this data was in process; when
he later tried to obtain this information in print, he received
reports with figures that contradicted Mount's statements.
[Subsequently, we contacted Sherwood Rowland's office at the
University of California; Sherwood himself was out of the country,
but we spoke with one of his associates about the possible
Page 11
radiation-ozone connection. Offhand, he didn't see how radiation
would be likely to have this effect, though the hypothesis
apparently had never been suggested to him before.]
Commenting on his investigations, Binder offered this
conclusion: "As the government is now reviewing the old data on the
60s' testing, it sounds like they are reconsidering the nuclear
connection to ozone destruction, but don't want to tell [us] about
it yet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Beyond Ozone: The Human Factor
Shortly before her passing in May, 1988, we had the opportunity
to meet Mrs. Russell at her mountaintop home in Virginia. The
moment we met she looked directly at us and said, "I'm so glad
you've come. You know, we really must do something about this ozone
hole. The Doctor and I warned about this in 1954; nobody would
listen to us then. Now the situation is absolutely urgent.
Oddly, despite the dire nature of her subject, there was
nothing dark or gloomy in her words nor in her demeanor. Her
measured statements emerged in a melodious flow that was at once
precise and comfortable; they seemed uplifted by a quiet, unshakable
faith. We sensed a conviction that all events fall into their
natural time and place, with ultimate benefit for the whole.
Later that day, she addressed the assembled group: "There is
one central answer to all these terrible environmental problems, and
that is a change in the nature of human relationships. It was
impossible not to understand what she meant, and agree.
Thoroughly versed in her husband's cosmology and scientific
perspective, Lao Russell held that technical solutions alone, no
matter how cosmologically conceived, would not bring about the
changes so urgently needed. That change, she taught, would come
about only through the transformation of human beings, that we might
realize our awareness of the infinite Source, the Law of Balance,
and the Divine potential in ourselves and in each other. In a 1986
message to her students she wrote, "Only the power of Love put into
practice can put an end to all of the violence. Love will not come
into the world until mankind understands Who and What he is. When
he does understand, he will know that when he destroys another, he
is in truth destroying himself.
The modern bull in the stratospheric china shop, whatever its
identity may prove to be, is tearing holes in more than the ozone
and its underlying biological fabric. It has already begun to clear
away a stagnant web of parochial policies and human priorities.
Perhaps it will even have the force to open a gap in our staunchly
entrenched view of the world and our role within it.
The cloud over the ozone may yet reveal a silver lining. If it
succeeds in prompting a closer look at the heretical macrobiotic
science of Walter Russell, it may open a window to a two-way
universe -- a universe seen in an altogether different light.

WALTER RUSSEL ARTICLE: SIDEBARS
AN EARLY WARNING
August, 1954. "It will not take many years to utterly destroy
the . . . encircling protective walls which surround this planet and
protect the earth from burning up by the sun's hot rays."
Walter and Lao Russell,
Newsletter of the University of Science and Philosophy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
April 6, 1989. "Scientists reported yesterday that for the
first time they have detected an increase in "biologically relevant"
levels of ultraviolet radiation reaching the ground as a result of
the ozone hole over the Antarctica. This is the first indication
that the depletion of ozone. . . is beginning to cause the
potentially harmful effect that has long been predicted."
(Washington Post)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
A RIDDLE WRAPPED IN AN ENIGMA
In a way, the abrupt emergence of Russell's astonishing
hypothesis is in keeping with the peculiar tradition of the ozone
Page 1
story, a tale rife with riddles and ironies. "One of the most
striking features of the ozone controversy [is] the extent to which
'outsiders' played a crucial role in identifying the threats to the
ozone layer." (The Ozone War, page 11.)
It was James Lovelock, now famous as the author of the
controversial Gaia Hypothesis, who first found CFCs persisting in
the stratosphere. Making the historic measurement required an
ultra-sensitive device. Unable to obtain any funding for the
research (he was dismissed as a "crank"), Lovelock built the
delicate tool himself, using his family's "grocery money."
Ironically, Lovelock thought the chemicals might serve as
useful "tracers" for atmospheric study, and said they posed "no
conceivable hazard." "I boobed," Lovelock frankly admits. "It
turned out I was sitting on a time bomb." (The Ozone War, page 9.)
Sherry Rowland, who while on a "fishing trip for new ideas"
happened to hear early rumor of Lovelock's measurements at a
conference coffee klatch, was no more a part of mainstream ozone
research than Lovelock. In fact, he was not an atmospheric
scientist at all, but a chemist specializing in, of all things,
the chemistry of radio-isotopes. He and Molina, a young research
assistant fresh from receiving his PhD, never imagined that their
study would plunge them into the eye of a national cyclone of
controversy.
If Russell is right, and manmade nuclear reactions prove to be
at the root of stratospheric ills, then Sherry Rowland's involvement
provides one further irony: prior to his becoming interested in the
fluorocarbon work that led to the ozone finding, he was funded by
the Atomic Energy Commission. His area of research? -- the
chemistry of atoms produced in nuclear reactions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
RUSSELL THE ARTIST
The story of how Dr. Russell came to sculpt his famous bust of
Edison is an example of his legendary versatility. At the age of
fifty-six, Russell had been an accomplished painter, but had never
handled clay in his life. As President of the Society of Arts and
Sciences, he felt compelled to make good on a commission for the
bust, which a fellow artist had accepted but was unable to complete.
He promptly got some clay and wired Mrs. Edison that he would go and
do it himself -- akin to a great conductor suddenly picking up the
violin for an unrehearsed recital.
"It was a very unwise thing to do, perhaps, because with such a
great man as Edison as my subject, I might not have survived a
failure," he later remarked. "But I never let the thought of
failure enter my mind. . . .The inspired belief that I should do
this thing as a demonstration of my belief in man's unlimited power
made me ignore the difficulties that lay in the way. So I went to
Florida with a mass of clay, but on my way down, I spent the entire
time absorbed in inspirational meditation with the Universal Source
of all inspiration."
The resulting sculpture was to be one of the great mileposts in
his career; other commissions followed immediately, producing busts
Page 2
of Franklin Roosevelt, General Douglas MacArthur, Thomas Watson,
George Gershwin and Leopold Stokowski, and finally a twenty-eight
figure monument to Mark Twain and the famous "Four Freedoms.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
RUSSELL THE SOCIAL REFORMER
Founded 20 years earlier as an "ethical and moral movement to
bring culture, character and the Brotherhood of Man principle into
world human relations," the New York-based Twilight Club brought
together a network of such luminaries as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Mark
Twain, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Walt Whitman, Edwin Markham and Alexis
Carrell. (Alexis Carrell wrote Man The Unknown -- a perennial
favorite in macrobiotic circles -- during his association with
Russell and the Twilight Club.)
Russell's long collaboration with Thomas Watson, another
Twilight Club member and the founder of IBM, led to the introduction
of moral standards and ethical principles in the world of business.
In his first of many meetings and lectures for IBM personnel,
Russell said he was "shocked" with the "jungle philosophy of every
man for himself" that then permeated the business world, and he
effectively replaced the philosophy of "business is business" with
the concept "that equal interchange of goods and services between
buyer and seller is the keynote of tomorrow's business world." (The
Man Who Tapped the Secrets of the Universe, p. 24-25.)
During the Depression years when so many businesses failed, IBM
continued to thrive. When asked the secret of their success, Watson
replied, "Go talk with Walter Russell."
Abandoned during the WWII years, the Twilight Club was later
revived as the University of Science and Philosophy at Swannanoa,
Virginia. After Russell's passing in 1963, his work was carried on
at Swannanoa by Lao Russell, his co-equal partner in work as in
marriage.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
A LIVING AND DYING UNIVERSE
Walter Russell often asserted that God's universe "is a two-
way, not one-way universe." The death force or "winding down"
principle is familiar to us as the force of entropy, the famed
Second Law of Thermodynamics. The Law of Entropy states that all
systems gradually lose energy (that is, energy becomes less
organized and therefore unavailable to perform work) through
dispersal of heat; hence, the universe is destined to die a "heat
death."
Russell disagreed, and detailed the mechanics of an opposite,
balancing force -- the life-organizing force, which he also termed
"generoactive." This force is the answer to the riddle of Newton's
apple, to which Russell alludes in his 1930s Times letter. (Years
later, Buckminster Fuller coined the term "syntropy" to describe
entropy's complement.) Russell also likened these twin forces to
the charging and discharging of a battery, or the winding and
unwinding of a spring.
How rapidly or gradually a system unwinds after reaching
Page 3
maturity depends on a variety of factors, principally its degree of
balance within its local environment. Thus the relaxation and
dissolution of life may occur as slow fermentation, decay, a burst
of flame or an explosion.
"We do not say that a decaying tree, which takes fifty years to
go back into the ground, is exploding. If you burn it, however, the
flame is a series of quick explosions which will do in two hours
what Nature intended should take fifty years."
(Atomic Suicide?, page 23.)
Central to Russell's scientific conclusions is this
observation: the state of rest, the source from which all life
arises and to which it ultimately returns, is the "normal" state (to
which Russell often refers as God, Mind or Magnetic zero.) In other
words, it takes increasing effort to "wind up" into greater density
(to live), while it takes literally no effort at all, once a system
reaches maximum compression, to unwind again -- to die. Most
significantly, the force of the unwinding/death phase is
proportionate to the total effort expended in winding up to that
point.
For example, it may take many years of consuming steak and ice
cream, perhaps along with exposure to chemical contaminants, to
reach the condition disposing one to bowel cancer. The effort
expended by the individual, the food industry, the chemical
factories and even the cattle involved, are considerable; at the
point of maximum compression (when the body cannot hold itself
together any tighter) that mass of effort reverts into a forceful,
effortless unwinding. What goes in, must come back out.
To arrest the course of the disease at this point requires a
tremendous, renewed exertion of compression and life effort,
commonly observed as the "will to live" factor or, in macrobiotic
thought, as the capacity to self-reflect and change one's personal
habits.
In the case of human illness and dying, such a reversal through
renewed compression is often possible, just as it is possible to
arrest the burning of a tree with cold water, or to slow
fermentation with salt. It is not so easy to halt the unwinding
process of gunpowder, an electrical short-circuit -- or the decay of
radioactivity.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
THE SPIRAL OF ELEMENTS
As in the life of his contemporary Georges Ohsawa, the modern
founder of the macrobiotic movement, Russell was absorbed in his
later years with both the cosmic meaning and the immediate dangers
of atomic science. Also like his Oriental counterpart, Russell
vividly and brilliantly expressed his grasp of universal dynamics in
a spiral chart of the elements.
Russell's atomic charts placed all the atoms as points along
a continuous spectrum of increasing compression, much like the notes
of an ascending musical scale. The musical simile is not casual:
Russell's atomic scale is harmonically organized in octaves, with
the inert gases (helium, neon, argon etc.) acting as the "keynote"
Page 4
of each octave. (Not surprisingly, Dr. Russell was also an
accomplished composer.)
Russell held that the hydrogen octave, far from being the
beginning of the atomic scale, was in fact preceded by three
"inaudible" atomic octaves, yielding a full spectrum of nine
octaves. These first three octaves, involving wavelengths too vast
to measure, would be beyond the threshold of physical sensing (that
is, beyond detection by normal instruments of science). It was the
lack of this knowledge, Russell contended, and the misconception of
hydrogen as the first element that forced scientists to view
deuterium and tritium (which he had originally called Ethlogen and
Bebegen -- now well-known as components of the "heavy water" used in
today's nuclear reactions) as isotopes of hydrogen instead of true
tonal elements in their own right. ("Isotopes" might be compared to
the "accidentals" -- sharps and flats -- of single musical notes.)
On the other hand, he asserted, that many of the higher octave
"elements" in fact are but isotopes of higher-octave versions of
carbon.
Carbon, lying in the center of the fourth octave, is held to be
the balance point of perfect stability and the mature expression of
the entire spectrum, and as such serves as the basis for organic
life. Russell pointed out that roughly 98 percent of organic life
forms are composed of carbon and four other elements (hydrogen,
nitrogen, oxygen and silicon) which all are grouped together with
carbon in the fourth octave (except silicon, a transmutation of
carbon in the next octave up, which forms the basis of the Earth's
crust and of soil). In a sense, the "purpose" of the entire atomic
spectrum is to create carbon life forms.
The further one compresses past carbon, the more readily will
the pressure and heat of compression explode into decay. The
supercompressed elements of the 7th, 8th and especially 9th octaves
(radium, plutonium, etc.) are simmering at the breaking point --
hence the tremendously explosive pressures of the radioactive
metals.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
ENCOUNTERING THE RUSSELLS
On a quiet afternoon in 1979, I sat in a coffee shop preparing
my Kushi Institute lecture for that evening. As I sipped my coffee
-- I was allowed to, after all, I was a teacher -- I was interrupted
by two friends, both "senior" teachers. (This particular coffee
shop served as a hangout and meeting place for macrobiotic
teachers.) They joined me and began discussing the usual topic of
the day: How to get everyone else to eat macrobiotically so as to
establish one peaceful world. One of the seniors noticed my
recently acquired book, Dr. Walter Russell's The Secret of Light,
lying on the table beside me; and they asked me who Dr. Russell was
and what the book was about. After the first few sentences of my
reply, they both proceeded to criticize both the book and its author
for a good half hour.
In the Boston macrobiotic community where I lived at that time,
I soon learned, to mention the Russells and their work was like
admitting that you did not understand the unique principle of
macrobiotics. The philosophical and scientific works of the
Page 5
Russells were (and perhaps still are) considered unclear, confusing
and impractical. I, like my fellow students and teachers, certainly
did not want confusing or "foreign" philosophical ideas to disrupt
our established belief system concerning the nature of macrobiotics.
As far as we were concerned, the macrobiotic truth existed here, and
only here, in our little community. The sun flag was raised high,
and I was dedicated, loyal, stubborn and very confused. So, I laid
the Russells' work aside, along with all else that did not fit into
my small world of dogma.
Several years later, being a little older, not necessarily a
little wiser, but a whole lot more curious and frustrated with
apparent inconsistencies and impracticalities in my own
understanding of macrobiotics, I secretly began to explore the works
of Dr. and Mrs. Russell. At first I became more confused and found
myself resisting, especially when I read such bold statements as,
"Opposites do not attract," or "Like attracts like." Wait a minute,
I thought. Maybe my macrobiotic friends were right about Russell --
there do seem to be inconsistencies here. I soon discovered that
the inconsistencies I was encountering were not in their works, but
in the limitations of my own prior understanding. Gradually a new
comprehension began to open up.
Their words penetrated deep into my soul. They were honest
words, words of wisdom, of love, and they were steeped in the
unifying principle of macrobiotics. Their expression was extremely
clear and to the point. The message was practical and not at all
confusing. There was nothing there to instill guilt or fear.
They spoke of the difference between knowing and thinking, and
how we all know all there is to know, yet do not always admit it to
ourselves. Dr. Russell was a perfect example of one who knew. He
had very little formal education, and used this to his advantage.
Through inspiration he became an accomplished scientist,
philosopher, artist, sculptor and musician.
They spoke of how we as human beings can reinspire others, yet
can only be inspired by the One. And most of all, for me, they
explained the mechanism and process of the logarithmic spiral -- the
foundation of macrobiotics. The more I absorbed their
understanding, the more it seemed to add to rather than detract from
or conflict with my prior macrobiotic learning.
Through the years that followed I began to incorporate their
understanding of macrobiotics into my own teaching and counselling,
always with the thought that I would meet Mrs. Russell some day.
For the past eight years I traveled throughout the United States,
teaching and encouraging people to study the Russells' works, and
giving out the address of the University of Science and Philosophy.
During this period I had not once contacted the University to
introduce myself. Why? I have no idea. In 1987 I moved to
Charlottesville, Virginia from New York. Why? I have no idea,
other than it seemed to be the proper move for me. I soon learned
that the University of Science and Philosophy was only a twenty
minute drive away.
I called the University and introduced myself, and said I would
like to meet Mrs. Russell; I was given an appointment. Days later,
I drove out to Swannanoa with John Mann, who had recently relocated
Page 6
Solstice from upstate New York to Charlottesville. [Editor's Note:
Why had we abruptly relocated? We had no idea.] Arriving at the
requested time, I introduced myself to the staff and they said they
would inform Mrs. Russell that I was there. I stood among a group
of approximately twenty other visitors and watched as the most
elegant lady I have ever met began to descend the carpeted stairs.
We had never met, yet she recognized me in the crowd
immediately, and invited me upstairs. As we sat, she proceeded to
tell me my life story in detail, from the beginning to the present.
She spoke as if she knew me when I was a child. She did! And that
wasn't all she knew -- for she, too, was a living example of her and
her late husband's philosophy.
We spoke for a few hours on many subjects. She told humorous
stories about Dr. Russell and herself as if he were still alive.
"He is!" she said, "You can never die!" She spoke with a simple,
quiet conviction that was utterly disarming, and I felt as if I were
in the presence of honesty incarnate. Meeting Mrs. Russell was an
experience I will cherish forever.
-- Steve GagnŽ
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Editor's Note: Mrs. Russell was a perceptive person. Early in
our conversation, she looked straight at us again and said, "This
started in 1954." She was referring to the '54 University
Newsletter, no doubt; but she spoke so emphatically, Steve and I
could not help glancing at each other -- could she have known that
we were both born in 1954? She smiled. Later, she abruptly turned
to us and nonchalantly commented, "You know, Dr. Russell never
smoked cigarettes or drank coffee." Bingo, I thought. -- Ed.

SEICHE.ASC

This is from FATE magazine - November 1962 - page 8
--------------------------------------------------------------------
In the regular column, I See by The Papers, the following article
was found.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Mystery of the Seiche
People who live on the shores of Lake Michigan are more or less
familiar with seiches and have been led to believe that the seiche
is caused by a change in air pressure.
To persons living elsewhere, let us explain that during a seiche
(pronounced saysh) the water levels along the lake shore change
rapidly and markedly. This past spring, the water in Belmont
Harbor, Chicago, rose three feet, then dropped 9 1/2 feet, exposing
the bottom - all within a few minutes. In 1954 the water suddenly
rose 10 feet in Montrose Harbor, Chicago, and drowned eight people.
The seiche comes without warning; it generally cannot be seen
approaching. It is not a tidal wave and often is no wave at all.
It has been likened to water sloshing back and forth in a lake.
Furthermore, it occurs only in a few places in the world - the Great
Lakes, Lake Geneva, Loch Earn in Scotland and Lake Vattern in
Sweden.
With all the glib explanation though, we want to tell you something.
No one really understands what makes a seiche; in fact no one is
even sure just where the name comes from.

Another Snow Job
from Nature Jan. 89' with Vangard comments
No two snowflakes are alike. That's a "bit of folk wisdom that is
generally accepted even among those few regarded as experts in the
subject," says Nancy Knight, a researcher at the National Center for
Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado.
So much for folk wisdom. As part of a study of cirrus clouds for
NASA, Knight found two crystals with IDENTICAL STRUCTURES. During a
research flight into a Wisconsin snowstorm, she collected some
snowflakes on a glass slide coated with oil.
MORE THAN A YEAR LATER she re-examined the photos of the flakes and
noted the similarity. Not only that, the shape of the crystals -
which have thick asymmetrical hollow columns in the center - is
unlike anything she's observed before or found in the literature.
She reported her findings in the May Bulletin of the American
Meteorological Society. With the coming of colder weather, interest
in her findings has been, well, snowballing.
Crystals such as Knight found begin as solid hexagonal prisms and,
due to the effects of temperature, humidity and fall rate, develop
hollows in their centers. That happens because growth on a
crystal's face is faster on the edges than at the center.
Past observations have shown that the hollows are symmetrical on
both ends of the crystal. The hollows Knight found are not,
suggesting that the crystals DID NOT FALL HORIZONTALLY, as usual,
BUT VERTICALLY.
The old folk wisdom may still have a basis, Knight said. It's
possible that at the MOLECULAR level no two snowflakes are alike.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Vangard comments...
Vibrating waveplates or surfaces take on geometric forms
dependent on the interferences which occur between the
wavefronts. These were discovered and investigated by Ernst
Chladni and later researched by Dr. Hans Jenny.
A sonic field of any complexity (determined by the number of
frequencies involved) can be projected into the air, as indeed
happens with speakers in our stereo systems.
In 1926, Dr. Henri Coanda discovered a wall-attachment phenomenon
now known as the Coanda effect. Whenever a jet flows into a body
of stagnant fluid, it entrains some of the surrounding stagnant
Page 1
fluid and starts it into motion. As the fluid is ejected,
replenishing air moves into the evacuated region to create a
pressure differential. The pressure in this region is at a high
vacuum (very cold area) which is utilized as a basis for the
machines which create "snow".
Now, if at the formation nozzle of the snow machine, we were to
project an intense sonic field having a specific geometric form,
all snowflakes formed at that location would be identical, since
they are all formed in the same controlling field.
An interesting idea since each snowflake is a crystal. If all
the crystals were "tuned" in such a manner, then we would form a
giant crystal which might have unusual and "tuneable" properties.
Of course, these properties would be wholly dependent on the
geometry of the snowflakes. In the case of Ms. Knights'
identical snowflakes, we find it of interest that they were not
examined for a period in excess of one year.
Were they the same when originally captured on the oil slide? Is
it not possible that one snowflake was vibrating at one frequency
and at high amplitude while in the presence of another snowflake
which was vibrating at a lower amplitude and a DIFFERENT
FREQUENCY?
In such a case, the weaker snowflake would be "entrained" or
forced to vibrate at the more powerful frequency which, over
time (one year), would cause a definite transmutation into a copy
of the stronger sonic field.
The natural formation of snowflakes then leads us to a possible
new technique for monitoring subtle energies, whether acoustic,
magnetic or electric. Using a machine like a Coanda driven snow
generator, we could project Radionic, homeopathic, acoustic or
other types of complex energy forms to see the results as encoded
in matter.
We would then see a 2 dimensional Mandala representative of the
3 dimensional form. When "replayed" it would again generate a 3
dimensional matrix identical to the original.

The Ocean's Sound Barrier
A mysterious carpet, about 300 feet thick, believed to consist of
a cornucopeia of sea-life, comes out only during the daylight
hours to become the sea's "false bottom."
This "false bottom" was discovered by Navy ships making depth
soundings during the war. The soundings are derived from the time
it takes for echoes to be reflected to the surface from the ocean
floor. The returning echoes are then recorded on instruments
which give a very precise map, within inches, of the depth at a
specific location.
By using certain wavelengths of sound, echoes were received from
depths between 1,000 and 1,500 feet. The odd thing is that the
ocean bottom in the locations being scanned were known to be two
to three miles deep.
The most plausible explanation was that there were vast quantities
of floating or swimming objects, constituting almost a solid
surface at the depths from which the echoes came.
The false bottom ONLY begins at daylight and exists throughout the
day to disappear at twilight.
The false bottom carpet covers all oceans, even the Antarctic.
Echoes taken over miles of ocean floor show the carpet to be
practically continuous over thousands of square miles.
General agreement among Naval navigators is that the carpet is
made up of hordes of sea creatures.
However, they have not proved observable by any known technique.
The wavelengths of the sound waves which echo back give an idea of
the size and abundance of the masses which seem to make up the
carpet. Calculations show from ten to twenty of these organisms
in each cubic meter of water.
The creatures or whatever makes up the carpet echoes ONLY long
sound waves, while high frequency sounds pass through them like
light through glass and is bounced back from the sea bottom.
The constituents of the carpet apparently cannot stand light since
at dawn they sink from within about 100 feet of the surface to
levels below the penetration of the light.
The false bottom rises at sunset at a measured rate of forty to
fifty fe t a minute. No swimming fish could rise so rapidly
through the decreasing pressure without suffering the "bends".
Page 1
A wide spectrum of sound wavelengths has been used in attempting
to analyze the phenomenon. Sophisticated modern equipment using
hydrophones has recorded echoes from individual objects at
distances of a few feet.
These new observations show the carpet to consist of a bunch of
"somethings" ranging from a foot to eighteen inches. Too large to
be a squid and far too large to be shrimp.
Based on such data, the carpet is believed to consist of deep
water fish. If this is true, then there might be a food source
beyond man's wildest dreams in our oceans.
Navy divers have swum directly through the false bottom at night
when it was within less than 200 feet of the surface.
Direct observation shows enormous numbers of euphasids and other
SMALL organisms, but very few fish.
The texture of the carpet is believed to change radically from
night (loosely packed) to day (tightly packed) based on the
dispersal of the organisms over wide areas of surface waters as
determined by the photic or thermal energies present.
The entire phenomenon is quite mysterious and brings up many
different theories. Water temperatures could cause a laminar or
turbulent flow, some form of water structuring which would form
temporary colloids, maybe a point of anomaly (4 degrees
centigrade) which might constitute a world brain consisting of
structured water, or other interesting possibilities.
The Navy divers saw almost nothing which could account for such a
wide and relatively unbroken echo pattern.

CROP DUSTING
The wasteful drift of aerial crop dusting chemicals beyond target
areas has long been a matter that was heightening environmental
concerns and was becoming ever more expensive as chemical costs
increase.
A decade-long program of research on agricultural aviation,
conducted by Langley Research Center, focused on investigations
designed to help the aerial crop dusting and spraying industry solve
this major problem of drift.
Langley's investigations involved studies of aircraft wake and
how the wake affects chemical dispersal patterns; the aim was to
identify modifications to airplanes or to dispersal equipment to
allow more accurate, more uniform spray patterns.
From this research came an important aid to aerial applicators
and equipment designers, a computer code called AGDISP (for
Agricultural Dispersal) that allows accurate spray and drift
predictions. Jointly funded by NASA and the Forest Service of the
Department of Agriculture, AGDISP was written for Langley by
Continuum Dynamics, Inc., Princeton, New Jersey.
Continuum Dynamics has since advanced the technology another step
by developing, with company funds, a commercially available version
of the code for use on a personal computer by an operator who need
not have any prior computer experience.
Called SWA-H (Spray Width for Airplanes Plus Helicopters), the
software models the turbulent flow behind an agricultural aircraft
and predicts the motion of materials released from spray nozzles,
taking into consideration airplane, atmospheric, material and nozzle
characteristics.
The printer output provides detailed information on the
concentrations and motions of the spray cloud, including an estimate
of drift. The user may then change certain factors---such as spray
height or nozzle position---to achieve the desired swath width and
application concentration while minimizing drift.

JD>Marc,
> An absorbtion chiller is an absorbtion cooling unit that is used to make
cold water. The water ("chilled") is then pumped around the building to
what amounts to radiator units to provide environmental cooling. As in
Air Conditioning.
JD > The chiller operates on the same principle as a kerosene or gas-powered
refrigerator, using heat to make cold. I've studied the damn diagrams,
and never really did understand exactly how they work, even though a
compressor-type is nearly second nature. Someone else here is sure to
help out with that.
Back in my younger days, I was stationed on a submarine. The primary air
conditioning plant for the submarine was an absorbtion type machine.
Pretty simple actually, the interior of the unit was purged of any non-
condensable gases and very low vacuum was established (close to 0.00 mm of
mercury as possible). At this low vacuum water will actually boil at close to
32 degrees fahrenheit.
A fresh water system (called chill water) was used to "transport" the cold to
the ship. The returning "hot" water ran through a heat exchanger inside the
air conditioner where heat was transferred to the water that existed in the
low pressure environment. The water boiled and the resulting steam or water
vapor or whatever was absorbed by a strong concentration of lithium bromide (a
salt).
The diluted lithium bromide concentration went to a different section of the
air conditioning, was heated by steam thus reconcentrating the lithium
bromide. The water driven off by that second heating was condensed by a
seawater heat exchanger. The resulting condensed fresh water was reused to
cool the chill water water. The process is similar for refrigerators that use
a heat source, rather than a compressor.
Most use a mixture of hydrogen and ammonia, but the process is very similar to
the method I described above. They certainly are quiet and don't inherently
require electricity. Don't know about efficiency, though. The air
conditioner on the submarine was rated for 200 tons of air conditioning,
whereas a refrigerator is something on the order of 1 ton.
As always the standard disclaimers apply. Happy energy transferring.

SOIL SURVEYS
Accurate soil surveys are necessary for soil conservation
measures, determining building sites, selecting park locations,
siting sewage plants and a variety of other reasons.
The traditional method of surveying requires auger boring into the
ground to obtain subsurface soil samples for classification, a slow
and fatiguing process since a typical survey might require hundreds
of depth measurements.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Soil Conservation Service
(SCS) is now employing an easier and faster method, developed in
cooperation with NASA, that involves use of ground penetrating radar
to produce subsurface graphs for interpretation by soil scientists.
The radar antenna is pulled by a four-wheel-drive vehicle along a
transect line, a straight line across the surface where normally
many borings would be made.
As it moves along the transect line at about five miles per hour,
the antenna transmits radio waves downward that are reflected back
to the antenna when they strike layers--soil, rock, water, man-made
objects--of different electromagnetic properties.
The antenna relays the reflected pulses to a graphic recorder
mounted in the vehicle. The system analyzes the data and produces
images on the recorder of subsurface "interfaces", areas where two
different types of features meet.
Soil scientists examine the recorder's printout. The information
does not entirely eliminate the need to dig holes, but only a few
are required to double-check the radar's findings.
The radar can penetrate to depths of seven to eight feet
routinely; in some types of soil it can reach 30 feet or more.

Ice Cores From Tibet Suggests Last 50 Years Warmest in
10,000
By DONALD J. FREDERICK, National Geographic
For AP Special Features, May 21, 1993
Braving frigid blasts and bouts of altitude sickness, scientists
are drilling for ancient ice in some of the world's most
inhospitable places.
The ice cores they are extracting from Greenland, Antarctica and
the lofty Tibetan Plateau will contain records of changes in Earth's
climate over hundreds of thousands of years. The cores also should
help answer questions about global warming.
Eventually, snows that fell as long as a million years ago may be
analyzed to see what the climate was like then.
More than 28,000 feet of ice cores from various depths and
locations are stored in 3.3-foot-long aluminum cylinders at the
National Ice Core Laboratory in Denver, Colo., a facility run by the
U.S. Geological Survey, the National Science Foundation and the
University of Colorado. Instrumentation at the repository gives
visiting scientists an opportunity to examine the cores.
"Hopefully we'll go back about 250,000 years with the cores now
being collected in Greenland," says Joan Fitzpatrick, technical
director of the laboratory. "Ice is the only medium that enables us
to get such a detailed record of the climate for such long periods."
Some experts believe that increased levels of greenhouse gases
such as carbon dioxide are producing a dangerous global warming
trend. Others argue that the higher temperatures occur because of
natural climatic variations over long periods of time. The ice cores
could help resolve the debate.
Working at altitudes as high as 21,000 feet, a Chinese-American
scientific team has been extracting cores from ice caps on the
remote Tibetan Plateau.
Evidence from some of the ice indicates that temperatures in
Central Asia have been warmer in the past 50 years than at any other
time since the end of the last ice age 10,000 years ago, says Lonnie
Page 1
Thompson, leader of the U.S. group.
Thompson, whose work in China has been supported by the National
Geographic Society, sees similar trends in other parts of the world.
Since 1963, more than 43 percent of the ice on Tanzania's Mount
Kenya has disappeared. Glaciers are also vanishing in the Andes,
where Thompson is taking ice cores.

VDT Radiation Danger
Summ: D. Lauffer
The New Yorker recently ran a series of articles under the
heading of "The Annals of Radiation" by Paul Brodeur. They
covered research and the industry responses to possible dangers
from a variety of radiation sources. The articles covered power
lines, microwave sources and Video Display Terminals. Brodeur
relies heavily on the work of several epidemiologists,
microbiologists and the maverick, Louis Slesin, editor of the
Microwave News and the VDT News. The VDT article appeared in the
6-26-89 issue of the New Yorker (an issue with skateboarders on
the cover if you are looking in the local library). Since I do
not have training in either medicine or electrical engineering, I
am only offering a very brief, uncritical summary of the VDT
article.
Brodeur points out that the groups most likely to fund
research into radiation dangers are the military and computer and
electronics manufacturers. All of these have a vested interest in
downplaying health hazards associated with regular use of VDTs
both by the public and by their own personnel. The medium most
likely to spread detailled information about hazards would be the
newspapers, who have reporters, editors and clerks who take
classified ads all of whom might hold them responsible for health
risks. The Columbia Journalism Review has documented the lack of
coverage by the press in articles in 1981 and 1984. Additionally,
there is documentation that NIOSH and the FDA have been lax in
pursuing problems in this area, even though they had announced
studies of the problem.
The major hazards no longer involve the X-Rays which had
been emitted by the CRTs and consumer TVs in the past. They seem
to lie in the magnetic radiation emitted by transformers
associated with the changing image on the VDT. Epidemiologists
have noted high incidence of miscarriages among VDT operators.
This seems to correspond to research on Extra Low Frequency
radiation (ELF) and Very Low Frequency radiation (VLF) which are
emitted by components such as the fly-back transformer in the
VDT. These components are often near the outside of the device,
and are even more likely to send radiation to the sides or to the
back of the terminal.
Embroylogy research on chickens by Delgado, who has taught
at Yale, indicated that serious changes were caused in early
development by 100Hz magnetic radiation. The results were
confirmed in a Swedish study, which led to banning VDTs which are
not shielded for VLF in Sweden as of 1988. IBM now markets a VDT
(only available in Scandinavian Countries) which meets VLF
guidelines. Other research has found that as little as 15 minutes
of exposure to ELF accelerates DNA/RNA transfer in insects. This
would indicate a potential for problems in fetal development for
early stage pregnant women who work at VDTs.
An additional area of problems is the role of magnetic
fields in these ranges in the increased incidence of childhood
cancer. These are usually associated with power lines near
residences. Epidemiologists have also noted increased incidence
of cancer in adult VDT operators.
Recommendations
When VLF-shielded terminals become available, these should be
given strong consideration for new purchases and
replacements.
When ELF-shielded terminals become available, these should be
also given strong consideration for new purchases and
replacements. These will require transformer shielding in Mu-
metal.
This is not a problem with liquid crystal displays LCD, such
as are found in Laptop Computers.
With the present generation of equipment you should sit 28
inches in front, and about 40 inches away from any other
terminal.
Waiver of responsibilty
I am still not sure that I understand all this material, and
I am in no position to critique the positions taken. However,
I'd rather be aware of the possibilities and and be conservative
in my approach to my own safety. If this is like other lengthy
articles in the New Yorker, it should be published in book form
shortly. It will be very interesting to see what sort of
reception the wider dissemination of these ideas gets, both from
the industry and the press.

The Vortex Gun
Dr. Phillips Thomas, research engineer of the Westinghouse Electric &
Manufacturing Company, picked up what appeared to be a small copper and
brass drum with an aperture some two inches in diameter in its head. By
means of a tubular peep sight affixed to the top of the drum, he aimed
the aperture at one of a row of lighted candles about ten feet away, and
then tapped the back of the drum with a rubber hammer.
Instantly the candle was extinguished. He repeated the performance
half a dozen times, and each time the striking of the metal drum was
followed by the extinguishing of a candle. He pointed the aperture at a
gong, tapped the drum, and the gong rang. In each case, it was as
though an unseen projectile had been fired from the strange device.
These seemingly miraculous feats were accomplished by an invisible
ring of air, a smoke ring without the smoke, shot from the aperture by
the force with which Dr. Thomas struck the back of the drum. Called a
VORTEX GUN (remember the WHIRLWIND CANNONS of the Germans during
WWII...Vangard), and designed on the basis of elaborate mathematical
calculations by Westhinghouse scientists, this device embodies the first
practical application of the well-known principle of vortex motion.
Good examples of this motion are the common smoke ring which almost
all smokers can blow, and the funnel-shaped twister cloud familiar to
anyone who has lived in the tornado and cyclone belts of the Middle
West.
The twister, however, is ONLY HALF OF A VORTEX, it moves only if a
wind is blowing, and always travels at right angles to the ground.
A smoke ring, which is a true VORTEX RING, will move in any
direction, according to the initial impulse, and owing to the vortex
motion, the smoke will remain in the ring as long as it is moving.
THE MORE RAPID THE MOTION, THE FARTHER THE RING WILL GO BEFORE
BREAKING UP.
The rings or miniature whirlwinds shot from the vortex gun conform to
the behavior pattern of the smoke ring as blown from the mouth. Their
size and velocity, and the distance traveled, depend upon the dimensions
of the gun and the force with which it is struck. They are always
invisible unless smoke or some other visible substance is put into the
gun.
Westhinghouse engineers have constructed experimental vortex guns in
two sizes. The hand model, demonstrated by Dr. Thomas as part of the
equipment of a traveling laboratory with which he has been touring the
country, is about eight inches in diameter.
It shoots a vortex ring with a diameter of from two to three inches.
which travels at a speed of 20 feet per second. The ring carries so
much force that the impact can be felt at about 25 feet.

WASTE1.ASC
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Microwaves for Toxic Waste Treatment
IIT Research Institute in Chicago has developed a process which can
literally cook toxic waste right out of soil. The soil is heated to
temperatures as high as 350 degrees F.
Tests carried out at a Madison, Wisconsin Air Force base showed that
almost 99 percent of the jet fuel, chlorinated hydrocarbons and
waste oils in 30 tons of contaminated soil were successfully
removed.
Tubular electrodes are inserted to a depth of six feet in a waste
containment area or laid across the top of the area.
The soil is heated up when the electrodes are excited by radio-
frequency energy. The process is similar to the heating within a
microwave oven except that this process uses much lower frequencies.
During the cooking process, water and hazardous components contained
in the soil are rapidly evaporated. These vapors are collected and
condensed by being passed through a bed of activated charcoal which
is then removed from the site.
The system is said to be able to clean up a polluted site for one
third to one half the cost of current cleanup processes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Vangard note...
We understand that a process of purifying water has been
developed in Virginia which uses EXTREMELY HIGH VOLTAGE pulses.
As we understand it, the charges cause the water to rapidly
polarize and drop any contaminants in the process. You could
call it "electro-stricture".
We have also heard that the water has health restoring
properties. One of the stories about the water had to do with a
dog very infected with mange.
The great majority of the dog's hair had fallen out and the
animal was sickly to boot. Bathing the dog in this water as well
as feeding it the water caused the hair to grow back, the mange
disappeared and the animal completely recovered.
Page 1
Another indication was that it might have rejuvenation abilities.
We have no further information beyond these little tidbits at
this time, although we understand the man has a patent and a
large working machine currently stored in a warehouse. He needs
about $30,000 ? to get the working machine released.
It is possible that the water structure is somehow changed to
allow a higher electrical charge accumulation (zeta potential)
through increasing the effective surface area (as in colloids).
We will add further information to this file as it comes in.

I would like any input on anyone who has information on using magnets for
water treatment. I visited a swimming pool where the owner claims that his
hardness and alkalinity problems were solved by the installation of a
magnet around the water line going to the showers in the bathhouse and
into the swimming pool. I have read that studies on magnets have shown
that they align the charge on ions in water. For wastewater studies, this
would be a benefit were a person using an UV light after a sand filter.
Before wastewater is processed through a UV light, the magnet could
decrease the amount of hardness and scaling in the UV reactor (i.e. the
teflon tube or quartz tube) Has anyone ever tried this before? I am
thinking of trying it, but I would like to obtain research funds to try
it? Can anyone help me on this ? Scaling could cause a buildup on the
exterior of a quartz tube or on the interior of a teflon tube which would
decrease the efficiency of the UV light. Magnet researchers make other
fabulous claims also, such as the strength of the magnet would have a
positive effect on the decrease of pathogenic material which would make
them easier to kill under a UV light ? Believe it or not ? Baloney or
remarkably true ( can I get this to be on UNSOLVED MYSTERIES on NBC ?)
Anyway, in all seriousness, please leave a message for me on this BBS if
you care to comment.

I am currently considering adding onto a single resident sewage treatment
plant that I am building soon (when my regulatory agency approves the
permits) the use of a UV light as the primary disinfectant device.
Although I am worried about the build up of the scale and other debris on
the teflon tube over many years, I am going to use magnets to keep the
scale off. A large swimming pool nearby used a 11,000 gauss strength
Page 1
magent on the water main leading into his showers. After installation of
the magnets, the build up of scale decreased significantly. I am hoping
that the same will occur on the UV light that I am planning to use. I am
planning to use a Model 12L from Northland Technologies.
Anyone who has used this light for disinfection after a buried sand filter
should kindly leave a note of their own personal experiences with it.
Also, written research exists about the strength of magnets on water
treatment. I will be installing one between my septic tank and my dosing
tank which feeds wastewater into the buried sand filter. Maybe this will
assist with the activity level of the positive and negatively charged
particles entering into the sand filter. Separating the two charges out
before the sand filter may help the sand filter work better. (note: I am
using three 500 gallon septic tanks - the magnet will be in place on the
last septic tank) Anyway, this all may seem crazy, but I will keep
everyone informed. . .

Some time ago I requested information on using magnets for wastewater
treatment. I was installing a new septic system for my home and I was
looking for ways to increase the efficiency of this proposed system. The
system has been installed since 11/91.
The system consists of 3 septic tanks, a dosing chamber with a sewage
pump, a sand filter, and a UV light which leads into an 810 foot discharge
line. Magnets were placed before the third septic tank. The third septic
tank also contains a ZABEL filter which helps reduce the solids going on
the sand filter. Magnets were also placed before and after the dosing
chamber. A magnet was also placed before the UV light. The results of the
first test as required on my NPDES permit are:
CBOD = 2 mg/l
Suspended Solids = 6 mg/l
ph = 7
fecal coliform = or < 10 colonies/100 ml of sample.
I am really pleased with the results of my test since they are about 85%
to 90% below the lower limits set for my effluents on my NPDES permits. I
give credit to my success partially to the magnets because I do think they
help reduce the solids and keep the UV reactor chamber clean so that the
UV light works properly. I will be asking how other systems which are
somewhat comparable to mine are doing. I would reccommend magnets to any
person or desinger because I do beleive they help reduce solids and they
maximize the amount of settling of solids in the septic tanks. The other
part of my system I would like to comment on is the UV light. It has
worked wonderfully. Compared to using chlorine tablets, it is more
effective, cheaper to operate, and nontoxic to the receiving stream which
carries away my wastewater. However, if anyone wants to use one, I would
suggest they overcompensate the flow on a UV light to allow for greater
kill of pathogens in the effluent coming from the sand filter. Another
nice thing about the UV light is that it is much more convient for the
homeowner. The homeowner never has to keep checking on the chlorine
tablets which can sometimes bridge up in the tablet chlorinator. Please

Do you have any control data from the system obtained before you installed
the magnets? If so how does the data compare to the present setup? Why do
you feel the magnets are contributing to a lower solids loss in the
effluent? Why do you feel they contribute to a lower solids buildup on the
UV chamber walls? I'm interested in your results but still very skeptical.
I remember some salesman trying to sell these things for the fuel lines of
my furnace to " polarize " the molecules of fuel for a more efficient burn
but he could not supply any backup to his claims beyond presenting a vague
theory.

My answers to your questions are as follows:
1. Control Data consists of comparing similiar systems installed without
any magnets. These systems have a variable difference of 5 to 10
percent increase in solids over what my results are coming out with.
2. The electromagnetic field initiates a charge (note that the charge is
somewhat weak) on the effluent. The charge lines up all negative and
positive charges in a fashion that slows down the ongoing movement
between negative and positive charges in the various elements in the
effluent. Scaling on the reactor wall of the UV chamber takes place
because the reactor wall itself has charges on it which attract
minerals with opposite charges which leads to scaling which in turn
leads to the UV light from penetrating the effluent. Also, the
magnets I used were also placed on the septic tanks. The "lining up"
of charges in a large tank also contributes to increased flocullation
in the tank because the charges placed upon the effluent are only
small and somewhat temporary, BUT this temporary charge effect allows
all "unline charges" in the septic tank to cluster around the "lined
charges" which in turn leads to increased flocullation or clumping of
solids coming together.
This summer I was inspected by a PADER Inspector who is doing a summer
study on single resident sewage treatment plants. Her data being collected
on these systems seem to indicate that this addition of magnets seems to
assist in better performance of this single resident sewage treatment
plant. Her data has not all been collected yet. She will have a report
which will be done at the end of the summer.
You may think this is a vague theory, yet I was introduced to this concept
of magnetics and sewage through a few scientific journals devoted to the
study of electromagnetism. A friend of mine is a magnet hobbyist, and he
gave me the address of a man in Minnesasota who has all kinds of
information about magnets. I wrote to him about magnets and sewage, and
Page 3
his reponse was to send an article from a scientific journal which is
published in Germany. This journal (I can't give you the name of it
because it is in German) discussed research done on water treatment in
Russia. All of the concepts I have discussed here in this reply to you
were in this article.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I WAS VERY SKEPTICAL TOO..YET IT DOES SEEM TO WORK !!
How effiently it works is another question. If I had the resources, it
would be insteresting to note what effect would take place if one could
vary the strength of the electromagnetic charge..More Research needs to be
done. I hope this interests you.

I would like to know if anyone has any experience with the addition of
commercially prepared bacteria used for assisting the digestion of sludge
in septic tank effluent. Doews it help at all in making the system work
better ? Also, I have a sand filter for filtering the septage. Will this
bacteria assist in establing a better culture of benefical bacteria which
will break down the wastewater components better ? Thanks for your help
and comments.

ARE SOVIETS FOOLING WITH MOTHER NATURE?
[Merry-go-round]
Jack Anderson & Dale Van Atta
LENNINGRAD, USSR -- The Soviet Union could launch a "weather war"
against the United States and, because of the whimsy of weather
patterns, Americans wouldn't even know it.
The notion sounds like fantasy, but scientists say it is true, The
Soviets are not the only ones meddling with Mother Nature. They are
so afraid of the American's capability to wage war with the weather
that they quietly signed a treaty with the United States some years
ago that banned hostile manipulation of the weather. The trouble
with the treaty is that it is totally unverifiable.
For the record, no U.S. intelligence agency has any evidence that
the Soviets are engaged in even minor skirmishes using the weather.
The only country that has ever used weather as a weapon is the
United States.
From 1967 to 1972, the Pentagon conducted a $21.6 million rainmaking
operation designed to make the Ho Chi Mihh Trail slippery. Mistakes
were made. Once, seven inches of rain was dumped on an American
Special Forces camp in two hours. It is possible that the American
cloud seeding compounded a deluge in August 1971 in north Vietnam
that resulted in flooding that killed thousands of people.
We have reviewed a dozen secret Central Intelligence Agency reports
about Soviet weather modification research done in the last three
decades. The research is conducted at the "Hydrometerological
Institute" in Lenningrad and is a network of more than 100 similar
institutes. Almost all of the Soviet research has a quasi-legitimate
agricultural use, but the CIA is well aware that the same techniques
could be used to deliberately disrupt the climate of other
countries.
Page 1
The Soviets have always believed that bigger is better, and that is
reflected in their grandiose weather plans, including a scheme to
melt the Arctic ice and moderate temperatures in the northern Soviet
republics. One civilian Soviet scientist told the CIA that he knew
of as many as 300 secret weather modification experiments done in
the Arctic.
One plan, by engineer P.M. Borisov, that was mercifully never
carried out, was to pump water from the Atlantic Ocean to the Arctic
Ocean. Borisov believed that all the ice in the Arctic Ocean could
be melted within three years, never to return again. Part of his
blueprint was to throw a dam across the Bering Strait.
The complaints of more level headed scientists dampened Soviet
enthusiasm for the Borisov scheme.
Temporarily, the Soviets have settled for melting icepacks across
huge areas of their country by covering them with one black
substance or another to draw the sun.
The Soviets are proficient in seeding clouds to meddle with the
amount of type of precipitation, but they aren't content to use the
standard seeding method of dropping chemicals from airplanes. They
use rockets shot from the ground.
"The use of aircraft was judged to be inadequate and anti-aircraft
artillery shells and rockets were developed for this purpose," says
one CIA report. "Possible danger to the local population area does
not seem to concern the Soviets greatly. They claim that the shells
fragment completely and it is rare to find a piece as large as one
gram on the ground. The danger of the rockets is minimized by the
use of parachutes and the rocket sites are established in relatively
unpopulated areas."
Another long-held Soviet dream is to be able to divert their rivers
that now flow north into the Arctic Ocean south so the water can
irrigate Soviet argricultural regions. The loss of water in the
Arctic could change weather patterns the world over.
