Messages In Water – Masaru Emoto

Masaru Emoto

(江本勝, Emoto Masaru?, born July 22, 1943) is a Japanese author and entrepreneur known for his claim that if human speech or thoughts are directed at water droplets before they are frozen, images of the resulting water crystals will be “beautiful” or “ugly” depending upon whether the words or thoughts were positive or negative. Emoto claims this can be achieved through prayer, music or by attaching written words to a container of water.

Since 1999 Emoto has published several volumes of a work titled Messages from Water, which contains photographs of water crystals next to essays and “words of intent.”

In addition to his books, Emoto also sells various water products from his websites and catalogs, which are purported to have healing properties derived from his research and experiments.

Water crystal work

Emoto‘s water crystal experiments consist of exposing water in glasses to different words, pictures, or music, and then freezing and examining the aesthetics of the resulting crystals with microscopic photography.^[5]^{[unreliable source? ]} Emoto claims that there are “many differences in the crystalline structure of the water” depending on the type of water source, which were taken from all over the world. For example, a water sample from a “pristine mountain” stream would purportedly show a “geometric” design that is “beautifully” shaped when frozen. On the other hand, “polluted water” sources will supposedly show a “definite distortion” and will be “randomly formed”.^[1]

New “Weird” States of Water Discovered

Exotic new states of water have raised questions about what we really know about one of the most common and abundant substances on the planet.

First there was the discovery that you can actually burn salt water if you zap it with just the right radio frequency, fueling hopes that plain old seawater could someday be converted to abundant clean energy. Researchers have found that water forms a floating bridge when exposed to high voltages. Other researchers also recently discovered that you can make water stay frozen at very warm temperatures if you coat it with a special diamond mixture. These are all surprising twists stemming from H2O—the abundant substance we all thought we knew so well.

Harvard physicists have found that specially treated diamond coatings can keep hot water in a frozen state.The researchers said the finding may be useful in certain medical implants, although others argue that diamonds might cause blood clots. In either case, the big news was that diamonds can make water solid. The Harvard team found that even a very thing layer of diamond coated with sodium atoms will keep warm water in a solid state up to 108 degrees Fahrenheit.

Use Rain Power and Solar Power Together!

by: Marcus Bicknell

The rainwater harvesting industry is constantly looking for different ways of making rainwater harvesting more economical and practical. Rainwater harvesting means you can use between 30% and 50% less on mains water consumption, and since we are all now under strong government pressure to do this. The Code for Sustainable Homes recommends rainwater harvesting for its higher target levels (maximum of 80 litres per day per person) and new Building Reg Part G 17K coming in April 2010 will, mean that, for the first time, water consumption limits will be a legal requirement in new buildings.

Rainwater harvesting does, however, in most circumstances use an electric pump to take the stored rainwater to where it is needed, and this pump needs power. Steps have already been taken to reduce this pump energy use. There are now specially-designed gravity feed systems whereby a rainwater header tank is only refilled when empty rather than every time water is drawn. This avoids the pump hunting, reduces pump activity considerably and, therefore, reduces energy use. The next logical step has been to use solar energy to power the pump.

A solar panel the size of a small car windscreen can power a gravity-feed rainwater management system. The solar panel, in combination with a submersible 12 volt pump in the main storage tank and a battery ensure rainwater can be pumped to the rainwater header tank without any use of mains electricity. The control mechanism of the system and the pump are both powered by the battery that is kept topped up by solar power in daylight hours. Even on a cloudy day, tests show that the most up-to-date solar panels can give six times the charge necessary to run a rainwater harvesting system in a typical family home. In the unlikely event of the panel not providing enough charge to the battery, mains electricity is used as backup. Furthermore, unlike normal chargers, the standby mode of the mains charger takes no current at all, not even a trickle.

So in such a system, the powerful mains-electric pump is replaced by a small 12 volt pump which pumps to 8-10 metres high, enough to feed a header tank on a two story house. One or more relay pumps, with supplemental solar panels, can be added for taller buildings. It should be noted that this system does not provide enough pressure for garden sprinkling but gravity fed irrigation is fine.

For quite a while, solar pump kits have been available allowing rainwater to be moved without the need for mains electricity and without having to turn on and off manually. Water can be moved, for example, from a low level collecting tank in the garden (or even at the end of a polytunnel or greenhouse) to a storage tank at a higher level. The applications are numerous in allotments, equestrian properties, market gardens and for water features. These kits can supply a drip feed watering system through a header tank (so that water is available for gravity feed at any time, even through a time switch). In more sophisticated kits, when the float switch detects water, it starts pumping, then when the header tank is full, it turns the pump off.

Using solar energy to power the pump is a big step forward in making rainwater harvesting an attractive sustainable proposition by saving water while not using extra power to do so.
