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

Amazing that something so easily verifiable hasn't been more widely publicized, this is proof that our scientific and educational institutions are not functioning correctly! You can easily replicate some of these experiments with very basic equipment at home.

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

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

I loved reading about the mysteries of water. I’m not a scientist and the author made it understandable with a very engaging writing style.I definitely recommend reading it.

What an amazing book! I have been fascinated by water; the nature of, for many years. There have been other books about water but they were usually cheap imitations of Loren Eiseley's work. I am only now learning about why water freezes from the top down and many other topics. This scientific approach is difficult for me. I wish that I would have paid closer attention in chemistry class. I keep plugging through the explanation of the water atoms and how the added protons help everything stick together. Maybe if I reread some of these chapters enough times, I will begin to understand what is being said. This is a book that everyone should read but few will. When I lay in the pool floating high in the water, I am constantly amazed that the water can hold me up without me needing to splash around.There are so many unanswered questions about water that it is hard to know where to start. There are fresh approaches now among scientists about where water comes from. When you realize that it is almost impossible to "make" water in the lab, it all becomes even more fascinating. You can't just take a couple of hydrogen atoms and combine them in a test tube with some Oxygen atoms and end up with a glass of water. Sooner or later you will end up thinking like Loren Eiseley again.
