Water Related Science Topics For July 2024

New, primary, earth-generated Water.
Researchers at Northwestern University located in Evanston, IL announced the discovery of a
reservoir of water within the earth at considerable depth that contains as much or more water
than all oceans. They mention ringwoodite which was first mentioned by other researchers in
2014 and which we wrote about 2 years ago. Hopefully the Northwestern researchers will end
up exploring a more contemporary and accurate source. However, any and all research is
welcome and will eventually lead us to the salvation of good, plentiful water for the entire
world.

We continue to encourage either public or private investment for pursuing the search for an
unlimited supply of fresh water being constantly produced deep within the earth. The theory of
this occurring was validated in the first half of the 20 th century by Stephen Riess and
demonstrated by his locating and drilling of dozens of wells in improbable locations.

We just received what is now a 40 year old transcript of a speech titled Earth-Generated Water:
A Potential Solution. The speech was given to Mideastern scientists and politicians in Iran by
Morad Eghbal and takes a pragmatic view of the geopolitical impact of water resources in the
entire Mideastern region. The history of water sources as well as technologies is explored. Mr.
Morad was a follower of Stephan Riess and of interest traced the theory of water being
produced back as far as Leonardo da Vinci in the 1500’s through numerous German and Swedish
scientists and geologists.

Desalination.
Until the implementation of obtaining earth-generated water is achieved, survival could very
well become dependent on using seawater with much of the 3% of minerals dissolved in it
removed. Historically, this was done by a process called distillation where the seawater was
boiled and the resulting steam containing little or no minerals was condensed on a cool surface
as usable water. The process was energy inefficient thus costly even after decades of fine
tuning. In the late 1960’s the process of reverse osmosis (RO) was invented and within a decade
it was refined sufficiently to dewater seawater i.e. remove most water and discard a brine too
rich in minerals to be used for anything. The process discards 40% or more of all water as a
mineral-rich brine which is becoming an environmental issue, uses considerable energy (though
50% or more less than distillation) and the equipment is complicated as well as expensive to
operate.

We all know that water needs to be heated to vaporize, right? Wrong! Physics instructors have
been teaching this forever, but a group of students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT) apparently never got the memo so they have reinvented distillation w/o heat. Apparently,
when the surface of water is bombarded with green light at a 45° angle the water vaporizes. I
envision the photon energy breaking the hydrogen bonds holding water clusters together and
freeing up individual water molecules which are significantly lighter than air to float up to a condensing surface. The energy from a green LED is all that’s required. I never thought to ask a physics professor why puddles evaporated on a cool day or how sublimation of ice works.
