New research by a group o Cali ornia scientists at the !merican "echnologies #roup ha$e %isco$ere%, i%enti ie%, an% characteri&e% a uni'ue type o stable (non)melting* ice crystals that maintain an electrical iel%. "hese scientists an% se$eral lea%ing uni$ersity pro essors are in%ing signi icant applica tions o these uni'ue ice crystals in me%icine an% pharmacy, in combustion enhancement, an% in sur actants an% cleansing agents. +peci ically, they ha$e been oun% to increase signi icantly the antibo%y an% cell)me%iate% immune responses to in ection an% cancer. "hey ha$e been oun% to impro$e gas combustion an% re%uce pollution emissions. "hey ha$e also been oun% to impro$e signi icantly the e icacy o large in%ustrial urnaces use% to ma,e ingre%ients or the manu acture o plastics. +hui)-in .o, PhD, a $isiting pro essor at the Cali ornia /nstitute o "echnology an% an internationally respecte% theoret ical physicist, has le% a team o scientists to con irm the e0istence an% signi icant o the ice crystals an% their electri cal iel%s. "he e0istence o these ice crystals has been $eri ie% with photographs rom an electron microscope, pro$i%ing two)%imension al pictures o the ice crystals, an% the newly %e$elope% !tomic orce microscope which pro$i%es three)%imensional photographs o the crystals. Dr. .o calls these ice crystals, /1 crystals (2/2 stan%s or ice, an% 212 or the electrical iel% that is emanate% rom them*. "he /1 crystals loo, a bit li,e a lentil bean an% ha$e a lat %isc con iguration. "he crystals congregate into clusters that range rom 13nm to se$eral microns in si&e an% can e$en be seen with a light micrscope using high power magni ica tion. Dr. .o has oun% that %i erent ice crystals an% their electrical iel%s can be create%. 4arious salts, aci%s, an% base substances ha$e alrea%y been teste%. He an% other scientists ha$e oun% signi icant biological an% chemical e ects rom the $arious /1 crystals that they ha$e teste% thus ar. !t a recent international symposium on /1 crystals, a %i $erse an% highly respecte% bo%y o 15 scientists con irme% an% e0pan%e% upon Dr. .o6s wor,. Dr. 7en8amin 7ona$i%a,

pro essor an% ormer chair o UC.!6s Department o Microbiology an% /mmu nology, has oun% that one type o /1 crystals in%uce% highly signi icant increases in $arious cyto,ines (me%iators o both the antibo%y an% cell)me%iate% immune responses to in ection an% cancer*. +peci ically, Dr. 7ona$i%a oun% increase% pro%uction o inter eron gamma, interleu,ins (eg. /.)9, /.)1:, /.)15*, an% tumor necrosis actor. Dr. 7ona$i%a6s stu%ies ha$e shown se$eral inter,eu,ins acti$ity to increase rom low bac,groun% le$els (when e0pose% to control water* to signi icant high le$els ( rom 5)1:: ol% in crease* when e0pose% to /1 water. Dr. 7ona$i%a asserts, 2"he /1 crystals we teste% has create% such %ramatic augmentation o regulators an% me%iaters o host immunity that a%%itional research is not only important, it is $ital.2 +elim +en,an, PhD., pro essor an% chair o UC.!6s Department o Chemical 1ngineering, has also %isco$ere% signi icant e ects rom /1 crystals but in a completely %i erent application. Dr. +en,an teste% /1 crystals as a uel a%%iti$e an% oun% a 5:);:< re%uction in carbon %eposits on engine piston tops. Dr. +en,an asserts, 2/ a%%itional wor, con irms our e0peri ments, the implications o /1 crystals or a wi%e $ariety o technological %e$ices will be signi icant. =ur wor, suggests that this /1 technology will lea% to greater energy e iciency an% re%uce% pollution.2 "he ability o /1 crystals to increase uel e iciency, %ecrease e0haust smog components, an% %ecrease carbon buil%)up in engines, thereby prolonging the li e o an engine, has le% Dr. .o an% his associates at !merican "echnologies #roup to use /1 crystal technology to create 2"he >orce"M,2 an airborne uel a%%iti$e that is place% in a car6s air ilter. !ccor%ing to the >inancial "imes (=ctober 5?, 1997*, "he >orce@ 2has a catalytic e ect which encourages a more complete burn o the uel.2 Aapan6s !utomoti$e "ransportation "echnical !ssociation, an in%epen%ent testing laboratory, oun% that 2"he >orce2B showe% a ?5.9< re%uction in carbon mono0i%e emissions, a 1;.7< re%uction in hy%rocarbon emissions, an% a 7< re%uction in nitrouso0i%e emi sions. "ests by others on the 1997 #ran% Chero,ee impro$e% mileage by o$er 1:< an% impro$e% acceleration in a %iesel autom bile with almost completely elmination o blac, smo,e e0haust. Dr. .o an% his colleagues ha$e shown that the e ect o /1 crystals on water is to re%uce the sur ace tension, %ecrease the %ielectric constant, increase the re racti$e in%e0, an% change the absorption pea,s o water molecules. "his e ect o /1 crystals in uel a%%icti$es increases the combustion o methane gas signi icantly an% increases the combustion o %iesel, pro pane, an% gasoline as well. Dr. +elim +en,an has also teste% /1 crystals in a steam crac,er, a reactor in which ethylene, the monomer use% to ma,e polyethylene plastics, is ma%e. "hese urnaces can be run or only se$eral months be ore they are plugge% by co,e ormation (carbon an% other inorganic %eposits* on their inner sur aces. Conse'uently, these reactors must be shut %own an% cleane% out or the continuation o the operations. Dr. +en,an has %isco$ ere% that /1 crystals can re%uce co,e ormation in these reactors by our) ol%, thereby prolonging their

operational li e times. +ince maintenence costs o these reactors are signi icant, the potential cost sa$ings to o$er C1: billion per year ethylene in%ustry is tremen%ous. +imon Parsons, pro essor in the +chool o Dater +ciences at Cran iel% Uni$ersity (UE*, has oun% that /1 water has re%uce% ouling o heat trans er e'uipment by soluble salts (mostly calcium carbonate* by 7:<. @ecent estimations o the o$erall costs o ouling to in%ustry in the UE alone are up to C5 bil lion. !r,a%y +initsyn, chair o Chemical 1n&ymology at Moscow +tate Uni$ersity, an% Mary 1. .i%strom, pro essor o Chemical 1ngineering an% Microbiology at the Uni$ersity o Dashington, ha$e both con irme% that /1 crystal may increase selecte% biolog ical growth (bio)augmentation* signi icantly, an% in some cases by more than 1::<. !"# is currently per orming tests with an en&yme pro%ucer to 'uanti y the biological growth enhancement capabilities o /1 crystals with ungus, en&ymes, an% methanogen ic generating bacteria. Dr. +initsyn has oun% that most o the teste% /1 crystal water %emonstrate% a positi$e 2bio) e ect2 on most o the teste% ungal an% bacterial strains. "his bio)e ect was e0presse% by the increase o titters o en&ymes pro%uce% by the microorganisms an% by the %ecrease o ermentation time. Dr. .i%strom oun% that /1 crystals stimulate% an increase o cellulase up to 9:<. Cellulase is an important en&yme in the pharmaceutical an% oo% in%ustries or its action as a %igesti$e ai% an% to impro$e the yiel% in 8uices. /t is also use% in the bleaching o paper an% ermenting chemicals. Dor, is progressing with cosmetics an% %etergent systems utili&ing /1 crystals with initially e0cellent results. "he implications or the use o /1 crystals to create sa er, more e ecti$e me%icine an% more e icient an% less polluting in%us trial machinery are signi icant.
