Abstract

Basic principles of Electrophotonic – Gas Discharge Visualization (EPC/GDV) technique – method of analysis of stimulated by electromagnetic field glow of liquids are discussed in the paper. Examples of experimental studies of  different samples of water, blood reaction to allergens, low concentrations of different salts are presented. High selectivity and sensitivity of the EPC/GDV approach is proven by publications  of different authors. EPC/GDV parameters depend on the chemical composition of a liquid, but most interesting is their dependence from structural properties of water and the possibility of data transfer through water. Measured parameters are defined by the emission activity  of surface layer of liquid, which depends on surface-active valency. It is clear that this property is defined by the structure of the near-surface clusters, so the EPC/GDV method may serve as one of the informational methods of study the structural-informational properties of liquids. Developed approach allowed to distinguish the changes of electrophotonic parameters of water under the remote influence of the human consciousness – directed human attention.  

Introduction

Currently considerable attention is being focused on the study of the structural properties of water and the possibility of data transfer through water. A lot of controversial information we may find concerning memory of water (Johansson, 2009). According to the viewpoint that has shaped, the phenomena observed during the experiments are determined by the processes of clusters and clathrates formation, mainly at  the atoms of admixtures (Del Giudice, Vitiello, 2006). The task of introducing these notions into  the scope of contemporary scientific thinking requires, first of all, a set of probative and reproducible experimental facts. Water is a complex subject of study, and its properties depend on a great number of factors; this requires that several independent techniques should be used in parallel, and that new informative methods for study of water properties should be developed and introduced into practice (Voeikov, Del Giudice, 2009).

The high degree of informativeness of the Dynamic Electrophotonic Capture (EPC) analysis based on Gas Discharge Visualization (GDV) method (Korotkov, 2002) applied for
studying liquid-phase subjects was first demonstrated during the study of the glow of microbiological cultures (Gudakova et al, 1990),  blood of healthy people and cancer patients (Korotkov et al, 1998), reaction of blood to allergens (Sviridov et al, 2003), homeopathic remedies of 30С potency (Bell et al, 2003), and very small concentrations  of various salts (Korotkov, Korotkin, 2001). The differences between the glow parameters of the NaCl, KCl, NaNO3 and KNO3, solutions and distilled water were observed until the 2-15 dilution; however, the dynamic trends of the 2-15 dilution and distilled water still had different directions.

Great interest has been roused by the studies directed at detecting the differences between the glow of natural and synthetic essential oils with identical chemical composition (Korotkov et al, 2004, Vainshelboim et al, 2004). The oils were analyzed in order to detect possible differences between oils that  were obtained by means of natural and synthetic processes, between oils of organic and regular origin; between oils obtained in different climatic conditions and extracted by means of different methods; between oils with different optical activity; between fresh oils and oils that were oxidized by various methods. The combinations of oils   2 under study did not show any statistically significant differences when analyzed by means of the gas chromatography method.  

Technique

Study of Electrophotonic parameters of liquids is based on using commercially produced instrument “GDV Camera”, which is manufactured by KTI company, St. Petersburg (web. Ref 1,2). This instrument is well-known for analyzing stimulated photon emission from human fingers which is being used for health and well-being diagnostics (Measuring 2002), analysis of athletes (Bundzen et al, 2005), altered states of consciousness (Bundzen et al, 2002. Korotkov et al. 2005), influence of music (Gibson, Williams 2005) and Qigong to people (Rubik, Brooks 2005),  as well as geo-active zones (Hacker et al, 2005) and minerals (Vainshelboim et al, 2005).

When the EPC parameters are measured for  liquid subjects, a drop of the liquid is suspended at 2-3 mm distance above the glass surface of the optical window of the device, and
the glow from the meniscus of the liquid is registered (Fig.1).  The volume of liquid is about 5*10-3 ml. Temperature is kept in the range 22-24 C, the relative humidity is maintained from 42% to 44%. The train of triangular bipolar electrical 10 mcs impulses of amplitude 3 kV at a steep rate of 106 V/s and a repetition frequency of 103 Hz, is applied to the conductive transparent layer at the back side of the quartz electrode thus generating electromagnetic field (EMF) at the surface of the electrode and around the drop. Under the influence of this field, the drop produces a burst of electron-ion emission and optical radiation light quanta in the visual and ultraviolet light regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. These particles and ions initiate electron-ion avalanches, which give rise to the sliding gas discharge along the dielectric surface (Korotkov, Korotkin 2001). A spatial distribution of discharge channels is registered through a glass electrode by the optical system with a charge coupled device TV camera, and then it is digitized in the computer.

Drops are exposed to EMF from 2 s up to 10  s, and short “films” are recorded in the computer as .avi files. The frame rate (frequency of record) is defined by the optical system and
typically range from 30 to 60 frames per second. Avi files then converted in a series of BMP files, and the area (the number of light-struck pixels) and averaged intensity (ranked from 0 for absolute black to 255 for absolute white) parameters for every image is calculated by the software. The time series are averaged on 10 measurements that provide the statistical reliability at the confidence level of 0.95 with the experimental sensitivity of 75%.

Examples of EPC glow for different liquids are presented at Fig.2. This method is very sensitive to the condition of water and liquids, but in the process of discharge micro-droplets of water are dispersed to the surface of the electrode thus changing the volume of drop in time. So this method may be used for short – up to 30 s – time series only. Recording 30 frames per second provides about 900 images in 30 s which is quite enough for statistical analysis.

The reproducibility of the method was verified by measuring the time dynamics of the gas discharge around a metal cylinder that was 10 mm in diameter, and was placed at the center of the optical electrode and electrically connected with EPC instrument. 30 subsequent measurements provided statistical reliability at the confidence level of 0.95 with the experimental sensitivity of  95%. Deviation at every point of the time series was less than 3%.

Metal cylinder is used in another method of measuring longtitude time variations of water properties. In this case water is kept in glass vial and standart Pt electrode is inserted in water (Fig.3). Pt electrode is connected with metal cylinder which in this case is disconnected from the EPC instrument. Intensity of gas discharge around metal cylinder depends on the capacitance of the cylinder - Pt electrode chain, which depends on water properties.
