Resonant frequency of water possible or not?

Resonant frequency of water possible or not?

Resonant frequency of water possible or not?

(OP)
In thread466-1866: Resonant Frequency of water molecule: Resonant Frequency of water molecule i read that a possible frequency could be emitted to potentially break the ionic bonds of water; what type of machine would emit radio/micro waves at such frequencies? Would the machine be adjustable?

RE: Resonant frequency of water possible or not?

You could try Googling: 22.235 GHz. Also, look into radio astronomy and 'water line'. There are several frequencies listed above 275 GHz.

There was a news tidbit a few months ago about some loons that found that water subjected to huge amounts of microwave would disassociate and they could ignite the resultant hydrogen oxygen gas mixture. What I could see was that the flame was quite small and the microwave generator was quite huge. There was AT LEAST an order of magnitude gap between the AC power being consumed by their equipment and the power evidenced in the embarrassingly small flame. That obvious inefficiency made the news less than interesting to me.

RE: Resonant frequency of water possible or not?

I was following that story closely and concur with most points. The media were not helpful nor was the web, but it is not likely possible to couple RF energy by simple absorption in the water. That is why we have 'ionizing' radiation (x-rays  for example).  But I wanted to add my observation from the videos I saw that ties into this thread... the work described started with making a gold(?) colloid that would couple with the RF for cancer drug delivery. Then, in a video, it looked like there was a small amount of colored liquid (consistent with a colloid IMHO) placed in the rf field. Then, without explanation, it looked to me that the water-turned-to-fuel may have had the dilute colloid added to it before the activation in the rf field. These small metal particles in the water may just catalyze the water dissociation in the rf field.  As for efficiency, I too am dubious since such experiments certainly must have been done in the past century by others and become a curiosity instead of a process.
