ORMUS and Global Warming
By Barry Carter
I have been working
on
figuring out ways to mitigate or reverse global warming for over a
decade.
Global warming is
caused by a
variety of factors which include changes in solar radiation, changes in
reflection from the Earth's surface and probably the largest factor
which is
increased "greenhouse gasses" like carbon in the atmosphere. A 1994
Greenpeace document titled "The Carbon Bomb" describes how
atmospheric carbon contributes to global warming and suggests some
remedies
that might be instituted to reduce atmospheric carbon.
In 1995 I scanned
"The
Carbon Bomb" and in 1997 I sent the electronic version to Jay Hansen,
one
of the leading researchers on peak oil and global warming. You can read
"The Carbon Bomb" on Jay's site at:
In 1998 I wrote the
following
article:
http://www.subtleenergies.com/ormus/bmnfa/global.htm
and put it on my forest web site.
In this article I
cited
research about how reductions in forest health and growth were
exacerbating
global warming and asked:
"What are the
economic
impacts of global warming? How will this affect commerce? What have the
recent
"natural disasters" cost and how are they related to global warming
or ozone depletion?"
I believe that
global warming
and the end of the petroleum economy are the greatest threats to our
well being
as a culture and as a species. In 2002 I wrote the following about this:
"As corporate,
governmental and religious structures grow very large and powerful they
tend to
loose track of the other needs of the people they were built to serve.
They
also tend to maximize short term "profit" by "mining" resources
without consideration of sustainability. Supply lines tend to get
longer, more
interdependent and more fragile.
Our food supply
capability is
a good example of this. The small, local, family farm has given way to
large,
distant corporate farms. These large farms are much more dependent on
petroleum
for running equipment and for shipping food to the distant consumer. As
nearby
petroleum is "mined" out, the supply lines for it grow longer and
more difficult to support and defend. The large corporate farms also
become
more and more dependent on chemical poisons and fertilizers to maintain
production levels because they have depleted ("mined") the mineral
productivity of the soil.
As nearby soil is
depleted we
must go further and further to find productive land. This same scenario
has
been repeated over and over by every city-based civilization in the
past. At
some point the supply lines and profit margins are stretched so thin
that the
smallest disruption can bring the entire structure to the ground."
You can read about
how the
Easter Islanders destroyed their own resource base in a similar way at:

I believe that the
interrelated problems of peak oil and global warming pose the greatest
threat
to our modern culture. I also believe that ORMUS has the potential to
provide
the most significant contribution to solving both of these problems.
Here is why I
believe this:
First: Atmospheric
carbon
comes from the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, changes in ocean
currents
and the melting of the permafrost in arctic regions, among other
things. If
there was a way to increase carbon sequestration (the binding of carbon
in
trees, soil, sea water and agricultural plants) this would pull carbon
dioxide
(one of the largest contributors to global warming) out of the air and
lock it
up where it no longer works as a greenhouse gas.
It looks like ORMUS
can more
than double the growth of plants and this will sequester more carbon.
The
walnuts at:
http://www.subtleenergies.com/ormus/tw/walnuts.htm
and the oranges at:
http://www.subtleenergies.com/ormus/tw/oranges.htm
more than quadrupled in size after being given
ORMUS sea
water precipitate for four years.
The trees they grew
on also
showed similar increases in growth as you can see here:
http://www.subtleenergies.com/ormus/tw/walnutcomparison.jpg
These changes in
agricultural
production should also apply to increases in forest growth if ever
ORMUS is
applied to entire forests.
Second: The
underground
ecosystem is also significantly enhanced by ORMUS. There is probably
more
biomass underground than there is above ground. One very significant
component
of this biomass is called mycorrhizal fungi. You can read an article I
wrote in
1997 on mycorrhizal fungi in forest soils at:
http://www.subtleenergies.com/ormus/bmnfa/soil.htm
Sea water ORMUS
precipitate
typically doubles the mass of mycorrhizal fungi in soil within a month
after
application. Since these fungi are the largest organisms on earth,
ORMUS can
significantly increase the sequestration of carbon in agricultural and
forest
soils.
Third: Mycorrhizal
fungi feed
plants by dissolving minerals in the soil and helping to transport
these
minerals to the plants they are attached to. This reduces the need to
add
nutrients and fertilizers to the soil. Since these nutrients and
fertilizers
often come from petroleum sources and must be transported using fossil
fuel fed
vehicles; reducing the need for fertilizer in half will also
significantly
reduce the release of carbon into the air.
Fourth: The
nutrients that
have been put into solution and moved into the associated plants by the
mycorrhizal fungi will remain bioavailable
and
eventually will make their way to the ocean where they will feed the
ocean
microorganisms which are one of the earth's greatest carbon
sequestration
factors. These ocean microorganisms are finally being recognized as
comprising
one third of all of the earth's biomass as you can see at:
http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=34176
They are also a
major factor
in global climate:

Fifth: Plants that
are grown
with ORMUS supplements have increased sugar content in both the edible
and in
the more "woody" inedible portions. This means that they will produce
more alcohol per acre if fermented.
Alcohol is a major
fuel in
http://www.tierramerica.net/2004/1030/iarticulo.shtml
It looks like ORMUS
can
double, triple or even quadruple the plant production on an acre of
land and
that ORMUS also increases the sugar content of these plants by 30% or
more and
that ORMUS makes the brewers yeasts hardy enough that they can make
higher
percentage alcohol before they die. If these observations are
consistently confirmed
by the growing body of agricultural experience with ORMUS, we may see
as much
as a ten fold increase in alcohol production per acre with ORMUS.
Already
alcohol is "about one-third less expensive than gasoline"; see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_alcohol_fuel
If we can get only
twice as
much alcohol per acre (instead of ten times as much as I suspect we
can) it
will still be much more competitive with petroleum. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol_fuel_in_Brazil
Add in the burning
of
biomass, the use of biodiesel and other bioenergy products that would be increased by
the greater
productivity of ORMUS crops and we should see a significant reduction
in the
burning of fossil fuels and their contribution to atmospheric carbon.
Above are the most
accessible
and easiest to implement changes that ORMUS might create toward
mitigating
global warming and disruptions from peak oil but other alternative
energy
related changes have also been suggested and these might also reduce
the
production of greenhouse gasses.
The following are
more
speculative ways that ORMUS might reduce greenhouse gasses:
Sixth: David Hudson
originally built his plant in order to supply ORMUS rhodium as a
catalyst for
use in fuel cells. He claimed that the ORMUS rhodium catalyst worked as
well as
metallic rhodium in these fuel cells. One gentleman who worked for
Seventh: I have
heard that
something like half of the electricity generated in the
Eighth: Energy
storage is
crucial to making solar, wind and hydroelectric energy competitive with
fossil
fuels. Cheaper and more energy efficient ways to store solar energy is
essential to its popular use at night and in the winter time. A typical
household requires twice the number of solar panels in the winter to
supply the
amount of energy that solar panels provide in the summer.
If ORMUS could be
used to
store energy, as
Energy storage like
this
would make roof top solar electric systems viable where energy could be
stored
in the summer for use in the winter.
Ninth: They could
also be
used to power electric cars. Here is a quote from an investment
promotion by a
company called Profit Technologies which suggests that an ORMUS osmium
battery
has already been tested:
"THE OSMIUM BATTERY
of
the future will be capable of holding a single charge up to 3,000
miles."
You can read a bit
more about
this at:
http://www.mhonarc.org/archive/html/procmail/1998-02/msg00050.html
I have heard that
this osmium
battery was the size of an ordinary automobile battery yet provided all
of the
energy to power an automobile for 3,000 miles.
If the energy to
power a car
can come from a 22 pound battery instead of an 80 pound tank of
gasoline then
many additional energy savings become possible. The car might be
powered by
Tenth: David Hudson
and Jim
both noticed that some of the ORMUS materials would "disappear in a
flash
of light" when dried out in sunlight. This suggests that there is some
sort of energy conversion happening. Might it be possible to capture
this
energy before the material "disappears in a flash of light" and thus
create a more efficient solar energy collector?
Eleventh: True
"free
energy" systems have also been suggested in connection with ORMUS. This
connection is the most tenuous but has a great potential to change
everything.
After he
accidentally got his
hands in some powerful ORMUS material my friend Jim noticed that he
could not
touch anything without a "spark" jumping from him to what he was
touching. This phenomena continued for
months after he
got his hands in the energetic ORMUS. You can read about Jim's
experience with
this at:
http://www.subtleenergies.com/ormus/tw/jimstory.htm
The energetic
phenomena that
Jim experienced have also been noticed by other ORMUS researchers and
are being
replicated in an ORMUS product. The "Spark of Life" water from
Ancient Transformational Technologies is capable of delivering repeated
shocks
to large circles of people for several months after it is made. You can
order
this water by calling:
719-783-0310
You can find more
info on
this water at:
http://www.subtleenergies.com/ormus/tw/aetheric.htm
It looks like this
ORMUS
technology is capable of tapping into the "zero point" energy that
runs the universe.
Here is a quote
about this
zero point energy:
"Mainstream science
is
now coming to a decent understanding of the vacuum of space. They are
referring
to it as the seething vacuum. The vacuum of space or the zero point
energy, (it
is called the zero point energy because it is the energy present in an
absolute
vacuum, no gas or solid matter, at absolute 0 degrees Kelvin) is now
conservatively estimated to be 10 to the 99th to 10 to the 100th power
per
cubic centimeter. To get your mind around this much energy, one must
first
visualize the power of the sun. Then multiply it by 100 billion and
then let it
burn for 100 million years. That is the approximate amount of energy
there is
in 1 cubic centimeter of space."
Put in another way;
every
electron spins a trillion times per second. Most atoms have several
electrons
and there are a quadrillion atoms in every
cell. There
are 75-100 trillion cells in the body. One physicist told me that the
energy of
one electron is enough to power all human endeavors on earth from now
till the
sun goes nova. You can read more about the energetics
of ORMUS at:
http://www.subtleenergies.com/ormus/tw/energetic.htm
Twelfth: The
anti-gravity
potential of ORMUS might be used to generate power.

I have arranged
these ways to
mitigate global warming and peak oil from the easiest and most
effective to the
least likely at the end. The first five items could be implemented on a
small
scale by virtually everyone who reads this.
I would rather see
more
discussion of this aspect of ORMUS technology than discussion of the
"red
lion", the pure "annealed" white powder of gold or the
Philosopher's Stone. Even if one is capable of living a thousand years
by
eating the Philosopher's Stone, I suspect that this is dependent on
having food
to eat and temperatures cooler than the surface of a planet like Venus
(a good
example of a runaway green house effect).
