This ties in nicely with the article on MgCl2 in the most recent edition of Nexus magazine. > > At more than 1300 feet below sea level, the Dead Sea is lowest place on >earth.... leading one to wonder: could that realtive lowness and higher >evaporation rate have any special relevance to a mechanism which enriches the >sea in solar-derived hydrinos (assuming they percolate down through the >atmosphere)? Being that low, the air pressure should be greater than 1 atm. Combine that with the water "liquid crystal" layer at the surface (which may be affected by the higher pressure), and perhaps you have a recipe for "liquid crystal catalyzed LENR" :) [snip] Regards, Robin van Spaandonk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
