Digital electrophotography

At the present time throughout the world a growing amount of evidence is being accumulated that water is able to store imprints of various influences to which it is exposed (the so-called memory of water). This offers the possibility for the detection of subtle fields via their imprint in water through the comparison of suitable processes that may run differently under the influence of imprinted vs. control water. This indirect detection also has the advantage that it is often easier to adequately control experimental conditions by performing further experiments on water.

One possibility to retrieve this imprint from the exposed water is through the corona discharge process (Kirlian effect), where the drops of water are exposed to a high frequency, high tension electric field. Various pieces of information stored in water can affect the corona discharge patterns around the drop during this process. Through a comparison of the corona discharge patterns of exposed and control water (unexposed, but otherwise identical), we are  trying to detect and obtain certain information about the imprinted fields.

In the past few years we developed a special method of corona discharge photography of water drops which we term Corona Discharge Electrography, since the images obtained were not real photographs, but a result of extraction and subsequent reaction of different ions and radicals from water drops with a specially prepared photographic emulsion. We have made many experiments with this technique and also published most of the results. Recently, we developed an improved method where we use a digital camera and transparent electrode to capture corona discharge images. We call this method Digital Electrophotography.

After capturing the images they are passed to a computer where they are processed and analyzed partly by standard and partly by specially developed software. The features of corona discharge patterns are expressed through a suitable set of parameters that are obtained and compared by computer analysis. The parameters express the most important angular, radial and overall characteristics of each image. The differences between treated and control water are then qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated. The significance of the results is statistically tested.
 

In our basic research we try to determine out which influences on water can be detected by this method. We tried to improve the sensitivity and reliability of the method, and find suitable methods for imprinting the subtle fields in water.

The influences to which we could expose the test samples of water may extend from various EM fields, subtle fields emanated by living organisms and unanimated objects, different environmental conditions, ultra-highly diluted and homeophatically prepared solutions, etc. During our previous research we made experiments with:

• different stages (larvae, pupae, beetles) of mealworm beetles (Berden1 et al. 97, abstract),
• possible emissions of subtle fields from the hands of healers and ordinary persons (Berden2 et al. 97, abstract),
• different ionic compositions of water (Skarja et al. 98, abstract),
• the influence of different dilutions prepared ordinarily and homoeopathically (Jerman et al. 99, abstract).

We also made many experiments by exposing water to different EM fields including  microwave fields (Kmecl et al. 00, abstract), computer monitor fields,  50Hz fields of electrical installations, etc.

Most of these experiments were performed with our previous method mentioned above. These images were then scanned and afterwards analyzed by computer in a similar way.
