This video presents a lecture by Gerald H. Pollack on the role of electrically charged water (EZ water, or Exclusion Zones) in weather phenomena. Pollack challenges conventional understandings of water's phases and their involvement in processes like ice formation, evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and wind. He proposes that electrical charges within water significantly influence these weather patterns.
EZ Water's Role in Ice Formation: Pollack's research suggests that EZ water, a fourth phase of water with a layered, structured organization and a negative charge, is a necessary intermediary in the freezing and melting of water. Ice formation begins within the EZ and involves the incorporation of protons.
Evaporation as a Discrete Process: Contrary to the conventional view, Pollack argues that evaporation involves the release of clusters of water molecules (vesicles), not individual molecules, from structured regions within the water.
Electrical Charges and Cloud Formation/Suspension: Pollack posits that the negative charge of water vesicles and the positive charge of the atmosphere, interacting via a "like likes like" mechanism (Feynman), are responsible for cloud formation and their suspension in the sky, countering gravitational forces.
Charge-Driven Weather Phenomena: Pollack proposes that charge gradients and inductive forces, rather than solely temperature and pressure differences, explain condensation, precipitation, and wind. He presents examples of how electric fields could create the force to suspend clouds and drive wind.
