THE SCIENTIFIC CASE
Various analytic methods and equipment are today available for the precise identification of molecules. For instance, molecules can be readily identified via peaks in Gas (or Liquid) Chromatographer Mass Spectrometers (GC-MS or LC-MS), depending of whether treating substances in their gaseous (or liquid) state.
However, a scientific claim of serious identification of a given molecular species requires at least a second independent detection, the best being given by InfraRed (or UltraViolet) Detectors (IRD or UVD) for the gaseous (liquid) state. In fact, a scientifically distinct peculiarity of molecules is that, with very few exceptions such as the hydrogen, molecules are not spherically symmetric, thus having a number of well defined IR (or UV) signatures permitting a clear and unambiguous identification of the considered molecule.
In May 20, 2001, the Russian-American scientist Prof. J. V. Kadeisvili submitted to the Journal of Physical Chemistry of the American Chemical Society under the editorship of Dr. M. A. El-Sayed a paper reproduced in its entirety below entitled
EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE ON A NEW CHEMICAL SPECIES OF HYDROGEN WITH SANTILLI MAGNECULAR STRUCTURE.
In essence, Prof. Kadeisvili (a physicist) presented to the chemical audience a rather considerable volume of experimental measurements conducted by reputable independent U. S. analytic laboratories, all results released under the signature of their directors, said measurements having been repeated several times establishing the existence of a new chemical species of hydrogen with specific weight about seven times that of conventional hydrogen while the species result to be composed of over 98% ordinary hydrogen.
The primary importance of this new species of "heavy hydrogen" is evidently for the environment, as clearly stated in Prof. Kadeisvili's paper. In fact, thanks to Prof. Santilli new technology for the production of new very clean fuels with magnecular structure
http://www.magnegas.com> the new species of "heavy hydrogen": offer a serious possibility for long ranges at the compressed gaseous state by eliminates the currently used, extremely expensive cryogenic liquefaction, also very dangerous because of possible changes of states due to mechanical malfunctions; eliminates the seepage problem of conventional hydrogen; the production of this particular type of "heavy hydrogen" comes with the release in the atmosphere of oxygen to avoid the very serious "oxygen depletion" caused by hydrogen; the production cost is considerably reduced; etc.
For unspoken yet very serious environmental problems caused by large use of hydrogen as a fuel, problems resolved by this species of "heavy hydrogen", one may consult
http://www.magnegas.com/hydrogen-problems-index.htm>.
Since hydrogen has only one valence electron, pre-established chemistry has no possibility at all of explaining the new stable clusters composing the new species of hydrogen. Therefore, the experimental data presented by Prof. kadeisvili provide additional rather crushing experimental evidence on the existence of the new chemical species of magnecules discovered by the Italian-American physicist Prof. Ruggero maria Santilli> (formerly from Harvard University, current nominated for the Nobel Prize in physics and, separately, for chemistry by numerous scientists the world over, CV at http://www.i-b-r.org/santilli.htm>).
The new species of Santilli magnecules essentially consist of atoms (such as H, C, O, etc.), dimers (such as OH, CH, etc.) and ordinary molecules (such as H2, O2, H2O, etc.) bonded together by the attractive force between opposing magnetic polarities of toroidal polarizations of the orbitals of at least some of the peripheral electrons (see Prof. Kadeisvili's paper below and original references quoted therein).
Santilli's magnecules appear in the GC-MS or LC-MS as clusters exactly like ordinary molecules. Therefore, their identification requires at least one additional independent test. In fact, magnecules have the distinct scientific feature of having no infrared signature for gases and no ultraviolet signature for liquids, evidently due to the fact that the magnecular bond is weaker than the molecular one, the absence of IR or UV signature occurring for clusters all the way to 1,000 atomic mass units (amu). It then follows that a large cluster identified in the GC-MS or LC-MS that has no IR or UV signature absolutely-positively cannot be a molecule, thus signaling the end of the complete dominance of chemistry by the old species of molecules.
Since the large clusters beyond the value of 2 amu creating the new species of "heavy hydrogen" tested by Prof. Kadeisvili has no IR signature despite, said clusters cannot possibly be molecules, that is, the bond of H-atoms responsible for the heavy species absolutely cannot be a valence bond. The interpretation via Santilli's magnecules is the most plausible at this time due to the method of creation of the "heavy hydrogen" (via exposure to an electric DC arc). No other quantitative interpretation exists in any case.
Santilli magnecules also have numerous additional very special and distinct scientific characteristics, all verified by repeated independent measurements, and all simply inconceivable for molecules, such as the fact that MS peaks of magnecules change in time, (an absolute novelty today known as "Santilli cluster mutation").
Also, all blanks on GC-MS and other detectors following scans with a gas with magnecular structure and its routine flushing, preserve the original peaks prior to flushing (a feature so distinct that can only be interpret in a credible way as adhesion to internal walls due to magnetic polarization, thus confirming the magnetic polarization in the new species).
Similarly, micrometric feeding lines for GC-MS and other equipment that work well for any molecular gas are occluded by a magnecular gas to such an extent of shutting down the instrument due to lack of injection (another occurrence solely explainable in a credible way via anomalous adhesion of the gas to the internal walls of the feeding lines, which adhesion can only be interpreted in a credible way as due to magnetic induction since there is no ÒglueÓ permitting the preservation of molecules), and other distinct scientific characteristics solely possible for a non-molecular species.
It should be stressed that, while the measurements are beyond any possible scientific doubt, their magnecular interpretation is conjectural at this moment and it is presented in Prof. Kadeisvili's work as a mere working hypothesis.
In conclusion, crushing experimental evidence on the "heavy hydrogen" has the clear historical value of signaling the end of the era of sole valence bonds in favor of new fundamental novelties in the way atoms bond to each others.
THE MUMBO-JAMBO "REVIEW" BY THE
AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY AND BY
THE U.S. NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES
About one year following the original submission on May 20, 2001, Prof. Kadeisvili received a letter of rejection from Dr. Mostafa A. El-Sayed of the American Chemical Society on grounds that "magnecules" violate quantum electrodynamics.
This "review" was evidently false because, as clearly stated in the paper submitted and in the vast related references, the very existence of Santilli magnecules depends on the validity of quantum electrodynamics, since the magnecular bond is created via the control of orbitals under an external magnetic fields precisely along quantum alectrodynamical laws.
Being of a foreign origin not accustomed to this type of nonscientific review without any meaningful technical content at all, Prof. Kadeisvili wanted to withdraw the paper. Due to pressures from his colleagues outside the USA, Prof. Kadeisvili resubmitted the paper a second time on arch 15, 2003 with repetitious statements on the validity of quantum electrodynamics to prevent possible intentional misreporesenitations.
Some six months later or so, Dr. Mostafa A. El-Sayed produced a second rejection that is so mumbo-jambo, ku-ku-ku-la-la-la to suggest its lack of review here in order to prevent excessive damage to the American Chemical Society by the world scientific community inspecting this denunciation. In any case, if the review is indicated here, it is so crazy that it would not be believed.
Disgusted by this strictly anti-scientific behavior, Prof. Kadeisvili wanted to withdraw the paper. At this point our International Committee on Scientific Ethics was called in to monitor the case. Under our pressures, Prof. kadeisvili submitted the paper a third time on August 10, 2003 again with totally irrelevant revisions, due to the lack of scientific content of the preceding reviews that could even marginally help in improving the paper.
The incredible "review" from the American Chemical Society arrived several months later, the hand of its editor Dr. Mostafa A. El-Sayed rejecting the paper, this time on grounds that "additional evidence on the new species with IR signatures had to be provided prior to printing."
Just incredible! Just incredible! The ABSENCE of IR signature is a distinct scientific feature of Santilli magnecules! How could Prof. Kadeisvili provide additional experimental evidence on something that does not exist! How can the American Chemical Society drop such statements and then dream of preserving any credibility?
Under increased pressure by the International Committee for Scientific Ethics, pressures originating from informed segments of the European community alarmed by the implications for society of a clear decay of scientific ethics in the United States of America (of which this is only one of too too many unreassuring episodes), Prof. Kadeisvili submitted the paper the forth and final time on May 8, 2004. The final rejection is reproduced below in its entirety:
**********************************
Subject: Manuscript Number JP030455L
Dear Dr. Kadeisvili:
Attached is the final reviewer's comment on your paper. He is a member of the US
National Academy of Science, he is in the field of Spectroscopy (both IR and Mass.
Spectroscopy) and he is well known in Molecular Clusters. I will not find a
better-qualified reviewer than him.
I am sorry that we could not get the kind of review that would
help publish this work in
JPC.
Yours truly,
Mostafa A. El-Sayed
Reviewer 65 MS JP030455L
"Experimental Evidence on a New Heavy Species of Hydrogen with Santilli
Magnecular Structure"
A major prerequisite for a paper to be considered worthy of publication in any scientific
journal, and JPC in particular, is that the work fulfill the following requirements;
1. be original and contain substantial unpublished material;
2. be presented in a manner and giving sufficient detail such that the findings can be
duplicated by other competent researchers;
3. reporting of the findings must await until presenting details is not impeded by
secrecy requirements due to patent or other corporate considerations.
While the authors have mentioned the surprising findings that the "magnecules" are
not amenable to study by i.r. spectroscopy, the above 3 issues have not been
satisfactory addressed. Regarding #2, for example, how was the temperature of the
arc characterized: the length of an experiment; how the fields were applied; the
characterization of the starting materials, etc.?
I do not believe that this paper should be published in its present form.

**************************************
The lack of technical content or usefulness of this final "review" is evident even to a high school student. Its content is quire unreassuring because:
1. The originality and novelty of the paper are history making.
2. The duplicability of the findings is stressed in the paper, by providing web sites where the equipment is under industrial production (www.magnegas.com), and by even by offering samples of the gas for independent re-run of the measurements, as the reader is requested to verify in the paper below due to the incredible nature of the claims by this ACS "reviewer."
3. What secrecy? Perhaps the secrecy of this anonimous "scientist" of the U. S. National Academy of Sciences? The paper presents the totality of the material available in the subject without any secrecy at all. Where are the grounds for secrecy? What;'s the basis for such an incredible ground for rejection?
THE INEVITABLE CONCLUSIONS
The American Chemical Society has violated all basic rules of proper scientific conduct in the "editorial" handling of Prof. kadeisvili's paper, because:
A) To qualify as "reviewers" in a serious scientific journals, scientists must be "expert, specifically, in the field of the paper, that is, have a record of publications specifically in said field. Anybody who has the audacity of claiming that the four "reviewers" selected by the AMC were qualified is an ennemy of science. It is evident that the "reviewers" were politically and not scientifically selected, for there is a limit of academic hypocrisy beyond which there is a price to pay.
B) After being scientifically selected, the reviewers have the duty of studying the paper seriously. From the incredible statements in the report, contrary to the content of the paper (violation of quantum electrodynamics while the paper assumes that discipline at its foundation, lack of experimental evidence while that available is massive and signed by reputable directors of reputable independent laboratories, need for additional evidence with IR signature while its absence is a scientific distinction of the new species of Santilli ,magnecules, etc.) from all these statements is evident that the "reviewers" selected by the American C chemical Society did not even bothered to read the paper. They were just ordered rejection and they dropped down some mumbo-jambo ku-ku-ku la-la-la words without any scientific content or value, just to obey orders. From where? That is the question the American Chemical Society must answer publicly in the event it cares to preserve a minimum of credibility.
C) As clearly stated, the central scope of the paper is to present experimental measurements done and repeated several times. All possible information was provided for the independent re-run of the measurements, including the availability of the magnegas fuel from which the new species of "heavy hydrogen" is separated via zeolites and other PSA techniques. The interpretation via Santilli magnecules is presented as a working hypothesis while the author, in proper scientific behavior, solicited colleagues to repeat the measurements and to identify other interpretations of the data.
One of the fundamental rules of real science is that novel experimental data must be first published and then discussed via publications in refereed journals. The American Chemical Society has intentionally suppressed the availability of the experimental data on the new chemical species of "heavy hydrogen" in a fully premeditated, calculated and protracted way to serve organized academic interest in old theories and the large research funds they carry.
D) Since the new species is available, can be reproduced with available technologies, and laboratories are available in academia, the American Chemical Society had the ethical duty to reject the paper only following the "disproof" of the measurements via counter-measurements rather than throwing mumbo-jambo non scientific nonsense without meaning.
E) Finally, before dismissing Prof. Santilli's historical discovery of the news chemical species of magnecule as nonexistence, the American Chemical Society had to prove that a sufficiently strong magnetic fields cannot polarize the orbitals of peripheral electrons into toroids, with consequential creation of a magnetic field numerically identified to be 1,415 times stronger than the nuclear magnetic field, which task is manifestly impossible since the existence of said toroidal polarization is established by quantum electrodynamics.
To have a serious perspective of the case, one should compare the above equivocal conduct by the American Chemical Society with the conduct of corresponding scientific conduits in Europe and in the rest of the world, where, as one can see from the references at the end of Prof. Kadeisvili's paper, the non-US scientific community has embraced the new chemical species of Santilli magnecules as one of the several new frontiers under study in chemistry, one of the most prestigious scientific publisher in Europe has published a monograph by Prof. santilli on his historical discovery (thus disqualifying any claim on lack of academic acceptance), a new center of research is being organized on "new fuels with magnecular structures" (because the elimination of the molecular structure in favor of a weaker bond is mandatory to avoid the extreme pollution of fossil fuels with molecular structure), etc. What a difference of scientific conduct between Europe and the U.S.A. What a difference!
A couple of months ago, Wallace at 60 Minutes compared the current status of the United States of America to the Roman Empire at the beginning of the second Century. Romans did not understand that their empire was gone at its very peak of power because of ethical decay. In fact, two generations later, the Romans did not even fix their aqueducts and that's the reason why Roman ruins in Rome are under meters of swamp soil.
Unfortunately for themselves and for mankind, Americans did not appear to care a bit of Wallace's outcry (with the due exceptions, of course), despite its vast exposure to the public. The problem is that there are increasingly credible data according to which the Southern part of the United States of America will become uninhabitable within the next two generations because of cataclysmic climactic events caused by the currently uncontrolled pollution, exactly as it happened to the end of the Roman Empire, although for different reasons.
Wallace is not aware of the alarming ethical decay in the U. S. science at large, because political events are somewhat inspected by the newsmedia to be reported in the usual half-truth way. Unfortunately, the U. S. science has no monitoring of scientific ethics of any credible type at all, not even minute, indirect or tangential. As a result, everything goes in the U.S. science, provided that you have the power. That is what alarmed informed foreign observers, because the damage to mankind of an uncontrolled ethical decay of the U.S. science can be potentially lethal to mankind due to its current power.
As clearly stated in the paper below, the new species of "heavy hydrogen" with Santilli magnecular structure has been discovered and developed precisely to provide a serious solution to the increasingly cataclysmic climactic events that are expected to render the Southern part of the U.S.A. un-inhabitable within two generations.
No person with a marginal sense of dignity can deny that, in the review of Prof. Kadeisvili's paper, the American Chemical Society has opposed the resolution of these increasingly cataclysmic climactic events for the evident purpose of serving organized academic interests on the billions of dollars surrounding the old notion of molecules and its polluting fuels.
But then, without due and timely corrections beginning with the setting up of serious and severe controls of scientific ethics at all levels, a historical condemnation of the United States of America by posterity for irreparable damage to mankind is simply unavoidable.

In this note we present recent measurements indicating the apparent
eb> Axistence of a new species of gaseous Hydrogen with considerable environmental
significance identified by the Italian-American physicist Ruggero Maria Santilli
having the specific weight of 15.06 a.m.u. while resulting to be composed of
99.2\% Hydrogen that normally has specific weight of 2.016 a.m.u.; we outline the
method needed for the production of the species and make available the gas
originally used for independent re-runs by interested colleagues; and we point
out that the data signal the birth of a new chemical species since they
cannot be interpreted via conventional valence bonds. With the understanding that
the final identification of the new bond will require considerable time, we point
out the most plausible interpretation available at this writing given by {\it
Santilli magnecules} [1] with a clearly identified attractive force
among the atomic constituents originating from toroidal
polarizations of atomic orbitals. Alternative theoretical interpretations of
the data are encouraged, provided that they identify indeed
the actual attractive force responsible for the bond and avoid experimentally
unverifiable new valence nomenclatures.
1. The Experimental Evidence on the New Species of Hydrogen.
In
this note we report an apparently new species of Hydrogen identified by the
Italian-American physicist Ruggero Maria Santilli via molecular sieving
separation from a combustible gas, called MagneGas (MG) because of certain magnetic polarizations
reviewed below, produced via an underwater electric arc between Carbon-base electrodes and the
use of the new PlasmaArcFlow process described in detail in www.magnegas.com. Quantum chemistry
predicts that such a combustible gas is composed of 50\% Hydrogen contained in a {\it mixture}
(rather than a valence bond) with other Carbon-base gases, thus permitting
separation via molecular filtering, pressure swing adsorption, and similar
methods.
The new species of Hydrogen was separated at Adsorption
Research Laboratory of Dublin, Ohio, by passing said combustible gas various
times through a 0.5 nm zeolite, that, as well known, separates gases via a
process called "molecular sieving," or molecular size exclusion. Santilli then
obtained the following measurements on the new species of Hydrogen:
1) Following the separation of the new species, Adsorption Research Laboratory
conducted in February 2001 measurements of specific weighty, and released a
signed statement according to which the new species has the specific weight of
15.06 atomic mass units (a.m.u.), namely, 7.47 times the specific weight of
conventional Hydrogen that has the specific weight of 2.016 a.m.u. (Figure 1).
2) In March 2001 SpectraLab of Largo, Florida,
conducted analyses on the chemical composition of the same species of Hydrogen
tested by
Adsorption Research Laboratory via the use of Fourier Transform
Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FTIRS) and other equipment. All
measurements were normalized, air contamination was removed, and
the lower detection limit was identified as being 0.01\%. SpectraLab then
released a signed statement according to which said species is
composed of 99.2\% Hydrogen, the rest being apparently given by 0.78\% methane
and traces of other substances (Figure 2).
3) In April 2001, Air Toxic Laboratory of Folsom, California, subjected the same
sample of Hydrogen used in the preceding two tests to Gas Chromatographic
Mass Spectrometric (GC-MS) scans via the use of a HP GC model number 5890 and a HP
MS model number 5972. Air Toxic Laboratory then released a signed statement with
computer print-outs of the scans showing the species to be composed of a dominant
peak at about 2 a.m.u. representing Hydrogen, plus numerous additional peaks in
macroscopic percentages that are unidentifiable by the computer search among
known molecules (Figure 3).
The above analyses were repeated at different laboratories by
confirming the indicated results. For instance, SpectraLab repeated
the measurement of specific weight of the new species by
confirming the value of 15.06 a.m.u. obtained by Adsorption
Research Laboratory; the FTIRS tests done by Spectra Lab were
repeated at Adsorption Research Laboratory by confirming the content of 99.2\%
Hydrogen; and the GC-MS scans of Air Toxic Laboratory were repeated by other
laboratories confirming the presence of a major peak representing $H_2$ plus a
series of unidentifiable peaks.
Santilli called the new species MagneHydrogen (with chemical symbol MH to distinguish it from
$H_2$) because derived from Magnegas, thus having similar magnetic polarizations also described
below. MH is clearly important for the emerging new Hydrogen Era because: 1) The increased
specific weight permits a corresponding reduction of storage volume, thus avoiding the expensive
cryogenic liquefaction of Hydrogen currently needed to achieve sufficient range by
BMW, GC and other Hydrogen fueled
cars; 2) Underwater electric arcs are much more efficient in the separation of water
than electrolysis, thus implying a major reduction in Hydrogen cost; 3) The new
species of Hydrogen is contained as a mixture with other gases, thus implying
additional cost reductions compared to other methods of Hydrogen production based
on the break-down of its valence bond with other atoms, as it is the case for electrolysis or the
reformation of fossil fuels; 4) The magnetic polarizations contained in MH seal by induction
containers walls, thus decreasing the known Hydrogen storage caused by seepage; and 5) The
residual fuel in MG following MH separation is very rich in Oxygen originating from liquids
(rather than from the atmosphere), thus reducing the depletion of atmospheric Oxygen caused by the
combustion of ordinary $H_2$, an environmental problem of Hydrogen combustion known as "oxygen
depletion" (see www.magnegas.com for detail).
In view of the above environmental significance, interested chemists are encouraged to repeated
measurements 1), 2) and 3) under certain guidelines provided in below. Magnegas can be easily
obtained by its manufacturer or reproduced via reactors described in details in
www.magnegas.com. The separation of the new species of Hydrogen from magnegas can be easily done
via the molecular seeving techniques identified above, or via the assistance of Adsorption
Research Laboratory of Dublin, Ohio. Measurements on specific weight and Hydrogen content on the
species so obtained are routine and can be done at various chemical laboratories. In addition to
that, samples of the new species of Hydrogen can be obtained by the author for independent use by
interested chemists.
It should be indicated upfront that MagneHydrogen is an anomalous species, whose first
and perhaps most significant anomaly is that of having a {\it variable specific weight} since the
latter depends on the method used for its production (e.g., how many times MG is passed
through the zeolites). In fact, Santilli suggested the symbol of MH for the new species, in lieu
of the expected $H_15$, precisely to emphasize that aspect. As a consequence, the reproduction of
exactly the specific weight 15.06 a.m.u. has a marginal significance, if any. What is significant
is the reproduction of an essentially pure Hydrogen species whose specific weight is a {\it
multiple}
of the standard value 2.016 a.m.u. since that is the condition establishing true novelty.
2. The New Chemical Species of Santilli Magnecules.
The most important
scientific implication of the new species of magneHydrogen is that it establishes the birth of a
basically new chemical species, that is, a species characterized by a bond that cannot possibly
be of valence type.
In fact, Hydrogen has only {\it one valence electron.} As a consequence, any interpretations of
the new Hydrogen species via valence bonds in any of their various forms and nomenclatures are
not plausible, besides having no visible value due to the
absence of a {\it numerical} interpretation of the data {\it without} the rather
fashionable assumption of esoteric new forms of valence
lacking a clearly identified {\it attractive force} causing the bond.
Therefore, Santilli's identification of the new species of MH mandates, apparently for the first
time in chemistry, the search for {\it basically new bonds not of valence type.}
With the understanding that the final identification of the structure of MH will require
considerable time, the second objective of this note is to report that, following a
laborious search by the author, the most plausible hypothesis for the quantitative interpretation
of the experimental data of Section 1 is given by the new chemical species of {\it Santilli
magnecules} [1].
For the case of gases, magnecules can be defined as
clusters of individual atoms (such as H, C, O, etc.), radicals
(such as O-H, C-H, etc.), C-O in single valence bond, C=O in double valence
bonds, and ordinary molecules (such as H$_2$, CO in triple valence bonds,
H$_{2}$O, etc.), all bonded together by attractive forces among opposite
magnetic polarities originating in toroidal polarizations of the orbitals of at
least some of the peripheral atomic electrons when exposed to sufficiently strong
(electric and) magnetic fields.
Stated in elementary language, natural distributions of electron orbitals in all
space directions possess no well defined magnetic field. However, when the
same electrons are caused to orbit within a toroid, quantum electrodynamics
predicts the creation of a magnetic field with polarities North-South along the
symmetry axis of the toroid. Santilli magnecules are merely given by two or more
atoms with said polarization of their orbitals bonded together by opposing
magnetic polarities North-South-North-South-etc. In short magnecules can be solely predicted via
the use of quantum electrodynamics, thus having a credibility beyond doubt.
The clusters of the new species of magnecules are identifiable by suitably
selected Gas Chromatographers, Mass Spectrometers, GC-MS (Figure 4), operated according to
procedures indicated in the next section. A given MS peak with a given a.m.u. value constitutes a
Santilli magnecule when it remains unidentified by the computer search among all known
ordinary molecules and, when tested under InfraRed Detectors (IRD), said peak
admits no IR signatures other that those of its constituents at lower a.m.u.
value (Figure 5). For brevity we cannot here reproduce the numerous additional
measurements and experimental evidence provided in Ref. [1].
The absence of an IR signature, specifically, at the large a.m.u. value of the
peak (rather than at the smaller a.m.u. values of its constituents) is
crucial for the detection of Santilli magnecules, since it establishes the lack
of valence character of the bond (see
again Figure 4), since valence bonds with perfect spherical symmetry (as
needed for no IR signature) are practically impossible for large atomic masses.
The identification of the new species of magnecules finally requires the
occurrence of physical conditions necessary for their creation. By taking into
consideration the existing literature (see, e.g., refs. [3a,3b] and large number
of papers quoted therein), A. K. Aringazin [3c] conducted an in depth study on
the toroidal polarization of atomic orbitals (reviewed in Appendix 8A of Ref.
[1]), and confirmed the need of very big values of electric and magnetic fields, exactly
as predicted by quantum electrodynamics.
Santilli created the new species of magnecules detected in the scans of Figures 4
and 5 by flowing a liquid through a submerged electric arc (U.S. Patents numbers
6,673,322; 6,663,752; 6,540,966; and 6,183,604.
, and other patents pending). The liquid molecules are
decomposed by the arc, and then mostly ionized, resulting in the formation of a
plasma at about 10,000$^o$ F around the tips of the electrodes. Since the magnetic field B of an
electric arc $M = I/r$ (see Figure 6) is directly proportional to the DC current I and inversely
proportional to the distance r, it is easy to see that at atomic distances of
$10^{-8}$ cm from a DC arc with $10^3$ A, orbitals are exposed to magnetic fields
up to $10^{11} Gauss$, thus being amply sufficient to deform conventional
spherical distributions into toroidal forms (see [1] for details).
Moreover, calculations originally done by Santilli [1] and confirmed by M. G.
Kucherenko and A. K. Aringazin [3] have established that {\it the magnetic field of
a toroidal polarized Hydrogen atom is 1,415 times bigger than the nuclear
magnetic field.} Therefore, the new species of magnecules not only identify
concretely the {\it attractive force} needed for the bond (identification absent
in several models of esoteric valence bonds), but also identified its {\it numerical value,} thus
increasing the plausibility of the new species.
Needless to say, toroidal polarizations are, individually,
highly unstable because they disappear immediately following the termination of
the external field, in which case orbitals reacquire their natural spherical
distributions. However, once two polarized atoms are bonded to each other via
opposing magnetic polarities, the bond is indeed stable at ambient temperature and
pressure, because rotations, vibrations and other motions due to temperature
occur for the bonded couple as a whole. The same argument holds for bonds of
more than two atoms, resulting in clusters conceptually illustrated in Figure 7.
Nowadays there are several years of evidence on the stability of
gases with magnecular structure when stored at pressures up to $5,000$ pounds per
square inches (psi) and at ambient temperature (see www.magnegas.com for
details). It is known that, as it is the case for all magnetic effects,
magnecules must admit a temperature at which their bonds cease to exist
(Curie Temperature for magnecules). However, such a temperature is not known for
the available gases due to their combustible character. It is however known that
combustion eliminates all magnecular bonds since all exhausts tested until now
have resulted to possess a fully conventional molecular structure.
It should be noted that the geometry of the DC electric arc is particularly
suited for the creation of the new magnecular bond. As illustrated in Figure 6, said
geometry is such to: 1) Achieve the needed toroidal polarization (illustrated
in the figure with circles perpendicular to the local magnetic field line);
2) Naturally align polarized atoms next to each other with opposite magnetic
polarities North-South-North-etc.; and 3) Force polarized atoms one
against the other due to the magnetic field itself and other reasons
(such as the Casimir effect).
Due to the presence in the arc of both electric and magnetic fields, Santilli called the
new species "electromagnecules" [1] in order to distinguish it from
the ordinary species of "molecules." In view of the dominance of magnetic
over electric effects, the new species is now known as {\it
Santilli magnecules.} Gases having a magnecular structure are
called {\it MagneGases} and are now in industrial production and
sale [1].
One should keep in mind the insistence in the {\it atomic} (rather than
molecular) character of the polarizations here considered and related bonds [1].
As such, the new bonds apply irrespective of whether dealing with paramagnetic
or diamagnetic molecules.
As an illustration, the Hydrogen molecule is
known to be {\it diamagnetic,} thus being unable to acquire any appreciable {\it
total} magnetic polarization. However, quantum electrodynamics
establishes that individual {\it atoms} of a Hydrogen molecule can indeed acquire
a toroidal polarization of their orbitals, thus permitting the bond at the
{\it atomic} (rather than molecular) level, while preserving the
total null value of the magnetic field for a polarized $H_2$ molecule (see Fig. 7).
A quantitative interpretation of the experimental data of Section 1 is then
straightforward. By denoting with the symbol $-$ conventional valence
bonds and with the symbol $\times$ the new magnecular bonds, all species of
Figure 3 can be quantitative explained as clusters with structures of the type
$ H_3 = (H-H)\times H$, $H_4 = (H-H)\times (H-H)$, $H_5 = (H-H)\times (H-H)\times
H$, etc.
In turn, the latter feature explains the occurrence indicated at the
end of Section 1, namely, that MH has a variable specific weight depending on the
various characteristics of its production, including the power of the arc, liquid
flow, ambient pressure, etc. It is evident that the variable nature of the
specific weight is an additional strong evidence excluding a valence bond in favor
of a basically new chemical species.
Note that the species $H_3$ is routinely detected in GC-MS scans and appears to
be created by the ionization process itself needed for the detection, rather than being present in
the original substance. Santilli magnecules offer the new interpretation of $H_3$ as
being composed of an H$_2$ molecule with a {\it
magnetically} (rather than valence) bonded H atom, as illustrated in the top of Figure 7. This
new interpretation is compatible with the well established evidence that {\it valance bonds occurs
in pairs and not in triplets} (see Ref. [1], Section 8.4, for detail). At any
rate, the geometry creating the species $H_3$ in the ionization process of GC-MS
scans is essentially the same as that for the creation of Santilli magnecules
(Figure 6).
The known existence of the species $H_3$ provides
an evident support for the expectation of the heavier species $H_4$, $H_5$, etc.,
with the clarification that the creation of the latter species requires magnetic
fields dramatically stronger than those of the GC-MS ionization process [2],
precisely as done by Santilli in the creation of his magnecules.
The lack of detection of methane by the GC-MS scans while detected
in 0.78\% by the FTIRS tests constitutes yet another illustration
of the novelty of the field. In fact, $CH_4$ cannot exist in the
original gas because created at the $10,000^o$ F of the
electric arc. Also, methane could not have been adsorbed by the
molecular sieving process due to insufficient intermolecular sizing. Assuming
that, somehow, the $CH_4$ passage escaped the analysts, the macroscopic presence of
0.78\% methane should have been detected by the GC-MS, while such scans
reveals no appreciable peak at 16 a.m.u.
Even assuming that all these diversified
inconsistencies could be somehow bypassed via machinations to salvage valence
bonds in the unknown 0.78\%, the final resolution is provided by {\it the absence
of the IR signature belonging to the methane.} Therefore, the species with 16 a.m.u. may well
{\it appear} to the analyst as being $CH_4$ while being in reality a magnecule purely composed of H -atoms. Needless to say, this is presented simple as a plausible hypothesis to resolve the numerous contradictions for the $CH_4$ interpretation, with the understanding that the final resolution of the case may require years of additional tests and theoretical research.
Note that {\it Santilli magnecules are solely based on conventional
quantum electrodynamics applied to conventional atomic structures, are fully
compatible with conventional quantum mechanics, and require no assumption of
esoteric and hypothetical bonds often without a clearly identified attractive
force.} As such, Santilli magnecule provide a plausible and quantitative
interpretation of the measurements of Section 1. Alternative theoretical
interpretations are solicited, provided that they have the same
plausibility, permit an equally quantitative representation of the data and, above all, are
not based on hypothetical and unverified new valence nomenclatures without
a clearly identified {\it attractive force} necessary for a credible
interpretation of the bond.
Needless to say, the number of intriguing and novel, open problems is endless.
For instance, it is known that {\it gases with magnecular structure have dramatic
departures from the perfect gas law} due to a little known phenomenon tentatively
called by Santilli {magnecular accretion} [1]. The phenomenon is essentially due to
the capability of magnecules that are distinct at a given pressures to bond
together into a bigger ,magnecule at higher pressures, thus resulting in the
expectation (to be verified) of {\it gases whose Avogadro number
decreases with the increase of the pressure.}
Yet another anomalous feature is that {\it gases with magnecular structure have a
thermal content that is not constant as per ordinary gases, but varies with its
use.} As an illustration, MH burns with a rather cold flame. Yet, MH is capable of
instantly melting bricks [4]. As a
result, the thermal content for the melting of bricks cannot possibly be
reconciled with the thermal content of the flame. This is the reason all efforts to
measure the thermal content of MH have failed until now to provide a definite
results, at least not a result reconcilable with conventional thermal
knowledge. We can only state that the thermal content of MH is
definitely bigger than that of $H_2$, but its numerical value for the species of
MH presented in this note could not be identified. Intriguingly, {\it in practical
industrial uses, the existence of a variable thermal content in a gas is
considered evidence of its magnecular structure,} trivially, because combustible
gases with a conventional molecular structure have a fixed thermal content.
Yet another intriguing but vastly unknown aspect is that {\it the cryogenic
liquefaction of MagneHydrogen is expected to occur at a temperature considerably
bigger than that for ordinary Hydrogen,} although its explicit value is unknown
at this writing. This additional expected anomaly is due to the fact that, being
aggregates of atoms at short distances, magnecules may well result to be a new form
of liquids. The expectation is also due to the fact that magnecular
accretions increase, not only with the increase of the pressure (as indicated
above) but also with the decrease of the temperature.
Due to the evident industrial and scientific significance of these new intriguing
open problems, interested colleagues are encouraged to study them, provided that
the emphasis is in the prior conduction of {\experimental measurements,} with the
understanding that theoretical elaborations of the above problems based on
conventional molecular settings have no scientific value at all.
In closing it should be indicated that MagneGas and MagneHydrogen are not, by far, the sole
substances identified until now with a magnecular structure. As a known example, Ref. [4] presents
experimental evidence on a new gaseous and combustible form of water with peaks between 2 and
16 a.m.u. as well as in excess of the biggest possible valence bond (32 a.m.u.) which peaks simply
cannot be explained as any conceivable valence bond between $H$ and $O$, yet admitting an
immediate quantitative interpretation via the new magnecular bond. More generally (although lesser
known due to understandable corporate secrecy), large industrial investments are under way to
develop new versions of fossil fuels with a magnecular, rather than a molecular structure, since
such a replacement eliminates the real enemy of the environment, the hydrocarbon, in favor of a
structure with a dramatically cleaner combustion while continuing to use fossil fuels as basic
feedstoc [5].
3. Difficulties in Detecting Santilli Magnecules via Molecular
Methods.
The third motivation of this note is to voice a word of caution for
colleagues interested in their independent detection of Santilli magnecules, because the
currently available equipment has been developed for the detection of the {\it different} species
of molecules. These difficulties also illustrate the reason why magnecules were not discovered
since the detection of molecules about 150 years ago. An outline of these difficulties is
essential to prevent receptive colleagues from venturing invalid beliefs of counter-measurements.
A {\bf first problem} is due to the fact that different molecules have clearly
different features characterized by different peaks in the MS or
IR scans. Therefore, one single detection (for instance, one via a GC-MS) is
generally sufficient for molecular identifications. While fully valid for
molecules, this procedure is no longer acceptable for Santilli magnecules whose
identification requires the use of {\it at least two different
detections.}
For instance, the detection in the FTIRS of a peak representing methane is no
longer sufficient for a scientific identification, and at least one second
identification is necessary to avoid "experimental beliefs." As
indicated earlier, methane detected in the FTIRS scans of Figure 2 was not
confirmed in the GC-MS scans of Figure 3. In any case, methane cannot be
present in 0.5 nm zeolites and cannot survive at the $10,000^o$ F of the plasma
creating the gas. Similarly, the detection in a GC-MS alone of a peak at 4
a.m.u. is no longer sufficient for a scientific identification of the peak with
Helium, because, until disproved, the possibility that the 4 a.m.u. peak could
be the magnecule
$H_4 = (H-H)\times (H-H)$ cannot be dismissed lightly, e.g., in forensic
procedures.
The best instrument recommended for the detection of magnecules (as well
as for conventional molecules) in gases is a GC-MS necessarily equipped with
IRD [1]. The GC-MS/IRD first permits the identification of a peak in the mass
scans, and then permits the study of the specific peak considered under the IR
scan, resulting in a dual measurement of the same peak. For instance, analysts
Louis A. Dee and Norman Wade of NTS laboratories at the McClellan
Air Force Base in Sacramento, California, selected for the scans of Figures 4 and
5 an HP GC model 5890, an HP MS model 5972, and an HP IRD
model 5965.
The use of two
separate instruments, that is, the GC-MS and, separately, the IRD for the test
of the same gas is strongly discouraged, because not leading to final analytic
results, again, because the peaks identified in the GC-MS are not generally kept
in the IRD when separately used, resulting in two generally different
analytic results whose reconciliation is reduced to theoretical conjectures one
way or the other.
The presence in the GC-MS of the IRD is truly crucial for the detection of
magnecules. This is due to the appearance of numerous peaks in the GC-MS
that, according to long standing practice by chemists, may be subjected
to an interpretation via one given molecule or another. The
main function of the IRD is to show that {\it a magnecular peak
has no IR signature at its atomic weight} (see Figure 5), thus excluding the
possibility that such a peak can represent a molecule due to its
generally large atomic weight for which no perfect spherical
symmetry is credible.
Needless to say, magnecules do have IR signatures for the {\it
constituents} of the considered peak at much smaller a.m.u. values. For instance,
the MS peak of Figure 4 at 257 a.m.u. may have
a clear IR signature for $CO$, another for CO$_2$, another for H$_{2}$O, another
for C-H, etc., all signatures belonging to
molecules and/or radicals actually existing in the peak considered. The
point is that {\it these signatures do not occur at the 257
a.m.u. of the considered MS peak and, consequently, they cannot
possibly identify the nature of that peak.} When the IRD is attached to the
GC-MS, its setting at 247 a.m.u. gives the IR signature of that peak and not of
its constituents.
A {\bf second problem} in the detection of magnecules is that
contemporary analytic equipment are designed for fast and efficient commercial
detections, for which scope they generally have strong ionization or other
detection processes. The full validity of these instruments for the detection of
molecules is, again, out of question here, because valence bonds are very strong
and the ionization energy is known to be below the valence fragmentation value.
This second problem originates when these molecular instruments are used to
attempt the detection of magnecules, because their bond is weaker than the
molecular one, and the ionization energy of the instruments can be bigger than
the fragmentation energy, in which case the instruments produce beautiful
results, although solely applicable to the {\it fragments,} and not to
the species itself.
In the absence of an analytic instrument specifically designed to detect
molecules and magnecules, the only recommended solution is the selection of the
detection process and its setting admitting the smallest possible fragmentation.
For instance, to reach the scans of Figures 4 and 5, analysts Louis A. Dee and
Norman Wade operated their GC-MS/IRD at the lowest ionization voltage, and the
same approach was used by the analysts of Air Toxic Laboratory to reach the scan
of Figure 3. It is an instructive exercise for interested analysts to personally
eyewitness the fact that GC-MS scans of gases with magnecular structure
conducted at minimal and maximal ionization voltages produce substantially
different mass spectra.
Another illustration of the difficulties in detecting magnecules with
molecular instruments is given by the fact that flame ionization
generally detects no magnecular structure at all, because the
temperature of the ionization method can be bigger than the Curie temperature of
the species, under which temperature all magnetic polarizations disappears
according to a well established physical law.
These are the reasons why, to reach the scans of Figures 4 and 5, analysts Louis
A. Dee and Norman Wade used their GC-MS/IRD at the lowest possible operating
temperature. In addition, they even cooled cryogenically the feeding line to
assure the lack of alteration of the species due to ambient
temperature.
A {\bf third problem} is caused by the use of micrometric feeding lines whose
applicability to conventional molecular gases is, again, out of
question, while the scientific detection of magnecules require the use of the
largest possible feeding line, e.g., those with 0.5 mm diameter. Being
originally sceptical on this issue, the author has personally eyewitnessed the
fact that a GC-MS with a feeding line of 0.1 mm provided no scan all all, while
the sole change of the feeding line into one of 0.53 mm diameter yielded a
large mass spectrum.
The only interpretation the author can provide on this occurrence is that
reported by Santilli [1], namely, that feeding lines with very small sectional
areas are clogged up with magnecules attached to the walls of the lines because
of the well known magnetic induction, thus resulting in the possible occlusion
of the line itself. In conclusion, the use of very small feeding lines generally
prevents the species to be tested from even entering into the instrument, let
alone conducting any measurement of any scientific value.
A {\bf fourth problem} is given by the elusion time that, in contemporary
commercial instruments, is generally reduced to a minimum to increase
productivity. Again, the use of GC-MS with small elusion times is fully
acceptable for the detection of molecules, because their separation is assured
by the high ionization voltage and other procedures. However, the use of short
elusion times generally prevents the detection of magnecules. In fact,
to reach the scan of Figures 4 and 5, analysts Louis A. Dee and Norman Wade set
their GC-MS/IRD at the maximal allowed elusion time of 21 minutes. As reported by
Santilli in Ref. [1], the same gas tested with the same instrument but
operated at another laboratory for less than one minute elusion time yielded
the grouping of the various peaks of Figure 4 into one single peak (see Figures
8.13 and 8.14, pages 346-347, Ref. [1]), in which case no scientific
identification of the structure of the species is possible.
Yet {\bf other problems} in the identification of magnecules are given by
protracted use of procedures fully established for the detection of
molecules. For instance, analysts customarily check the blank of the instrument
before and after the scans, to verify that the instrument is properly working.
Following the removal of the gas from the instrument, in the event the blank
shows the detection of anomalous peaks, the entire analysis is usually rejected
on grounds that the instrument failed to operate properly.
The validity of this procedure
for the detection of molecules is, again, out of questions. However, for the case
of magnecules the occurrence is exactly the opposite as that for molecules. In
the event there is no anomalous peak in the blank following the removal of the
gas, the analysis is generally defective and should be discarded, e.g., because
the species was too large for the selected feeding line and, therefore, the only
species that entered into the instrument was that of the molecular {\it
constituents,} or the magnecular structure was destroyed by the
detection process. In reality, the presence of anomalous peaks in the blank
following the removal of the gas is another direct experimental evidence of the
magnetic polarization of the species due to its adhesion to the
interior of the instrument via magnetic induction, thus implying the presence of
residual gas in the instrument following its removal.
The internal adhesion of gases with magnecular structures is actually such that,
following their use to detect magnecules, instruments generally fail to provide
routine detections of ordinary molecules, unless they are flushed with an inert
gas at high temperature until they regain the standard blank in the absence of
detections.
The above and other analytic difficulties
illustrate the reason why Santilli magnecules escaped
identification throughout the 20-th century. The same difficulties illustrate the
need of extreme caution in venturing a conventional molecular interpretations
for any species in which the new magnecular structure is suspected.
The reader should be aware that, in addition to the original, rather vast
experimental evidence on the existence of Santilli magnecules presented in
monograph [1], and the new experimental evidence presented in this note, rather
vast additional evidence is under finalization for presentation in subsequent
papers. Admittedly, the theoretical interpretation of the new chemical species
as originating from the toroidal polarization of orbitals is only the most
plausible at this writing and, as such, must be subjected to scientific
scrutiny.
The important point established by the experimental evidence here considered
is the existing in nature of {\it new bonds not due to valence,} a
result that is {\it per se} a momentous contribution by Santilli to chemist,
besides the achievement of a numerically exact representation of
experimental data on conventional molecules that preceding the discovery of
magnecules [1].

*********************************************
Dr. xxxxxx from yyyy sent us a note dated September 16, 2004, in which he requested to know how they [the members of the International Committee on Scientific Ethics] have been selected, and, without volunteering his birth certificate for full identification and/or his CV for professional qualifications, requested William F. Pound your CV. Since you are a ''neighbour'' of Dr. Santilli, I started to wonder.
While thanking Dr. xxxx for his interest in the case, I would like to indicate that membership to the International Committee on Scientific Ethics is open to all qualified scholars provided that they have a clear record of dedication to scientific democracy, a condition often implying conflicts with academia, thus reducing qualification for membership to a rarity.
Also, I feel obliged to indicate that I have an international reputation for being fearless in putting my name in public denunciations of scientific misconduct, as established by various documents in this web site as well as the references below [1,2,3] and quotations therein. Therefore, I want to reassure Dr. xxxx that, positively, I do not need a pseudonym to express my views. At the same time, my technical assistance in Pound's comments and Kadeisvili's paper is transparent, it is formally acknowledged, it is here admitted with pride.
After these clarifications, I would like to express, most respectfully but candidly, my reservations on the note by Dr. xxx because of the suppression of serious scientific problems via the age old technique of diversions into peripheral aspects without any value, not even minimal or indirect .
It is appropriate here to recall that the fight depicted in this web page deals with the future resolution of our alarming environmental problems. The main issue is the excessive strength of the now old ''molecular bonds" characterizing fossil fuels, whose strength is the ultimate origin of environmental pollution due to the impossibility of a full combustion. Therefore, the effort is toward the replacement of ''molecular bonds'' with a basically new and much weaker bond of the same atoms of a fossil fuel, tentatively called ''magnecular bonds'', as a necessary condition to allow complete combustion with consequential improvement of the exhaust.
The achievement of the needed weaker bonds has been proved by analytic laboratories around the world and, as limpidly reported by Prof. Kadeisvili, it is established beyond scientific or otherwise ÒcredibleÓ doubt by the detection of peaks in the GC-MS in large amu units which peaks have no IR signature at their amu value, said peaks having instead numerous IR signatures but for much smaller amu values, thus being identifying the CONSTITUENTS of said peak.
The denial or the dismissal of this experimental evidence without providing clear counter-measurements conducted, as the original measurements, in independent analytic laboratories and signed, as the original measurements, by the laboratory direct, is vulgar scientific corruption. The lack of admission that the bond of the indicated peaks cannot be of valence type, thus establishing fundamental novelty in chemical structures, is also vulgar scientific corruption, particularly when proffered by self-proclaimed "experts", because valence bonds at large amu value must produce IR signatures due to the impossibility of achieving perfect spheridicity.
The problem underlying the episode here treated is that the admission of a basically new chemical species is drastically against organized academic interests in quantum chemistry. Therefore, it is my opinion that our human society will not resolve our alarming environmental problems without first addressing issues of scientific ethics.
I am writing these words from my office in Florida turned into a real bunker with all windows and doors boarded up with metal panels due to the chain of six hurricanes in a few weeks until now. A few months ago, The Economist published a supposedly secret report from the Pentagon establishing that the Gulf Stream will eventually stop flowing under current trends, at which time England in winter will become a new Iceland (with torrid summers, by contrast). Following hundreds of tornados in winters with hundreds of deaths per year, it is now certain that the southern part of the U. S. A. and numerous other regions throughout the world will become uninhabitable, the only debatable issues being the time,
Under these alarming environmental problems, I would like to encourage Dr. xxx to ignore vacuous peripheral issues and provide instead his contribution toward a resolution of said problems, which resolution can only be achieved via the laborious process of trials and error necessarily based on true scientific democracy for qualified technical inquiries that are nowadays generally suppressed by the scientific establishment the world over.
In short, the rejection by the American Chemical Society and the U. S. National Science Foundation of Prof. Kadeisvili outstanding and well written paper on a possible solution of our environmental problems supported by vast and incontrovertible experimental evidence, rejection perpetrated over several years with pseudo-reviews that are simply shameful for all of the human society, is another manifestation of the internationally known and denounced ethical decay of the U. S. scientific community generally attempting to control science for personal financial gains via a nazi-type suppression of scientific democracy for qualified inquiries perpetrated via academic power rather than scientific veritas, which ethical decay has now reached such incredible proportions, due to the complete lack of control by the rest of the country, to be on a clear suicidal pattern as well as to constitute a serisous threat to the orderly advance in scientific knowledge by the rest of the world.
Sincerely
Ruggero Maria Santilli
