In further pursuit of commonplace, but often overlooked, energy anomalies - ostensible violations of the laws of thermodynamics - here is yet another one, also based on a most unusual chemical - HOOH.

It is my contention that the unusual properties of HOOH may be the "expediting technology" for enhancing many alternative energy schemes. Apologies to readers who are not convinced of this yet, for usurping forum bandwidth; but for whatever reason, the October postings to vortex have dwindled anyway, so consider this as "light-weight" filler, if nothing else.

The main alternative energy technology for which peroxide may be a key future building block (synergistically) is *wind energy.* HOOH provides an ideal intermediate storage (liquid) and enhancement step for windmills, especially in areas without a "grid infrastructure". The added complexity of a "systems approach" is worth it. More on that in a later post.

The other day, information was also posted here (with no subject line, despite repeated attempts so it is not searchable in the archives) about the broad subject of "entropic explosion" which is an "explosion without heat." About as close to a "free energy" anomaly as mainstream science admits to, these days (that situation is soon to change).

The following is similar to entropic explosion. It is not a subset of that topic, but there are cross-connections. This general process is called "chemi-luminescence" - which is the strong emission of light, with or without heat. One could call this super high efficiency subset of chemiluminescence: the "firefly effect" and YES, the human version is based on biomimicry.

If you don't know what "glow sticks" are, and especially with Halloween coming up, here is a site that explains the "supernatural magic" of this device, but actually the technology behind light-sticks is simple:

Glow sticks are based on a chemical process which releases copious light, and for surprisingly long time-spans, but produce negligible heat. This is sometimes referred to as "cold light" to contrast it with incandescent light - that which is associated with combustion, fire, or high temperature sources like bulb filaments.

There are three chemicals involved, two of which are kept separated by a breakable barrier. One is a phenyl oxalate ester, which is mixed with a dye. The other separated reaction chemical is that pivotal chemical: hydrogen peroxide. The dye is what actually releases the light, after heatless stimulation.

When you break the barrier keeping the chemicals apart, the phenyl oxalate ester and peroxide mix to produce an unstable compound which then transfers its chemical energy to the dye. The dye is the type used in posters that glow in the ultraviolet, the blacklight spectrum made famous to many Vo's by Mills' hydrino, but instead - here the glow energy comes from the unstable compound rather than from ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet light is in fact much higher energy light than normal visible light - so the natural expectation is that copious heat "should be" involved. The common type of UV laser in fact produces about 50 units of waste heat for every unit-equivalent of light.

Anyway, pick up a couple of glow ticks for the grand-kids and have yourself an enlightened Halloween, for a change.

With the flurry of recent OU announcements, perhaps this one will be considered by future historians to be a hallowed event, at least when the chapter on alternative-energy is being written.
