Wave goodbye to global warming, GM and pesticides

Didn't find a thread on this...

A GROUNDBREAKING new Irish technology which could be the greatest breakthrough in agriculture since the plough is set to change the face of modern farming forever.

The technology – radio wave energised water – massively increases the output of vegetables and fruits by up to 30 per cent.

Well, that's the planet saved due to this genius of the Irish scientific community.

Indo completely duped by pseudoscience

Nice one, I'm gonna go cut some turf now I think.

The technology makes GM obsolete and also addresses the whole global warming fear that there is too much carbon dioxide in the air, by simply converting excess CO2 into edible plant mass.

What?

Anyone

Thats great news, thank God for science.

MadsL

Extensively tested in Warrenstown Agricultural College, the technology is being hailed as a modern day miracle.

Hurrah!

Can we do a Monsanto/Catholic Church on it and charge poor farmers millions for our special holy water?

MadsL

This is how it *ahem* works.

B@stards stole my idea:mad:

Mr. G

It won't get rid of global warming though

MadYaker

What journal is their work published in? Anyone have a link? Id like to read it.

Hemp i make rope fibres. Would be nice to be able to accumulate more if it was possible.

Natural volcanic activity for millennia and not man-made.

Go and collect your shared Nobel prizes.

Kew Gardens have accepted this new technology.
Great to see that Irish people developed it.

Yeah, fantastic isn't it.

Note how they are selling the technology at the watering can level and not Hyper-agricultural investor Pension Fund level.

Thank you so much, i have a tear coming from my eye. My first Nobel prize ever.

I would rather some cash funding for my work. As the paid-off global warming scientist would say.

How much will this Magic water cost per gallon ?.

Magic beans i say.

Is this the magical discovery that makes water wetter? That's the oceans saved too.

It's a load of rubbish folks. There's been no independent research done into the product and no peer review of the product exists. If it was so spectacular, there would be tons of research actually backing up their claims. When they don't engage with the scientific community on such a significant leap in technology,it is indicative of bull****ters. I also found this blog entry about the article.

Well at least you were here to inform us. Otherwise we'd believe it.

It did sound a bit too good to be true....

Oops, should have read the responses. I'll be less serious now. Bit disappointed that the solution wasn't a delorean and flux capacitor.

Second. We already have a Nobel Peace prize (EU).

In other news sarcasm still being discovered by people on the internet.

zenno

sure how could this be true anyway with radio wave energised water...

We are bombarded with energised radio-waves of all frequencies all the time and so is water/everything, so we don't need this magic water, because it is already magically electrically charged.

Say nothing though we still might be able to fool the government into buying this if we patent it soon. A magic water tax will be next.

Feel some sympathy, I'm sick so reading sarcastic comments off phone is failing miserably.

27 Mhz you say? Where did I put that CB radio?

Oddly enough it is quite difficult. Try and order one here.

Sounds like this water radio-wave energisation process is powered by another Irish company, Steorn.

MadsL

For the Technically Minded Vi~Aqua continuously applies electromagnetic radio signal to the water via either a submersed, inline or hollow antennae. The relatively long wavelength is safe in its own right although it is also confined within the body of water.

The Vi~Aqua system works by altering the natural surface charge of suspended particles and acts to modify the Zeta potential. The negative charge, induced by the applied sgnal, enhances the stability of the suspension by means of increased electrostatic repulsion between particles. This is due to the resultant double layer of ions that surround particles and vessel / pipe surfaces which are in contact with the water.

The modified "zeta - potential" facilitates improved hydration of solids and reduced surface tension of the water, thus creating the Benefits that will be see in your grass or crop.

So 'slippy' water gives you bigger crops. OK. That's not a leap.

Roger_007

If this is such a monumental breakthrough,(greatest development since the plough), why did it not make the news?
In the indo article it says that Kew Garden was involved in the development and testing. I looked up the Kew website and apparently they are so gobsmacked that they don't mention it at all. I am beginning to think that this is a story they forgot to publish on Apr 1st.:rolleyes:

MadsL

Thank you for your email dated 29 August. The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew has not endorsed the Vi-Aqua products since 2009. A recent press article in the Irish Independent that mentioned this endorsement and activities by Kew around it, was inaccurate.”

Oh. Hello.

Porky pies then Mr Vi-Aqua...
