Gravity Of Life (Part1)

Website: http://www.inclinedbedtherapy.com
A video showing how circulation is caused by density changes in fluids. This discovery occurs in all living species, all use gravity to drive the circulation in trees, plants, animals, humans and even the Ocean Currents by acting upon minute changes in density due to evaporation / transpiration.

This discovery helps us to understand how a non-living physical force generates circulation, breathing life into every living organism, including you and I.

This video sets out some simple experiments that illustrate a powerful yet hitherto overlooked circulatory process capable of lifting water from ground level beyond 24 metres vertical without any artificial aids. There is no pump involved; yet water flows effortlessly like the sap in a tree to great heights.

These experiments will amaze your Science Teachers and cause them to question what they are teaching in class. Mr Smith, the science teacher at Paignton Community College said when watching water flowing up to a third floor window at the College; 'I have no problem with this experiment, this is exactly how water is lifted by trees, but what can I do about it? I still have to teach the curriculum.'

Doctor Choi in the engineering department at Exeter University after hearing my theory during our meeting looked out of the window of his office and said; 'For the first time, I understand a tree'.

Two vascular surgeons from Torbay Hospital after witnessing the experiments and hearing the theory replied; ' I thought pure science was dead, yet here it is on my kitchen table'. Another quote went; 'This fit's with everything I know about Human Physiology and just has to be correct'. I was also asked what would happen to the pressures inside the vessels of the leg following exercise. I replied; 'there would be an increase in positive pressure in the arteries and a decreased pressure in the veins, according to my theory. They replied, this is exactly what does happen and until now we have not fully understood it.

Professor Edzard Urnst at Exeter University following a short introduction to himself and several doctors wrote. We were truly fascinated!

I have a huge collection of promises of further investigation and possible clinical trials being conducted to test the theory further. None have been forthcoming!

A further video will follow shortly showing a scaled down version of the Brixham Experiment which was reported in the local press, witnessed by forestry senior management and scientists, yet ignored since 1995.

The Brixham Experiment also featured in another video show the true power of this phenomenon.

The following review came from a letter I wrote to the Late Professor H T Hammel,
who was a member of the Max Plank Institute.



Within a 2 weeks I received his reply

INDIANA UNIVERSITY

SCHOOL OF MEDIICINE date September 6/ 1995

Dear Mr Fletcher:

I received the information you sent me regarding your ideas about fluid
transport in trees, in tubing and in the vascular system in humans.

I will study your ideas and comment upon them as soon as possible. A Quick
scan of your Brixham experiment prompts me to ask if you conducted this
experiment with boiled water without any solute added to the tubing on
either side of the central point which you raise 24 meters? I expect that
you could raise the tubing to the same height with or without solute in the
water. In any case , your experiment confirms that clean water (water that
is unbroken water, water that is without a single minute bubble of vapour)
can support tension of several hundreds of atmospheres. The record tension
obtained experimentally is 270 atmospheres. At 10 degrees C. (c.f. Briggs,
L. Limiting negative pressure of water. Journal of Applied Physics 21:
721-722 1950).

I expect even this tension at brake point can be exceeded by careful
cleansing of the water, to remove even the most minute region of gas phase.
When the water is already broken, as occurs when gas is entrapped on
particulate matter in ordinary water, the water will expand around even a
single break when tension (negative Pressure) is applied to the water. When
you boil the water, prior to applying (2.4-1) ATM negative pressure to the
water in the highest point of the tubing, you eliminate some of these breaks
in ordinary water. I expect that dissolving NaCl or other solutes in the
water will have little or no effect on the way you measure the tensile
strength of water.

I am enclosing some reprints that may interest you. Some of these deal with
negative pressures we have measured in tall trees, mangroves and desert
shrubs. Other reprints deal with how solutes alter water in aqueous
solutions and how colloidal solutes (proteins) affect the flux of protein
free fluid between plasma in capillaries and interstitial fluid.

Sincerely H.T. Hammel Ph.D.

HI Andrew,

I talked about this with my husband and he is going to watch the videos. He said he could lift the bed no problem and that it worth gving it a try.

Thanks,

Andrea

[AndrewKFletcher]

Thanks Andrea, please give around 4 weeks for the therapy to begin to take full effect.

First 2-3 weeks can bring aches, pains, stiff neck and maybe an increase in spasm. This is the normal run, you may be lucky and miss the introductory aches n pains.

Andrew: Have you tried this with a bigger than 6mm tube? How significant is the pipes internal diameter?

[AndrewKFletcher]

I have tried it with smaller diameter tubes, but 6 mm is the largest tube I have tested it with. 6mm is a huge difference from the size of xylem and phloem in the tree, Capillary action relies on even smaller tubes than those found in trees!

An argument against this observation was raised on the Nakedscientist forum that this would not work with a metal tube, though no one has tried it yet.

The trade off for diameter is the weight of the increased volume of water in both sides of the exp

[justinwyer]

Hi Andrew, let us not forget that the ocean currents are in fact a heat transfer system, the heat energy which powers this system is provided by the sun and the earths rotation, since it is an open system (until the sun dies) the entropy cannot rise. And so the ocean currents go round and round.

I under stand that it is an example of density flow, but some form of energy needs to move the dense water to the entry point whether by heat or yourself moving it to the ceiling.

[AndrewKFletcher]

In the case of a tree, a downward flow in the phloem will cause a pull on the sap in the xylem resulting in a return flow. But there is another consideration. The higher density in the phloem will generate an increased pressure head of sap in the xylem forcing the growth at the tips of branches. See the sprit level experiment with a U tube and salt solution added to one side causing a change in water levels.

He put hot urine in his ice tea pitcher.....no ice tea for me thanks, do you have a Pepsi in a closed can?

[godofthemiddleearth]

So simple yet profound and controversial enough to rub academia up the wrong way.

[AndrewKFletcher]

This can be tested with a thermometer with denser solutes above less dense solutes. Thermohaline, clearly is less important than density flow when the water below is warmer than the water at the surface. This is what I was trying to show with the video of a simple sugar solution, on my Youtube account, although I did not have a thermometer to test it, it clearly shows that the denser solution below the surface cannot escape the pull of gravity to reach the surface as the fluid is heated.

[AndrewKFletcher]

It may interest you to know that it is recognised that density from evaporation around northern Europe, Alaska, Iceland and Greenland is providing the driving force for the Atlantic conveyor system. Making the ocean surface water denser, causing a massive sink of solutes that drags on the warmer less dense water from the equatorial regions. In Florida for example, temperatures at the reef have been found to be higher than at the surface of the ocean.

[AndrewKFletcher]

In the case of a tree, circulation is maintained through the leaves. transpirations main purpose is to concentrate salts and sugars at the upper part, so that gravity can drag the denser solution down. This in turn generates a pull on xylem sap that in turn pulls on the water in the soil. Incoming water from the soil is less dense than the sap at the roots so it dilutes the sap so it can be drawn up by the down flow. In autumn when leaves fall, sap is denser at the roots than leaves transpiring.
