Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a claim made by a company, Alkame, regarding the reduction of water's molecular cluster size and the increase of residual electrons. Participants explore the implications of this claim for fuel production, solubility, and other chemical properties, questioning whether it represents a genuine scientific advancement or a marketing strategy.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants express confusion about the statement regarding hydrogen bonds and molecular clusters, questioning its scientific validity and potential applications.
  • There are inquiries about whether the claims could lead to new forms of fuel or changes in water properties, such as solubility and permeability.
  • Participants request peer-reviewed articles to substantiate the company's claims, indicating skepticism about the reliability of the information provided by Alkame.
  • One participant references a historical claim about "polywater" that was debunked, suggesting caution in accepting similar claims without rigorous evidence.
  • Another participant expresses a desire for layman's explanations due to their lack of expertise in the subject matter.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally express skepticism about the scientific soundness of the claims made by Alkame, indicating a lack of consensus on whether the assertions are valid or merely marketing hype.

Contextual Notes

Participants note the absence of peer-reviewed evidence to support the claims, highlighting the need for further investigation into the scientific basis of the company's assertions.

hi all
ran across an odd statement--about water:
"Alkame has broken down the hydrogen bonds, reducing the waters molecular cluster size and increasing the residual of electrons ..."

what does this mean?can we make fuel/hydrogen? increased electrons?power?
another form of water/solubility/dilution/permeability etc? chemistry?
what?change to known science? fluid dynamics?
company makes drinking water. are they just making stuff up?they say they have patents

or am I misunderstanding? would sure feel silly

Hmm, I'd prefer to see some peer-reviewed journal articles about the parts of their process. They claim to have patents on parts of the process to make theri water drinks, but that doesn't mean much usually...

agree, completely
but, nonetheless, a curious claim.
are you thinking worth a follow up?

still the question, is the science sound? what I mean is, can this be at all possible? or a marketing ploy? I studied forest science and michelob so subject is a bit above me and the oafs in my social circle.
need to ask someone
layman's terms please, as many years since the halls of higher learning
thank you
