Looking for a parallel between “ball lightning” and ultrasonic vortices I stumbled again with the research of Russian researcher Shironosov. It’s a newly published (7 days ago according to Google Scholar) translation of a short paper presented by Shironosov in 2012. There’s considerable “word salad” that probably comes from the translation but also from the classical approach of this researcher, but in short, for this researcher the stable vortices (or resonant micro clusters) in water are the same phenomena expressed in water than ball lightning in air. The relevant paragraph is this:

“The physics of the processes of the "anomalous" properties of activated water in living and nonliving systems is complex, but, in general, is understandable. Dipole water molecules and ions, when activated, form vortices of dipoles synchronously oscillating in antiphase ensembles, dipoles, peculiar molecular “tuning forks” - Resonant Microclusters (RM). In statics, such systems of dipoles (electric, magnetic, nuclear) are unstable (the effect of collapse or expansion), but in the dynamics, at resonance, the effect of dynamic stabilization of unstable states is manifested. The alternating electromagnetic field from two synchronously oscillating dipoles has a narrow frequency spectrum of ~10(-13-23) (supercoherent radiation, resonant effect) and decreases ~ 1/rn (n>3). In this case, contact and non-contact activated liquids that are at room temperature result in solitary vortices (three-dimensional non-equilibrium dissipative resonant structures) [21]. The "effective temperature" in such vortices is millions of degrees and their lifetime is tens, hundreds of seconds, minutes and years, depending on the mode of resonant microclusters. The mechanism of the appearance of solitary vortices in activated liquids (Fig. 1) [24] is similar to the mechanism of excitation of ball lightning ("ball-light") in the air [3, 22]. In general, when liquids are activated, it is more correct to talk about dissipative structures, “vortices” that occur in water, and not about “structured” water.”

The whole article, which has images of the micro clusters in water as they are revealed by an ecosonograph, can be seen here:

I don’t like much their obvious commercial orientation (they sell a system to make structured water for health purposes) but I like the parallel they make between the “ball lightning” and the vortical structures induced in water.

Bob, I like the experiment you proposed with the LED! Very elegant: simple, sensitive and effective. Note however that there are some very very efficient red LEDs that emit a faint light just by holding one of the lead with the fingers (leaving the other lead floating). So I guess there are many conditions that can turn these LEDs on (e.g. simple electrochemical potentials, not necessarily EVOs). I would rather expect that an EVOs will completely destroy the LED instead! Either because it will exceed the maximum allowed voltages or currents, or because it will damage the semiconductor lattice, expecially at the P-N or metal-semiconductor junctions.

Bob, I don't have any more definite details on the Cherhill crop circle of 1997 apart from walking in it myself. But here is my playlist of many of the weird electromagnetic anomalies I've seen and videotaped in crop circles for the past 24 years including compasses, cameras, batteries, and GPS devices all instantly going on the fritz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPekMeMhJO0&list=PL99622B3ED5F8C859

Bob you are good with names. Do you remember who it was that was doing cavitation experiments with a water pump, to a vertical riser, making cavitation in a horizonal pipe. I believe he was using a decretive foil from a front door screen to show transmutations. Tho he may have been driving it too hard, I wondered if you recalled.

Thanks great video as always, I should start watching with a note pad for all of the stuff I think of while I'm watching...
