“THE SUPER IMPLODER DEVICE”

IMPLOSIVE WATER TREATMENT

INSTALLATION and TESTING

INSTRUCTIONS with Dan Winter
and Roger Green
www.TheImploder.com

1. Connect device so that the Nozzle is the INPUT end.

2. Circulate water thru the IMPLODER with any normal pump and
pressure.
3. Water source: Use any water which would normally be used to feed
plants
Note:
1. Device has strong magnetic field, please avoid placing next to
electronic equipment
2. Locate away from any metal objects (strong magnetic field can attract
objects)
3. Treat it as you would a strong magnet: take normal precautions, locate
away from metal surfaces
4. Treat the device as somewhat fragile, avoid heavy shaking (although it
was a tough design)
If possible:
1. If feasible use a diaphragm pump rather than piston or impeller, ideal
is a peristalsis pump - but usually not readily available.
2. Simply use standard home or farm water supply
3. Normal pressures probably between 20 - 40 psi. Super imploder can
use higher psi if necessary.
4. Theoretically the molecular effect is probably best at generally lower
pressures- less than 30 more than 15.

General Testing Protocols

Please note: Advanced Testing Protocols at last section of this document

Set up for basic testing:

1. Seedlings, approximately same mass / size / same seeds / same soil /
same ‘batch’ / same location / same amount / count seeds
2. Use standard agricultural protocols
3. All variables same (identical growing conditions) except water with
treated vs. untreated water
4. Water one seed tray with the NORMAL WATER (place sign)
5. The other seed tray being feed the IMPLODER WATER (place sign)
 6. Make sure the two types of water do not mix / spread / spray
7. Please use digital camera – take as many photos as possible to
record growth / germination
8. Please use a new logbook. Date. Water pressure. General conditions.
Season. Seed type. Batch number. Keep careful records of technique
used.
9. Record amount of water and how frequent water was used
e.g. twice per week (depending on recommended water required for
type of seed)

Suggested testing protocol for water treatment imploder:

Test for:
1. Germination success: count how many successful seeds were
germinated in both trays
2. Crop yield: remove the soil from both testing trays and weigh the
seeds after about 2 weeks (depending on seed type, this could be
earlier / later depending on seed growth).
3. Repeat measurements over the rest of the growing season on a
regular basis e.g. approx. every 2 weeks

Also test for:

Redox factor
Ph values
Resistance
Surface tension
Entropy
Measurements of dissolved solids

NOTE: We also suggest testers to take some water themselves for drinking-
and take notice of any health effect- we only expect the best as the water is a
form of ‘healing water” it hydrates you more- as it de-clusters the water
molecules and has higher ‘redox potential’

A simple test you can do at home:

1. Take some imploder water and normal water home with you.
Carry in a non- metal container.
2. Pour into two separate see thru glass containers
3. Add into each the same tea bag
4. Notice the tea bag extraction rate i.e. how fast tea bag ingredients
dissolve into the water
5. Take some pictures. Note which is the imploder water
6. Drink the tea- feel the buzz !

Accelerated Growth Effects Testing Protocols

Introduction
90% of the water is used by the plants to carry nutrients to the cells and then
is transpired into the air. Only 1-2% of the water is used for photosynthesis

The enhanced growth effects we noticed in our experiments in the UK under

controlled lab conditions are believed to occur via the facilitation of bringing
the required nutrients into the plants by causing a de-clustering effect on the
water.

This de-clustering effect would create smaller clusters of hydrogen bonded

water molecules that would more efficiently ‘solvate’ the nutrients (i.e., metal
ions, carbs, etc.) and thus create a more efficient vehicle for bringing the
nutrients into the plant for photosynthesis.

Plant needs Nitrogen, phosphorous, K, Ca, Mg, S Fe Mn Cu Zn Boron, moly,

CHO. How the imploder deals with these ions? The imploder with magnet
stack merely facilitates the delivery of these and other vital nutrients to the
plants. There is or should not be any ‘chemical’ alteration due to the action
of the imploder/magnet stack on the water.

It is in our best interests to test the Imploder in various growing season under
the widest variety of growing conditions, (soil, water quality, turbidity, and
abundance; temperature extremes and variation, seed types etc.) as well as
field testing for durability, ease of use, in different cultural conditions.

How can the tests be standardized enough for the data to be meaningful and
comparable?

Ideally for us it is important to have standardized water test results, so the

tests can be comparable. We have set up a number of trials with growers
around the world (New Zealand, Australia, India, Canada, Europe, USA,
South America), using various conditions and scenarios. We realize that
many of the growers undertaking these trials have limited access to lab
testing, however basic seed germination and crop yields can be recorded
and validated, and at the end of the day- the proof is in the pudding- if you
get better germination, better bio-mass, it proves it works!
A standard lab suite of tests would include:
• Analysis of the dissolved solids and their percentages: for
sedimentation effect
• Alkalinity / pH: although we do not expect the pH to vary much
• Redox Potential Eh: important for determining reducing
ability/environment
• Electrical Resistivity/conductivity: Very important. Could very well give
us critical data we need to be ahead of the competition
• Surface tension: will give us a good idea of the imploder’s effect on
wetability
• Entropy: tested with a GDV
• Viscosity and surface tension
• Dissolved oxygen
• Total suspended solids: give us data on sedimentation effects
• Turbidity: gives physical results of the water
• Dissolved metals and metalloids, including heavy metals: we want to
compare essential nutrients in the treated water versus the tap water
• Dissolved organics: for sedimentation effects

Notice any difference in:

• Greater yield kg
• Earlier to market/ faster maturing produce
• General health/ curb appeal of the produce

Don’t bother with testing for:

• Size of produce
• Amount of pesticides
• Amount of fertilizer

Field Testing Assumptions

Problems for testing in commercial greenhouses

The typical operation has an acre of greenhouses and they are usually all
connected by same water system so in order to make comparative tests the
grower has to be willing to isolate a bed or a green house to do the test.

A greenhouse is 30’ wide and 150’ long so a hose needs to stretch that far.

As far as flow rates are concerned, they don’t use high rates of flow, in drip
systems 500ml/hour and more in the nutrient film system, which uses eaves
troughs that slope with a tank at the end with a submersible pump. This slow
flow rate is to our advantage.

As far as pricing goes, if a grower could be guaranteed a 20% better yield

they would pay for that. Farming associations we have talked to have seen a
grower pay $40k for a Russian Ionizer that did not make for greater yields but
it did take KCl and makes active chlorine which helps the root zone problem.
What effects would make the growers more profitable with a
competitive advantage?
• Greater yield (yes).
• Earlier to market (yes).
• Better curb appeal (yes).

We recommended an experiment with cucumbers in a backyard

greenhouse with 10-20 plants control group and 10-20 plants with imploder
water using standard nutrition. It only takes 60 days from seed to first
harvest.

Growers get better prices if their produce gets to market earlier. For
example, they use artificial light greenhouses and when cucumbers are ready
in December the price is $25/dozen and when the Mexican cucumbers hit the
market in late Dec or early January the price goes down to $8/dozen which is
the average price over the year.

What not to test for:

• Larger fruits not really worth testing for as cucumbers are picked at
one pound in size and tomatoes have many varieties only a few of
which are big varieties like beefsteak. Better to know that once the fruit
is set that it will grow fast
• Fewer pesticides – as they don’t use much now, instead use bug
predators for things like white flies and spider mites etc. It is important
for the cells not to be too soft nor too hard. They stress the plants a
little by increasing the fertilizer in order to limit water as fewer uptakes
due to osmotic pressure and low light conditions because that makes
the cells narrow and stronger.
• Less fertilizer not worth testing as plants need what they need to grow
well.
 
Germination Test
Question: “Do seeds fed only Imploder water have more complete
germination than seeds fed regular water?” We anticipate it will be similar to
what Dr. Salvatore Giandinoto PhD did to determine a germination rate
expressed as a percentage –done in our lab in the UK 2009 with remarkable
results.

Total Yield Test

Question: “Do Imploder watered plants yield more produce than regular
watered plants?” This would involve two plant populations, a control group
that receives only regular water and a group that receives only Imploder
Water. How we set up the test depends on the nature of the plants. Does a
plant yield more produce if it is harvested continually for first picking to freeze
up like zucchinis or does the plant yield more produce if the plant is left to
develop produce the whole growing season like carrots? Options are:
The produce from each group is allowed to grow the entire growing season,
and then is weighed separately. Produce cannot be allowed to “rot on the
vine” however, or the produce is picked continuously from first harvest
through to the end of season and is weighed and tallied according to which
group the plants belong to. (Yes, produce yield is probably the single most
important thing to test for)

Time to First Harvest Test

Question: “Does produce from Imploder watered plants reach maturity
sooner than regular watered plants?” This would involve two plant
populations, a control group that receives only regular water and a group that
receives only Imploder Water. Produce is picked on the day that it is deemed
ready for market and photographed and weighed for each group. We
envision a simple graph of x-axis = days versus y-axis = weight of produce
picked when first ready for market.

Circulation Test
Question: “Does it make any difference to growth and productivity if the water
is passed through the Imploder once or circulated for 5 minutes or 15
minutes or half hour or 1 hour? We set up a growing bed to be fed only
water from each scenario Circulation time has been shown by other testing
methods and trials using magnetic water to peak at about 90 minutes. Our
magnets are 47 times stronger than what was used in these trials.

What is the best quick measure of how “imploded” the water is?
Surface tension measured with a tensiometer? Contact angle? Viscosity?
Electrical Conductance/Resistivity? We might come up with a cumulative
weighted equation for this. On the research team is Pat Flanagan as he has
much experience with water research

Hose Length Test

Question: “Does Imploder water loose its growth effects when it travels
through varying lengths of hose? Straight pipes? A specially designed left
hand spiral coily path hose perhaps…. We assume that this will NOT make a
difference.

Storage time Test

Question: “Does Imploder water loose its growth effects when stored over
varying periods of time? How potent is it right after being treated, after 1 day,
2 days, and 4 days a week, 2 weeks, and a month, two months, three
months? Also, in addition to this we should find out what substance the water
is best stored in, i.e., wood, plastic, glass, etc.
Overall- best to deliver imploded water straight away onto seeds/plants

General Notes
• In commercial greenhouses, their economic measure is produce
kg/m2 or $/m2
• Most greenhouses grow:
Cucumbers, 1.5 plants/m2
Tomatoes, 2.5 plansts/m2
Lettuce
• Peppers 3.2 plants /m2 are the most major crops for hydroponic
systems
• Cucumbers are a fast growing crop with 3 per years in the Northern
Hemisphere:
Dec-May
June – August
Sep – Nov
• Tomatoes and peppers are one large crop per year.
• January plant and harvest end Nov or early Dec
• About 500kg water through a plant to get 1 kg of dried matter -drying
the whole plant fruit stems leaves and roots.
• NOTE: This could be a good way of calculating growth efficiency but it
would be a lot easier to water both the control and experimental
samples with exactly the same amount of water and simply measure
the overall yield. Water is cheap. Simpler experiments usually yield
better and more definable results.
• Growing mediums: rock wool and foam that don’t hold water, and
coconut fiber holds water (we used a cellulose mat easily purchased
at your local nursery in our original UK experiments). Best is hydro gel
• Amount of watering depends on amount of sunlight and temp: if <14
C then plants can’t take up water. Refer to basic plant biology.

A definition
Seed vigor is defined as the sum of the total properties of the seed, which determine
the level of activity and performance of the seed or seed lot during germination and
seedling emergence
