Low frequency electromagnetic waves as a supplemental energy source to sustain microbial growth?

Victor A Gusev1, Dirk Schulze-Makuch.   

Abstract

Microbial populations in tetra-distilled water collapsed when cultured in a permalloy chamber shielding the populations from the sun's and earth's electromagnetic field, but thrived when cultured in an ordinary thermostat open to the electromagnetic field. Theoretically, protons in liquid water can be excited at their natural resonance frequencies through Langmuir oscillations and obtain enough kinetic energy to charge the transmembrane potential of a cell. Microbes may be capable of converting this energy into chemical energy to supplement their energy needs.
