ExW
What ExW Is
Spectro-analysis shows that HydrOxy contains monatomic hydrogen and oxygen, but that’s only about 3% of the total volume. The evidence indicates HydrOxy also contains a significant volume of Electrically Expanded Water (ExW), which I believe is a negatively charged, electron-rich, cold plasma form of water.
Depending on the quality of the HydrOxy gas, ExW can make up as much as 30% of the total volume. See HydrOxy for how gas quality and machine design affect that percentage.
ExW is still water; it hasn’t split into hydrogen and oxygen. But it’s water that has absorbed electricity and become a gaseous form that is not water vapor or steam. If cooled, it doesn’t condense. It only returns to liquid water if it loses its extra electrons.
Plasma is the fourth state of matter (solid, liquid, gas, plasma), defined as an ionized gas, one with extra electrons. ExW is water in a gaseous form carrying that excess energy. Because it exists at room temperature, it’s technically a “cold” plasma.
How ExW Forms
ExW forms specifically in electrolyzers designed not to separate the gases, forming in the middle of the liquid, between the electrodes, not attached to either one. If you insert a membrane to separate the gases, the way traditional electrolyzers do, the ExW-forming effect doesn’t happen. That’s the direct, physical reason PEM and SPE electrolyzer technology cannot produce ExW: the membrane blocks the exact process that creates it. See HydrOxy for more on that distinction and why it matters when comparing hydrogen technologies.
Brown’s Gas electrolyzers must use a catalyst in the water between the electrodes to make this happen. The catalyst is what builds what I call the “electron bridge,” the mechanism that attaches electrons to water, allowing some of it to absorb enough electrons to become ExW. Without that catalyst, plain electrolysis just produces ordinary hydrogen and oxygen, no matter how the electrolyzer is otherwise designed.
The only way I know to produce ExW is to keep all the gases together as they form, with no membrane in the way, using a catalyst to build that electron bridge.
Confirming and Measuring ExW
We can confirm ExW exists, and measure roughly how much of it is present, by drying the gas (removing water moisture) and using mass spectrometry to check whether a gaseous form of water that is not water vapor or steam is still there. If it won’t condense when cooled, that’s ExW. This is the most direct way to confirm it.
These tests were run independently of me in the 1990s. I only received permission to publish the results a few years ago; they’re shown in my 2017 TeslaTech presentation.
The best current way to measure ExW, short of lab spectrometry, is by inference: the machines produce more gas than the electrical input should account for, using Faraday’s Law as the baseline. That “extra” gas is the ExW. This isn’t a violation of Faraday’s Laws; ExW simply forms independently of the electrode reactions those laws describe. For example, the ER50 rates at 130% efficiency by this measure. See The Discovery for the full weighing experiment and gas-quality rating system this measurement approach comes from.
Why ExW Matters for Health
ExW’s extra electrons increase the therapeutic value of the hydrogen in HydrOxy, because those electrons are bioavailable: literally giving the body energy it needs, which matters most when someone is sick and their own energy reserves are already depleted.
Bodies that are ill typically have compromised energy-generation systems and depleted energy reserves. Adding energy independently of those systems allows the body to heal and restart its own processes. It helps to give the body the raw material (hydrogen) it needs to heal, but it also helps to give the body the energy it needs to actually use that raw material. Construction materials alone don’t build anything without power to run the equipment; ExW is closer to that power source than to the materials themselves.
ExW also plays a role in maintaining EZ Gel throughout the circulatory system, which is where its relationship to Dr. Gerald Pollack’s research becomes directly relevant.
ExW and EZ Water: A Direct Comparison
You may have encountered the term “EZ water” (Exclusion Zone water), researched and named by Dr. Gerald Pollack. It’s worth being precise about this, because ExW and EZ water are related but distinct, not two names for the same discovery, and the two terms shouldn’t be used interchangeably.
EZ Gel, more commonly known as EZ water, is not water in the H2O sense. It’s H3O2, a gel that forms spontaneously from water when water meets most hydrophilic surfaces. It sits at roughly phase 1.5, between solid and liquid, not the fourth phase of matter.
I’ve spoken with Dr. Pollack directly about why he chose the name “Exclusion Zone.” His own explanation:
“We were trying to figure out a good name. The term ‘exclusion zone’ (EZ) was first suggested, and it seems to have caught on; but, it refers to a ‘zone’ rather than to a substance. So, it’s not ideal. Others call it H3O2, which is the putative chemical formula. That’s OK, but maybe somewhat arcane.”
We went on to confirm together that EZ water is not actually the fourth phase of water, for three reasons:
- EZ water is H3O2, so it isn’t water, isn’t H2O, any more than H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) is water
- EZ water is not a plasma, and plasma is what defines the fourth phase of matter
- EZ water is a gel-like or semi-crystalline form of water, closer to phase 1.5 than to a distinct fourth phase
Both Dr. Pollack and I define actual water as H2O. Water, as matter, exists in four phases: solid (ice), liquid (water), gas (steam or water vapor), and plasma (ionized gas, which is what ExW is). Adding electrons to create a negatively charged plasma doesn’t change a molecule’s atoms; it’s a higher energy state of the same matter.
EZ water is a genuinely important discovery. It’s just not the fourth phase of water in the way ExW is. It could be considered its own separate “phase of water” in the sense that it’s a state that forms under certain conditions (water near hydrophilic material, combined with infrared energy), but that’s a different claim than being water’s fourth phase in the solid/liquid/gas/plasma sense.
ExW is a negative plasma (extra electrons) form of water. It’s still H2O, in a gaseous form that doesn’t condense the way water vapor or steam does. Dr. Pollack and I have discussed and agreed on this distinction directly.
