Observation Over Work of the Device "STORM
GLASS"
(Continuation, the beginning in N1/96 and
N3/96 )
There were the descriptions of the
observations over the device "storm-glass" in the 1 and 3 issues of
journal in 1996. I offer to your attention the next part of it.
In the 6 of July 1996 one trouble has
happened. My daughter has broken the control device. I decided to restore the
device from the remainders of the solutions, which have stayed from the
previous experiences. But before that I have taken the device N367 and have
become to examine the solution with microscope. Previously I have measured pH
and it was 7.
I examined the device with 50-900
magnifications. There were distinctly visible spectral beams from crystals at
small and average increases. At 200 times magnification the structure of
sediment was striped. In process of dissolution in the solvent and at the large
magnifications the crystals became more and more shapeless and turned into
porous mass. In a dry state some crystals had the round and hexagonal form. It
was impossible for me to get the magnification more than 900 times; I did not
have necessary equipment for that.
The device, which has been created again,
turned out disabled because the concentration of salts had not been kept up.
That is why the new variants of the control and experimental devices were
assembled.
Control device:
|
|
Camphor |
12.5% |
Experimental device:
|
|
Camphor |
10% |
Making the first solution I have added
camphor (approximately 2-2.5 g), which have been educed from the previous
solutions and washed out by boil water into 10 % camphor spirit. The
dissolution has occurred easy at temperature 28 OC. After, that I
have re-counted amount of salts concerning 30 ml and has filled the test-tube.
White curdled sediment, gathered in the
middle part of the test-tube, has dropped. There was muddy liquid under it and
transparent one above it. This device was used as control because its structure
corresponded to a recommended (standard) one.
Making a new solution the concentration of
salts was twice reduced and 10 % solution of camphor spirit was taken. White
curdled sediment uniformly occupied the whole test-tube N367.
The purpose of last control device's updating
was to approach its structure to the standard one and to make observations. But
the released camphor hardly would be rather pure, and its humidity has not
considered either. That is why the contents of salts would be higher, but
camphor's contents would be lower then recommended one. It can have an effect
on accuracy of the indications. The increase of the contents of salts,
especially NH4CL, reduced sensitivity. Camphor's contents influenced
on density of sediment. It proved to be true by that fact that the device with
re-counted on 10 % solution camphor was filled with branchy crystals before
deterioration of weather, these crystals were not very distinct, but
translucent ones.
The mixed substances were placed into
test-tubes and plugged up by rubber fuses. The control device was coated with
sealing wax. The test-tubes were placed in water with temperature about 50 OC.
The sediment has been quickly dissolved,
risen up and, continuing to dissolve, taken the shape of oil drops. The liquid
in the top part of test-tube painted in yellowish color, its volume has made
1-2ml. In the control device color was more intensive. At initial addition of
salts pH was equal 7, now it has made 6.5. In the top part of device N367 was
gathered about 1 ml of yellowish transparent liquid as the dissolution was
completed, and all the rest was a dregs of milk color. In the top part of the
control device was gathered about 2 ml of yellow liquid, and all the rest was
transparent. In some hours a ring of a yellow liquid in the control device was
painted in reddish color. At decreasing of temperature there was sediment as a
shape of flakes, at increasing it was dissolved.
The devices started to work properly in some
days. In the control device the crystal sediment took the shape of druse and
leaves. Those days, when there were rains or thunderstorm there, the sediment
had the shape of flakes and it was dissolved at clear weather. Against of the
previous variants of the device, it was noticed muddling of liquid up to milk
color; it seemed to us the accuracy of the device has not suffered.
The device N367 was placed in a ring magnet,
the yellowness in the top part almost has disappeared in some days, and the
sediment has taken the shape of porous mass with bubbles of gas in it.
On the 29 of July the control device was
placed in the street, because, being in the room or between window-frames the
device could give the inexact indications, as it was in conditions which were
different from condition of weather. However, as it has appeared later, it did
not influence on device's work.
On the 3 of August a new variant of the
device N367 was assembled. In the previous one there was reduced the contents
of salts, and that fact has resulted in deterioration of sensitivity. In
addition, the heating of solution was made in a hermetically sealed vessel,
what, probably, has resulted in formation of an orange-yellow oily ring.
Probably, the pressure of allocated gas was very important in this. The
confirmation to that was that fact that heating was made in open test-tube that
time. The sediment, which has dropped out at mixture of substances, was
dissolved, but in the middle of the test-tube a foggy ring of light grey color
was formed. Above this ring the liquid was transparent, but slightly dim; but
under this ring it was transparent, containing bubbles of gas. Nobody knew how
to explain it. The ring occupied volume about 1 - 2 ml, in process of cooling
it extended, getting muddle the liquid. As moving the test-tube, the movement
of the level of the liquid was insignificant, but the ring was more mobile.
The concentration of substances was
re-counted on 10 % camphor's solution, but the volumetric ratio was broken.
There was approximately 0.5-1 ml of salts on it than it was recommended. pH has
made 6.5.
There was a clear weather, western wind with
force about 2 numbers at construction of the device. In the device O2GI the
sediment has taken the shape of twigs and occupied volume about 8 ml. In the
control device the sediment at the bottom was as a shape of flakes about 1-1.5
ml., there were 4 ml of transparent liquid in the middle part and then 5-7 ml
of starlets and needles. Then there was a transparent layer with leaves about 1
ml, and there were flakes and needles higher. Generally in this variant of the
control device very often took place stratification of sediment on
crystallization's degrees from the lowest flakes up to higher starlets and
dots. But the sediment was more homogeneous in the previous variant. In the
beginning of August the ring has not disappeared, but has turned to a crown
with denticles from needles and leaves. On the 7 of August we could notice a
transparent tawny ring with volume about 1 ml in the top part of the device. In
the 8 of August the crown has become less expressed, its denticles
"hid" and turned to needles. The yellow ring became turbid by flakes.
On the 3 of August the control device showed
a rain in 3-4 days. Actually, on the 6 of August there was a rain. The rains
were also on the 13, 15, 17 and 22 of August. On the 28, 29 and 30 of August
there was drizzle, turned into a rain.
There was mainly dry cloudy weather in August
there with prevail northwest winds. The atmospheric pressure changed from 702
up to 720 mm and the average indication has made 712.6 mm. Monthly average
temperature was + 19 OC, its daily average fluctuations have made
9.2 OC. Monthly average humidity was 84 %, its daily fluctuations
was 14.2%.
The strongest excitation of the control
device took place on the 4, 11, 12, 15, 20, 22, 25, 26, 27 and 30 of August.
And the strongest excitation was from the 20 till 22 of August, i.e.
approximately one month prior to a complete lunar eclipse. Another very strong
excitation was on the 25-27 of August. The test-tube was almost completely
filled by flakes.
From the 27 of August till the 30 of August,
probably, the basic influence of a coming nearer eclipse began. If till August
30 the excitation lasted about 1-2 days, so from August 30 till September 3,
from September 5 till September 9 and from September 12 till September 16 the
excitation lasted about 3-4 days. The strongest excitations were on the 7 and 8
and on the 28 and 29 of September, i.e. three weeks prior to an eclipse and two
days after it.
The eclipse was on 27.09.96. At the moment of
an eclipse the device was exited and filled by flakes, which were denser in the
top part of it. This day there was a dry cloudy weather without precipitation.
There was stratus-cumulus cloudiness about 8 numbers; i.e. the sky was on 80 %
covered with clouds. A wind was southwest about 2 numbers.
The device was filled by flakes, which were
denser in the top part of it with volume about 15 ml. Lower of this layer there
were scattered flakes and dots, and in the bottom there was about 2-3 ml of
flakes.
The same picture was before an eclipse. But
after an eclipse flakes started to be replaced by crystals in the shape of "needles"
and "leaves", sediment in the bottom and in the middle part has
become to thaw, but sediment in the top part started to decrease in volume too.
In September average temperature has made +
14,3; the relative humidity varied from 63% up to 100 % and on the average has
made about 84,7%. The pressure varied from 698 mm up to 726 mm, on the average
has made about 713,8 mm.
In spite of the fact that the structure of
the new control device was differed from former one, the indications of these
devices before a lunar eclipse coincide in general.
It is interesting, that in March the
northeast winds prevailed, in April southwest ones took place more often, in
August northwest winds prevailed again, but in September southeast winds were
more often. The device showed a similar picture; i.e. it is possible to
consider that the influence of lunar eclipses on "storm glass" is
established.
However it is necessary to remember, that
weather was similar in April and in September. But, all the same, presages and
consequences of lunar eclipses in the indications of devices were very similar.
The following complete lunar eclipse is expected on September 16, 1997 from
21.14 to 22.20 on Moscow time.
What will show a complete solar eclipse of
March 9, 1997? At 4 hours on Moscow time there will be the peak of an eclipse.
In October exactly one year will be from the
beginning of observation over the "storm glass". At the end of
October and in the beginning of November the results of observation will be
summed up. Though the indications of the device rather exactly predict weather,
nevertheless some questions are not clear yet:
1. How does the direction of a wind influence
on it? The question is caused by that fact that at various directions there can
be identical indications and on the contrary.
2. Why does the shape of crystals change instead of occurs only liquid's
turbid? What does influence on a stage of crystallization?
For the answer to this question it is
necessary to receive the more detailed information about conditions of
crystals' formation. You see they are formed not only because of evaporation of
solutions; probably, any other conditions are necessary. By a word, we still
have what to think about.
How do chemical reactions in the device
occur?
On this question I could not find the answer yet.
