Visit Of Prof John Booske To The UK Regarding The 'Microwave Effect'

世界上有许多研究小组正在研究利用微波作为一种替代能源来加工各种材料、化学品、食品等的可能性。在这一活动中，少数人正在研究所谓的“微波效应”，即过程反应路径或动力学的意外增强。英国拥有不少于7个在该领域工作的独立团队，这一点尤为丰富。虽然在过去二十年或更长的时间里，国际上已经收集了相当数量的证据，但大多数证据都涉及在传统和微波设备上进行实验；在大多数情况下，两种情况下的设施并不相同，温度测量等技术也不相同。然而，最近已经进行了一些明确的实验，避免了这些陷阱，其中大多数在英国进行。他们非常清楚地表明，有一个真正的效果。现在，人们的注意力转向试图解释这些影响。有许多理论存在，但其中大多数都是基于当时缺乏证据的。现在需要一个人，最好是一个理论家，通过参观一些组织，将在英国收集的所有数据联系起来，然后研究它，以确定支持和反对不同理论的证据，并确定可以进行的新的权威实验。然后，这些想法需要由实验专家进行讨论，以便确定一条明确的前进道路。将编写一份最终报告，并通过互联网广泛传播，并在主要国际会议上发表，这些活动将以评论和希望的进一步实验结果的形式产生进一步的投入。

There are many research groups worldwide who are investigating the potential for using microwaves as an alternative energy source for the processing of a wide range of materials, chemicals, food, etc. Within this activity, a small number are investigating the so-called 'microwave effect', that is, unexpected enhancements in process reaction paths or kinetics. The UK is particularly rich in having no less than 7 independent teams working in the field. Whilst a considerable amount of evidence has been gathered internationally over the past two decades or more, most has involved performing experiments in both conventional and microwave equipment; most of the time the facilities have not been equivalent and techniques such as temperature measurement have not been the same in both cases. Recently, however, definitive experiments have been performed that avoid these pitfalls, most of them in the UK. They show very clearly that there is a genuine effect. Now attention is turning to trying to explain the effects. Many theories exist, but most of these were based on the poor evidence available at the time. There is now a need for someone, preferably a theoretician, to correlate all of the data gathered in the UK by touring around a number of organisations and then studying it with a view to identifying both evidence for and against the different theories and also to identify new definitive experiments that could be performed. These ideas then need discussing by the experimental experts so that a clear path forward can be identified. A final report will be written and disseminated very widely via the internet and presentation at major international conferences, activities that will result in further input, in the form of both comments and, hopefully, further experimental results.
