The scammer stopped too soon. He could have said that the rocks lose efficacy over time, say a month, due to the passage of water, and that packets of replacement rocks are available for sale from the company. If you can scan somebody once, you can scan him again.
So, I’m guessing that this is a second generation scam. The initial one actually did use salt, which would, indeed, erode with time, and need to be replaced, and would fluoresce in the described wavelength, and salt water is, on some levels, good for you, and with a little electricity added,, can be used to chlorinate and therefore treat your water, as well. So … there might, generations ago, have it based on science, sort of .., and then became more and more of a scam, as people walked further and further away from the original.
Fusion would be adding protons or neutrons to the Hydrogen or Oxygen atom. The claim here is they added a hydrogen atom, which would be a molecular, not nuclear, process. Still best not to cross the streams.

Now … if they had iron deposits in their water, and the magnets were actually removing those, then, maybe, in that special case, I would believe that their home water was, indeed, being improved.

@@nela9994And where does the captured iron goes? There are filters for your water supply.

But you have to service those filters regularly and dump the nasty goo into a bucket or in larger systems, they run on a clock and have a sink beneath.
It's more than sad. Having never heard of H3O2 until this video, I did a quick google search. At the bottom of the first page was the first link calling it snake oil. Everything above it, claimed it was legit, so if grandma does a google search and reads the first 3 articles, she's likely going to believe it's real.

H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide. It is great as an initial wound cleaner, but it is not recommended for internal consumption. H3O2 is called hexagonal water because the molecules tend to cluster in a semi-hexagonal shape, but the word water in the name is erroneous, because it is not water and it is not a stable substance. That being said, those devices are indeed quite magical because they made money disappear from one place and appear somewhere else.
The only way I could possibly see something like that working is if it used an electric current to employ electrolysis, separating the hydrogen and oxygen from the molecular bond, and then somehow recombining the surplus into unaffected molecules. H3O2 is Hydroxyoxidanium, which has more in common with Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) than water.
What's more, you'd be left over with an extra hydrogen from every resultant atom. Take 2 H2O, give the O and one H from one to the other, you have H3O2 + H left over. Where's all that hydrogen gas going?
That's basically a hydrogen peroxide couple with a hydrogen ion. That's something to absolutely keep out of your body. It's so reactive that it can be fatal if ingested. The peroxide is already a poison by itself and the hydrogen ion will make it worth.
@@colinsmith1495 the extra H can go somewhere else, like each 2 combining together to make H2. That said H302 isn't a proper stable molecule because it requires impossible covalent links.
I figured out a use for those... put the big one on the exhaust of your push-mower so that it rattles more and lets you get aerobic exercise yelling back at a karen
I am curious about what was the reaction of the people who sent it to you to test? We’re they disappointed? Did they ask you not to upload the video or to take it down? We’re they angry?
Gel water does actually exist, for a given definition of gel. It's called thick water and it's used in assisted living facilities and hospitals for people who can't safely drink something the consistency of normal water. It's a thickening agent similar to what pudding uses from what little I actually know of how the stuff works, nearly tasteless and can be used with pretty much anything with a consistency roughly that of water. That all said, I'm 99% sure that's not what you were referring to with gel water, just thought I'd spread some somewhat niche knowledge.
Nice. Now, if someone could explain to me what ACTUAL H³O² is. According various sources it was documented in 2005 but I cannot ascertain ANY notable properties, and trying to look up "Hydroxide Hydrate" pulls up much more common compounds such as Sodium Hydroxide Hydrate, Barium Hydroxide Hydrate, and Aluminum Hydroxide Hydrate... like, is H³O² just a transitory state during a more complicated reaction or is it just incredibly unstable or what.
@@AngelNearDestruction Closest answer a quick google gives is HC2H3O2 being Acetic Acid, not that that really means anything in this context, and a listing with no information for H2O(HO) on the Nist chemistry webbook, which honestly might be Hydroxide Hydrate, the molecular weight matches. I'm like 90% sure H3O2 as a chemical formula doesn't actually make a known compound, everything I'm seeing for it and Hydroxide Hydrate is coming across as theoretical equations more than actual known chemical formulae.
@@AngelNearDestruction There are extremes in chemistry beyond what we learn in our basic classes. I see this as similar to making bonds with noble gasses. It can be done in the right environment but since your forcing an electron in a valence shell that is already occupied it isn't stable will last just tiny fractions of a second.
@@roberteltze4850 I am aware, that is why I specifically asked if it is a transitory state of a more complicated reaction... but do you actually know that's what it is or are you just guessing like I did?
As a chemistry teacher, I am impressed at how correct everything James said was. By the by, if you could actually get H3O2 to exist, it would kill you...painfully.
Uhm... you realize there is only two ways to soften water right? 1 is chemically. The other is mechanically. (I.e. "magnetism", also known as "chemistry").
Well, since I have a PhD in Chemistry with 33 yrs in research (minor in physics,. U of Mich), I think I know how softening works. I have also been involved in electronics and radio wave propagation (read electromagnetic waves) for over 50 years and have taught the subject, I think I know a little bit about how magnetic and electric fields affect atoms, ions and molecules. I also know the difference between paramagnetic, diamagnetic and ferromagnetic. I don't think "magnetism" equates to "chemistry", I am pretty sure that electromagnetic fields are an integral part of chemistry. I also know they can't remove the bivalent and trivalent ions that impart hardness to water as implemented in these devices. 30 years ago, the snake oil salesmen were selling magnets that you just clamped on to your copper pipes, for about $250. Today, they have repackaged the devices to include electronic displays, and switching power supplies to power an electromagnet and charge $4,000. Same game, just a nicer package. About 30 years ago, our state' attorney general actually visited our city to put a local snake oil salesman out of business.
Goo job nailed that. if you ever have questions about your local public water system, call them and ask about house treatment systems. they are trained and are required to hold a water license. they know what works and they know scams.
Fun fact, water clusters have been observed experimentally, they have an extremely short lifespans, less than 200 femtoseconds. That's less than 200 quadrillionths of a second.

My man this was a great vid and an even better story, made even better by your knowledge from doing research, and questioning things but having the intelligence to make your own tests backed by research, to confirm and then researched as to why that happened and came with all that knowledge, determination, understanding and doing all of that with the customers best interest and all of that time research and all of that for this single instance shows the heart you do your job and live your life with. I Love you as a human being should love another, even tho that sounded weird but thank you for being you its awesome and thank you for sharing it, so i can view it and have a bright spot in a day.
It does do something. It Frees money from your wallet, into their wallet.
Bruh, how hard was it not to laugh or just call them dumb in the nicest way possible😂😂😂
Quartz: the stuff your water percolates through to get into your well, that leads to your pipes.
Just drink the aquarium. Mmm. Homeopathic gravel.
Yeah it's a 500.00 joke that it changes structured water
Glad you told it how it is, and didn't try to water it down.
Structured water was sold for fridges back in the days. They called it ice :D
I have no idea why RUclips recommend this channel to me in the first place but I'm so glad it did because this is the best video yet 👍😃
Well, Thank you soooo much.
I stumbled across James nearly a year ago. His videos have always been interesting, even a long video showing him clean a employee's truck.
Keep em coming !! I think it's awesome that you're exposing A-holes like this!!
I hate that they prey on the vulnerable, desperate and the ignorant!!
If anyone needs help, it's this group of people with severe illnesses that look for ways to prolong their life only to be douped!!
Keep up the great work 😊
Very funny guys. This was like Rocky and Bullwinkle does a Penn and Teller impression.👍👍👍👍
Ive never heard of these. Thanks for the heads up
That and a copper bracelet and we could live forever
H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide. It is great as an initial wound cleaner, but it is not recommended for internal consumption. H3O2 is called hexagonal water because the molecules tend to cluster in a semi-hexagonal shape, but the word water in the name is erroneous, because it is not water and it is not a stable substance. That being said, those devices are indeed quite magical because they made money disappear from one place and appear somewhere else.
I used to turn water into gel but there was no way I was drinking it as the chemicals we used would kill you as it was for fracking
The takeaway from this is just because someone says they are a scientist does not mean they are smart, and certainly does not mean they are honest.
The only way I could possibly see something like that working is if it used an electric current to employ electrolysis, separating the hydrogen and oxygen from the molecular bond, and then somehow recombining the surplus into unaffected molecules.
H3O2 is Hydroxyoxidanium, which has more in common with Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) than water.
What's more, you'd be left over with an extra hydrogen from every resultant atom. Take 2 H2O, give the O and one H from one to the other, you have H3O2 + H left over. Where's all that hydrogen gas going?
hehehehe peroxide go boom
@@colinsmith1495 Came here to make the same comment.
That's basically a hydrogen peroxide couple with a hydrogen ion. That's something to absolutely keep out of your body. It's so reactive that it can be fatal if ingested. The peroxide is already a poison by itself and the hydrogen ion will make it worth.
@@colinsmith1495 the extra H can go somewhere else, like each 2 combining together to make H2. That said H302 isn't a proper stable molecule because it requires impossible covalent links.
And when someone asks for this I would tell him that I don't think that it works. But when he wants it, he gets it.
You have rocks in a freakin' pipe?! Here! take my money 🤣🤣🤣
Be careful, where I come from that'll get you a sentence in the double digits if the alphabet boys, girls, and others hear you. Lol
I like smoking rocks too!
Politicians do it all the time!
So magic rocks don't work? Lol 😂😂
PT Barnum said there's one born every minute.
I'm glad you did this video because you did help someone.
Engineer here and I can confirm that I laughed through the whole thing. It is crazy what people buy and try to justify.
Pipe in a rock would be a better sales pitch
Honestly rocks in a pipe would sell better, I think they just need to corner the tweaker market instead of witches
PT Barnum said it best. There is a sucker born every minute!
I figured out a use for those... put the big one on the exhaust of your push-mower so that it rattles more and lets you get aerobic exercise yelling back at a karen
Genius!
They almost nailed it, just the wrong rocks and wrong pipe, back to the drawing board.
I guess you could say that whoever imagined quartz marbles in a pipe... had rocks in their heads.
No they had cash in their hand.
Probably a relative of the "pet rock" guy.
Not rocks! MINERALS!
Jesus Christ, Marie!
If I was a dishonest man I could also easily be a wealthy man (at least for a while).
You know why it didn't work? Because you didn't believe it would work.
They sold those balancing bracelets like crazy I'm sure this will sell in this day and age 😂
It kind of reminds me of a pond pre-filter where all the nasty crap gets trapped with rocks before going into the sand or charcoal filter.
James, as always, you never cease to amaze or to entertain.
STOP ... I was laughing so hard I can't catch my breath ... you're killing me Schults ...
IDK what's so hard to understand. It goes in one end, touches the rocks, comes out as 𝓦𝓐𝓣𝓔𝓡 on the other end. It's basic science lmaoo
Stupendous. This is the exemplary.
That’s some hippie shit right there 😂
Grew up in an area with lots of quartz in the ground. And all I got was lousy normal tap water. 🤦♀️
The crap these people try to pull sometimes is just hilarious 😂😂😂😂
There's a sucker born every minute! 🤣🤣🤣
I am curious about what was the reaction of the people who sent it to you to test? We’re they disappointed? Did they ask you not to upload the video or to take it down? We’re they angry?
The only thing that is going to do is make those "marbles made of quarts", more clear over time...
Gel water does actually exist, for a given definition of gel. It's called thick water and it's used in assisted living facilities and hospitals for people who can't safely drink something the consistency of normal water. It's a thickening agent similar to what pudding uses from what little I actually know of how the stuff works, nearly tasteless and can be used with pretty much anything with a consistency roughly that of water.
That all said, I'm 99% sure that's not what you were referring to with gel water, just thought I'd spread some somewhat niche knowledge.
Nice. Now, if someone could explain to me what ACTUAL H³O² is. According various sources it was documented in 2005 but I cannot ascertain ANY notable properties, and trying to look up "Hydroxide Hydrate" pulls up much more common compounds such as Sodium Hydroxide Hydrate, Barium Hydroxide Hydrate, and Aluminum Hydroxide Hydrate... like, is H³O² just a transitory state during a more complicated reaction or is it just incredibly unstable or what.
@@AngelNearDestruction Closest answer a quick google gives is HC2H3O2 being Acetic Acid, not that that really means anything in this context, and a listing with no information for H2O(HO) on the Nist chemistry webbook, which honestly might be Hydroxide Hydrate, the molecular weight matches. I'm like 90% sure H3O2 as a chemical formula doesn't actually make a known compound, everything I'm seeing for it and Hydroxide Hydrate is coming across as theoretical equations more than actual known chemical formulae.
dysphagia. Trouble swallowing.
@@AngelNearDestruction There are extremes in chemistry beyond what we learn in our basic classes. I see this as similar to making bonds with noble gasses. It can be done in the right environment but since your forcing an electron in a valence shell that is already occupied it isn't stable will last just tiny fractions of a second.
@@roberteltze4850 I am aware, that is why I specifically asked if it is a transitory state of a more complicated reaction... but do you actually know that's what it is or are you just guessing like I did?
It appears there is a disbeliever in our midst!
I might be dumb but I'm not that stupid enough to buy this
As a chemistry teacher, I am impressed at how correct everything James said was. By the by, if you could actually get H3O2 to exist, it would kill you...painfully.
For those who don't know, H2O2 is countertop hydrogen peroxide that you use to disinfect wounds at lower concentrations
yepp
.....HB
He said H3O2. Not H2O2.
@@volleyguy1001 3 is better than 2
@@breckfreeride usually you gotta pay extra for that sort of action ;)
Keep in mind, that’s in 3% concentration. At 80% concentration you’ve got rocket fuel.
That was a good Community Service.
What is even worse is magnetic water softeners being sold by reputable plumbing companies for $$$$.
Uhm... you realize there is only two ways to soften water right?
1 is chemically.
The other is mechanically. (I.e. "magnetism", also known as "chemistry").
Well, since I have a PhD in Chemistry with 33 yrs in research (minor in physics,. U of Mich), I think I know how softening works. I have also been involved in electronics and radio wave propagation (read electromagnetic waves) for over 50 years and have taught the subject, I think I know a little bit about how magnetic and electric fields affect atoms, ions and molecules. I also know the difference between paramagnetic, diamagnetic and ferromagnetic. I don't think "magnetism" equates to "chemistry", I am pretty sure that electromagnetic fields are an integral part of chemistry. I also know they can't remove the bivalent and trivalent ions that impart hardness to water as implemented in these devices. 30 years ago, the snake oil salesmen were selling magnets that you just clamped on to your copper pipes, for about $250. Today, they have repackaged the devices to include electronic displays, and switching power supplies to power an electromagnet and charge $4,000. Same game, just a nicer package. About 30 years ago, our state' attorney general actually visited our city to put a local snake oil salesman out of business.
If I had to return them after testing I would paint faces on the rocks of one of them and say "oh, it looks like you have pet rocks in this one".
So fouchi is an "expert" on water now is what I'm hearing 🤣
Thank you. Exposing this scam will help a lot of desperate save their money.
Gotta' run James. Can't be late for the Pawn Stars filming.
I love your videos. You ain't no dummy but your trying to educate us and appreciate that. Thanks Mr. Butler.
Goo job nailed that. if you ever have questions about your local public water system, call them and ask about house treatment systems. they are trained and are required to hold a water license. they know what works and they know scams.
It has to go past the quartz twice. Duh!
No words, Just no words.... Were all doomed...
Fun fact, water clusters have been observed experimentally, they have an extremely short lifespans, less than 200 femtoseconds. That's less than 200 quadrillionths of a second.
