The following document is a transcript from of an audiotape shared with KeelyNet at one of our local Round table meetings. These are held in Dallas on a monthly basis for the exchange of information and to network with friends and fellow researchers.
It provides a superb overview of the excellent researches of David Hudson with regard to an amazing range of claims and discoveries. As far as I know, this was first presented at Dean Stonier's 1994 Global Sciences Congress in Virginia Beach. The second presentation was at the August congress in Denver.
Due to the nature of his research, Mr. Hudson does not have the time or the patience to respond to casual callers or contacts. He has spent over 5 million dollars over the last 19 years carrying out his ongoing research. Please refrain from bothering the man. Future information will be provided on KeelyNet as we get it.
Please note, since this document is a transcript, all efforts have been made for the greatest accuracy as to details....however, some of the syntax and spelling of proper names might not be 100% accurate............Jerry Decker
Dean Stonier is the director of the Global Sciences group, based out of Denver, Colorado. Dean introduced David as having worked on this project for over 17 years. David says his research efforts began about 19 years ago. He had been in agriculture, made a lot of money and began buying gold and silver as an inflation hedge. From this point, it will be from a first person standpoint.
David Hudson's Lecture Part I
I CAME ACROSS A LOT OF REFINERS IN THE PHOENIX AREA WHO WERE WORKING WITH PRECIOUS METALS. They informed me that there were people who we reproducing precious metals from natural sources. The technique involved using cyanide to recover gold from old mining sites where they had dumped the tailings from the mine.
Since I was a successful farmer, I could easily go into mining of this nature because I had water trucks, road graders, earth movers and backhoes. The idea was to accumulate gold and silver without having to pay taxes. Later, I became aware of how to recover gold using the Heap Leach Cyanide System.
In any recovery operation, once you get down to hard pan, it just won't go any further, that is when you are leaching soluble salts through the soil. The heap leach system moves gold and silver solutes down to a plastic membrane where they collect as a slurry. This is pumped up and recovered through your carbon and refining process.
In this recovery process, I was actually recovering gold and silver from this sludge and fire assay when I found I was recovering something else which was causing losses in the recovered gold and silver.
No one knew what this problem material was and since I was not a chemist or a physicist, I had no idea. It had a specific gravity, it would recover in the molten lead just as if it was gold or silver, it did not float out of the lead, but when I cupeld the lead down, there was had nothing.
The people involved in mining and metallurgical work are familiar with this mystery substance, giving it the name of 'ghost gold', it is anon-issuable, non-identifiable form of gold. At this point, I became involved with a gentleman who does emission spectroscopy, we then became aware of work done by under the auspices of the Soviet Academy of Sciences.
Emission spectroscopy involves taking a carbon electrode and placing your sample on that carbon electrode. You then run another carbon electrode down from above it and you strike an arc. As the current burns the carbon electrodes and the sample in the electric arc, the elements in the sample will ionize and give off specific light frequencies. This is the basis of spectroscopic Analysis or DC Arc Emission Spectroscopy.
In this analysis, it is normally run for a period of about 10 to 15 seconds before the carbon electrode burns away. American spectroscopists will tell you that anything that is there will be ionized and will be read in thisemission spectroscopy. Our material indicated it was iron, silica and aluminum.
It took me three years to get rid of the iron, silica and aluminum, once that was done, I still had 98% of the material. This material on the DC arc did not indicate to be anything. The material was taken back to Cornell University, where I worked with a gentleman who helped me on analyze this mystery substance.
We used X-ray analysis with 8 different X-ray heads, tunneling microscopy, diffraction, fluorescent microscopy, all these wonderful technologies, and the spectroscopist confirmed the presence of iron, silica and aluminum. Once again, we worked to remove these elements from the sample. When they no longer showed up on the spectroscopic analysis, the spectroscopist pronounced that there was now nothing, yet there was still material present. According to the Soviet Academy of Sciences, proper spectroscopic analysis requires a 300 second burn instead of the 15 seconds as done in the US. When you do this, you have to sheath the electrode with an inert gas to remove all oxygen and prevent the electrode from burning away too fast. The equipment was setup to use argon as the inert gas so they could achieve a 300 second burn.
Using this process, within the first 15 seconds, we got the standard readings of iron, silica and aluminum and sometimes traces of calcium. After that, nothing else was read until 90 seconds into the burn, where palladium began to read, at 110 seconds, platinum began to read, at 130 seconds, ruthenium began to read, at 140-150 seconds rhodium began to read, at 190, iridium began to read, at 220 osmium begins to read. This is called fractional vaporization by the Russians.
When you understand that the boiling temperature of iron is to these elements as the boiling temperature of water is to iron. You can't get iron hotter than the boiling temperature of water until all the water is gone. This is the basis of the cooling system in your car, as long as there is water in the radiator, that motor never gets that hot, but once that water is gone, only then can the metal get hot enough to approach the boiling temperature of the iron.
The same applies to the carbon arc, all of the iron, silica and aluminum are taking off the heat that the arc is putting into it, and so its not until all of that is gone, that you can reach the temperatures of the denser elements.
The boiling temperature of these elements is about 5200 to 5300 degrees centigrade, the maximum temperature of a DC arc is theoretically about 5450 to 5500 degrees centigrade, measured at the center of the arc. The material sits on the electrode, so it can't get to the maximum temperature of the arc. This material had to get rid of all its impurities and all the energy of the arc had to literally be concentrated on the sample, until the elements come off IN THE SEQUENCE of their boiling temperatures. The lowest is palladium, followed by platinum, ruthenium, rhodium, etc. They come off all by themselves at a time when nothing else can be in the sample.
Getting 600,000 to 700,000 counts of iridium versus a 12,000 count of carbon arc background, we ran this material for 2 and « years, everyday, we prepared commercial standards. We ran the standards and found they read correctly in the first 15 seconds. As the electrode continues to burn, at 90 seconds, bang, here comes the palladium and the following elements. About 85% of the reading occurs way out there towards the end of the burn. In other words the people buying these precious metal standards are only reading about 15% to 20% of the sample and assuming it is everything.
Short burn times are in error when used to determine standards, the Soviet Academy of Sciences has the most advanced method currently known. Basically, (David must still be referring to an analysis of off-the-shelf standards here) we find 6-8 oz per ton of palladium, 12-13 oz per ton of platinum, 150 oz per ton of osmium, 200 oz per ton of ruthenium, 600 oz. per ton of iridium, 1200 oz per ton of rhodium. (this was done using spectroscopic analysis) The best deposit in the world is in South Africa, they are mining 1/3 of one ounce per ton. That's all the platinum group elements. They go a «mile down in the ground and follow an 18 inch seam to get this material. I say there are about 2400 oz per ton of these precious elements instead of the 1/3 of one ounce that is currently being recovered. No one else knows it is there and no one else can analyze for it.
The gentleman spectroscopist who helped me with this analysis winded up getting starry-eyed and went off to Germany. There he studied at the Institute for Spectroscopy, where he claimed he had found precious elements in natural materials, all of which I paid for. I have since learned to protect my knowledge and willingness to share so openly with contracts. We ran these experiments for 2 and « years and have now created commercially pure standards which were helping us to perfect this analytical technique. I later went to a chemist who I was told was one of the best analytical chemists that the state of Arizona had to offer. This was all explained to the chemist and he became so interested that he volunteered his own time to help research this phenomenon.
This chemist worked with me for over 3 and « years at no charge. Basically, we were running the procedures that the Soviet Academy recommended. When we were finished, we had separated, through analytical chemistry, 6-8 oz. per ton of palladium, 12-13 oz. per ton of platinum, 150 oz. per ton of osmium, 200 oz. per ton of ruthenium, 600 oz. per ton of iridium, 1200 oz. per ton of rhodium, the same values as found in spectroscopic analysis.
From the analytical chemical tests, all the solution colors were correct, all the oxidation reduction potentials were basically correct, all the physical properties were correct, but when you finish as an analytic alchemist, you take the separated, purified elements and send them to a spectroscopic lab to confirm your findings.
Using rhodium as an example, it produces a crimson blood-red-colored salt, when you precipitate rhodium out of solution, you add bromate as the oxidizer, you do a neutralization of the acid and the hydroxide precipitates out of the solution, you filter it, dry it, oxidize it, hydrogen reduce it and you should have metal. We did all this, heated it in a tube furnace under oxygen at 850 degrees centigrade for an hour to dehydrate it until we had this red brown oxide.
We took 1/3 of the sample out and put it in a beaker and sealed it. We then placed the other 2/3 back into the tube furnace, hydrogen reduced it until we got a gray powder, just like rhodium is supposed to look.
We take that out, take half the sample, place in another vial and seal it, returning the other half of this gray powder to the furnace where it is cooked at 1000 degrees under argon, and it turns SNOW WHITE. We take that out, put it in another vial, seal it and send all the three sealed samples out for spectroscopic analysis.
The analysis was done by a commercial firm called SpectraChem in Los Angeles, they do most of the work for the aerospace industry, the man who runs the instrument is the president of the Spectroscopic Association.
The red brown dioxide analyzed to be iron, the reduced hydrogen material was aluminum and calcium, and the white material, annealed under argon was calcium and silicon The point being that there was no consistency in the analysis of the three materials even though they were all three the same element, that material is 99.9% pure rhodium. The commercial standards that you buy are not technically correct. The chloride salt, the sulfate salt that you buy from Johnson/Massey and Englehart are not technically correct. The material like tri-chloride that is sold as RHCL3 (rhodium trichloride), is in fact a salt that is closer to RH12CL36, it still has metal/metal bonds. When you add a reductant to the solution, the chlorine drops away, but you still have metallics, because they have never NOT been metallics...
These colloidal particles begin to nucleate and come out of solution as metal, but they've never NOT been metal. Even in solution and filtered through a millipore filter, they have the metal/metal bonds and they never lose those.
In the world of an atom, we found that if you disaggregate the rhodium to the monoatomic state, the last particle you come up with is HRHCL4, which is the acid trichloride, when you take away the chlorine, you have hydrogen rhodide, a rhodide actually is a minus one, not a plus one and the physical properties of the rhodide aremore like an iodide than that of a metal.
Monoatomic gold as a chloride has a forest green color, commercial gold chloride is gold or a light green depending on how much you dilute it. No one offers monoatomic gold commercially. Edgar Cayce says you should use gold chloride solution in his Wet Cell Appliance. When you put the green gold chloride solution in the wet cell it works about 20 times better. This is the true elemental chemistry of the precious elements and it applies to all of these elements, osmium, ruthenium, rhodium, iridium, palladium, platinum and gold.
When you dissolve metallic gold into aqua regia, you convert to chloride to get rid of all the nitric. All you really have is a cluster of metallic gold. I don't care how long you boil this, it never will dissolve to the monoatom. The diatonic bonds of gold are so profoundly strong, and if you really think about it, gold has an electronic structure of 5d106s1 and that in itself tells you it will never go to the monoatom.
All of the other S1 elements are lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, these are explosively reactive substances that we call the alkaline metals. If you throw them in water, they burn. Gold has the same structure as these alkaline metals. Gold gets a hold of itself and it will not let go. You can get it down to the diatom, but it will never go farther than that, so the best that you can ever hope for, is AU2CL6. You never lose the diatonic bond, and that's why when you refine gold, you always get 99.9% recovery, because its real easy to recover, it never loses its metallic character.
But if you know how to take those metallic bonds apart and get monoatomic gold, which is what mother nature did by literally dissolving it to a single atom when it comes up out of the earth, about 98% of the gold comes up as monoatomic gold, about 2% comes up as metal. A diamond and carbon are the same element, a diamond is a high energy crystalline form of carbon. We have developed our analytical method over the centuries to recover the yellow gold. When it is dissolved to the monoatomic, it never comes back as yellow gold, it is not metallic and it has no metallic character. In fact, one of the things we did is we submitted the material to thermo-gravimetric analysis, out in Palo Alto.
When you produce monoatomic gold, it is kind of gray-black as hydrogen oride, under an inert gas, you can heat it and the proton lets go, in the same way that amorphous silicon is produced as selane to amorphous silicon. It is SIH where this is HAU. When that proton is annealed away, it goes to a snow-white powder, it loses 4/9ths of its weight.
How can it lose 4/9ths of its weight and yet if you take it back to metal, it GAINS BACK the 4/9ths of the weight? In fact, in the heating of this, the heating coil is actually around this quartz tube to control the atmosphere so nothing is interfering. The heating coil is BIFILAR WOUND to cancel all magnetic fields.
Yet, this material as we kept annealing it over and over, this white material would literally levitate, weighing less than the pan it was sitting in, if it wasn't in there, the pan would weigh more than when the powder was in it.
In cooling, sometimes it would go to 200% or 300% the weight, heat it and it goes to less than nothing and cool it and it weighs 300% more than what you started with. This only happens in this white powder form using this thermo-gravimetric analyzer. They actually give you magnetic standards that you put in the machine and heat it and it lets go its oxide as chloride, you can weigh it as you do this and everything works fine.You take 100% of gold and make the hydrogen oride pellet and it weighs 103%, but you anneal it and it goes to 5/9ths or about 62-63% of the beginning weight, and yet, the mass has never left, its still there.
The manufacturer says if you were cooling the sample, you must have superconductor, but because you are heating the sample, this stuff makes no sense at all. This led us to investigate the properties of superconductivity.
