Abstract

Aluminium has many applications in the ceramics, paints, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, chemicals, metals, and electrical industries. In this study, the influence of the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on the physicochemical and thermal properties of aluminium powder was evaluated. The test sample was divided into control and the treated parts. The control aluminium powder sample did not receive the Biofield Energy Treatment, while the treated sample received the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment remotely by a renowned Biofield Energy Healer, Gopal Nayak. The powder X-ray diffraction data exhibited that the peak intensities of the treated aluminium powder were significantly altered ranging from -2.11% to 16.03% compared to the control sample. Similarly, the crystallite sizes of the treated aluminium powder sample were significantly altered ranging from 1.48% to 30.65% compared to the control sample. Though, the average crystallite size of the treated powder sample was significantly increased by 13.65% compared with the control sample. The particle size values in the treated aluminium were significantly decreased by 36.24% (d10), 18.92% (d50), 17.89% (d90), and 20.28% {D (4,3)} compared to the control sample. The specific surface area of the treated aluminium powder (0.366 m2/g) was significantly increased by 41.31% compared with the control sample (0.259 m2/g). The Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment might lead to generate a new polymorphic form of aluminium. The novel form of aluminium would improve the quality of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, paper products, paints, varnishes, dental cement, glass, ceramics, waterproofing fabrics, etc. The Biofield Energy Treated aluminium would be useful for the aerospace industry, building industries, transportation industry, packaging, household items, electrical transmission lines, paint, solid rocket fuel, explosive, etc.

Introduction

Aluminium (Al) is a third most abundant element of the earth crust and extraordinary for its low density and its ability to resist corrosion. Aluminium itself and its alloys are very important to the aerospace industry, building industries (i.e., building facades and window frames), transportation industry (automobiles, trucks, railway cars, marine vessels, bicycles, etc.), packaging (cans, foil, container, etc.), household items (cooking utensils, baseball bats, watches, etc.), electrical transmission lines, paint, solid rocket fuel, explosive, etc. [1-3]. Many aluminum compounds such as, aluminium acetate as an astringent; aluminium phosphate used for the manufacture of glass, ceramic, paper products, cosmetics, paints, varnishes, and dental cement; aluminium hydroxide as an antacid, water purifier, manufacture of glass and ceramics, and waterproofing fabrics; lithium aluminium hydride as a powerful reducing agent; organoaluminiums used as Lewis acids, catalysts, etc. [1,4-8]. Insoluble in water and organic solvents, and soluble in dilute hydrochloric acid [9].

Physicochemical properties of a substance play a crucial role in manufacturing and other industrial purposes. Therefore, in this study, special attention was taken to improve these parameters of aluminium. In this scenario, it was experimentally proved that Biofield Energy Healing Treatment (i.e., the Trivedi Effect®) has a significant impact on the physicochemical properties of many substances [10-12]. The Trivedi Effect® is a natural and only scientifically proved phenomenon in which a person can harness this inherently intelligent energy and transfer it anywhere on the planet by means of the possible mediation of neutrinos [13]. A unique energy field exists surrounding the every living organism’s body known as Biofield Energy, which is infinite, para-dimensional electromagnetic field. The Biofield based Energy Healing Therapies have been reported to have noteworthy conclusions against various disease conditions [14]. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) recommend and included the Energy therapy under Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) category, which has been accepted by most of the USA population with several advantages [15,16]. So many scientific experiments were conducted in order to prove the impact of the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on the non-living and living object(s). The Trivedi Effect® was a proved phenomenon with significantly outcome in versatile field, i.e. organic compounds, metals and ceramic, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, cancer cells, microorganisms, and agriculture also [17-30]. Therefore, this study was designed to determine the impact of the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on the physicochemical, and thermal properties of aluminium powder using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and particle size analysis (PSA) analytical techniques.

Material and Methods
Chemicals and Reagents

Aluminium powder was purchased from Parshwamani Metals, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India and other chemicals used in the experiments also purchased from India.

Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment Strategies

The test sample aluminium powder was divided into two parts. One part of powder sample termed as control sample which did not receive the Biofield Energy Treatment. But, the control sample was treated with a “sham” healer, who did not have any knowledge about the Biofield Energy and its treatment. The second part was treated with the Trivedi Effect®- Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment remotely under standard laboratory conditions for 3 minutes and known as the Biofield Energy Treated aluminium sample. This Biofield Energy Treatment was provided through the healer’s unique energy transmission process by the renowned Biofield Energy Healer, Gopal Nayak, India, to the test sample. After the treatment both the test samples were kept in sealed conditions and characterized using PXRD and PSA techniques.

Characterization

Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD) Analysis: The PXRD analysis of control and Biofield Energy Treated aluminium powder was performed with the help of Rigaku MiniFlex-II Desktop X-ray diffractometer (Japan) [31,32]. The average size of individual crystallites was calculated from XRD data using the Scherrer’s formula (1)

Where k is the equipment constant, G is the crystallite size in nm, λ is the radiation wavelength, β is the full-width at half maximum, and θ is the Bragg angle [33].

The % change in crystallite size (G) of aluminium was calculated using the following equation 2:

Where GControl and GTreated are the crystallite size of the control and Biofield Energy Treated samples, respectively

Particle Size Analysis (PSA): The particle size analysis of aluminium powder was conducted on Malvern Mastersizer 2000, UK with a detection range between 0.01 μm to 3000 μm using wet method [34,35]. The calculations were done by using software Mastersizer Ver. 5.54.

The % change in particle size (d) for aluminium powder was calculated using the following equation 3:

Where dControl and dTreated are the particle size (μm) for at below 10% level (d10), 50% level (d50), and 90% level (d90) of the control and Biofield Energy Treated aluminium samples, respectively

The % change in surface area (S) was calculated using the following equation 4:

Where SControl and STreated are the surface area of the control and Biofield Energy Treated aluminium samples, respectively

Results and Discussion
Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD) Analysis

The PXRD diffractograms of both the control and Biofield Energy Treated aluminium powder were showed sharp and intense peaks (Figure 1) indicated that both the samples were crystalline in nature. The PXRD diffractograms of the control and Biofield Energy Treated aluminium showed the highest peak intensity at 2θ equal to 38.74° and 38.41°, respectively (Table 1, entry 1). Overall the peak intensities of the Biofield Energy Treated aluminium powder were significantly altered ranging from -2.11% to 16.03% compared to the control sample (Table 1, entry 1-4). Therefore, the crystallite sizes of the Biofield Energy Treated aluminium were significantly altered ranging from 1.48% to 30.65% compared to the control sample. However, the average crystallite size of the Biofield Energy Treated aluminium was significantly increased by 13.65% compared with the control sample.

The peak intensity of a crystalline compound changes according to the change in the crystal morphology, and alterations in the crystallite size provide the evidence of polymorphic transitions [36-38]. Thus, it was assumed that a new polymorphic form of aluminium might have produced after the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment with the help of possible mediation of neutrino oscillation [13]. Different polymorphic forms of a crystal have the significant effects on the thermodynamic and physicochemical properties like melting point, energy, stability, and solubility, which are different from the original form [39,40]. Thus, the Biofield Energy Treated aluminium would show better physicochemical properties for designing novel pharmaceutical formulations and also for the other industrial applications.

Particle Size Analysis (PSA)

The particle size distribution analysis of both the powder sample was performed and the data are presented in Table 2. The particle size values in the Biofield Energy Treated aluminium were significantly decreased at d10, d50, d90, and D (4,3) by 36.24%, 18.92%, 17.89%, and 20.28%, respectively compared to the control sample. Thus, the specific surface area (SSA) of the Biofield Energy Treated aluminium powder (0.366 m2/g) was significantly increased by 41.31% compared with the control sample (0.259 m2/g).

The PSD results indicated that the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment might be acting like an exterior force for breaking the larger particles to the smaller particle in size, hence increased the surface area of aluminium powder compared to the control sample. Reducing the particle size of a compounds increase the surface area and improve the solubility, dissolution rate, and bioavailability [41]. Aluminium has a solubility issue in water [9]. Therefore, the Biofield Energy Treated aluminium would be better for designing better for cosmetics, paints, varnishes, pharmaceutical formulation and also for the other industrial applications [41].

Conclusion

The influence of the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on the peak intensities, crystallite size, particle size, and surface area of aluminium powder was experimentally evaluated. The powder X-ray diffraction data exhibited that the peak intensities of the treated aluminium powder were significantly altered ranging from -2.11% to 16.03% compared to the control sample. Similarly, the crystallite sizes of the treated aluminium powder sample were significantly altered ranging from 1.48% to 30.65% compared to the control sample. Though, the average crystallite size of the treated powder sample was significantly increased by 13.65% compared with the control sample. The particle size values in the treated aluminium were significantly decreased by 36.24% (d10), 18.92% (d50), 17.89% (d90), and 20.28% {D(4,3)} compared to the control sample. The specific surface area of the treated aluminium powder (0.366 m2/g) was significantly increased by 41.31% compared with the control sample (0.259 m2/g). The Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment might lead to generate a new polymorphic form of aluminium. The novel form of aluminium would improve the quality of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, paper products, paints, varnishes, dental cement, glass, ceramics, waterproofing fabrics, etc. The Biofield Energy Treated aluminium would be useful for the aerospace industry, building industries (i.e., building facades and window frames), transportation industry (automobiles, trucks, marine vessels, railway cars, bicycles, etc.), packaging (cans, container, foil, etc.), household items (cooking utensils, watches, baseball bats, etc.), electrical transmission lines, paint, solid rocket fuel, explosive, etc.
