Control sample
Untreated tap water was collected as the comparison condition.
First experiment · 2023
Two water samples.
One first observation.
The first Bloom Effect experiment compared untreated tap water with water that had driven a small turbine and laser. The reported difference is a starting point for better tests, not a causal conclusion.

From flowing tap water to a laser directed outdoors.
The photographs document the practical apparatus used to generate electricity from the water flow and operate the laser.
Turbine–laser sample
Water passed through a small turbine. The generated direct current powered a laser directed toward space; the laser did not enter the water.
Crystal imaging
Both samples were sent to the Masaru Emoto organisation in Japan for freezing and crystal-image observation.
Documented preparation detail
The bottles carried no written labels and were wrapped in aluminium foil. The turbine–laser sample was identified with a rubber band, so this should not be described as a blinded comparison.
Report data · 50 observations per sample
The supplied report contains a complete classification table.
The report identifies the samples as “Tap water” and “Energized water.” Photography took place on 4 and 5 September 2023; the report is dated 20 September 2023.
4% combined hexagon classifications
20% combined hexagon classifications
| Classification | Tap water | Turbine–laser sample |
|---|---|---|
| Beautiful hexagon | 0 | 1 |
| Inclined hexagon | 1 | 2 |
| Deformed hexagon | 1 | 7 |
| Simple hexagon | 0 | 0 |
| Square | 13 | 6 |
| Indefinite | 28 | 33 |
| Depression | 4 | 1 |
| None | 3 | 0 |
| Total | 50 | 50 |
Transparent calculation: “Beautiful,” “Inclined,” “Deformed” and “Simple Hexagon” were added for each sample and divided by 50. The resulting 4% versus 20% is a descriptive summary of the supplied classifications—not a statistical or causal conclusion.
What was seen
The supplied classification table records more observations in the combined hexagon categories for the turbine–laser sample than for untreated tap water.
Twenty photographed album pages now make 30 tap-water and 30 energized-water crystal images available for direct inspection below.
What remains unresolved
A single comparison cannot separate a treatment effect from sample handling, transport, freezing conditions, image selection, classification choices or chance.
It does not establish that water flow, electrical generation or energy emitted by the laser caused the observed difference.
Evidence status
Exploratory observation. Useful for forming a testable question; insufficient for a causal claim. Reproduction, blinding, independent measurement and preregistered analysis would strengthen a future test.
Tap-water control · Photographed archive
Ten album pages containing 30 crystal photographs.
These photographs document the physical crystal-image album for the untreated tap-water sample. The “Tap water” label is visible on the first page. Select any page to open the larger image.
Scope of this gallery
The report table contains 50 classifications for tap water. The ten supplied album pages show 30 crystal photographs, so this gallery should not be treated as a complete image set for all 50 classified observations.
Energized water · Photographed archive
Ten album pages containing 30 crystal photographs.
These photographs document the physical crystal-image album for the turbine–laser sample identified in the supplied report as “Energized water.” The label is visible on the first page. Select any page to open the larger image.
Scope of this gallery
The report table contains 50 classifications for energized water. The ten supplied album pages show 30 crystal photographs, so this gallery should not be treated as a complete image set for all 50 classified observations.
