THE PROBLEMS OF DAMPNESS REMOVAL IN BUILDINGS ANS CONSTRUCTIONS
Języki publikacji
Abstrakty
I am a construction engineer with many years of experience as regards projects and execution at home and abroad. In the course of my professional work I came across the problem of dampness in the walls of buildings and constructions upon many occasions. It follows from my observations that during the last twenty years a breakthrough has taken place in the field of overcoming the harmful impact of dampness. For all practical purposes, up to the 1970s there was no effective way of dampness removal. The applied methods such as the removal of water by means of heating the damp walls, the exchange of horizontal and vertical insulation etc. provided certain results but were very expensive and sometimes their effects were contrary to the expected ones. The exploitation of the phenomenon of electro-osmosis (invented by prof. Reuss, Moscow 1809) proved to be revolutionary. In Poland serious attention was paid to this problem beginning with the 1960s (lhave ascertained this fact upon the basis of accessible works on the subject). The elektro-osmotic dampness removal method, prepared at the Department of Land Engineering of Warsaw Polytechnic appeared to have a great future and to solve this problem in an inexpensive, practical and final manner. Many persons with considerable scientific and practical achivements were engaged in testing and implementing the particular elements and stages in the liquidation of dampness and its effects. Nonetheless, the absence of a complex, scientific and sufficiently widely propagated study concerning the physical state of the buildings has become obvious. At the moment, great attention is paid in many European countries to a natural dampness removal method based on the employment of the electromagnetic field of the Earth, discovered and implemented by the author of the AQUAPOL system, Wilhelm Mohorn. This method is founded on three newly discovered principles of physics: the phenomenon of magnetoosmosis, the phenomenon of magnetophoresis and magnetokinesis, which is a sum of the two mentioned phenomena. Magneto-osmosis signifies the reversal of the electric potential of the wall by means of a precisely defined and polarized, extremely weak electromagnetic field with a closely defined frequency. Magnetophoresis is the movement of coloidal particles, supplied with a small natural electrical charge in capillary dampness and under the influence of a field, as in the case of magnetoosmosis. The movement of capillary water, imposed by the field, together with constant particles constitutes magnetokinesis. The author of this system, W. Mohorn constructed a resonnance generator which drew energy from the electromagnetic field of the Earth and emmitted a precisely defined special field. The placing of such a generator in a damp building causes the movement of capillary water in a given direction. Needless to say, in the case of dampness removal this movement of the water is directed towards the foundations. The generator draws energy from the electromagnetic field of the Earth and does not require any additional source; since it also does not contain any mechanical or electronic parts, it is for all practical purposes as durable as the time of the technical life of the building i. e. 50-100 years. The expansion of the AQUAPOL enterprise is astonishing. The prototype of the generator came into being in 1984. In 1986 four objects in Austria were the first to be protected from dampness. From 1986 this method began to oust all others in Austria, 500 generators were installed abroad and W. Mohorn published his three new principles of physics. In 1989 about 3000 generators were functioning and over 5000 in the middle of 1990. The method is applied widely in Hungary, Yugoslavia, Germany, Italy, Spain and Roumanie and at the moment is being introduced in Poland. Objects in question include castles and monasteries as well as churches all over Europe, and no complaints have been filed up to now. All the facts are documented and available to persons interested in all the AQUAPOL branches in Europe, including Poland. The most celebrated objects subjected to dampness removal include the Hungarian Houses of Parliament in Budapest, the medieval Mashevo monastery in Serbia as well as many others. At present, the historical building of the Old Powder Magazine in Warsaw is being protected by means of the method in question. From the economic point of view, the Mohorn method remains superlative. I would like to appeal for reflections on this subject and am willing to meet all persons interested in dampness removal in order to share my experiences.
