In the waters of the oceans dissolved many millions of tons of gold. Is it possible to remove it from the water? Such a problem is the interest of scientists, and not only scientists, has for at least a hundred years.

The first report of detection of gold in sea water, made by a member of the French Academy of Sciences, dates back to 1886 after the First World War, this question has already been seriously studied in Germany, when it was imposed on the country to pay compensation. German scientists during this period persistently tried to find a way to extract gold from seawater.  As a result of these efforts ocean sciences has been enriched with new data: In search of the area where the water would have more gold, the German research vessel “Meteor” scoured along and across the waters of the Atlantic during the 1924 – 1928 years. It has been found, however, that the concentration of gold rarely exceeds a few thousandths of a milligram per ton of water. The highest content of gold was discovered in the South Atlantic, and made it about 1 mg of the precious metal in 1 m of water. Subsequently, the concentration of dissolved gold was determined by many researchers.  The data obtained often differed by more than a thousand times, and therefore the question of the average content of gold in the waters of the ocean, until recently, remained open.

It turns out that even long-dead leaves of trees and shrubs continue to drink our moisture, participating in the great water cycle in nature. and the matter is this. We know that the rains are the cause of dust, bearing in saturated humidity air. They have become centers of condensation (precipitation water) – they form water droplets, which then spilled to the ground as rain. After a series of studies, scientists have concluded that most of the dust particles, condensation of moisture from the air – the remains of fallen and rotting leaves, blown by winds in the atmosphere.

The sailors floating in the Pacific Ocean, have repeatedly noted a strange phenomenon: in full with no wind on the surface of the ocean drilling giant water bank. At this point, seismographs did not record the vibrations of the seabed or the eruption of underwater volcanoes. Comments from U.S. oceanographers have identified the frequency of occurrence of the giant trees of water: the interval between them is two weeks to a month.At the Marianas and the Carolinas built special monitoring station. Scientists called these trees "waves on the planet, that they arise due to the pull of the moon in the Tierra del Sol m somehow related to the mechanism of the tides.
