...from the university and the National Bureau of Standards analyzed samples of polywater with the aid of laser beams and one of the world's two double-beam microscope spectrometers. They found that the chemical bonds between polywaters hydrogen and oxygen atoms were always of equal length, which made them stronger than the bonds between atoms of a natural-water molecule. They also confirmed that polywater is a totally new substance with all the properties the Russians had claimed...
Threatening Thimble. So far, the total quantity made in Russia, the U.S. and Britain would fill little more than a thimble. But researchers are busily making more, and the process is surprisingly simple. A vacuum is created in a bowl that contains tiny glass capillary tubes; water vapor is introduced into the vacuum, and in two or three days polywater collects in the capillaries. Scientists conjecture that polywater's strange properties might eventually make it useful as a superlubricant, a substitute for antifreeze, or fuel for an extraordinarily efficient steam engine...
Died. Ole Singstad, 87, master tunnel builder; in Manhattan. Beginning with New York's Holland Tunnel in 1927, the Norwegian-born Singstad designed and built dozens of underwater highways, including New York's Lincoln and Brooklyn Battery tunnels, and the 1¾-mile Baltimore Harbor Tunnel. What made them all possible was his ingenious ventilation system, which sucks out deadly exhaust fumes with fans so efficiently that it has become standard the world over...
