noun: the process of oxidizing; the addition of oxygen to a compound with a loss of electrons; always occurs accompanied by reduction
noun: the process by which a substance combines with oxygen or loses hydrogen

"The oxidation process is an effect of the electric pressure of gravitation." [Russell, The Universal One, Book 02 - Chapter 12 - Gravitation and Radiation, Gravitation and Radiation - page 142-143]
Schauberger
Animating energies come into being when etherealised (helium-like) ethericities of carbone and the condensed waste of solar energy in gaseous form, so-called oxygen, become bound together and emulsify. This happens when the intermixture of diffuse substances takes place where a process of reduction occurs in lieu of oxidation.

Temperature group A (T1 - Schauberger) is entirely unknown in scientific circles today and is also missing in our conceptual and linguistic vocabulary. All that is known therefore are the so-called processes of oxidation, combustion or decomposition; the so-called reduction process being understood only in part. And this only to the extent to which it is responsible for the separation of both stocks of primary substances, namely the dissociation of the allotropic carbones and oxygenes present in deceased organic or inorganic structures.

Fundamentally, therefore, we are dealing with two metabolic processes entirely different in nature and function, both of which are necessary, for without any purging and purifying process no more highly evolved forms could be built up.
These two metabolic processes, which in every organism interact reciprocally, are:
(a) the process of oxidation, and
(b) the process of reduction,
which, while known to today's chemist, are initiated unnaturally, therefore in the wrong way, and carried out with the use of ordinary temperature-forms. [The Energy Evolution - Harnessing Free Energy from Nature, The Life-Current in Air and Water]
There is insufficient space here to explain the nature of biomagnetic and bioelectric currents or their origin and purpose in more detail. They always come into being and operate simultaneously, because everything is bipolar, i.e. in every man the feminine also exists, and in every woman the masculine. Here too it is merely a question of which type of molecular motion took place first, thus giving precedence to processes of oxidation or reduction. All it takes therefore is a small starting impulse to determine the fate of all living things and whether they are dispatched on a downward or upward path.

This tremendous power arises from cold oxidative processes, which take place when stocks of bio-centrifugated carbonic acid - as was stated above - react to bio-centrifugence, and under the effects of certain other co-factors attain their relatively highest state of expansion (ray-form state).

palatable[2] in order to act as levitational fuel for the others (viz. the branches swaying in the wind, whose source of motion - the wind - also arises through reactive differences in temperature). The vertically disposed forces of cyclones, typhoons, hurricanes, etc. are also founded on this developmental process and owe their kinetic energy to cold processes of oxidation.

'Conventional' science and fire-spitting technology naturally do this very differently, indeed in a diametrically opposed fashion. They exploit hot processes of oxidation as the developmental basis for the build-up of a decomposive and retrogressive force, which in Nature is employed for the recall for reconstitution of what is unfit for development. No wonder therefore that this type of force reacts, with resistances that increase by the square, against the insanity of its wrongful exploitation for the purposes of the build-up of culture. Therefore the crowning law of today's technology, the conservation of energy law and the so-called heat equivalent are founded on an unnatural developmental basis. To put it plainly, contemporary science and its technology have backed the wrong horse and have ridden it for so long, or have sacrificed the available raw materials to power precisely the opposite force to such an extent as to drag in an economic collapse by its head and shoulders. It has not understood how to copy the ideal method of generating power and formative energy, or through the naturalesque transformation of inferior raw materials into quality products, how to make the natural sources of energy available in unlimited quantity for a virtually free, silent and development furthering mechanical power.

Forestry
This would involve the propagation and build-up of fast-growing species of valuable timber by restoring cycloid-space-curve-motion through the re-establishment of naturalesque proportions in the intermixture of various crown and root systems. This will resuscitate the reactive temperature-differences (the reinstatement of microclimates through the graduated arrangement of over- and understoreys and juxtaposition of species) through which the heat-consuming upflows of refreshing and cooling substances ascend like cycloid whirlwinds, which trigger cold processes of oxidation enabling the propagation of species of fine timber on the forest floor (formation of the germinating zone).

aggressive again, as soon as it is expressed this gas will be hungrily absorbed by the surrounding atmospheric oxygen. This O has H and C in tow, which have been drawn along with it due to centripetence. What is important here, is whether this process is permitted to proceed, 1. via warm, or 2., via cold oxidation.
