Are the indications that Donut battery contains water consistent with the Pollack battery property

Donut Lab of claims of having constructed a battery with almost miraculous properties. Using Claude Cowork Deep Research, Marko Manninen has carried out an analysis (see this) about what the Donut battery could be.

I have developed a TGD inspired model for what I call Pollack battery (see this, this and the article ). The Pollack battery is inspired by the TGD based view of quantum biology and might have something to do with the Donut battery.

Pollack effect would explain the rapid charging reported also for Donut battery. The most recent test by VTT studied the Donut battery for which the plastic pouch containing the battery was degraded at temperature near 100 degrees Celsius (see this). According to the VTT raport, vacuum was lost in the high temperature test test and agglutinations have contained a hole or a hole has appeared during the test.

  1. The expansion of the popped battery by 17 percent has been used as a counter argument to the claim that the counterpart of electrolyte is in a solid state.

    The temperature of 100 degrees indicates that water was present and evaporated at this temperature. Water expands dramatically in evaporation. During the preparation of the paste UV drying is applied and if this drying has failed to be complete, the battery could have contained water. In TGD framework one can ask whether water was somehow created by the Pollack effect.

  2. Water, which has been traditionally considered a battery poison, was found a few years ago to increase the charge storage capacity by a factor of two. Did the boiling of the water present from the beginning or the water created in the system cause the pop? Could the water give an additional contribution to the Pollack effect and improve the Pollack battery in some aspects, at least at temperatures near the physiological temperature, which could be optimal for the Pollack effect? Or is the effect opposite?
  3. How could water have been created if it was not present originally? Let's assume a Pollack battery based on nanotube electrodes. The addition of -OH groups induce the transformations C=C → C-(C-OH). This is necessary for the occurrence of the Pollack effect as a transition -OH→ O- + dark proton at the flux tube. Did dehydration of the hydrated nanotube, resulting in the formation of H2O molecules, occur? The water created in this way would have evaporated at 100 degrees and induced the expansion of the battery.
  4. How would dehydration have occurred?
    1. Assuming that 2 -OH groups at adjacent hexagonal rings of nanotube (defects in the nanotube) have been transformed by the Pollack effect into the state -O- + dark proton H+ on the magnetic body.
    2. Assume that two dark protons drop back from the magnetic body by the reverse Pollack effect and attach to the second O- so that H2O+ ion is formed. Suppose that after this the second O- donates its electron for H2O+ ion so that H2O and =O are formed so that one -OH defect of the nanotube disappears. The reverse Pollack effect would therefore produce dehydration of the electrode. The rates for the Pollack effect and its reversal by the dropping of two dark protons would determine the fraction of water present in equilibrium state.
See the article Are Pollack batteries possible? and the chapter TGD and condensed matter.
