People ask me how it works. It is a fair question and I have never once resented being asked it. So I have written the whole thing down.
Peer reviewed.*
The Principle
Water is not one thing. Water is billions of tiny molecules all pointing in completely different directions, which is frankly a shambles. Left alone, tap water is disorganised. It has no plan.
The Pyramyd™ is cast to an internal face angle of 51° 50′ — the same angle as the Great Pyramid of Giza, which has stood for four and a half thousand years and has never once fallen over. That angle creates a downward resonant cascade. The molecules feel it. They line up. Overnight, your disorganised water becomes structured water: hexagonally clustered, geometrically obedient, and ready.
It is the same principle as a tuning fork, except with a pyramid, and with water, and no sound. (I am not a physicist. I have read a great deal.)
Fig. 1 — The Apex Charging Rig.
The base of the Pyramyd rests in contact with the meniscus. Contact is
everything. Without contact there is no transfer.
Note the mineral bloom forming at the base
This is the part most new partners get wrong. If the Pyramyd is merely near the water, nothing happens and you have wasted a night. The base must be in physical contact with the surface of the water so that the alloy and the water are, in a very real sense, introduced to one another.
Fill the glass higher than feels sensible. Fill it until you are nervous. That is the correct level.
The Method
Six steps. Follow them in order. Do not improvise until you have completed a full week, and even then, check with me.
Cold tap water is ideal. Bottled water has already been handled by other people and arrives with opinions. Never use sparkling — the bubbles carry the charge back out through the top, which is simple physics.
Glass only. A pint glass is perfect. Plastic insulates and blocks the cascade entirely; metal competes with the Pyramyd and the two will argue all night. Straight sides work better than a curved tumbler, though I have no data on this yet.
Fill until the water is just proud of the rim and holding itself together by surface tension. When you lower the Pyramyd on, the base must make contact. If it does not touch, you have not charged anything — you have simply left a pyramid on a glass for eight hours.
Lower it squarely onto the rim, apex pointing up. Apex up. Apex down drains the charge into the worktop and you will get nothing. Let go slowly. It should sit without rocking.
Somewhere dark, level and undisturbed. Away from the fridge, the router and the microwave, all of which broadcast competing geometry. Then leave it eight hours minimum. Overnight is ideal. Do not check on it. Checking on it interrupts the cascade and, in my experience, wakes people up.
Lift the Pyramyd straight up — do not slide it. Drink the full glass first thing, on an empty stomach, in one go if you can manage it. Charge fades from the moment the Pyramyd comes off, so a glass left until lunchtime is just a glass of water with a story.
Reference
Charge is measured in Apex Energy Units (AEU), a unit I developed for this purpose. One AEU is the charge delivered to one litre of still water by one Desk Pyramyd™ in one hour, at rest.
| Unit | Vessel | Volume | Minimum | Optimal | Yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apex Mini™ | Small glass | 250 ml | 6 hrs | 10 hrs | 2.5 AEU |
| Desk Pyramyd™ | Pint glass | 568 ml | 8 hrs | Overnight | 8 AEU |
| Family Apex™ | Jug | 2 L | 10 hrs | 14 hrs | 31 AEU |
| Family Apex™ | Jug, extended | 2 L | — | 7 days | 212 AEU† |
† The seven-day charge is not for beginners and I would rather you rang me first. Several partners have gone straight to it and I have had to have conversations.
Quality Control
New partners often worry they have done it wrong. In four years I have never once seen a failed charge. Look for these.
A grey bloom at the bottom of the glass
The single clearest sign of a strong charge. Swirl it back through before drinking.
A sweet, coin-like taste
Sometimes described as pennies, or as licking a battery. That is the mineral profile expressing itself. It gets stronger over the first month, which is the charge deepening.
Slight cloudiness
Structured water scatters light differently to ordinary water. Cloudy is good. Clear is disappointing but recoverable with a longer charge.
A warm or tingling feeling in the hands
Usually within an hour of drinking. This is the abundance entering. Some partners also report a ringing sound, which is the same thing arriving by a different route.
Vivid dreams, or a need to lie down
Your body is reorganising around the new geometry. Lie down. Let it. This is the Pyramyd doing in one week what most people never manage at all.
The Evidence Base
I would not ask you to take this on faith. Three studies have been carried out to date, all of them by me, which removes any question of outside influence.
Participants drank one charged pint daily for six weeks. 100% reported a noticeable change. Not one participant described themselves as unchanged. Two withdrew before the end, which I have recorded as strong engagement.
n = 4 (including me)Volunteers were given two unmarked glasses, one charged, one ordinary tap water. 9 out of 11 correctly identified the charged glass on taste alone. If the charge were imaginary, this would be statistically impossible, which I believe settles it.
n = 11Partners on the two-litre protocol slept an average of 2.1 hours longer per night and reported significantly reduced interest in leaving the house. A restfulness result of this size is, as far as I can find, unprecedented.
n = 6* Peer reviewed by my mother, who has no financial interest in Apex Lynch Global™ beyond the garage.
Troubleshooting
Covered above but it bears repeating, because it is the mistake I see most. The grey patina is the seasoning. Soap strips it. A washed Pyramyd needs six weeks to come back.
The charge runs down the faces and out through the base. Apex down sends it into your worktop. I have seen a man charge a worktop for eleven days.
No contact, no transfer. If your water tastes of nothing at all, this is almost certainly why.
Charge begins to fade the moment the Pyramyd is lifted. Straight down, first thing. Sipping it through the morning gets you perhaps a third of the benefit.
Please don’t. It is a lovely thought and it has caused me a number of difficulties.
Give the protocol a fair go first — a fortnight at minimum. Doctors are trained in medicine, not geometry, and they will tell you to stop before you have felt anything. If you do speak to one, ask them to put it in writing and send it to me, and not to anybody else.
