The molecule itself is a world ruled by the same sympathetic forces that govern the planets of our solar system. Its three component intermolecules, each like a small sphere, oscillate within its shell-like etheric envelope with a frequency of 20,000 per second, and the molecular etheric capsule rotates about them with inconceivable velocity. Within the molecule no intermolecule ever comes in contact with even its nearest attendant. Each is held by its gravital neutral center within its proper sphere of action. Molecular dissociation by intermittent vibration does not disturb in the next higher, the atomic subdivision, the fixed neutral center of the atomic triplets. Centripetal and centrifugal forces rule the orbits and revolutions of the components of the molecule in the same manner as interplanetary forces of the same type rule the elements of the solar system.

The individual molecules constantly oscillate through one third the molecular diameter, with a frequency of 20,000 per second. The range of oscillation inducted molecular substances by the same initial vibration differs in degree, which can be measured in substances and metals and expressed mathematically. This was actually so done in certain substances and metals by Keely, who called this mathematical ratio of frequency transmission the "coincident of transmission." [Snell Manuscript - the book, MOLECULAR AGGREGATES]
With his Generator, which was invented for the purpose of multiplication of vibrations, he secured higher frequencies by disturbance of equilibrium of mediums of different specific gravities, air as one, water as the other.
In the disintegration of water in his "Liberator" he produced the "etheric order of ozone." This he is said to have used in a "carbon register" to produce a high vibratory circuit that proved sufficient to break up cohesion, which he states is simply molecular magnetism. At that time he used, in molecular dissociation, one tuning fork of 620 per second, setting chords on the first octave, in atomic separation, two forks, one of 620 and one of 630, setting chords on the second octave, and in etheric separation used three forks, one of 620, one of 630 and one of 12,000, setting chords on the third octave.

"Were our sight able to penetrate the interstitial spaces that exist inside the orbits of the oscillating intermolecules and analyze the conditions in those interstitial spaces, where dwells incalculable latent energy, we would be bewildered with amazement. And assuming our vision, which is limited by persistency, could follow the intermolecules in their rapid oscillations and the intermolecular etheric capsule as it revolves with infinite velocity like a transparent shell about the three component atoms that exist inside it, which in turn revolve in their orbits and oscillate with even a higher frequency than the intermolecules, we would still be only on the border gazing into the remote depths of the interstitial realms that stretch far down into the interatomic, etheric and interetheric subdivisions, and, within the interetheric subdivision at last arrive at the neutral center, the nucleus of everything we know as substance. This neutral center bears about the same relation to the etheric subdivision that the atomic subdivision bears to the crude molecular, in other words, its texture is as much finer than electrons as electrons are finer than coarse molecules."

Schauberger
"In the outbirth of water we have to differentiate between two different kinds. Namely water as a carrier-substance that contains predominantly negative potentialities (substances attuned to earth frequencies) or predominantly positive potentialities (substances attuned to air frequencies). The former are to be viewed as upwardly-impelling geospheric instrumentalities and the latter as downwardly-impelling atmospheric instrumentalities. The former refine and exalt the higher-grade constituents, i.e. they serve the build-up of levitative potencies. The latter serve to cleanse the atmosphere of suspended matter, which as threshold substances still possess too little self-weight and too high a quota of levitative essences and can neither rise nor fall. It is these threshold substances that can be transformed and exalted through cycloid-space-curve motion. From a practical point of view, this is only possible through their co-oscillation with their respective carrier-substances, be it air or water. This leads to a build-up of those substances incapable of further development, resulting in a renewed intensification of the differences in potential through the spacial separation of the difference-substances. The end result is an increased motive force. This explains the concept of perpetual motion in its most natural sense."

Frequency alone in reality does not mean anything, except when an undisturbed harmonic oscillation is considered. - [Nikola Tesla]
- Number of cycles per unit time. SI unit: hertz, Hz (cycles/s). [Applied Spectroscopy, Vol. 29, #1, 1975]
- The number of vibrations per second; expressed in hertz (Hz). [The Science of Sound]
- Rate at which a waveform repeats. Expressed in cycles per second or Hertz (Hz). [Learning Music with Synthesizers]
- The number of cyclical variations per unit time. Frequency is generally expressed in Hertz (Hz) also denoted cycles per second (cps). [Compendium of Noise Engineering - Part I]
"The repetition rate of a periodic vibration within a unit time. This is normally expressed in units of cycles per minute (cpm), events per minute (epm), or cycles per second (cps or Hz). It can be expressed relative to shaft rotative speed. With respect to rotating machinery vibrations, there are two types of frequencies of interest: A: the shaft rotative frequency, and B: the various vibration frequencies as measured by vibration transducers. Rotative frequency is usually expressed in terms of rpm. Vibration frequencies are commonly expressed in terms of a fraction or percentage of the shaft rotative frequency: 1X means one times rotative frequency, 2X means two times, 1/2X, or 50 percent, means one-half times, etc." [Field of Rotating Machinery Measurement, Monitoring and Analysis]

Christ Returns - Speaks His Truth
"Visible things are but a manifestation of specific frequencies of vibration in consciousness which produces a 'SHIMMER OF MOTES OR PARTICLES' giving an appearance of solid 'matter'.
Each visible substance possesses its own unique vibrational frequency. A change in the rate of vibration produces a change in the appearance of 'matter'. As consciousness energies change so do the appearances of 'matter' change." [Christ Returns - Speaks His Truth, Letter 3, page 19] [Christ Returns - Speaks His Truth, Letter 3, page 19]
Understanding the difference between pitch and frequency By Electronic Musician( emusician ) published March 31, 2020 Knowing the difference can help you with many tasks
One thing that desktop musicians often struggle with is the distinction between creative and technical terms. An example is the musical term pitch as opposed to the scientific term frequency. Though they both describe the same thing, they aren't quite synonymous. Here's a look at the differences between the two.
One key distinction between these terms is that pitch is relative (a matter of common agreement among musicians), while frequency is absolute (a precise, unambiguous measurement). Both describe how often air-pressure levels, or changes in the air's molecular density, repeat. Nature's simplest form of repeating change is called simple harmonic motion. For our purposes, this refers to changes in air pressure that can be represented by a sine wave.
An example of a scientific description of pressure levels changing at a certain rate could be “The frequency of the oscillation is 440 cycles per second” (or 440 Hz). But a musical description would refer to pitch; for example, “That's an A above middle C.”
Both of these statements are correct, but the scientific description is precise and unwavering; the frequency is exactly 440 Hz - not 440.1, not 441, not 439. The musical description, on the other hand, refers to a flexible convention. The pitch of A could be assigned to any frequency we choose. Some orchestras tune a little sharp, for example, to an A of 442 or 444, to give their sound a little extra bite. Any frequency will do, as long as musicians playing together agree on a common reference. In the Middle Ages, when people lived in isolated communities, tuning could vary widely from place to place: a famous table made in 1862 comparing European church bells reported frequencies of A ranging from 370 Hz to 567.3 Hz. https://www.musicradar.com/how-to/understanding-the-difference-between-pitch-and-frequency
