Movie 1. Proton-induced water soliton. A ballistic H+ is released from H2O-H+ with a
kinetic energy of 0.5proton*volt, which corresponds to an initial velocity of
10km/sec. By coherent exchange of microwave photons during 10-10sec,
along a straight path of 500nm, it induces cooperative precession of 13300
electrically polarized water-molecule dimers. The dimers reorganize into
non-radiating octal rings that compose a persistent rowing water soliton.

Movie 2. Rowing soliton. By peripheral rowing-like action, the water soliton continues to propagate
during 20msec at a velocity of 25”m/sec, and is able to generate and overcome a
maximal pressure-head of 1 kgwt/cm2.
