How does MRET compare to oxygenated and counter-rotation spun water?
This is an interesting subject and has a lot of debate. First I and most scientists doubt you can oxygenate water to any degree. Physically the water will only saturate a certain level and after that the oxygen will bubble out. Most oxygenated waters you need to drink immediately and that leads to questions of how long it lasts in the stomach acids and will it last long enough to get in the blood. We suspect that MRET holds oxygen as good as or better than other methods because when freezing water we see more bubbles trapped in the MRET water. As far as counter-rotation is concerned I would argue that it is chicanery. Counter-rotation is relative. What happens if you turn the jug upside down? Is it now rotating clockwise and will not work? What if you take it to the other hemisphere where you are effectively upside down from your normal position? Do you need to now rotate it clockwise in the other hemisphere?
