Hello Katarina and fellow Listmates!
Katarina, do you have any more BIG questions? Geesh.
So far as I have found, there are 4 things that change when
water is structured:
Increased ultraviolet absorption
Change in surface tension
Change in dielectric constant
Change in PH
There are things germinating behind these beady eyes.
(Grandma didn't like to waste anything and told me whenever I
found empty space that I should put in some potting soil and
plant something.)
UV Absorption:
I think it was Marshall Dudley who mentioned that he had
experienced different patterns in water(using a spectro-
photometer) that had been exposed to magnets, crystals,"healing
hands", etc.
I am like everybody else, just when I need to analyze UV
absorption, my Bat Spectrophotometer is in my Bat Utility
Belt (BUB.) which is still at the cleaners.( Mom always said
that when it comes to BUBs., cleanliness is next to Godliness.)
There must be some way to correlate the UV absorption
patterns with something easier for the folks at home to use.
Sound absorption? Other ranges of electromagnetic energy
absorption? Better tales of woe absorption? (becomes a better
listener?)
Ok, so part of the potted plant is working on that approach.
Surface Tension:
I thought "Gee, maybe it could be as simple as having a piece
of ceramic tile that could be acquired at almost any home
improvement center (so it would be "standardized)"
I was thinking that a water proof grid of lines could be
applied so that we could put a drop of "before" water on the
tile grid and see how many lines it spreads out after some
standardized time. Then a drop of the "after" water to see
how many more lines or less lines it spreads out. The
difference could be an indication of degree of structure.
However, at one site I visited, the experimenter had a brief
blurb about putting cups of water on the magnets. He said
that he had heard somewhere that the surface tension changes
only about 2% and with one pole (I forget which) it goes up and
with the other, it goes down. If that is close to true, then
I suspect it is going to be difficult to see a 2% difference
in how much the water spreads out.
Dielectric Constant:
For a given size and shape of a substance, the electrical
capacity of that substance is apparently determined mostly by
the dielectric constant.
So,if we make a test cell (small plastic box, a vial, etc.) with flat
electrodes on the outside (perhaps foil on the flat
sides of the box) we have a capacitor. If we use that capacitor
to to help tune an oscillator (555?), then as different liquids
are put into the "cell", their differing dielectric constants
will be expressed as differing capacitances. That, in turn,
would change the oscillator frequency accordingly.
Now, the bottom line is that the less the dielectric constant
changes,the more sensitive the apparatus has to be.
The potted plant is working on that too.
PH:
This could be the easiest and simplest method. It seems to me
that it depends on 2 things: How much the PH changes and where
do we have to go to get a PH kit that is sensitive enough (not
to mention how much?)
If Murphy isn't involved this time, the "better" PH kits used
for swimming pools or fish tanks might work.
At least that is easy to check out.
Alas, it will be two weeks before I have the funds to get rolling on
this stuff, but then, the ol' potted plant will have
grown two weeks wiser!
Sorry for the long post, but I thought it best to take it in
one chunk.
Well, time to go water the plants. Tsk Tsk
Be in Wellness,
David
