Recently, we had a discussion about the medicinal properties of "electrolyzed water," and someone brought up the point that the type of electrode used to electrolyze the water (silver, for example) may have contributed to its medicinal benefits. Well, why not electrolyze water at different voltages (both AC and DC) using relatively pure carbon electrodes? This way the ordering of the water molecules (which, presumably, is responsible for the water's beneficial effects) can be studied while excluding the presence of any metal colloids or ions. I don't believe the small amount of carbonic acid produced should obscure the results, but if it does, I'll bet using gold electrodes at modest voltages would work as well. I'll await the response of the silver list to see if I'm correct about the lack of interest to do research. Roger I would like to try some experiments as you suggest, but someone like you would have to tell me how. I have a SOTA instruments silver maker. It has a the leads and a battery that powers it. How would I experiment with different amps and stuff without risking destroying my gadget?
Barb: It is very unlikely that you would damage the unit since it's probably protected by a fuse or circuit breaker, and besides, you'll be starting with distilled water that has a very high resistance (so no more than a few ma, at most, would pass) What is the purpose of changing the voltages and amps? What results would you predict for such experimentation, in other words what is your hypothesis? Barb: My working hypothesis is that polarizing water molecules to produce structured water may depend on the magnitude of voltage used, and that DC may be more effective than AC since there is much, much more time to have the molecules "line up" with DC current. As far as current itself goes, that's just a byproduct of your particular setup and voltage selected. You have got me to thinking though….always dangerous for everyone when I start to think.J In the past year or so I have discovered the works of Viktor Schauberger sometimes called "The Water Wizard", in fact the one book I have on him bears that title, but I know there are other books on him and his work and a few videos I hope to buy one of these days. ( I have a long "to buy" list ) Anyway his theories are fascinating. He does not see water as being of one type or quality. He did studies on living water, and found that the only healthy water is living water and that is water that is moving. (Makes me think of Brownian motion) I don’t yet understand his theories on turbulence and water quality, but I would like to learn and maybe devise experiments relating his work to making colloidal silver a more effective product. But I will have to learn this stuff on the fly. As this books list of chapter titles is intimidating. Titles like "High-Frequency Water" – "Fire Under Water" "The Natural Reconversion of Seawater into Fresh Water"…"The Double Spiral Flow Pipe" "The Pulsation of Water" "Healing water for Human, Beast and Soil" …Temperature Gradients-Full & Half Hydrological Cycles… That is just a few of the somewhat intimidating topics in this book on the technical aspects of water, but I am game if you are. After all, my first vocation has always been that of "mad scientists". Regards, Barb >> Barb: Well, as you can probably tell I love research, and would be delighted to help any would be "mad scientists" qualify for a Nobel Prize nomination, but first we would have to stack the Nominating Committee with mavericks such as ourselves.
