Silver positive or negative
Well I like long answers, sorry about that. But I feel that people need to understand more about the complex mechanisms of energized water.
Silver technically has a positive charge, but the matrixes of silver ions are attractive to lots of oxygen and thus likely to give it a negative charge overall. Besides, bacteria grow in positive charge not negative charge, but silver is unique do to its attraction to oxygen which makes it negative. Now if you were in outer space, I would assume silver is positive - no oxygen. Remember that most harmful bacteria and fungus are anaerobics and they die in oxygen rich environments. NASA has known for a long time that silver attracts many times its volume for oxygen and
Colloidal Silver are most active when hydrogen peroxide or ozone is added. Thus, if you want to make a strong negatively energized water, just get your silver wire and shake it very hard. Silver oxidizes bacteria, same is true for hydrogen peroxide, oxygen, ozone, sodium perborate, sodium percarbonate, etc. which is used for curing cancer, aids, flu, colds etc., for viruses are also anaerobic also.
Oxygen will be absorbed increasing the negative charge. The secret to making very simple primitive energized water is to shake the water if you run out of batteries or cannot find silver wire. It is helpful somewhat with your ingenious styrofoam and see if this is true.
I did some multimeter tests when water is sprinkled or shaken, it comes out to somewhat a negative charge. Same is true if I sprinkled
Bentonite powder clay (a small pinch. )I assume shaking is better for it forms scalar wave and/or longitudinal wave which provides for a healthy water. Perhaps this is why homeopathy are so effective it is the energized shaken water which occurs during sucussing. Water as you know is great for storing vibrational fields especially in plastics.
Again, thank you for your feedback. I learn a lot about your styrofoam. I completely forgot that leyden jar (spelled in U.S.A).
