Re: Structured water and CS
Yeah, I think so to.
Hey Steve, I was very interested in how you sell your CS to area outlets. I had this idea also, and saw that you did it. Don't know if you are willing to share on this front, but I would have several questions for you if you would email me. Thanks.
Here is an email response from Ken at Silver Puppy on this question about structured water and the stirer:
It's not the "purpose" of the mag stirrer, but it might be a side
effect, "if" structured water isn't a myth.
I have seen real research on the subject and water was able to take on a
structure under a magnetic field, but it dissolved within milliseconds
after the field was removed.
Pretty tough to get a "liquid crystal" to stay a given shape?....sorta
tends to flow unless you freeze it, then it's called ice and ice crystals.
[not freekin water crystals]
snippet
"Another factor affecting the life of the colloid is the purity of the
water. The purer the bulk water, the less interference there is to the
formation of liquid crystal structures. If water contains minerals that
have opposite charges to the colloids, these minerals tend to be attracted
to the colloids interfering with the formation of liquid crystals. "
According to that, pure water is what you want in order to make a
maintainable structure and the structure isn't a water crystal, it's a
mineral crystal in water... ie silver.
IF a magnetic vortex is what provides a mineral crystal structure
pattern by structuring the water while under the influence of the magnetic
vortex, the mag stirrer will structure the water while it's still pure and
doesn't have all those silver ions and hydroxl anions in it...then those
elements could be added to the water structure to pattern the mineral
structure and everybody [science and pseudo
Science ] is happy....if not
all that accurate.
"If" that's the case, we've killed 2 birds with one process progression stone.
There are only 2 silver generator makers that I know of that use a magnetic
stirrer. I'm one of them. The other is Fred Sprague at
http://www.colloidaltech.com...he
copied mine and a few other of the pups features.
Good guy, BTW.
Incidentally, looking into
Alkaline Water makers [$600 - $1200 ] It would
appear that they are nothing different from a CS generator running on DC
with a reverse osmosis filter between the electrodes and they use platinum
electrodes rather than silver.
The CS process makes
Alkaline Water [ by definition, water rich in
hydroxl anions ] Some of those Hydroxlys combine with the silver ions to
make silver hydroxide after a while...but..when the CS is very fresh, you
have both free silver ions AND strong Alkaline water.
I used to think it was the silver ions that gave CS that "bitter" flavor,
but it turns out that silver has no flavor and it's the Hydroxl rich water
that tastes bitter.
I did an experiment to prove it using Hydrogen Peroxide to detect silver
ions in one chamber and none in the other chamber of an alkaline water
maker using silver instead of platinum electrodes.
The silver ion side reacted violently with
H2O2 (Hydrogen-Peroxid) and had no flavor. The
Hydroxl side displayed no reaction to the
H2O2 (Hydrogen-Peroxid) and had a very bitter flavor.
Hydroxls might enhance silver ions to give the bitter flavor a metallic
taint that I did not detect in the pure hydroxl water [just plain bitter ]
but do detect in CS.
Very fresh CS reacts violently with Hydrogen Peroxide AND has a bitter
flavor that diminishes some over time.
Does the spinning magnet do anything at all that lasts, at all? Heck if
I know. Maybe. It's hard to sort the BS from the bull sometimes.
I do know it moves the water while keeping water away from
motors. Electro-mechanics and water mix quite well to make motor stopping
corrosion and THAT is why I use it.
The pseudo sciences of
Alkaline Water and Structured water might be cross
talk...something to it all, even "if" neither is everything they say it is
so they can sell you something.
Could be, that would be great and something to consider...but I "sell"
something that moves water and doesn't corrode itself to a halt.
To me, the rest is magic and placed in that category.
And.....science ....is just repeatable magic with the spells spelled out.
Pseudo science....a mis-spelling lesson in Phonics double talk? Sometimes
it goes places you can get back to without really knowing how, or where
that is.
If it works, use it.
Doesn't matter if it makes sense or not.
But, you can generally do that a lot cheaper than a magic salesman says you
can, or for free...or, already are and don't know it yet.
