I activated electric water appear special properties: this moisture has a significant influence on the course of oxidation-reduction processes in animate and inanimate nature. Using water activated, enthusiasts achieve success in a wide range of areas, from industrial to household.
A compilation about the activators that can be done in a home the workshop, based on the materials of popular Bulgarian weekly "the Spirit myself."
"Ignorance of the chemical formula schnitzel does not affect its taste," the say the pragmatists. Similar to their approach to the assessment and protracted research activated or, as some say, are "dead" and "living" water. Without waiting the verdict of mainstream science, many practitioners and lovers of "non-traditional, our methods use the first of the aforementioned marvel-liquids (with the inherent her acidic properties) for disinfection and wound treatment, seed treatment, the increase the shelf life of perishable products. Experiment with it and in other areas: from attempts to settle specific household tasks to produce highly durable concrete. "Living" water is often used not only as active stimulant (in particular, for rapid overgrowing and purulent wounds in people tighten the skin cracks and nipples in farm animals, the activation seeds before sowing), but also for the prevention of a number of colds and as a supposedly promising cosmetics...
The scheme, on which enthusiasts, pragmatists receive water with healing and such economically promising properties, in fact, reduces to the well-known and all recognized electrolysis, when a current is passed through the usual H20 at the positive electrode, called the anode, is formed an excess of hydrogen ions and Wednesday is taking acidic properties (obtained anolyte), and near negative (cathode) - there is increased concentration of hydroxyl ions group, this part of the leach solution (catholyte).
So after turning off the current of the liquid is again becoming equally neutral, an activator of pre-bisected by a semi-permeable for ions partition. But most go on technological trick, putting one of electrodes, for example, the anode, in a special capacity of unglazed porous ceramics, non-varnished wood, coconut, "boiled" (to remove technological glue) cardboard, canvas, leather and similar "monopolyprotected" material.
So, catholyte and anolyte, resulting even in the simplest of devices, not mixed and easily retrieved for future practical use. About the extent of their activity can be judged by so-called hydrogen index pH to measure which serve as "ion meter" and other, rare in household appliances. I solid catholyte pH value shall be not less than 9 units, while the anolyte - not more than 5.5. Normal water has a pH=7.
Attention! To control the pH should be only when the activator!
About "fortress" of catholyte and anolyte can be judged by "school-chemical" the indicator is litmus paper, which, as you know, is red in acid, and turns blue in an alkaline environment. However, most probably available to use phenolphthalein, which is under the same name or as a laxative "Blizzard", "Purger" is sold in all pharmacies. Dissolving tablet such funds in tablespoon H20, get an excellent indicator, a drop of which instantly pinkish catholyte sample (a tablespoon of "living" water). But worth it this painted catholyte to drop in anality sample, as right in the eyes to be discoloration, signifying and a higher the activity of "dead" water.
The performance of a simple "tourist" version of the activator small: up to 1.5 liters of catholyte and anolyte in 3-liter jar for 5-15 min, depending on the number and initial water salinity, strength of the noise current, the size (more precisely, activating the surface) electrodes. Hence the way to improve the construction.
Fig. 1. Principle (a) and device (b) to obtain "live" and "dead" water in small quantity: 1 - body (glass jar, capacity 0.8-3 l) with "dead" water; 2 - semipermeable vessel (unglazed porous ceramics, wood, coconut walnut, "boiled" cardboard, canvas or leather) with "live" water; 3 - l-shaped the electrode (aluminum, s1,5-2, 2 pieces); 4 - plastic cover (2 PCs); 5 - semiconductor diode (iobr > 300V, I PR > 0.5 A); 6 - screw MH with nut and three washers (2 EA.); 7 - the cord with plug.
Fig. 2. Homemade vessel-membrane, ion polyphonically easy recovered by digestion of (or replacing) a practical and cheap canvas liner: 1 - perforated housing - "the holder" (Karbolit, glass fiber); 2 - canvas liner in the form of a capacious glass; 3 - power-screed.
Fig. 3. Home activator enhanced performance: 1 - body electrode (aluminum tank) with "live" water; 2 - semi-permeable vessel (neglazurovannaja porous ceramics, unvarnished wood) with "dead" water; 3 - perforated protective glass; 4 - nut M6 with locking washer; 5 - "surface-increasing the sidewall of the Central electrode (aluminum glass, 2 pieces); 6 - aluminium hub of the Central electrode (3 pieces); 7 - cover protection perforated glass; 8 - bolt M6 with spring and plain washers; 9,10 - housing and cover rectifier cover; 11 - the cord; 12 - lock switch; 13 - plug / EU plug; 14 - eyeliner the body-electrode (stranded wire NNW-2.5 with termination); 15,16 - bolt with M4 nut; 17 - G-bracket - heat sink (aluminum plate 60x20x2); 18 - rectifier semiconductor diode (iobr; > 300V, I PR > 10 (A) "phase" wire, soldered to the anode; 19 - in terminal block; 20 - screw MH with nut and washer (3 EA.); 21 - - the led Assembly (from modern household equipment, 220); the material of parts POS. 3,7,9,10 - heat resistant Karbolit.
A perfectly acceptable home source's "live" and "dead" water, in particular, to serve as multi-purpose activator, manufactured on the basis... saucepan (cooking pot) with high-performance Central electrode, recruited from metal cups or homemade shells, substantially increasing the active surface. The same source of power is household single-phase network with a well-grounded neutral conductor. Connecting to it is performed by using a plug Auroville, completely eliminating random hit the "phases" on the case is the second electrode. And to best protect this allows the user to design additionally introduced protective perforated glass, insulating enclosure for the rectifier compartment, and the led, timely switch on signaling activator in the network.
The dimensions of the electrodes and the distance between them is not critical and almost no affect the quality of the resulting "living" and "dead" water. But they have major influence as it has been previously noted, the performance of all device as a whole, i.e. the current density and speed of activation. Power diode (5 to 10 A, 300 V) mechanically and electrically connected with movable Central electrode by means of l-shaped aluminum bracket (dimensions not critical), performing also the functions of a radiator of the heat sink.
The insulating housing for the rectifier compartment could not be better suitable carbolova Razvodnaya box with terminal block, flow switch, cord and plug Europlug easy to buy in any electronics store. Well, a blank for a protective Cup may to serve, for example, round plastic box of acceptable size. For unobstructed passage of water it is necessary to drill 4-6 holes with a diameter of 35-40 mm.
In the author's version of the activator of the Central electrode is the anode. "Dead,"" the water formed around him during activation, are separated from the "living" of the catholyte the bottom and sides of the vessel from neglazurovannoy ceramics. To unfortunately, the latter eventually become clogged with salt deposits and required ion semi-permeability of such a membrane is disrupted. Then the vessel has to change to a new one, and continue to use for other purposes.
At intensive operation of the activator makes sense to use a more practical canvas membrane, polyphonically which, unlike clog ceramics, is easily restored by digestion in boiling water. And bulky "vessel-glass" of such material is better "keep the shape", it is expedient to apply in conjunction with carbolicum "holder", in the bottom and walls of which foresight to drill the holes with a diameter of 60-70 mm.
The use of aluminum as a material for the electrodes when activated in water currently causing doubts among some experts. Therefore, it is desirable replace stainless steel, recommended for the food industry. Crockery and pots from such material have the sign that says "Stainless".
