Water
is a more reactive environment when the extent of hydrogen bonding is
reduced. An open, more hydrogen-bonded network structure slows reactions
due to its increased viscosity, reduced diffusivities and the less
active participation of water molecules. Any factors that reduce
hydrogen bonding and hydrogen bond strength, such as magnetic fields,
should encourage reactivity. In
addition to the breakage of hydrogen bonds, electromagnetic fields may
perturb in the gas/liquid interface and produce reactive oxygen species.
As such, magnetic fields that attempt to reorient the water molecules
should necessitate the breakage of some hydrogen bonds. Such
fields can also increase the evaporation rate of water and the
dissolution rate of oxygen. Concerning
reports of the effects of magnets and electromagnetic radiation on the
properties of water, is the long lifetime these effects seem to have....
as it can take several days for the effects, of the addition of salts to
water, to finally stop oscillating. For more details, visit Professor Martin Chaplin's , "Water Structure and Behavior" www.martin.chaplin.btinternet.co.uk/magnetic.html |
