Changes in the electrical conductivity, infrared absorption, and surface tension of partially-degassed and magnetically-treated water

Although the properties of magnetically-treated water (MTW) have received a great deal of interest in recent years, the physical changes exhibited by MTW remain controversial. During the magnetic treatment (MT) of distilled-deionized water, it was found that a significant amount of gas was lost. We suspected that the physical properties of water, including conductivity, infra-red (IR) absorption, and surface tension might be affected by this gas loss, and thus, experiments were performed using MTW made using water partially degassed by sonication in order to maintain low gas levels during the MT process. Real time measurements of conductivity, IR absorption, and surface tension of MTW made using partially-degassed water consistently showed lower conductivity, greater IR absorption, and less surface tension than MTW made using non-degassed water. These findings indicate that the MT of water molecules can be interfered by the levels of gas molecules in non-degassed water. Our findings suggest that the physical properties of MTW should be measured at low gas level similar to that after MT.
