Electrically Activated Water
« on: February 24, 2008, 09:02:08 pm »
this here is a topic posted on a smaller forum by jeffB
jeff gave me the go ahead to transfer it here where there maybe
a quite large amount of brainpower to crack it and make it work for us


Something to think about !

Release energy stored in tap water by passing it through electrified screens in an oxegenated tank to create micro bubbles. Now send it through a water cell and apply an electric current. Water out is highly charged acidic and alkaline in an activated state. The water attacks the dirt breaking it into smaller particles, and suspends it off the glass surface. 45 seconds later the super cleaning water reverts to just plain water.

Thats briefly how it works in battery driven floor cleaners, now can we adapt the princilpe for use in battery driven wfp systems ?
Can we pass water pure ro/di/rainwater through an electrical field to give it an ionic/anionic charge ?
The oxegenation process shouldnt be too difficult ?

and Dai posted this good description of the process


How ech2o Works

The ech2o technology has multiple patents pending. The system works by unlocking the vast amounts of energy stored in the water molecule H2O. This is accomplished through a special ech2o unit that is installed in a Tennant Company floor-cleaning machine.

Inside the unit, two primary steps transform normal tap water into a powerful cleaning solution. In the first step, water passes through electrified screens in the oxygenation chamber, creating highly oxygenated micro-bubbles. In the second step, the oxygenated water is sent through a water cell where an electric current is applied. Flowing out of the water cell is highly charged, acidic and alkaline water with all the attributes of a powerful cleaner. In this activated state, ech2o is an effective cleaning agent that poses no harm to the surfaces or finishes it cleans, or to people using the technology.

The electrically charged water attacks the dirt, breaks it into smaller particles and suspends it off the floor's surface -- enabling the scrubber's pads or brushes to easily remove the soil. Approximately 45 seconds after it was created, the cleaning solution returns to plain H2O. What is left in the recovery tank is just plain water and dirt. In this process, 100 percent of the water used reverts to neutral tap water and can be handled and disposed of safely.

I'm with Lewis on this, no scientist I'm afraid. This is one of the things puzzling me.
If deionization reduces water to a fluid containing only oxygen and hydrogen, where does the acidic and alkaline come from?
If deionized water is not able to conduct electricity, how does it become charged?
If it doesn't depend on the ions for this process to occur, would running the solution though a D/I unity before it goes up the pole neutralize it's cleaning properties? Dai

Having looked into this, as far as I can tell it will only work on 'normal tap water', which is fine for floor cleaning etc., but not for the ultra fussy world of Glass cleaning.

Yep it needs to work with pure water.
Early days yet.
