Water Research
THE SCIENCE
Water & Magnetics
The basic premise of WATERPHYSICS® is that water can be altered by the application of a specialised magnetic bias. Within the last decade significant advances have been made in the understanding of water, an excruciatingly hard element to research because changes occur within its properties at speeds greater than 10,000th's of a second. Another stumbling block was that many researchers assumed water as coming 'from the tap'. Nature doesn't agree.
In essence, Water is paramagnetic, meaning that it holds a magnetic charge. (has a dipolar moment in science speak) To illustrate the point, references below put to bed any misgivings that out of touch academics had previously held.
Researchers at the highly respected University of Tokyo, amazingly, were able to make water levitate using magnets. This extraordinary achievement, was presented in the prestigious scientific publication, 'Nature'. End of story.

Water Has Memory
Some very exciting research done in Hungary has shown that water clusters actually have a memory and can remember and carry an imprint of the magnetic energy they have been exposed to either simply from the earth’s magnetic field or through flowing over paramagnetic rock. (WATERPHYSICS® employs a specialised, rare earth powered magnetic field, to energise tap water). It is the fact that this memory is destroyed on the way to the tap which renders our drinking water lifeless. (Zhalko-Tytarenko, Olga, et al. Endogenous electromagnetic field influence on the free energy of hydrogen bond formation in water. 2nd Advanced Water Sciences Symposium, Dallas, Texas, Oct. 4-6, 1996. Proceedings, pp. 23-27 ).
  
A HISTORY
Early Experiments
We now know Water is a highly complex substance. The problem for science has been the inability to observe this complexity because the speed at which water molcules exchange electrical bonds, is greater than one 10,000th of a second. If it were not for the persistance of dedicated pioneers, operating in an often hostile scientific community, and a few unintended discoveries, we may have been none the wiser to this day. For example, prior to World War II, Russia and France began developing Einstein's theories in releasing energy from the atom. During these early atomic experiments, Russian and French scientists found that when water was exposed to a strong magnetic field, the basic properties of water were changed markedly.
This was scientific heresy in the day and typically, when a new scientific discovery is made, it is common for sections of the scientific community to challenge or dismiss it as unfounded, impractical and unworthy of further investigation. Scientists of many nations continued to dismiss the Russian discoveries, even while they had been confirmed by the French. Ultimately though, the Russians had to admit to the world, that their physicists and chemists could offer no explanation as to why water was changed when exposed to magnetic fields.
That did not dissuade them however from developing a "magnetic water treater" and applying it to large/small steam boilers, cars, trucks, and military vehicles. Furthermore, possibly driven by economic realities, they also began using magnetized water in hospitals to great effect. The water was given internally to patients.
Early Applications
For over fifty years magnetic water pipe conditioners of various design have been toiling away, faithfully descaling pipes, from basement heaters to large industrial applications. It just works. Until quite recently, the scientific community had not proven why and this was fertile ground for the 'knockers' - eg. "its nonsense", "against the law of physics", "psuedo science", etc, etc. Even while 100,000's of successfully operating systems quietly made their point. That is behind us now but does help explain why it has taken so long for the market to catch on. More breakthough research removes the doubters once and for all. Cranbury University - the evidence is in the lab photo above.
 
Antioxidants
Dr. Morris Tischler the inventor of the pacemaker, writes in 'Biomagnetics in Complementary Medicine',
"The consumption of magnetised water can have a therapeutic effect-Negative magnetic polarity increases hydroxyl (OH-) ions while at the same time decreasing hydrogen (H+)ions. Magnetized water has an alkalizing and oxidizing effect which can influence chemical hypersensitivities, pollution of various sorts, and even insect stings. Most toxins in the body are acidic; this acid can be reduced by the alkalizing effect of magnetized water.
In a test performed at M.I.T, it was demonstrated that magnetic effects cause a certain degree of widening of blood vessels (vasodilation). With larger arteries, more blood and oxygen flow to the tissues. It is thought that the alkalizing effect not only normalizes the pH of the blood and body tissues, but it may also reduce cholesterol and triglycerides that adhere to the arterial walls."
Free radicals are molecules that have at least one unpaired electron and then go around just taking electrons from other healthy molecules causing damage, that is , oxidative stress.
Antioxidants have extra electrons to "share" so they give one or more of their extra electrons to the free radicals.
By donating an electron to a free radical, antioxidants neutralize that free radical and stop all the oxidative stress (damage) in our cells.

Negative magnetic polarity increases hydroxyl (OH-) ions while at the same time decreasing hydrogen (H+)ions. Hydroxl Ions are a very stable form of oxygen and highly desireable in the blood stream. More commonly known as Anti-Oxidants.
  
The WATERPHYSICS® Powerhead is a specifically biased magnetic application designed for the treatment of tapwater. Its novel integration with conventional water filtration makes it especially relevant for virtually every household. The Powerhead's basic function is to radiate a dynamic, biased magnetic field (-) throughout an associated water storage compartment. At no point does water come into direct contact with the Rare Earth 'Neodymium' element. The process of 'blueprinting' water is not instant. It is recommended that water be stored for at least 45 minutes to allow for effective ion exchanges in the water. A single storage chamber holds approx. 3-4oz, 8 glasses of water depending on the type of cartridge. A dedicated storage chamber (no cartridge) holds 5 x 8oz. Doctors recommended we drink approx. 8 x 8oz glasses a day for the average person. So plenty of capacity over the course of a day. A good idea is to draw water off every few hours if not in heavy use and store in the fridge in glass or quality water storage bottles. This way families can access plenty of energised water during higher traffic periods. The only maintenance required is an occassional flush and clean when filter cartridges are replaced. It does not require replacement components in its own right and should last indefinitely if correctly installed.
The 'modular' design lends itself to adapt to existing water filter systems as well. This is good news for households with a water filter already installed.

  
Rare Earth Investment
WATERPHYSICS® houshold appliances employ the use of powerful rare earth magnetics. A similar magnetic medium as used in computer hard drives and hybrid engines. The cost and availability of this material has skyrocketed over the last few years and is heading for the 'stratosphere' as an almost semi-precious type commodity. Whilst it may be growing in value inside your appliance however, it won't be losing its ability to 'operate' any time soon. This is because it will withstand a great deal of drawdown without significant losses of power over time.
This means that your WATERPHYSICS® home appliance is a solid investment in more ways than one. An investment in your home that will serve you faithfully for many years to come and as a practical form of low cost health insurance. MEETING NEO.Our zany mascot - a bit of fun.
