X-Ray Determination of Magnetically Treated Liquid Water Structures

Abstract

X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to analyze the magnetic field-induced changes in liquid water. Water samples (0.5 × 10⁻⁷ Ohm⁻¹ cm⁻¹) were exposed to discrete poles of a 0.3 T permanent magnet for different lengths of time. Study reveals that magnetic exposure breaks as well as coalesces the ice polymorphs of the liquid water, depending on magnetic poles and the length of exposure. Magnetically transformed ice polymorphs are ordered as helical structures, which are candidates for long-term storage of magnetic field information.
