Thin layer wicking experiments were carried out using a magnetically treated water and non-treated one. Two types of magnets of different construction and strength of the magnetic field (B=15 mT and B=0.27 T) were used. It was found that water circulated in the presence of magnetic field penetrated faster into the porous layer of silica gel. This is reflected also in the changes of electron donor and electron acceptor parameters of the surface free energy of the silica gel as calculated from the van Oss et al. approach. Based on this finding it is hypothesized that changes in the water structure occurs, i.e. the water flow destroys somehow the network of hydrogen bonds in liquid water while the magnetic field action promotes its formation. |
