Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for reducing the association of water molecules, improving the properties of water, and activating physiological effects.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Water is one of the most indispensable substances for life, 80% or more of the weight of the living body is water, and the majority of enzymatic reactions in the living body that control life are hydrophilic. It is also clear from what is being done in. On the other hand, in recent years, as the water quality has deteriorated, the amount of delicious natural water that can be used with peace of mind is becoming extremely small. In addition, tap water is getting worse due to sterilization and removal of harmful substances.

Water does not exist in a single H ₂ 0 molecular state and forms a group of molecules of at least 5 molecules called clusters due to hydrogen bonds between water molecules. This group is immutable, constantly creating and breaking large groups. It is said that this molecular group is small in delicious water. It is believed that this is felt nicely because the small molecular group of water fits perfectly into the taste point of the tongue. For example, if there are mineral ions like natural spring water, large clusters collapse and the molecular group of water becomes smaller, which is felt to be delicious. That is, it is considered that water with smaller clusters and more active molecular motion is more delicious, or water with a higher physiological evaluation.

As a method for making water effective, there are methods such as ultrasonic treatment, filtration by ceramics, and infrared irradiation.
All of these are based on the fact that kinetic energy is applied to water to activate molecular motion and break large clusters.

[0005]

However, each of the above methods has only a temporary effect. That is, when the ultrasonic wave is stopped, the mechanical energy provided by ultrasonic treatment reassociates with each other by hydrogen bonds between water molecules to form a cluster, and the water molecules whose hydrogen bonds are cut by the polarity of the ceramic filter medium are After passing through the filter media,
They reassociate to form clusters, and the thermal molecular motion given by infrared irradiation decays when irradiation is stopped and starts reassociation. That is, the characteristics of water are not changed by any of the above methods.

The present invention has been made under the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method and an apparatus for improving the taste of water by changing the characteristics of water. is there.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for improving the taste of water and activating the physiological effects of water, and the above object of the present invention is to provide a discharge tube element ( (Tessler) and high-frequency irradiation to give a negative high voltage pulse to the water to magnetize the water molecules. Further, the apparatus of the present invention comprises a high voltage generating means for generating a negative high voltage pulse, and a discharge tube element in which a discharge electrode connected to the high voltage generating means is enclosed in a glass tube together with a gas for processing. This is achieved by an apparatus for improving the characteristics of water by a discharge tube element in which the discharge tube element is inserted into a conductive pipe through which water flows and the high frequency irradiation is performed while being in contact with the water.

[0008]

In the present invention, the magnetic properties of water are changed by applying a high voltage pulse to water, as shown in the experimental results described later. According to this method, ion exchanged water, distilled water, etc. also magnetize water molecules so that the natural spring water contains minerals and thus the molecular motions become active, thereby improving the taste and the like. It is a thing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the apparatus according to the present invention.

In the figure, a high voltage pulse generator 1 has output terminals T1 and T2 for outputting a negative high voltage pulse, and a discharge tube element 2 is decompressed with an electrode 3 connected to the output terminal T1. The glass tube 4 is filled with air or gas, and the glass tube 4 is inserted into the conductive pipe 5 through the wall of the conductive pipe 5 through which water to be treated flows. The material of the conductive pipe 5 may be metal such as stainless steel, or conductive plastic such as graphite or polyacetylene, and is connected to the output terminal T2 of the high voltage pulse generator 1.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the circuit of the high voltage pulse generator 1. A DC voltage (for example, + 12V) from a DC power supply is boosted by a booster circuit 11 including a boost oscillator (not shown). Then, the positive charge is charged in the storage capacitor 12, and this charging is continued until it reaches a predetermined voltage (for example, +100 V at point A). After charging, the trigger pulse is the trigger generation circuit 1
3 is generated and sent to the gate of the thyristor 14. As a result, the anode and cathode of the thyristor 14 are electrically connected, and the positive charge charged in the storage capacitor 12 passes through the primary side of the high-voltage transformer 15 and the thyristor 1
4 is discharged. At this time, on the secondary side of the high voltage transformer 15, a negative high voltage pulse (for example, 15K at point B)
Vp-o) is generated.

The discharge by the thyristor 14 is continued as long as the discharge current is equal to or higher than the minimum holding current of the thyristor 14. After the end of discharge, the counter electromotive force due to the magnetic energy remaining in the high-voltage transformer 15 charges the storage capacitor 12 with a negative charge (negative at point A) that is the opposite of the above. After the charging is completed, the charged negative charge flows to the primary side of the high voltage transformer 15 via the diode 16 and the attenuation resistor 17, but is rapidly attenuated by the attenuation resistor, so that it is generated on the secondary side of the high voltage transformer 15. The voltage of the positive pulse generated is kept low. The negatively biased high voltage pulse generated as described above is applied to water through the discharge tube element 2.

When the negative high voltage pulse is applied to the water flowing through the conductive pipe 5 using the above-mentioned device, the change of the water property is proved by the following experimental results. That is, FIG.
Ion-exchanged water (A) and discharge tube element 2 (Tessler)
Spin resonance spectrum (ES) of the sample (B) irradiated with 200 Hz, Level 150 for 20 minutes.
R) is shown. As is clear from the figure, ion-exchanged water is E
It can be seen that, while no resonance signal is observed in SR (indicating diamagnetism), a resonance signal is observed in ESR by irradiation of the discharge tube element 2 and paramagnetism is obtained. This means that water was magnetically activated by the irradiation of the discharge tube element 2. Note that KOH (0.1 M) was added to ion-exchanged water to stabilize the generated radicals.

In the above embodiment, the discharge tube element 2 is composed of an electrode and a glass tube filled with gas, but an electrode covered with an insulating plastic may be used as the discharge tube element.

As a modified example of the discharge tube element 2,
The discharge chamber 6 may be provided in the water flow path as shown in FIG. The discharge chamber 6 is a casing formed of an insulating plastic plate such as an acrylic plate, and has water inlets 7 and outlets 8 on both end faces thereof. Also, on one of the outer surfaces of the opposite side surfaces,
A discharge electrode 31 connected to the output terminal T1 of the high voltage pulse generator 1 and a counter electrode 32 connected to the output terminal T2 are provided on the outer surface of the other side surface. In this case, the negative high voltage pulse generated by the high voltage pulse generator 1 is applied to the water passing through the discharge chamber 6 through the acrylic plate between the electrodes 31 and 32.

[0016]

As described above, according to the method for improving the characteristics of water by the discharge tube and the apparatus therefor according to the present invention, water molecules can be used as in the conventional ultrasonic treatment, filtration by ceramics, or far infrared irradiation. To not only give kinetic energy from the outside, but also change the water to paramagnetic,
By stabilizing the generated radicals, active molecular motion can be maintained even after high-frequency irradiation.
