Effect of unipolar magnetic fields on UV absorption and evaporation of water

Abstract

We investigated the effects of unipolar magnetic fields (N or S polarity) on the physical properties of deionized water. Long-term experiments (15 and 25 days) revealed significant pole-dependent changes in water absorption in the UV range (186 – 230 nm), and in water evaporation. The order of absorption magnitudes was C-N-S. That is, control (C) water absorbed the most, N-pole-influenced water absorbed less, and S pole the least. The differences in absorption between N and S waters were substantial. A correlation between UV absorption values and evaporation rates was also found. The relative order of evaporation rates was the same as the order of the absorption values, also C-N-S. The evaporation rates of N and S waters were less than C water evaporation. The effects of magnetic fields were long term. The interaction of magnetic fields with water is of interest not only from a physical sciences perspective, but also in the context of the significant applications in biophysics and medicine.
