Abstract
It has been posited that hydrogen plasma(H2↔H++H-)can be induced under a high heat, oxygen free, reduction environment. Our laboratory has undertaken a 10-year study to examine the potential of inducing a plasma reaction in water using magnetic bipolar bisque fired ceramic balls.
Our studies on the physiochemical properties of the ceramic balls found that when the balls are exposed to water they release hydrogen gas, with the surrounding water generating a level of about pH10 and ORP at –250mV. The water will maintain a weak alkali and ORP state at the minus level for at least 24 hours. Tests have found that vast amounts of hydrogen gas can be dissolved in water in this condition. We have made observations of how the phenomenon described affects plants.
Experiments have demonstrated the ability to maintain the condition of cut flowers for over 6 months.
