Abstract

Thуpaper introduces some features of water behavior in the electric field of a small intensity. It has been found that plain water can retain forsome time an electric charge given to it before, i.e. there is an effect of a distinctive electric memory. This effect has never been described before. To make an experiment, use has been made of a water element consisting of an AA battery,a multimer, carbon electrodes, a stopwatch, a water bath, two switches and copper wires. When current flows,there is a voltage on the water element electrodes equal to that of the battery. If the electrodes are disconnected from the battery and connected to the voltmeter, the voltmeter pointer first sharply falls below a certain value, then slowly moves to the zero point. Readings of a galvanometer connected as a second switch to the electrodes instead of the voltmeter testify that the voltage value still remains greater than zerofor some time. Low voltages remained on the electrodes in the experiments for up to a few minutes that can be considered an evidence of electric water memory. The described phenomena can serve as a verification of a dipole model of water molecules and a manifestation of electrolytic dissociation. The author stresses the influence of the distance between electrodes on the residual voltage value of the switch. The shorter the distanceis, the higher voltage is observed. It has been also noticed that water quality has an influence on the voltageamount: distilled water used to fill the batteries gives lower values of switching voltage as compared to tap water.
