ELECTRICITY GENERATING PROPERTY OF WATER

Abstract

The paper presents experimental data describing the power generation properties of plain water. It is noticed that the electrodes immersed in a bowl of water become alternatively charged. Potential difference on the electrodes has very little value, which can only be detected using a galvanometer or millivoltmeter. Moreover, the voltage on the electrodes slowly grows over the time to reach a certain limit, after which it remains constant. To experimentally identify the dynamics of charge increasing, the authors has applied capacitors connected to the electrodes. Use has been made of small size items for up to 100 ml of ordinary tap water. The search for theoretical explanations of the described property has led to the implementation of the theory of heat fluctuations of water molecules. In this respect, the mathematical model of Smoluchowski -Einstein formula has proved to be adequately relevant. Having inserted the experimental data into the formula the authors have managed to show the form factor invariability of the experimental device. This can be considered as a confirmation of the effect made by fluctuating water molecules on moving charge carriers in the water. Such effects on the electrodes lead to potential difference, the value of which can be calculated using the formula of Smoluchowski-Einstein.
