Magnetism is a mysterious phenomenon to most people, and even many of us who have taken a few courses in college physics often don't feel we really "understand" it. In the 19th century, hucksters and scam artists were taking advantage of the public's ignorance of magnetism by offering fraudulent magnetic products to treat everything from baldness to impotence, and an even wider variety of magical wonders are being hawked over the Internet nowadays. The purpose of this Web page is to examine the scientific validity of the claims for magnetic products, especially those related to water, in order to help counter some of the sales hype that is rampant in this field and has given it something of a bad name.
Many of these claims relate to scientific principles that are frequently mis-stated or are simply wrong, but which may not be recognized as such by those whose command of chemistry and physics is lacking. Magnetic water softening and scale control About "hard" water What it's supposed to do. Water structure and science. Liquid water is not a bit player in the theatre of life — it’s the headline act Water science Water (H2O) is often perceived to be ordinary as it is transparent, odorless, tasteless and ubiquitous. It is the simplest compound of the two most common reactive elements, consisting of just two hydrogen atoms attached to a single oxygen atom. Indeed, very few molecules are smaller or lighter. Liquid water, however, is the most extraordinary substance. Although we drink it, wash, fish and swim in it, and cook with it (although probably not all at the same time), we nearly always overlook the special relationship it has with our lives.
Droughts cause famines and floods cause death and disease. Water properties Water is the most studied material on Earth but it is remarkable to find that the science behind its behavior and function are so poorly understood (or even ignored), not only by people in general, but also by scientists working with it every day.

Water Research : Reduction of soluble mineral concentrations in CaSO4 saturated water using a magnetic field. Abstract To assess the effects of magnetic water treatment under well controlled laboratory conditions, and to yield statistically defensible results, a saturated solution of CaSO4 · 2H2O was tested in the magnetic field of a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer. Five replicates were performed of each experiment. The two independent variables tested-magnetic field strength and rotation speed—were set at two levels, “on” (4.75 T and 1200 rpm respectively) or “off”. Parameters chosen to monitor the treatment effect were conductivity, soluble calcium, total suspended solids (TSS), and Zeta potential (ζ).

The concept of the memory of water goes back to 1988 when the late Professor Jacques Benveniste published, in the international scientific journal Nature, claims that extremely high ‘ultramolecular’ dilutions of an antibody had effects in the human basophil degranulation test, a laboratory model of immune response. In other words, the water diluent ‘remembered’ the antibody long after it was gone. His findings were subsequently denounced as ‘pseudoscience’ and yet, despite the negative impact this had at the time, the idea has not gone away. The concept of memory of water is important to homeopathy because it offers a potential explanation of the mechanism of action of very high dilutions often used in homeopathy. Writing in the journal Homeopathy, Professor Martin Chaplin of the Department of Applied Science at London South Bank University, remarks: “There is strong evidence concerning many ways in which the mechanism of this ‘memory’ may come about.
Magnetic Water's Memory Effect. Water is the most common and important material in nature but exactly what is water on earth and what properties does it have? It's a more challenging problem than people think. The changes in properties of water under the action of a magnetic field have been studied for a hundred years but never solved. In new research reported in the November 2008 issue of Science in China Series G- Physics, Mechanics&Astronomy, the authors collected and studied the light spectra of water and its features using the spectrum techniques of light for giving an insight into the features of molecular structure in water and seeking the mechanism of magnetization of water.
These spectra may embody the features of molecular, atomic and electronic structures of water, thus giving an insight into the structures of atoms and molecules in water and providing some accurate and credible data for the features of water. The result shows that the magnetic field may change the hydrophobicity of water. Online.

It was found that some properties of water were changed, and a lot of new and strange phenomena were discovered after magnetization. Magnetized water really has magnetism, which has been verified by a peak shift of X-ray diffraction of magnetized water +Fe3O4 hybrid relative to that of pure water + Fe3O4 hybrid, that is, a saturation and memory effect. Water is the most common and important material in nature.
However, what is water on earth? The authors would like to acknowledge the experimental support from Prof. Reference: Olivier Costa de Beauregard. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Olivier Costa de Beauregard ( à Paris - à Poitiers) a d'abord été ingénieur de recherche à la Société nationale de constructions aéronautiques du Sud-Est (SNCASE). À sa démobilisation, en 1940, il entre au CNRS, dans la section de physique théorique. Sa thèse de doctorat, soutenue en 1943, porte sur la théorie de l'électron de Dirac. En 1971, il est nommé directeur de recherche au CNRS. Il a fait partie de l'équipe de Louis de Broglie et a consacré ses recherches à différents aspects des théories de la relativité et de la mécanique quantique. Biographie[modifier | modifier le code] Pour Costa de Beauregard, les phénomènes parapsychologiques tels que la psychokinèse, la télépathie et la précognition trouvaient leur explication dans son principe de la causalité rétrograde, le seul permettant de penser le paradoxe EPR et de rendre compte des diverses variantes de l'expérience d'Aspect, d'après lui.
