Abstract
A method of ionizing a fluid uses the principle of a Voltaic cell wherein, first and second electro-conductive members formed of materials having different electrochemical potentials are spaced from each other and are immersed in fluid such as water to be ionized, the fluid serves as an electrolyte, and these electro-conductive members are electrically connected to cause electric energy to flow in the fluid, whereby the fluid is ionized. A device for carrying out this method includes first and second electro-conductive members formed of materials having different electrochemical potentials and spaced from each other to permit the fluid to flow therebetween, the members being electrically connected to each other.
Claims11
A method of ionizing an electroconductive fluid, said method comprising:
- providing a first electroconductive member and a second electroconductive member having different electrochemical potentials in a spaced apart relationship;
- and
- electroconductively connecting said first and said second members by only disposing electroconductive fluid therebetween to develop an electric potential between said members that causes the fluid to be ionized.
A device for ionizing an electroconductive fluid, said device comprising:
- a positive electrode comprising a first electroconductive member;
- a negative electrode comprising a second electroconductive member spaced apart from said first electroconductive member,
- said first and said second electroconductive members having different electrochemical potentials;
- and
- an electroconductive connection established between said electroconductive members that develops an electric potential between said members, said electroconductive connection consisting of electroconductive fluid disposed between said electroconductive members.
