Abstract
A water charging machine wherein the water being treated is moved downwardly through a vertically extending outer vortex and then moved in an upwardly extending inner vortex within the outer vortex. Oxygen may be introduced into the stream of water either upstream of the outer vortex or at the point of reversal of the water between the outer vortex and the inner vortex, or both, to provide a long shelf life incorporation of the gaseous oxygen in the water. The water and oxygen may also be exposed to a negative or positive magnetic field and a piezoelectric field to provide a substantial Zeta potential.
Claims29
A machine for incorporating oxygen in water, comprising:
- a first vertically extending tubular member having an an upper end and a lower end;
- an obstruction in the lower end portion of the first tubular member;
- a second vertically extending tubular member having an an upper end and a lower end extending into the upper end of the first tubular member, forming an annulus between the first and second tubular members, and projecting above the upper end of the first tubular member;
- a frusto-conical member having an upper end and a lower end mounted on the second tubular member in said annulus having a downwardly and outwardly tapered outer surface and having an outer diameter at its lower end less than the inner diameter of the first tubular member;
- means at the upper end of the first tubular member surrounding the second tubular member connected to a stream of water for directing the stream of water in a circular motion down the first tubular member around the frusto-conical member;
- whereby the stream of water forms a first vortex in the outer portion of the first tubular member, and, upon reversal at the lower end of the first tubular member, forms a second vortex inside the first vortex before discharge through the second tubular member;
- wherein said obstruction comprises a plate spanning the first tubular member having at least one aperture therethrough;
- and further including:
- a supply of gaseous oxygen;
- a conduit connecting the supply of gaseous oxygen to the lower end of said first tubular member below said plate;
- whereby oxygen is supplied to the lower end of said first tubular member in bubbles which are incorporated into the second vortex;
- a piezoelectric crystal in the lower end portion of said first tubular member above said obstruction;
- and
- means supporting said crystal allowing said crystal to vibrate in response to water flowing through said first tubular member.
A machine for incorporating oxygen in water, comprising:
- a mixer for initially distributing gaseous oxygen in a stream of water;
- a first vertically extending tubular member having an upper end and a lower end;
- an obstruction in the lower end portion of the first tubular member;
- a second vertically extending tubular member having an upper end and a lower end extending into the upper end of the first tubular member, forming an annulus between the first and second tubular members and projecting above the upper end of the first tubular member;
- a frusto-conical member having an upper end and a lower end mounted on the second tubular member in said annulus having a downwardly and outwardly tapered outer surface and having an outer diameter at its lower end less than the inner diameter of the first tubular member;
- and
- means at the upper end of the first tubular member surrounding the second tubular member connected to the mixer for directing the stream of water from the mixer in a circular motion down the first tubular member around the frusto-conical member;
- whereby the stream of water forms a first vortex in the outer portion of the first tubular member, and, upon reversal at the lower end of the first tubular member, forms a second vortex inside the first vortex before discharge through the second tubular member.
