Abstract
Thin-layer wicking experiments were carried out using magnetically treated water and non-treated water. Two types of magnets of different constructions and strengths of the magnetic field (B = 15 mT and B = 0.27 T) were used. It was found that water circulating in the presence of a magnetic field penetrated faster into a porous layer of silica gel. This is reflected also in the changes in the electron donor and electron acceptor parameters of the surface free energy of the silica gel as calculated by using the Van Oss et al. approach. Based on this finding, it is hypothesized that changes in the water structure occur – that is, the water flow somehow destroys the network of hydrogen bonds in liquid water, while the magnetic field action promotes its formation.
