Chapter I. What is "living" and "dead" water

_________________________________________________________________________________

1. "Living" and "dead" water in folklore

Probably, there is no people on Earth who would not have myths and fairy tales related to the important role of water in human life. It was in folk tales that we first met living and dead water.

Living water (strong or heroic) in the folk tales of all Indo-European peoples is a symbol of spring rain, which resurrects the earth from winter sleep. She restores life to the dead and sight to the blind.

The difference between dead and living water appears only in Slavic fairy tales and is not repeated anywhere. Dead water is sometimes called healing: it heals inflicted wounds, splices the dissected parts of a dead body, but does not yet resurrect it, only sprinkling with living water returns it to life.

Living and dead water exist not only in fairy tales. Living and dead water can be obtained from ordinary water using electrolysis. In real life, they also have healing properties, which makes them quite popular.

2. What is "living" and "dead" water

"Living" and "dead" water is obtained by electrolysis. Electrolysis is a redox process that occurs on electrodes when an electric current passes through an electrolyte solution or melt.

The essence of electrolysis is the implementation of chemical reactions due to the energy of an electric current - on a negatively charged electrode - the cathode, electrochemical reduction of particles (atoms, molecules, cations) occurs, and on a positively charged electrode - electrochemical oxidation of particles (atoms, molecules, anions) occurs.

After treatment with electricity, the water is divided into two fractions, which have healing properties. Acidic water, which collects at the positively charged anode, is called "dead", and alkaline (concentrating near the negative cathode) is called "live".

"Living" water (catholyte, alkaline) - very soft, light, with an alkaline taste, water, sometimes with a white precipitate; its pH = 10-11. Living water is formed at the cathode as a result of the reduction reaction:

2H2O + 2e = H2 + 2OH–

As a result of cathodic (catholyte) treatment, water acquires an alkaline reaction, its redox potential decreases, surface tension decreases, the amount of dissolved oxygen decreases, the concentration of free hydroxyl groups increases, and electrical conductivity decreases.

"Dead" water (anolyte, acidic) is brownish, sour, with a characteristic odor and pH = 4-5 units. Dead water is formed at the anode as a result of the oxidation reaction:

2H2O - 4e \u003d O2 + 4H +

During anodic electrochemical treatment, the acidity of water increases, the redox potential increases, the surface tension decreases slightly, the electrical conductivity increases, the amount of dissolved oxygen and chlorine increases, the concentration of hydrogen and nitrogen decreases, and the structure of water changes.

By adjusting the duration of electrolysis, it is possible to obtain water with different pH values.

3. History of discovery

About who and how discovered the amazing properties of living and dead water, as always in the case of any great discovery, there is a lot of controversy.

Most likely, the first electrolyzer was designed by nature: the amazing properties of various medicinal waters were already known in ancient times.

Man has been using electrolysis since the beginning of the 18th century. But in Russia, intensive studies of living and dead water began in the 80s of the last century and were carried out by the leading USSR. But research in this area, like many others, was carried out in secrecy, and most of the results were not advertised and were not available to the general public.

4. Application of living and dead water

Anolyte and catholyte are widely used for the treatment of various diseases, as well as for economic purposes. Activated water has properties similar to those of body fluids (blood, lymph, etc.), so the body does not need to modify it, it immediately joins in life and thereby eliminates the causes of many diseases. Activated water is also used in everyday life, gardening and horticulture, for hygienic purposes, in animal husbandry, poultry farming, beekeeping, etc.

Dead water (anolyte, acidic) is an excellent bactericide, disinfectant.

It has inhibitory properties and slows down bioprocesses. It is used to combat microorganisms and fungi.

It is used in the prevention and treatment of colds, flu,.

Reduces blood pressure, calms the nervous system, improves sleep.

Helps in the treatment of paradanthosis, stops bleeding gums, dissolves stones on the teeth.

Reduces joint pain.

Quickly helps with intestinal disorders.

Dermatomycosis (fungal skin diseases) disappear in a few days.

The disinfection properties of dead water are enhanced if 5 g of table salt is dissolved in it before turning on the electrolyzer.

Household purpose: Disinfection of residential and non-residential premises, soil, containers, clothes, shoes, descaling the walls of dishes, increasing the shelf life of vegetables and fruits, and much more.

Normalizes the work of the digestive tract in pets and poultry.

Living water (catholyte, alkaline) is an excellent stimulant, tonic, source of energy.

It sets the whole body in motion, gives energy, vigor, stimulates cell regeneration, gently increases blood pressure, improves metabolism.

Perfectly heals wounds, ulcers, including stomach and duodenal ulcers, bedsores, burns.

Helps in the treatment of prostate adenoma, in the treatment and prevention of polyarthritis, osteochondrosis.

Household use: accelerates seed germination, stimulates the flowering of domestic flowers, revitalizes green vegetables and wilted flowers, improves the taste of baked goods (when kneading dough with live water), the quality of the syrup for feeding bees (the bees become more energetic), stimulates the growth and resistance to diseases of the domestic poultry and livestock (decrease in the mortality of young animals), watering the beds with live water stimulates the ripening of the crop.

The combined use of living and dead water helps fight diseases such as hepatitis, psoriasis, and women's diseases.

Chapter II. Practical part

1. Sociological survey

We conducted a sociological survey among school students, its staff and Internet users to identify the average level of knowledge about "living" and "dead" water among young people and teachers.

The survey consisted of four questions. In person, 70 people were interviewed. The number of respondents on the Internet was not limited.

Questions:
1) Have you heard about the concept of "living" and "dead" water?
2) Do you believe in the healing properties of "living" and "dead" water?
3) What do you think, what kind of water can be called "dead"?
4) What do you think, what kind of water can be called "living"?

Answer options:
1) Yes/No
2) Yes/No/Difficult to answer
3) Distilled / Rain / Melted / Positively charged
4) Distilled / Holy / Spring / Negatively charged

Below are the survey results
Table 1. Question one

Table 2.

Table 3

Table 4

Conclusions: Most of the respondents heard about "living" and "dead" water. An almost equal number of people have a positive or negative attitude towards its medicinal properties. Half of the respondents believe that distilled water can be called "dead" water. "Living" water, according to half of the respondents, can be called spring water.

2. Making a device for obtaining living and dead water

A device for obtaining living and dead water can be made by hand.

The design is an electrical circuit consisting of items and parts available in everyday life, i.e.: connecting mounting wires, an automatic switch, an electric incandescent lamp, a diode rectifier bridge (in an integrated version), two tablespoons of stainless steel are used as working electrodes steel, two crocodile clips, two glass vessels, a cotton swab and ordinary water. As a power supply - a household electrical network 220v (50Hz).

The device is assembled as follows: Glass vessels are filled with water, each of which is immersed in a stainless steel tablespoon. Using a small cotton swab moistened with water, we connect the containers with water to each other, as shown in the figure. We connect an electrical circuit to the spoons using crocodile clips. The electrical circuit is a series connection of a circuit breaker, a diode bridge, an incandescent light bulb (25-40W.220V), electrodes, which are used as spoons, by connecting wires. Thus, the assembled electrical circuit is connected to the 220V power grid.

In order to ensure electrical contact between these banks, they should be connected with a cotton cord wrapped in gauze (you can additionally wrap it with thread). In this case, the tourniquet should first be moistened with water. Such a harness will connect the cans electrically and provide a path for ions to pass between the cans during operation. Thus, living water will accumulate in one jar, and dead (yellowish) water will accumulate in the other. Therefore, after the end of the process, it is enough to simply turn off the installation from the network and get catholyte and anolyte, just from different cans, and of the same capacity. Cooking time takes about half an hour.

By adjusting the duration of electrolysis, it is possible to obtain water of the required concentration, which is measured in units of pH.

3. Obtaining living and dead water using the Melesta electric activator

3) a glass with a porous partition inserted into the main container;

4) removable cover with electrodes.

Operating procedure:

1) Pour water into the main and inner containers, after filtering it with a carbon filter.

2) We install the top cover on the main tank so that the black electrode is in the inner vessel.

3) Turn on the device in the network for 20 minutes. In the main container, “live” water is obtained, and in a glass, with a porous partition, “dead” water is obtained.

The resulting water has the properties of "living" and "dead" water for only a week. Then, it loses its properties.

4. Measurement of the pH level of "live" and "dead" water

pH - Hydrogen index (pondus Hydrogenii) - a measure of the activity of hydrogen ions in a solution, and quantitatively expressing its acidity, is calculated as a negative (taken with the opposite sign) decimal logarithm of the activity of hydrogen ions, expressed in moles per liter:

To conduct the experiment, we used the pH sensor of the Archimedes digital laboratory.


The results of measuring the pH of "living" water

Dead water pH results

The results of measuring the pH of ordinary water

pH measurement results of distilled water



Conclusions: according to the measurement results, "living" water has a pH level of 9.8 (alkaline). pH of "dead" water = 5.75 (acidic).

5. Measurement of the electrical conductivity of "live" and "dead" water

Electrical conductivity is the ability of a body to conduct electric current, as well as a physical quantity that characterizes this ability and is inverse to electrical resistance.

To conduct the experiment, we used the electrical conductivity sensor of the Archimedes digital laboratory.

The results of measuring the electrical conductivity of "living" water

The results of measuring the electrical conductivity of "dead" water

The results of measuring the electrical conductivity of ordinary water

The results of measuring the electrical conductivity of distilled water



Conclusions: According to the measurement results, the electrical conductivity of "living" water = 0.65. Electrical conductivity of "dead" water = 0.56. Electrical conductivity of ordinary tap water = 0.67

6. Measurement of the freezing point of "live" and "dead" water

“Live”, “dead” and ordinary water was poured 2-3 ml into three different test tubes, respectively, after which a temperature sensor was placed in the test tube, and the test tube itself was placed in a beaker filled with water with sodium chloride (NaCl) dissolved in it and snow or ice.

Recorder setup:

    Frequency: every 10 seconds Samples: 100 (corresponding to a duration of 16 min. 40 s)

Below are the results:

The results of measuring the freezing point of "living" water

The results of measuring the freezing point of "dead" water

The results of measuring the freezing point of ordinary water

Therefore, the true results table looks like this:

Conclusion: the freezing point of ordinary, “living” and “dead” water is different, increasing by one degree, respectively.

7. Study of the effect of "living" and "dead" water on the germination of seeds of oats (avena sativa)

Sowing oats (Avйna satнva) or fodder oats, or ordinary oats is an annual herbaceous plant, a species of the genus Oats (Avena), widely used in cereals. Oats are a good object of study, as they grow rapidly, are easily observed, and are undemanding to environmental conditions.

Setting up the experiment:

    Planting seeds of two repetitions in Petri dishes with "live", "dead" and distilled water. Daily watering with "live", "dead" and distilled water. Counting germinated seeds, measuring the length of the root and stem. Table decoration

Results:

Table. Comparison table of oat seed germination
in "live", "dead" and distilled water


    "Live" and "dead" water have a positive effect on seed germination. In the early stages of root growth, "living" water does not significantly affect the plant. "Dead" water improves root growth.
    "Living" water has a positive effect on the growth of the stem, but only slightly. Plants that were in "dead" water grow much faster than in "live" and distilled water.

8. Study of the effect of "living" and "dead" water on Paramecium caudatum

Ciliates shoe, caudate paramecia (Paramecium caudatum) is a species of ciliates of the genus Paramecium.

As an object of study, the ciliate shoe is suitable for us, because by the nature of its movement in water, one can quite easily determine the suitability of this water for life.

Setting up the experiment:

    A drop of water with an Infusoria shoe was placed in "living", "dead" and ordinary water and distilled water. The preparations were applied to a glass slide. The preparations were observed under a digital microscope.

Photo1. Infusoria in plain water

Photo 2. Infusoria in "living" water Photo 3. Infusoria in "dead" water

In distilled water, active behavior of Ciliates was observed.

In "living" water, Ciliates also behaved actively.

In the "dead" water, Ciliates formed a cyst, as the conditions are unfavorable. This is due to the increased acidity of the "dead" water.

Conclusion: in "living" water, the existence of the Infusoria Shoe is possible, in contrast to the "dead" one.

CONCLUSION

"Living" and "dead" water exists not only in fairy tales and myths of the Russian people. Living and dead water can be obtained as a result of electrolysis. According to the measurement results, "living" water has a level
pH = 9.8 (alkaline), dead water pH = 5.75 (acid). This is due to the presence of negatively and positively charged ions (OH– and H+). The electrical conductivity of "living" water (0.65) and the electrical conductivity of "dead" water (0.56) turned out to be lower than the electrical conductivity of ordinary tap water (0.67). The freezing point of "live" and dead water is higher than that of ordinary water by one and two degrees, respectively.

"Live" and "dead" water have a positive effect on seed germination. "Dead" water improves root growth. "Living" water has a positive effect on the growth of the stem. Plants in "dead" water grew much faster than in "live" and distilled water.

In "living" water, the existence of Ciliates Shoe is possible, unlike "dead" water, since "dead" water is an acidic environment. Once in such an environment, the protozoa form a cyst to experience adverse conditions.

Thus, our experiments have confirmed that "living" and "dead" water really differ in properties from ordinary water and affect biological objects.

1)

Almost every one of us in childhood wanted to know if these magical liquids really exist and where these magical liquids come from, in order to collect at least a few drops and use them in our lives when needed. But it is not for nothing that the people say “The tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it! A lesson for good fellows!”, because “living” and “dead” water actually exist. And not only in Russia in ancient times they composed stories about miraculous waters.

Let's see - like water is a simple compound in the form of H2O. However, it has long been proven that water has a much more complex structure, which, if desired, can be changed using electrolysis. What for? And in order to get the very "living" water. And what, you ask, is "aliveness" - that it changes pH and redox potential.

It turns out that almost 80% of the foods we eat are acid-forming. I will not list what these products are today, but I will do it in the near future. And it's not about how they taste. It's just that when they are broken down in the body, more acids are formed than alkalis (bases).
What is this or that product - acid or alkali determines the pH. Alkalis have a pH above 7. Acids have a pH below 7. Neutral products have a pH=7.

Since our blood has a pH in the range of 7.35 - 7.45, it is very important for a person to drink water with an alkaline pH daily. Such water has a healing effect and resists the oxidation of the body and diseases that are accompanied by oxidation.

In situations with a long-term acid-base disorder, in order to maintain a normal blood pH, the body is forced to take microelements and other nutrients from all organs (including bones). Of these, with excess acidifying food, alkalis are created to neutralize acids; with excessive alkalizing food, acids are formed to neutralize alkalis.

Literally everything weakens, including the immune system and the brain. A person develops chronic fatigue and other troubles. So how to get this treasured water?

To date, there are a number of devices that are the activator of the "fabulous drug" and help prepare water not only in the laboratory, but also in any household. Moreover, according to experiments, the benefits of such water can be experienced not only on yourself, but also on your pets and plants.

But there is another storehouse of "living" and "dead" water - these are mineral springs. The composition of all mineral waters includes four interrelated components - inorganic minerals, gases, organic substances and microflora. They are dissolved in water, the molecules of which, according to modern concepts, are interconnected by weak hydrogen bonds (with an energy of 20 kJ/mol) and form various polyassociates.

They talk about the unique "information" structure of mineral water, in which information about the substances dissolved in it is "recorded". Ancient thinkers already intuitively guessed this: Aristotle argued that "the waters are like the lands they pass through." Accordingly, the pH level of water, when passing through different rocks, will be different.

And an experienced gastroenterologist will never advise you to "drink some water" without first studying your acid-base balance. Yes, and in the pump room of the mineral spring there will definitely be an introductory plate about the composition and temperature of the water.


Recently, the Russia channel showed the film The Great Secret of Water. In it, scientists talked about the truly magical properties of the most common liquid on Earth. How much can you believe the facts presented in the picture?

The film is now arguing - both on the Internet and in print. Some were greatly impressed by professors from around the world, who assured from the screen that water can be “programmed” and used to treat the most complex diseases. And "alive" - ​​generally rejuvenate. Others were outraged by the film. In their opinion, researchers presented only their own untested and often unsubstantiated hypotheses as supposedly the latest scientific discoveries. Myths about water undertook to debunk the scientific expert "KP", the founder of the Club of Skeptics () Mikhail LEYTUS.

PLOT FROM THE FILM

She is alive and dead

Russian scientists from St. Petersburg Technical University found real living water in Venezuela - they brought samples from streams flowing near Mount Proraima (in the language of the Indians - "mother of all waters"). They were studied in the laboratory using a device that works on the basis of the well-known Kirlian effect: objects placed in a strong electromagnetic field begin to emit light - an aura. Its intensity allegedly testifies to the strength of energy.

It turned out that the energy of "virgin" water is 40 thousand times (!) More than that which flows from a water tap.

Living and dead water are two different substances. The primordial liquid is able to heal and rejuvenate, - concludes Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Konstantin KOROTKOV. - And the one that flows from our taps slowly destroys the body.

IN FACT

Can't rejuvenate

For biologists, the question "Can water be alive or dead?" - meaningless. As well as “Can a gas or a stone be alive?”

A living thing is something that has a metabolism, grows and multiplies. Water has no such properties. If, as in fairy tales, a substance that instantly heals wounds or rejuvenates the body existed, it would be a complex polymer created using high technology.

It is understandable why the sea between Israel and Jordan was called the Dead Sea: it is so salty that neither fish nor bacteria can live in it. And since there is no life on Earth without water, it can be conditionally called living. But these are only poetic metaphors. By the way, boiling water does not kill anything alive, except for bacteria, so it does not become dead from this, as many believe.

And the fact that tap water does not “glow” in an electromagnetic field, like Venezuelan, is a near-scientific snag. Nobel laureates Zhores Alferov and Vitaly GINZBURG believe that neither the biofield nor the aura exists - at least serious science has not been able to detect them. And the Kirlian effect is an ordinary gas-discharge glow, neon advertising glows in much the same way. "Devices" created on the basis of this effect are just toys. There was a case when a cut off half of a leaf of a plant glowed - simply because the whole leaf was photographed, and then they forgot to rinse the glass slide.

QUESTION - RIB

Is melt water useful?

If you believe the healers, then "the benefit of melt water is that, unlike tap water, it does not contain deuterium - a heavy element that causes serious harm to the body."

Skeptics have a different opinion: firstly, heavy water, that is, D2O water, in which deuterium isotope is located instead of hydrogen, is unstable and requires special conditions to maintain stability. For natural water, these conditions are insignificant. Man DOES NOT consume deuterium from water. This is the first deception.

Secondly, biologically active substances include enzymes, vitamins and hormones. Water has no biological activity, and when heated, it, like egg white, does not coagulate. This is the second deception. In fact, if water is frozen and then thawed again, some compounds remain in that piece of ice that has not yet melted. For example, molecules of chlorine salts are fixed during freezing, “weaving” into the crystal lattice of ice. When thawed, they gradually precipitate, not having time to reach the concentration required for a stable suspension. The result is simply dechlorinated water. In addition, there are fewer iron salts in melt water, which are introduced into drinking water by pipes. All this improves the taste. But modern household filters give the same effect.

Read about water filters.

"Structured" water heals everything

MD, an immunologist from the University of Nevada (USA), and at the same time a specialist in meditation energy treatment (!) Pearl LaPerla demonstrated an experiment showing how “structured” water affects human blood.

These red blood cells stuck together like a stack of coins because they have lost their electrical charge, which can lead to serious heart disease, says Dr. LaPerla. And he offers the patient to drink some "structured" water. After 12 minutes, he takes her blood again.

Now you see that the cells have revived because they have restored their electrical charge, they began to repel each other and carry oxygen, the doctor explains. - This water works real miracles.

IN FACT

Special purpose magnets

"Structured" water is an alternative medicine term. Healers receive it by passing ordinary water through a magnetic field. And they offer this liquid as a “super drug” that can even treat cancer. But modern medicine and biology deny the amazing healing properties attributed to "structured" water.

Of course, water reacts to external influences, - explains Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Eduard KRUGLYAKOV. - For example, if an electric field is applied to water, its molecules are ordered. But water has a very short memory. Remove this field, and in billionths of a second, the water will be in its original state.

QUESTION - RIB

Chumak spoke to her?

One of the types of "water" magic was promoted in the 1980s by Alan Chumak - to charge water directly through the TV. He offered to put jars in front of the screen for those who wished, and after a few minutes he began to make mysterious passes with his hands. Naturally, out of a million viewers, according to the law of large numbers, a couple of tens of thousands on the same day must have some kind of illness. And according to magical thinking, "after" necessarily means "due to." This is how empty sensations are born.

HELP "KP"

Skeptic Club

The club was created in August 1999 as a library for collecting and systematizing the natural-scientific causes of anomalous and mystical phenomena and a discussion forum. Today the site has several hundred articles and books about astrology, magic, UFOs, miracles. Gradually, on the basis of the site and the forum, a club arose, in which now there are about thirty people - from students to doctors of science, from psychologists to physicists. Their goals are the search and scientific research of mysterious phenomena, as well as natural science education, helping to distinguish real riddles from delusions and deception. ()

Silver antibiotic kills germs

The results of experiments carried out in many countries of the world have shown that it is enough for water to come into contact with a substance in order to learn about its properties and store this information in memory.

Did our ancestors guess about this when they turned ordinary water into healing water, using silver vessels for this? Today it is the best antibiotic.

IN FACT

Dangerous as lead!

The World Health Organization (WHO) has long confirmed the bactericidal properties of silver ions. But WHO experts at the same time emphasize that the physiological role of silver in the human body has not yet been studied enough. One thing is known: silver usually enters the body with water and food in negligible amounts - only 7 micrograms per day. And at the same time, such a phenomenon as a shortage of silver has not yet been described anywhere.

None of the serious scientific sources classifies silver as a vital bioelement. And, in addition to its beneficial properties, there are also harmful ones. Especially if there is an excess of silver. According to the hazard class, it can be compared with lead.

It is absolutely wrong to draw a parallel between silvered water and a saint. Ask any clergyman - the cross used in the sacrament of consecrating water can be any - even iron, even wooden, but they also bless water in large flowing reservoirs. It has been proved that short-term lowering of silver objects into water cannot change the properties of water and render it harmless. From the point of view of the use of silver for the disinfection of drinking water in water treatment systems, this method is no different from the use of chlorination, iodination, bromination and other chemical disinfection methods for the same purposes.

PLOT FROM THE FILM

Prayer heals

In the rituals of Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, water is important. And many believers read prayers before eating. Do we often wonder why and from where in such dissimilar religions there was confidence that this should be done? It turns out that the frequency of vibrations of prayers of any denomination, sounding in any language, is equal to 8 hertz, which corresponds to the frequency of oscillations of the Earth's electromagnetic field. Therefore, prayer forms in any water, including the one that is part of our body, a harmonious structure. So, it protects and heals.

IN FACT

Holy water spoils

American scientists from the Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina recently officially released the results of their study, during which several groups of people specifically prayed for patients suffering from heart disease.

It turned out that those patients for whom prayers were given, recovered after surgery no better and no worse than those for whom no one prayed. The study lasted three years and involved 750 patients from nine different clinics, as well as 12 prayer groups ranging from Christians in England to Buddhists in Nepal. Perhaps prayer heals only if you yourself strongly believe in its power? But there is a completely different mechanism at work here.

By the way, it is not a fact that holy water never spoils - some argue that the whole point is in what kind of dishes it is stored. Here are some reviews from one of the Orthodox sites.

Igor D.: “There is a clear sediment in the water kept by my mother, taken from the church at Baptism.”

E .: “From my personal experience, unfortunately, I can only say that holy water in plastic bottles deteriorates immediately.”

Introduction


Water is the source of life on earth. It was in the ocean that living cells appeared. The human body is 80% water, so it cannot live without it. In addition, water is the most amazing substance on Earth. Only it can exist in three states: solid, liquid and gaseous.

And even in its usual form, it is also diverse. So, scientists classify water into many types (Appendix 1). A person needs to know what kind of water has a beneficial effect on the body, and which, perhaps, is even harmful. It would seem that water has already been studied by man, but scientists are still finding the most amazing facts about this natural element.

« Raven splashed dead water - body

grown together, united;

the falcon splashed living water - Ivan Tsarevich

startled, got up and spoke ... "

We all remember how in Russian folk tales the heroes revived the dead with the help of Living and Dead Water.

We thought. After all, in any fairy tale there is an element of truth and fiction. Is there really living and dead water? With this question, we turned to the parents. My grandmother's hypothesis: that this is fiction.

My dad's hypothesis is reality.

My dad told us that in one old magazine a drawing was proposed for making a device for obtaining “living” and “dead” water at home. With colleagues at work, they assembled this apparatus, and dad began to test the resulting “healing” water on his head. Dandruff tormented, there was no salvation. And here - after the third washing of the head, dandruff was gone! On this, the experiment stopped, because the desired result was obtained. And the device remained on the shelf to wait in the wings.

We were interested in the idea of ​​obtaining magic water. There was a keen desire to test its miraculous power on plants. Isn't this a myth, but a reality?

Therefore, we chose the topic of our study: "Living and dead" water: myth or reality?"

Subject of study: water.

Object of study: the effect of water on plants.

Purpose of the study: study of the effect of water on plant growth.

Research objectives:

1. To study the device for obtaining "living" and "dead" water;

2. Analyze the properties of "living" and "dead" water;

3. Investigate the effect of "living" and "dead" water on plants;

Research methods:

It is thanks to water that life exists on our planet.

From the explanatory dictionary of the Russian language S.I. Ozhegov, we learned: “Water is a transparent, colorless liquid, which is a combination of hydrogen and oxygen.

In Russian folk tales dead water was used for two purposes: firstly, itsthey gave all evil spirits (Snake Gorynych) to drink before the battle andduring the rest between fights - from this evil spirits weakened.INsecondly, before using living water for rebirthlife, dead water irrigated wounds and restored the integrity of the wounded body.

Water is the subject of close interest of scientists.

In 1979, "living" and "dead" water was discovered by gas workers at a drilling test station in the Kyzylkum desert. Fleeing from the heat, the workers used a huge tank of water that had undergone electrolysis as a bathing pool. Since this solution did not differ in taste or color from water, people willingly bathed in it. After a few days of bathing, the workers noticed that the healing of abrasions, wounds, ulcers accelerated, there was a feeling of cheerfulness and energy throughout the body.

Scientists became interested in this work, but the materials were classified ...

Having studied the scientific literature, we found out that living water is understood as alkaline water, which gives energy to cells. In the scientific world, it is called catholyte. And under the dead - acidic, which takes energy from the cells. In the scientific world, it is called anolyte.

To begin with, we examined my father's apparatus for preparing "living" and "dead" water. Ordinary tap water should be neutral. And to get acidic or alkaline water, you need to pass an electric current through the water, resulting in water electrolysis.

What is electrolysis?

Electrolysis is the decomposition of water by electric current into "acidic" and "alkaline". As a result, one water is oxidized and another water is reduced.

The device for electrolysis itself consists of two stainless plates (electrodes) connected to a current source, a glass vessel (liter jar) and a canvas bag.

In our project, we decided to investigate the effect of "living" and "dead" water both on the seeds and bulbs of various plants, and on the plants themselves. The seeds of peas, cucumbers and bulbs of onions were taken as the test material.

Ordinary water is poured into a canvas bag, and then the bag is inserted into the jar. Then the device is inserted into the jar so that the plate coming from the anode is placed in the bag, and the second plate behind the bag. When an electric current is passed through water, an acidic environment is formed in the bag - it will be “dead” water, yellowish in color, and in a jar “living” water is alkaline, colorless with a white precipitate.

Attention! Safety precautions:

1. Operate the device only in the presence of adults!

2. It is possible to turn on the device in the electrical network only when it is filled with water and the electrodes are in the bank.

3. Do not touch the jar and the body of the device when it is plugged in.

4. Remove the device from the jar only when it is disconnected from the mains.

5. Do not leave the device unattended.

To prove the acidity and alkalinity of dead and living water, we went to a chemistry teacher.

It turned out that "dead" water has an acidic environment, and "living" water" has an alkaline environment. There was a high level of iron in the dead water. The chemistry teacher advised us to contact the Rubtsovsk Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology. We passed samples of living, dead water and tap water. The results of the study of our water surprised us.

In our experiment, in addition to “living” (L) and “dead” (M) water, for comparison, we used tap (B) water and holy (C) (Epiphany).

The material was observed daily and watered with different types of water. Photographs of the test objects were taken. The results were recorded in the observation diary.

We have soaked pea seeds in four types of water. In the "Living" water, the seeds awakened faster. "Dead" water did not give life, the seeds decreased in size and turned blue. In 10 days, peas grew like this:

Conclusion on peas: Sprouted peas are better in living water, life has not awakened in the dead. Slightly inferior, but sometimes ahead of the holy water.

We selected four bulbs of the same shape and size and put them in glasses with "live", "holy", tap and "dead" water. For 17 days of observation, the bow got up to look like this:

Bulbs give a feather faster in "living" water. "Dead" water is not conducive to bulbous growth.

Fresh flowers from bouquets are best placed in "living" water. In tap water, they will wither faster.

Tap water and dead water delay the germination of dry seeds in the ground.

The effect of living water on plants: gives energy, stimulates growth

Effect of dead water: disinfection, inhibits bacteria.

Research has confirmed the hypothesis put forward in the project - living and dead water does exist. This is not a myth, but a reality!

We were satisfied with the result and made sure that living and dead water exist. Both waters are useful in different situations. And that there is some truth in fairy tales.

Water, You are the greatest wealth in the world…”
