"Citrus fruits also bear fruit here, in the Far North. However, not in the tundra, but on the windowsills, with thorough care, requiring both top dressing and watering. For the latter, I heard that it is recommended to use not ordinary, but activated water. Tell me, dear editors : in what and how is it obtained?

I. Chasovnikov, pos. Miner, Chukotka

The answer to this and similar appeals of our other readers is the published thematic selection.

BANK-ACTIVATOR

Starting a series of experiments related to the selection of frost-resistant varieties of corn, I remembered the amazing properties of water treated with direct electric current. In particular, that the catholyte formed in the cathode zone has reducing (alkaline) properties and behaves truly like "living" water, in contrast to its antipode - anolyte, a kind of oxidizing agent, or "dead" water obtained in the anode region. Counting on the high biological activity of the catholyte, I decided to treat a handful of seeds with it before sowing in the soil that had not yet warmed up.

"Living" water required quite a bit. But where is the "spring" from which it can be obtained?

I found an exhaustive clue in the library files of the magazine "Modeler-constructor" for the past years (No. 12'83, 3'87, 3'96). And since I didn’t have a properly equipped home workshop, no parts recommended by the magazine, and no time to repeat any of the published developments, I whipped up the simplest water activator. This is a liter glass jar with two electrodes made of 44NKhTYu alloy lowered into it (you can use stainless steel table plugs), connected to the household network in series with a current-limiting lamp and a KD202Zh diode. A semi-permeable membrane and a short-term storage of "living" water, obtained at the cathode, was a segment of a canvas fire hose sewn from below.

Rice. 1. Quick activator: 1 - jar (1 l); 2 - electrode (alloy 44NKhTYu, strip 40x2, L150, 2 pcs.); 3 - semi-permeable membrane (a bag of 125 mm piece of tarpaulin fire hose); 4 - activated water (0,8 l); 5 - plastic cover; 6 - diode KD202Zh; 7 - M5 bolt (2 pcs.); 8 - current limiter (table lamp, 220 V, 40 W); 9 - electric cord; 10 - plug; pos. 8 - 10 are depicted conditionally

Activation of water in such a device takes no more than eight minutes (excessive delay in the process threatens to boil). The resulting catonite is ready to be drained and used both for soaking seeds before planting them in the ground, and as a healing additive when watering plants. If simple water has an acidity of pH=7, then for "live" it reaches pH=10.

It should be noted that the corn treated with catonite sprouted together, and two days earlier than usual on the control plot. Plants that periodically received a healing additive in the form of "living" water during irrigation, noticeably succeeded in growth, they formed full-weight cobs.

In short, catonite from an activator can is good for everyone. The only pity is that it retains its amazing properties for only a week.

...AND WITH A MAGNET

The water activator I developed consists of two half-liter plastic bottles of kvass glued together (their walls at the junction have a window measuring 170x5 mm, covered with a semi-permeable membrane), two submersible electrodes, a rectifier and a magnetizing device. The latter is a 3200-turn coil wound with PEV2-0,15 wire on a plastic sleeve 60 mm long and with an outer diameter of 6 mm. It is best to install such a magnetizer in the incision of a drain tube, which can serve as a rubber medical probe.

Build a spring of living water
Rice. 2. A device for receiving and magnetizing activated water: (adapter-rectifier of four KD203 or KD213 diodes and switching circuits are conventionally not shown): 1 - a half-liter plastic bottle (with a 170x5 window cut into the side wall, 2 pcs.); 2 - water; 3 - semi-permeable membrane (tarpaulin, strip 180x10); 4 - electrode ("stainless steel", rod with a diameter of 10, L200, 2 pcs.); 5 - wire PMV-2,5; 6 - screw M4 (2 pcs.); 7 - drain tube (rubber medical probe, L300,2, 8 pcs.); 9 - magnetizer bushing (polyethylene); 3200 - magnetizer coil (2 turns of PEV0,15-10); XNUMX - bandage (duct tape)

"Live" or "dead" water is taken in a siphon way through a drain tube lowered respectively into the cathode or anode half of the activator that has completed its work. The final product is the result of magnetization of the catholyte, which has reducing (alkaline) properties, or its acid antipode - anolyte, which does not stimulate, but rather inhibits the development of microorganisms and cells of living tissues.

In any case, the membrane is a tarpaulin strip 180x10 mm in size, cut, for example, from a used protective glove, a fire hose, and even a frayed overalls of a gas-electric welder. As practice shows, it is the used tarpaulin that works best in the activator. It does not interfere with the process of formation and separation of bipolar ions during the passage of direct electric current through water and does not allow mixing of the catholyte with the anolyte when the activator is de-energized.

One can judge the activity of "live" or "dead" water by litmus paper, the color of which in alkaline-acid media is probably remembered by many from school chemistry lessons. But at home, phenolphthalein, which forms the basis of purgen tablets, is more accessible for express analysis.

A solution of such a tablet in a tablespoon of ordinary water gives a good liquid indicator. If you drop it into a spoon of catholyte, then by the instant reddening of the sample you can be sure of the activity of "living" water (after half a month of storage, the staining proceeds more slowly and in a less saturated color). If, however, a catholyte colored in this way is dropped into an anolyte sample and the indicator becomes discolored, then there is no doubt about the strength of the "dead" water.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>
