According to the present invention, the above-mentioned problems are solved by disposing at least one pair of permanent magnets having an N pole and an S pole facing each other with a water pipe interposed therebetween. A pair of non-magnetic conductive metal plates that are opposed to each other across the water pipe and that are partially in conduction with the inside of the water pipe, and that allow water to pass through the water pipe. The magnetic flux and an electromotive current generated in a direction orthogonal to the direction of the flowing water are guided to the non-magnetic conductive metal plate, thereby causing electrons to act on the flowing water in the water pipe, and processing by the magnetic force of the permanent magnet. And the above-mentioned object is achieved.

On the other hand, the water activating device according to the present invention includes a water passage pipe, at least one pair of permanent magnets which are arranged with the water passage pipe separated and the N pole and the S pole face each other, and the permanent magnet. A pair of non-magnetic conductive metal plates, which are disposed at positions facing the magnetic flux between them and are opposed to each other with the water pipe interposed therebetween, and a part of which is electrically connected to the inside of the water pipe, the water pipe, and the permanent magnet. And a housing for accommodating the non-magnetic conductive metal plate.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, the principle of the method for activating water according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 1, reference numerals 1 and 1 respectively denote permanent magnets arranged such that an N pole side 1a and an S pole side 1b face each other and are separated from each other, and 2 and 2 denote permanent magnets 1 and 1, respectively. The non-magnetic conductive metal plates are separately arranged at positions facing the magnetic flux in the direction indicated by the broken line arrow 3 between them and in a state of facing each other like the permanent magnets.

When the permanent magnet and the non-magnetic conductive metal plate are arranged as described above, an electromotive current is generated when the water to be treated flows in the direction surrounded by these members in the direction of the solid arrow 4. However, this electromotive current is in the direction orthogonal to the direction 3 of the magnetic flux and the direction 4 of the flow of the water to be treated, that is, the dashed arrows 5 and 5
As shown by, the current flows in a direction orthogonal to the surfaces of the non-magnetic conductive metal plates 2, 2.

The intensity of this electromotive current is proportional to the magnetic flux density, the electrode distance, and the flow velocity, and can be expressed by the following equation. E = K · BdV E: electromotive current, K: constant, B: magnetic flux density, d: electrode distance,
V: Flow velocity of water

This electromotive current is induction-charged so that there is no discharge loss, and the electrons generated by this charging are efficiently discharged into the running water (see arrows 6 and 6 in FIG. 1). Is the above-mentioned non-magnetic conductive metal plate, and therefore, a metal having a high electric potential, for example, a single layer plate of copper is selected as the material. In order to further improve the electron emission efficiency, a metal plate having a high potential and a metal plate having a low potential are superposed and joined to form a composite plate, and the metal plate having a high potential is arranged so that the surface thereof is on the running water side. It This is because, in this case, a metal having a high potential becomes more noble and a metal having a lower potential becomes more noble due to the so-called “contact battery action”, and thus the emission of electrons is promoted. In addition, as a combination of metals forming such a composite plate, copper (Cu) -aluminum (Al),
Silver (Ag) -nickel (Ni) can be illustrated.

The electrons emitted into the running water are water molecules (H2
O 2 which is a part of O) is an electron acceptor,
This oxygen is charged to increase the dipolarity of water and widen the bond angle of hydrogen atoms, which increases the aggregation density between water molecules, reduces clusters, and lowers the redox potential.

At the same time, the electrons emitted into the running water are weakly electrolyzed into the water to be treated [H2O → (H ++ e-) + O].
H] is generated, whereby hydroxyl radicals are formed to weakly alkalize the water to be treated.

As described above, according to the method of the present invention, the water to be treated to be treated is subjected to a magnetic force known per se and an electron to act, and the water is activated by the synergistic action of these. .

a-16f) so as to face the space between the housing and the water passage tube and the water passage tube in the same manner as the permanent magnet, except that the permanent magnet 16 is in the vertical position in FIG. It is provided with a pair of non-magnetic conductive metal plates 18 (18a and 18b) arranged at the left and right positions. In this embodiment, each non-magnetic conductive metal plate is configured as a composite plate in which a copper plate and an aluminum plate are superposed and joined, and the copper plate surface faces the water pipe 14 side.
1 (181a and 181b) are erected, the carbon rods are fitted into the through holes formed in the water pipe, and therefore each non-magnetic conductive metal plate 18 is electrically connected to the inside of the water pipe 14. .

Test Examples and Comparative Test Examples Commercially available magnetic water activation system having a water activation device (10) according to the present invention shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 and a magnet having a magnetic flux density equivalent to that of the device. Using the apparatus (X) and performing the water treatment in the manner and equipment shown in FIG. 4, the half-value width of the nuclear magnetic resonance frequency, redox potential and pH of the treated water were measured.

The measurement results were as shown in Table 3 to Table 5 below.

As shown in each of Tables 3 to 5 above, the half-value width of the nuclear magnetic resonance frequency is slightly lowered in the commercially available water activating device, but the water activity according to the present invention is small. According to the device, only one pass reduced the frequency from 135Hz to 92Hz, about 68%.
It becomes 2 Hz, which is about 54%. The smaller the numerical value of the nuclear magnetic resonance oscillation, the smaller the water clusters and the more active the molecular motion.

On the other hand, the oxidation-reduction potential hardly decreases in a commercially available water activating device, but according to the water activating device of the present invention, it decreases from 261 mV to 211 mV in one pass to about 81%, and when circulating for 10 minutes, 96 mV. Became about 37
%, Which means that the water to be treated absorbs electrons to improve the reducing power and the bipolarity is increased.

Furthermore, the pH is 7.2 for untreated water, whereas it is 7.3-7.4 when treated with a commercially available water activation device, while the water activation according to the invention is When treated with a device, it is 7.6 to 7.7 and changes to a more alkaline side, which means that the generation of hydroxy radicals, that is, the degree of electrolysis of water is high.
