DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to apparatus and methods for controlling the redox potential and the characteristics of hydrogen contained in water and to various uses of such water.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
It is well known that all biological systems live by undergoing oxidation and reduction reactions.
It is generally accepted that oxidation and the presence of an excess of hydroxyl free radicals produce degradation in certain biological systems in living organisms.
Specifically, scientific literature attributes certain cancers and other diseases such as Parkinsons disease to uncontrolled oxidation. Failure of the body's protective systems to quench the excess oxidizing free radicals leads to uncontrolled reactions resulting in such diseases.
It is known to improve water quality by electrolysis. A home unit for water improvement is manufactured and sold by Ange Systems, Inc. and distributed by Sanyo Trading Co., Ltd. in Tokyo, Japan and provides both acidic and alkaline water supplies. The acidic water is proposed for use as an antiseptic, while the alkaline water is proposed for use as drinking water.
There also exist certain contexts in which oxidation of undesired biological entities is desired. One example is the operation of oxidizing drugs, such as silver nitrate, which kill certain microorganisms.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
There is provided in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention a method of providing a water-based fluid with active hydrogen having selected characteristics comprising the steps of: fluid, whereby the fluid receives hydrogen atoms from the material, which hydrogen atoms have the selected characteristics.
There is also provided in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention a method of providing a water-based fluid with active hydrogen having selected characteristics, comprising the steps of: remainder of the material, to the fluid.
In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the fluid is oxidized prior to supply of hydrogen atoms thereto.
In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, the fluid is oxidized following supply of hydrogen atoms thereto.
Preferably, the at least one material comprises a plurality of materials, which may be selected from metals and elements in electrolyte solutions.
The plurality of materials may include drugs, olfactory compounds, or other organic compounds.
There is also provided in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention apparatus for providing a water-based fluid with active hydrogen having selected characteristics comprising: least one material to the fluid, whereby the fluid receives hydrogen atoms from the material, which hydrogen atoms have the selected characteristics.
There is additionally provided in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention apparatus for providing a water-based fluid with active hydrogen having selected characteristics, comprising: material, without the remainder of the material, to the fluid.
Further in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention there is provided apparatus for providing a water-based fluid with active hydrogen having selected characteristics comprising: container including an inlet for receiving hydrogen and at least one wall which permits hydrogen diffusion therethrough; and of hydrogen atoms between the material and the fluid, whereby the fluid receives hydrogen atoms from the material, which hydrogen atoms have the selected characteristics.
There may also be provided apparatus for oxidizing the fluid prior to or following supply thereof to the hydrogen exchanger.
There is also provided in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention apparatus for providing a water-based fluid with active hydrogen having selected characteristics comprising a container including an anode and at least one cathode formed of a material having selected characteristics, the container including an inlet for receiving a water based electrolyte, wherein hydrogen
