“…Gang et al [4] found that only one hour of exposure to 0.16 T static magnetic fields produced alterations in diffusion velocity of a solute for an additional ~6 to ~9 hr that was a function of the water volume during exposure. The effect was consistent with the intensity-dependent diminished viscosity reported by Fahidy [5].…”

Spring water but not double-distilled water was exposed, in darkness, to a temporally patterned weak magnetic field that has been shown to affect planarian behavior and slow the rate of cancer cell proliferation. Exposure to the magnetic field caused a reliable shift in the peak (longer) wavelength of ~10 nm for fluorescence emissions and a ~20% increase (~100 counts) in fluorescence intensity. Spectral analyses verified a shift of 5 and 10 nm, equivalent to ~1.5 × 10 −20 J "periodicity" across the measured wavelengths, which could reflect a change in the an intrinsic energy as predicted by Del Giudice and Preparata and could correspond to two lengths of O-H bonds. Wrapping the water sample containers during exposure with copper foil, aluminum foil, or plastic altered these fluorescent profiles. The most conspicuous effect was the elimination of a ~280 nm peak in the UV-VIS emission spectra only for samples wrapped with copper foil but not aluminum or plastic. These results suggest that weak magnetic fields produce alterations in the water-ionic complexes sufficient to be reliably measured by spectrophotometry. Because the effect was most pronounced when the spring water was exposed in darkness and was not disturbed the role of thixotropic phenomena and Del Giudice entrapment of magnetic fields within coherent domains of Pollack virtual exclusion zones (EZ) may have set the conditions for subsequent release of the energy as photons.

“…The negligible energy value of a single magnetic ion in moderate magnetic fields in comparison with the energy of its thermal motion in an electrolyte is the basic obstacle for the theoretical explanation of numerous experimentally observed effects of inhomogeneous magnetic field influence on the processes of deposition and etching [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Really, the magnetic energy of a paramagnetic ion is at least 4-6 orders of magnitude less than k Β T, where k Β is the Boltzmann constant and T is the absolute temperature.…”

Liquid-liquid separation near a steel ball surface during etching and deposition processes in crossing gravity and magnetic field was investigated here both experimentally and theoretically. The influence of the Earth gravitation on the shape of the interface between the two quasi-stationary liquid phases in an electrolyte with different magnetic susceptibilities was experimentally observed. The shape of the interface is described theoretically based on the equation of the balance of osmotic, magnetic, and hydrostatic pressures in the Earth's gravity. The impact of Earth's gravity on the shape of the interface in electrolyte is described theoretically for the first time.

Some influences of magnetic fields on chemical reactions have been recently studied, but there is no general agreement about the phenomena and their explanation (Fahidy 1983(Fahidy , 1990(Fahidy , 1999Tacken and Janssen 1995;Waskaas 1996;Yamamoto et al 1996Yamamoto et al , 1999Debos et al 2000;Hinds et al 2002;Perov et al 2002Perov et al , 2004Lu et al 2003Lu et al , 2005Coey 2003; Rhen et al 2004;Alemany and Chopart, 2007;Koza et al 2008;Lu and Yang 2008). …”

The rise of magnetochemistry from Ritter to Hurmuzescu

This paper describes the early history of magnetochemistry: the search for chemical effects of magnetism in the nineteenth century. Some early researchers, such as Johann Wilhelm Ritter, attempted to reproduce with magnets the effects that had been produced by electricity and Volta's battery. For several decades, researchers successively reported positive results and denied claims concerning the effect of magnetism in oxidation, electrolysis, reduction of metals from saline solutions, crystallisation, change of colour of vegetable tinctures and other chemical reactions. In the two last decades of the nineteenth century some effects were accepted as real, and a thermodynamic theory of the influence of magnetic fields upon chemical reactions was developed. Finally, Dragomir Hurmuzescu was able to create reproducible experiments and measured the electromotive force between two electrodes, with or without the presence of magnetic fields, confirming the existence of the phenomenon and obtaining results compatible with the theoretical predictions. Afterwards, this magnetochemical effect was accepted as real, but the effect was weak and its practical importance was negligible. The subject was gradually forgotten.
