Wireless Electro Osmosis

Abstract

Excess moisture in a building is a serious problem that affects the quality of life and the durability of construction. The usage of electro osmosis in historic buildings has longer data as it is the least destructive method for removing noxious moisture from masonries. Beneficial effects of electro osmosis on the moisture elimination have been documented in various scholarly articles and works. Wireless electro osmosis, based on the influence of magnetic or electromagnetic field on the water cumulated in masonries is often questioned because of the lack of scholarly works focused on the physical principles of the method. Results from our own tests were confronted with the theoretical background.
