Water Vitalizer Beta

Now there are no parts of the Legacy Water Vitalizer left in my system.  I've got a Erlenmeyer Flask, and a Magnetic Spinner "Pill", sometimes called a Flea.  I still tuning the system a little.  The Spinner is a little short for the Rotor's magnet spacing, so it can sometimes break loose from the Rotor, and jump around like a Flea.  The Erlenmeyer Flask is two liters, and I'll need a better coupling between the Rotor, and the Spinner to get that much Water moving at a rate which can Oxygenate the Water.  Overall it is working fairly well, and with a little more tuning it will Rock!

New Water Vitalizer

Over the past week I have been breaking in the New Water Vitalizer.  The philosophy of the Legacy Water Vitalizer was to use a mineral basket to ionize the Distilled Water that you were supposed to put into it.  Well those mineral baskets are expensive, and prone to harboring contaminants.  Mold grows in them if they sit for any length of time without being used.  You cannot keep the lid on the pitcher when the unit is idle.  You'll wind up with a science experiment growing in your Water Vitalizer.  My spin on this is to use pre-oinized water which is in great supply.  The pre-ionized water gets reorganized in the Magnetic Stirrer.  This eliminates the contaminant trap.
Pre-ionized water is Spring Water.  The Ion that the pre-ionized water is ionized with depends on the Aquifer.  It is usually Sodium, or Calcium.  If you were to use Rain Water, or Distilled Water you would want to use something to add the Ions to the water, and that is why the Mineral Basket is there in the first place.  But if the Mineral Basket is going to harbor potentially harmful stuff I don't want to use it.  This gave rise to the idea of using pre-ionized water, and then just stir it.  You can apply a specific amount of energy to the water by the time you let it spin.  Over the past few days I have let a pitcher of water stir all day long.  I'll experiment with this more in the future...

Water Vitalizer... Hacked...

My Water Vitalizer broke down this weekend.  The motor quit.  I can hear the circuit trying to apply current, but the motor has too much friction to start.  Oh Bother!  I can't haz this...  I need my Water Vitalizer...
 Well, fortuitously I already have reverse engineered the magnetic coupling system, and built a Magnetic Stirrer.  So, I put the major parts together to see if they will work together, and they do.  The Magnetic Coupling System is almost perfectly matched.  So I have run a couple batches of water now, and it seems like its working good.  Itza Electromechanical Hack...
