The present invention relates to the field of drinking water quality improvement. More particularly, the invention relates to a water dispenser with means for refreshing and improving water quality and taste.
Water is an important human support life resource, which people usually drink from water resources. With the constant growth of people's living standards, much attention is i paid to the temperature, mouth feel, taste clearance, freshness and quality of the water. Such attention becomes increasingly necessary, especially in public places like offices or other workplaces, with personnel.
Conventional prior art methods use pre-packaged drinks, and specifically water, sold by vending machines, equipped with a variety of prepackaged drinks. However, in these kinds of pre-packed drinks (which are manufactured in mass production), the texture and quality of the water/drink cannot effectively meet the demands. For example, when one desires to drink cold water, tea, or hot coffee, this requirement cannot be fulfilled by pre-packaged drinks. For satisfying this requirement, there is a need for a refrigerator for cold water or an electric kettle for hot water.
In order to meet the needs of people drinking hot/cold beverages at home or public places without the need for a refrigerator or electric kettle, offices or other public places are provided with a water bar. However, since a water bar belongs to a relatively harsh field of producing drink water, it is difficult to ensure sanitary conditions, water quality and water taste. Therefore, there is a need to replace expensive parts and components (like filters, UV lamps, etc.) once in a few months, in order to properly maintain the device. This need for replacement of the water bar components increases the operation cost of the water bar. In Addition to the increase in the running cost (which leads to expensive maintenance of the water bar), if the consumer will not replace the necessary parts and components on time, the quality of the water will extremely decrease, and bacteria, fungi, tartar, rust and other contaminants may accumulate inside the water bar and contaminate the drinking water.
Studies showed that when drinking water is mixed, the water molecules, which usually are in a disordered state, become harmoniously arranged. Therefore, if the water will be mixed all the time, their quality and taste will be improved and the water will become fresher.
The study “Effects of Distant Intention on Water Crystal Formation: A Triple-Blind Replication” (Radin et al, Journal of Scientific Exploration, Vol. 22, No. 4, pp. 481-493, 2008) suggested that crystal images in the intentionally treated condition were rated as aesthetically more beautiful than proximal control crystals (p ¼ 0.03, one-tailed). This supports the assumption that intention affects the properties of water. Water exposed to or “treated” by positive intentions results in frozen water crystals that are aesthetically more pleasing than similar crystals formed from “untreated” water.
“Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) for Water Disinfection Monitoring, Control, and Documentation” (Suslow et al., publication 8149, University of California, Davis, 2004, ISBN-13: 978-1-60107-319-8) talks about the fact that ORP sensors allow easy monitoring and tracking of critical disinfectant levels in water systems. Coupled with pH sensors, more-sophisticated systems use ORP sensors to provide automated “demand-based” injection of hypochlorite (or other approved oxidizing disinfectant) and acid, typically food-grade citric acid, muriatic acid, or phosphoric acid.
In addition, other studies showed that music has an influence on water quality, freshness and taste. Sound waves in general, and especially positive words, affect the structure of the water molecule. According to these studies, playing specific sound waves (music), especially with positive words, near the water improves their quality and taste and makes them fresher.
Masaru Emoto suggested that human consciousness has an effect on the molecular structure of water. Emoto's book “The Hidden Messages in Water” published in 2004 disclosed a pseudo-scientific hypothesis that water could react to positive thoughts and words and that polluted water could be cleaned through prayer and positive visualization. Emoto said that water was a “blueprint for our reality” and that emotional “energies” and “vibrations” could change the physical structure of water. Emoto's water crystal experiments consisted of exposing water in glasses to different words, pictures, or music and then freezing and examining the aesthetic properties of the resulting crystals with microscopic photography. He claimed that water exposed to positive speech and thoughts would result in visually “pleasing” crystals being formed when that water was frozen and that negative intention would yield “ugly” frozen crystal formations.
“Water Vortex—Towards Sustainable Technologies” (Jurendić et al., Journal of Basic and Applied Scientific Research, 2013) discusses dynamics of the water molecule(s), and ways to treat water using fractal mathematics and implosion engineering, which exploit water vortex for changing the order of water molecules.
“Alkaline Water and Longevity: A Murine Study” (Margo et al., Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2016, Article ID 3084126, 2016) discloses a survival study regarding the biological effect of alkaline water consumption on longevity. The survival study has been conducted on a population of 150 mice and showed that mice watered with alkaline water showed better survival than control mice. Statistical analysis revealed that alkaline water provides higher longevity in terms of “deceleration aging factor” as it increases the survival functions when compared with the control group. Therefore, animals belonging to the population treated with alkaline water resulted in a longer lifespan.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a water bar with means for refreshing and improving water quality, for obtaining high quality, clean (from tartar, rust, minerals, bacteria, etc.), delicious, soft and fresh drinking water.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a water bar with means for obtaining disinfected water with a desired pH and ORP levels, without using electric intervention such as electrolysis.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent as the description proceeds.
A water dispenser with means for refreshing and improving water quality and taste, comprising:
The water dispenser may further comprise:
The water dispenser may further comprise a mixing speed adjustment element (such as a potentiometer or a transformer), for determining water mixing desired speed by determining external motor rotation speed.
The water dispenser may further comprise LED illumination for illuminating the water dispenser, located in the base upper part.
The water dispenser may further comprise stickers with positive words affixed to the water container on its external side, for creating positive thoughts and a positive experience for a user when drinking water from the water dispenser.
The internal magnet may be wrapped with Teflon (or other isolating material), in order to prevent the internal magnet from touching the drinking water inside the water container.
Water mixing increases the water pH to a level of about 10 and decreases the Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) to a level of about −500.
The above and other characteristics and advantages of the invention will be better understood through the following illustrative and non-limitative detailed description of preferred embodiments thereof, with reference to the appended drawings, wherein:
The present invention provides a system for providing disinfected water with the desired pH and ORP levels, which rearranges the water molecules to obtain a desired harmonic order, to thereby remove toxic ingredients and continuously revitalizing the consumed water.
The proposed system may be implemented, for example, as a water bar with means for revitalizing the water by refreshing and improving water quality and taste.
An external motor 12 located inside the base 13 and under the water container 1, rotates the external (lower) magnet 11. Due to the magnetic field interaction between the two magnets, its rotation influences the internal magnet 10 and the internal magnet 10 rotates too. The rotation of the internal magnet 10 and consequently, the external magnet 11, causes a water mixing effect inside the container 1, such that a vortex is generated. The water mixing also increases the water pH to a level of about 10 (for example), and decreases the Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) to a level of about −500 (for example).
The water bar base 13 (can be made from iron, wood, etc.) is divided in the middle into two parts, an upper part and a lower part, by partition 14. In the upper part of the base 13. there is an axis 15 connected to the external (lower) magnet 11 and to the external motor 12 through the partition 14. In the lower part of the base 13 there is the external motor 12, mounted to the base partition 14 with screws 16 (or with other mounting elements). The lower part of the base 13 has a mixing speed adjustment button 17 (connected, for example, to a potentiometer), which enables to choose the water mixing desired speed (by determining the motor 12 rotation speed). In the base 13 upper part, there is also a LED illumination element 18 for illuminating the water bar 100.
The water container 1 is also comprises a water tap 19, through which the user can pour clean fresh water to different receptacles 20 (can be a cup, tank, bottle, bowl, etc.). The external motor 12 and the LED illumination element 18 are connected to the power electricity by an electric cable 21 with a transformer 22 for providing the water bar 100 with the suitable voltage level required for its operation. On the water container 1, there are stickers 23 with positive words (like: “Love”, “Happiness”, etc.) affixed to the container's external side. When the user sees these positive words, he/she may think positive thoughts and have a nice and positive drinking experience. As discussed above, such positive words and thoughts also stimulate positive intentions and result in the improvement of water quality.
On the other side of the container 1 there is the water tap 17 and a cup 20 under it for pouring water. The base 13 is shown at the bottom of
According to another embodiment, external filter 3 may be used for purifying the incoming water by using Magnesium minerals, which increase the water pH level and decrease the ORP level. Such purification may be implemented continuously by maintaining a constant circulation of water which is pumped out from the water tank by a water pump, passed through the filter and then returned back into the water tank. This way, the stability of the ORP level is maintained for obtaining the anti-oxidation effect.
As various embodiments have been described and illustrated, it should be understood that variations will be apparent to one skilled in the art without departing from the principles herein. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited to the specific embodiments described and illustrated in the drawings.
