« Raven splashed dead water - body
grown together, united;
the falcon splashed living water - Ivan Tsarevich
startled, got up and spoke ... "
We all remember how in Russian folk tales the heroes revived the dead with the help of Living and Dead Water.
We thought. After all, in any fairy tale there is an element of truth and fiction. Is there really living and dead water? With this question, we turned to the parents. My grandmother's hypothesis: that this is fiction.
My dad's hypothesis is reality.
My dad told us that in one old magazine a drawing was proposed for making a device for obtaining “living” and “dead” water at home. With colleagues at work, they assembled this apparatus, and dad began to test the resulting “healing” water on his head. Dandruff tormented, there was no salvation. And here - after the third washing of the head, dandruff was gone! On this, the experiment stopped, because the desired result was obtained. And the device remained on the shelf to wait in the wings.
We were interested in the idea of obtaining magic water. There was a keen desire to test its miraculous power on plants. Isn't this a myth, but a reality?
Therefore, we chose the topic of our study: "Living and dead" water: myth or reality?"
Subject of study: water.
Object of study: the effect of water on plants.
Purpose of the study: study of the effect of water on plant growth.
Research objectives:
1. To study the device for obtaining "living" and "dead" water;
2. Analyze the properties of "living" and "dead" water;
3. Investigate the effect of "living" and "dead" water on plants;
Research methods:
From the explanatory dictionary of the Russian language S.I. Ozhegov, we learned: “Water is a transparent, colorless liquid, which is a combination of hydrogen and oxygen.
In Russian folk tales dead water was used for two purposes: firstly, itsthey gave all evil spirits (Snake Gorynych) to drink before the battle andduring the rest between fights - from this evil spirits weakened.INsecondly, before using living water for rebirthlife, dead water irrigated wounds and restored the integrity of the wounded body.
Water is the subject of close interest of scientists.
In 1979, "living" and "dead" water was discovered by gas workers at a drilling test station in the Kyzylkum desert. Fleeing from the heat, the workers used a huge tank of water that had undergone electrolysis as a bathing pool. Since this solution did not differ in taste or color from water, people willingly bathed in it. After a few days of bathing, the workers noticed that the healing of abrasions, wounds, ulcers accelerated, there was a feeling of cheerfulness and energy throughout the body.
Scientists became interested in this work, but the materials were classified ...
Having studied the scientific literature, we found out that living water is understood as alkaline water, which gives energy to cells. In the scientific world, it is called catholyte. And under the dead - acidic, which takes energy from the cells. In the scientific world, it is called anolyte.
To begin with, we examined my father's apparatus for preparing "living" and "dead" water. Ordinary tap water should be neutral. And to get acidic or alkaline water, you need to pass an electric current through the water, resulting in water electrolysis.
What is electrolysis?
Electrolysis is the decomposition of water by electric current into "acidic" and "alkaline". As a result, one water is oxidized and another water is reduced.
The device for electrolysis itself consists of two stainless plates (electrodes) connected to a current source, a glass vessel (liter jar) and a canvas bag.
In our project, we decided to investigate the effect of "living" and "dead" water both on the seeds and bulbs of various plants, and on the plants themselves. The seeds of peas, cucumbers and bulbs of onions were taken as the test material.
Ordinary water is poured into a canvas bag, and then the bag is inserted into the jar. Then the device is inserted into the jar so that the plate coming from the anode is placed in the bag, and the second plate behind the bag. When an electric current is passed through water, an acidic environment is formed in the bag - it will be “dead” water, yellowish in color, and in a jar “living” water is alkaline, colorless with a white precipitate.
Attention! Safety precautions:
1. Operate the device only in the presence of adults!
2. It is possible to turn on the device in the electrical network only when it is filled with water and the electrodes are in the bank.
3. Do not touch the jar and the body of the device when it is plugged in.
4. Remove the device from the jar only when it is disconnected from the mains.
5. Do not leave the device unattended.
To prove the acidity and alkalinity of dead and living water, we went to a chemistry teacher.
It turned out that "dead" water has an acidic environment, and "living" water" has an alkaline environment. There was a high level of iron in the dead water. The chemistry teacher advised us to contact the Rubtsovsk Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology. We passed samples of living, dead water and tap water. The results of the study of our water surprised us.
In our experiment, in addition to "living" (L) and "dead" (M) water, for comparison, we used tap (B) water and holy (S) (Epiphany).
The material was observed daily and watered with different types of water. Photographs of the test objects were taken. The results were recorded in the observation diary.
We have soaked pea seeds in four types of water. In the "Living" water, the seeds awakened faster. "Dead" water did not give life, the seeds decreased in size and turned blue. In 10 days, peas grew like this:
Conclusion on peas: Sprouted peas are better in living water, life has not awakened in the dead. Slightly inferior, but sometimes ahead of the holy water.
We selected four bulbs of the same shape and size and put them in glasses with "live", "holy", tap and "dead" water. For 17 days of observation, the bow got up to look like this:
Bulbs give a feather faster in "living" water. "Dead" water is not conducive to bulbous growth.
Fresh flowers from bouquets are best placed in "living" water. In tap water, they will wither faster.
Tap water and dead water delay the germination of dry seeds in the ground.
The effect of living water on plants: gives energy, stimulates growth
Effect of dead water: disinfection, inhibits bacteria.
Research has confirmed the hypothesis put forward in the project - living and dead water does exist. This is not a myth, but a reality!
We were satisfied with the result and made sure that living and dead water exist. Both waters are useful in different situations. And that there is some truth in fairy tales.
Water, You are the greatest wealth in the world…”
From this article you will learn:
Water, which a person uses not only for drinking, but also in other areas of his life, has a lot of different properties. In addition, water can have specific energy useful or harmful to humans. With the help of a modern method of influencing the composition and properties of water - electrolysis - from ordinary water it is possible to obtain a liquid endowed with positively or negatively charged ions. This is the so-called living and dead water.
Every nation has legends that in one way or another talk about springs or lakes with life-giving water. Living and dead water is mentioned more than once in Russian legends: this water heals the wounds of heroes and brings them back to life.
Statesmen of different eras stubbornly tried to find a drug that prolongs life. What is meant by living water that brings eternal life?
According to the legends of the Slavs, living and dead water is water with magical properties, with the help of which the priest brought the hero who died in battle to life. It happened in the following way: first, the healer irrigated the wounds with dead water, and they immediately disappeared; then watered with living water, and the hero came to life.
And although such legends and epics cannot be considered completely reliable, there is still some truth in them. This is confirmed by historical documents, which contain information about witchcraft manuscripts with magic spells and recipes.
In various sources, you can see information about the presence in the archives of the Vatican of old books with detailed algorithms of actions that are beyond the understanding of an uninitiated person. Many famous people all over the world considered it quite real that water could prolong life.
Russian researchers of folk art have found that the usual expression for us to crush water in a mortar in ancient times meant a certain action that was part of a pagan rite. At a time when Christianity became the main religion in Rus', the original meaning of expressions related to ritual actions was lost or significantly distorted.
It is quite possible that during the period of paganism, Slavic healers and priests of other peoples, using their slander, herbs or minerals, turned water into life-giving. In Christianity, this practice has been preserved to this day. But today you will not surprise anyone with the fact that water can be endowed with special properties, and without the intervention of the Magi: for example, silver or manganese ions.
Many people, calling water living, mean spring, artesian, melted or consecrated water. The very words already evoke a feeling of thirst.
Will water from a pond or swamp, from a river next to a chemical plant, or chlorinated tap water make you thirsty? Hardly. But can we call such water dead, and how can it heal wounds?
In science, dead water is understood as anolyte - a solution of acids (acidity from 2.5 to 3.5 5 mV), which destroys bacteria. It looks like ordinary water, smells like acid and has a sour, slightly astringent taste.
The antibacterial qualities of dead water make it a good disinfectant. Dead water is used to treat dressings and other medical materials, rooms, linen or utensils.
With such water, it is useful to do wet cleaning in the room of a sick person in order to exclude a possible relapse or to protect relatives from the spread of infection. Dead water helps to remove fleas and bedbugs from the house: for this, the room, beds and bed linen are washed with it.
Dead water is a miraculous way to get rid of colds of the ear, throat and nose. Prevention of acute respiratory diseases or influenza by washing the throat with dead water is good for surviving seasonal epidemics.
The range of application of dead water for medicinal purposes is quite wide. Such water saves from insomnia, reduces nervous tension and pain in the joints, heals damage to the oral mucosa (stomatitis), helps to dissolve stones in the bladder.
Dead water can stay in a sealed container for up to two weeks without losing its qualities.
The scientific name of living water is catholyte. It is a colorless mixture with a slight taste of alkali, the acidity of which varies from 8.5 to 10.55 mV. Such water is able to stimulate the biological activity of body tissues.
Living water is a natural catalyst for the biological activity of the body, it reconstructs the natural defense system of a person, neutralizes oxidation. Such water, in combination with the intake of vitamins, significantly raises the level of vitality in a person.
Catholyte stimulates regenerative processes in the body, increases blood pressure, normalizes appetite and metabolism, and the human condition as a whole becomes better.
Living water heals wounds, including ulcers in the stomach and duodenum, bedsores, burns, quickly heals skin damage. In addition, the use of living water has a noticeable cosmetic effect: the skin becomes softer, wrinkles decrease, seborrhea is cured and the hair structure is restored.
There are a lot of areas of application of living water, and in each of them its miraculous effect is confirmed. You can literally revive wilted flowers by placing them in a container of living water. If you water plants or trees with such water, then the harvest will be richer than usual. Knowing this property, it is actively used in agriculture.
The assertion that living water has a double benefit is quite justified: in addition to its direct healing purpose, it increases the effect of any drug taken by a person for recovery. Houseplants also start to grow better if they are watered or sprinkled with living water.
Unfortunately, the biochemical properties of living water are unstable and last only two days. Even if you store such water in the dark and in a sealed vessel, after two days it loses its special qualities. Recently, there has been an active development of devices that could convert ordinary water into living water.
The main task of the creators of such devices is to make sure that the water remains alive for as long as possible. The owner of the German company for the production of such water, Dine Aschbar, was able to preserve the unique properties of living water in practice, however, according to her, quite expensive equipment is needed for this.
But is the above description of living and dead water the only one? An analysis of various sources of information suggests that there is no single conceptual apparatus on this topic. Different water is called living and dead water, often without providing a scientific basis for it.
There are a number of opinions about what living water is:
There are also a number of opinions about what is dead water:
If you carefully consider these lists, it is easy to notice the duality. For each characteristic of living water there is a description of dead water: water with a regular structure - unstructured water; magnetized water - water with poor memory (non-magnetized); Pi-water is not Pi-water; cathode and anode water; melt water - non-melt water; water with minerals - purified water (distilled).
To begin with, let's try to understand what is the peculiarity of each water, and after that everything will fall into place.
In such water, hydrogen bonds are organized in a certain order.
There are a number of varieties of such water, differing in the way the ordering was used and how the molecules are arranged relative to each other. What unites them is that the molecules are still in a certain order.
Energetic microgrouped structured water. It is one of the types of structured water, which was discovered by a scientist from Japan.
Part of the water that collects around the negative electrode (anode) during electrolysis. The positively charged ions of water allow it to have a positive redox potential. The hydrogen index in this case is less than 7. Water is called dead with the quantitative advantage of hydrogen ions over electrons.
Water concentrated around the positive electrode, the particles of which are negatively charged. The redox potential is negative. The hydrogen index is higher than 7. Such water is called alive for the characteristic quantitative predominance of alkali anions and electrons in its composition.
Water, whose memory has retained positive information (heard kind words or thoughts). Water gives the received message to human cells. There are a number of methods for filling water with the necessary data, for example, church consecration.
Water, which the cells of the human body assimilate easily, without additional activation. In this case, energy is conserved. There are various methods of influencing water, with the help of which it becomes biologically active. This includes changes in its structure, which means that this water is classified as structured.
Water obtained after the melting of ice retains a special structure. Therefore, melt water also refers to structured water.
You should know that melt water is prepared in a special way. During the freezing process, the first layer of ice formed is removed, and during the thawing, the part of the water that melted last is not used.
Water extracted from underground with the help of deep wells or springs that have come to the surface. Passing through natural filters of various rocks, the water is naturally saturated with useful minerals and acquires a special structure. It is also one of the types of structured water.
Water seeped through mineral deposits becomes enriched with minerals. The most beneficial for humans are calcium and magnesium, they are not subject to the maximum allowable norms. The remaining minerals have restrictions on concentration standards. Therefore, the composition of mineralized water should be controlled so that it does not turn from useful into poisoned.
Water without impurities after distillation in a distiller or water purified by reverse osmosis. Such water can be obtained using some filters and water purification systems.
There are theories that such water leaches salts from human bones, and they become fragile, can easily break. In this context, the phrase optimal composition of minerals is often used.
Another type of structured water, which is obtained by exposure to a relatively weak magnetic current. After that, water molecules acquire a certain order and carry other information.
Water from both lists has undergone some kind of filtration and hydrotreatment. These processes are mentioned when describing such a property as water memory. This quality is completely dependent on the structure of water. Water remembers the impact made on it, as a result of which the structure is preserved. The memory is preserved both about the bad influence and about the good. Only structured water is capable of storing information. It is the presence of structure that allows water to remember.
How to make a device for receiving living and dead water
It is not necessary to look for living or dead water in natural reservoirs. At home, it can be isolated in the process of electrolysis. Water obtained in this way is often called activated.
Soviet scientists of the largest medical institutes in the 80s investigated the qualities of living and dead water. The strictest secrecy and inaccessibility of information outside a narrow interested group was the norm of those times, so the bulk of the data received was closed to the public. However, everything secret sooner or later becomes clear, especially when a person is strongly interested in obtaining information. First of all, healers and doctors became such interested people.
The water from the tap becomes activated during the electrolysis process. There is a scientific explanation for the qualities it acquires. Living water is alkaline and excellent for healing wounds. Dead water is a good disinfectant due to its acidic characteristics. Electric current changes the structure of water, removing non-ecological, negative information.
As a result of the reaction of water to the action of an electric current, its natural division into two equally useful parts occurs. To cure a number of diseases, the methods of living and dead water are combined in different ways. For each disease, their own systems for receiving activated water have been studied and selected. On the Internet you can find quite a lot of publications and tables on this topic.
In our country, the author of the device that turns ordinary water into living and dead is considered to be N.M. Kratov. The invention has its own complicated history. In 1981, Kratov underwent treatment for prostate adenoma and inflammation of the kidneys for more than a month. Drug treatment did not have the desired effect, and the future inventor was offered an operation. The man refused this method of treatment and was discharged.
Simultaneously with the unsuccessful traditional treatment of Kratov himself, his son could not get rid of the wound on his arm for more than six months. The possibilities of activated water have been tested for the healing of this long-lasting sore wound. After washing, the tissues recovered in two days.
Inspired by the success, the creator of the device began to take living water three times a day before meals, half a glass, and soon his health improved significantly. As it turned out, together with the adenoma, the swollen legs were cured in a week and the inflammation of the roots of the spinal nerves (sciatica) disappeared.
For the final verification of the effectiveness of the treatment, Kratov passed the necessary tests in a medical institution. In the clinic, the fact of recovery was confirmed. Another pleasant result was the normalization of blood pressure.
As it happens in life, gradually everyone learned about the results of taking living and dead water, and people began to ask Kratov for help. Among them was a woman who burned her hand with boiling water. Treatment with living and dead water healed a third-degree burn in two days.
For six months, a neighbor's boy suffered from an abscess in his throat and inflamed gums. Standard medical treatment did not help. On the recommendation of the inventor, the boy disinfected his gums and throat with dead water every two hours, then drank a glass of living water. After three days of such treatment, the wounds healed and the child recovered.
How to make an apparatus of living and dead water with your own hands? An elementary device for direct electrolysis can be made from simple items:
On the plastic plane, which will be located directly above the neck of the container, we make two mounting holes for the bolts. Between them we drill a third hole with a large diameter for the diode.
The device for obtaining living and dead water should be assembled in the following order:
From a canvas bag, you need to quickly pour water into a separate container as soon as you turn off the current. The cathode electrode will create living water around itself. The fabric acts as a membrane and separates the solutions after the voltage is turned off. The diode is an AC to DC converter. The apparatus of living and dead water is ready for use. To obtain healing water, you only need to pour water into the jar and into the bag inside it, and then turn on the power.
If you are not a supporter of the production of living and dead water at home and want to use a high-quality device, you should purchase it from the manufacturer. If you absolutely do not want to delve into the processes of producing a healing liquid, you can simply buy living and dead water.
Listed below are diseases for which the use of living and dead water can be beneficial. It is important to remember the key point: dead water disinfects, living water gives energy. First we use dead water (inside or outside), then after 15-30 minutes in the same way live. The principle of operation is as follows: disinfection is performed with dead water, while living water starts the recovery process.
For three days after eating, you need to rinse the mucous membranes of the nose, throat and mouth with dead water. Drink half a glass of live water 10 minutes after each procedure.
It is possible to cleanse the skin of various rashes in a few days by wiping it with dead water. For preventive purposes, the treatment is repeated.
To remove salt deposits, which most often cause joint pain, it is useful to drink dead water three times a day, half a glass before meals. It is recommended to do this for three days. For greater effect, you can add compresses from dead water heated to 40-45 degrees. Already on the first or second day of application, the pain disappears. A pleasant effect of such procedures is good sleep, lowering blood pressure and, in general, stabilizing the functioning of the nervous system.
The course of treatment for bronchitis and bronchial asthma lasts three days. During this period, up to five times a day, you need to rinse the nasopharynx with warm dead water after eating. After 10 minutes, drink half a glass of living water. If after the end of the course the desired effect could not be achieved, you can go to 10-minute inhalations. A liter of dead water is heated to 80 degrees and the steam is breathed.
Inhalation is carried out up to four times a day. The final procedure is done with living water and the addition of baking soda. As a result, the irritation that causes coughing is reduced, and overall well-being becomes better.
With this diagnosis, three times a day, 30 minutes before meals, it is recommended to drink living water. On the first day, ¼ cup, in the next two days, ½ cup. By reducing the acidity of the digestive juice in the stomach, pain decreases or disappears, appetite normalizes.
In this case, an enema is made first with dead water, and an hour later - with live water. During the day, take two to three glasses of dead water. The next day, 30 minutes before eating, you should drink ½ cup of live water.
A headache can be relieved by drinking half a glass of dead water and wetting the head with it. If the cause of the pain is a bruise or concussion, lotions from living water can help. Most often, the pain subsides after 40-50 minutes.
Empirically, the benefits of rinsing the nasopharynx with warm dead water have been proven. You need to do this often, up to eight times a day. At night, drink half a glass of live water. As part of such treatment, fasting is recommended on the first day.
Manifestations of varicose veins should be wiped with dead water, then make a compress with live water (15-20 minutes) and drink ½ cup of dead water. It is important to do this regularly.
Systematic rinsing of the gums with live water for two to three minutes, immediately after meals and between meals (additionally up to four times a day), relieves inflammation and heals ulcers. Treatment is carried out within two days.
You need to start processing the burned area of the skin with dead water. Allow it to soak for five minutes, and then treat the wound with living water. Subsequent washings should be done only with living water. It is better not to pierce the blisters on the skin, and if they nevertheless burst and become inflamed, they must be washed first with dead, and then with living water. Usually burned skin scars from three to five days.
Disinfect the wound with dead water. We apply a cotton or gauze compress moistened with live, and bandage. We do the subsequent processing with living water.
If the wound begins to fester, clean it with dead water. As a rule, healing occurs in a couple of days.
In the morning on an empty stomach drink dead water (5-70 g), after half an hour - live water (150-250 g), then four more doses of live water per day. Gradually, thanks to a systematic intake, the stones in the kidneys will disappear.
First of all, it is recommended to exclude meals on the day of treatment. You need to drink dead water every two hours, 100 grams. To enhance the effect, before the production of dead water, salt is added to the container, a third of a teaspoon per liter. Indigestion can stop in about ten minutes, dysentery will pass in a day.
Each time before eating, take 70 grams of dead water inside and then drink 200-300 grams of living water after 15 minutes. Pain is relieved, appetite and the general condition of a person are normalized.
You can get rid of unpleasant sensations if you drink living water (100-200 g) before each meal.
After the usual shampooing, it is useful to rinse the hair with dead water, rinse with live water after a couple of minutes. For a more noticeable result, it is not recommended to dry your hair with a towel.
Seborrhea will pass, the hair will become more obedient and acquire a silky sheen.
Living water gives a tonic effect and pressure stabilization. It is drunk before meals (150-250 g) in the morning and in the evening.
Visible regeneration of the skin and reduction of the depth of wrinkles occurs as a result of regular procedures with dead and living water. Especially if, before preparing live and dead water, add a few pinches of salt to the compartment of the tank with a negative electrode. First you need to wash with salty dead water, then live. It is important to let both water dry naturally on the skin, without the help of a towel. This procedure should be carried out up to three times a day.
Skin rejuvenation occurs especially quickly (in two or three days) in people who lead a healthy lifestyle and have the right eating habits.
The problem of dirty water in the house can be partially solved by installing a high-quality filter, but in such systems it is periodically necessary to replace components, because it directly depends on how well the drinking liquid will be cleaned.
At the same time, the question remains: how to ensure that our workplace or a child at school has the best quality water? The best solution is to buy it with delivery.
The Iceberg company offers favorable conditions for servicing its customers:
Clean water is valuable, but it should not be worth its weight in gold. Our mission is to provide every home and workplace with high-quality drinking water, so we have prepared the most favorable conditions for our customers.

When I read these lines in the poem "Ruslan and Lyudmila", I became interested and really wanted to know if living and dead water really exist? If it exists, what is it? What is its feature? Under what conditions does water become alive or dead?
Relevance
For the human body, water is second only to oxygen in importance. It is a necessary component of the functioning of all organs of the human body. Water promotes digestion, blood circulation, the removal of toxins and the absorption of vitamins. It is also necessary to maintain the normal temperature of the human body. A person needs to know which water has a beneficial effect on the body, and which, perhaps, is even harmful. If there is living and dead water, then what opportunities will it give a person.
Hypothesis
I suggested that there is living and dead water and it has unusual properties.
Goal of the work
The study of the unusual properties of living and dead water.
Research objectives
Subject of study: pH of different water samples and its effect on plants.
Research methods.
Theoretical:
In the process of studying the theory, I found information about living and dead water.
to the bond length H - H is 0.618
108 0
According to Petrik's theory, such water is suitable for the human body, it is living. To preserve the basic structure of water that the planet gave birth to, Academician Petrik invented a nano-carbon filter that purifies any water and makes it alive.
Practical research methods
What kind of water can be called living or dead? For the experiment, I took different water:
| 2 | Cathode: | 2H 3 O + 2e - \u003d H 2 + 2H 2 O |
| 1 | Anode: | 4OH - 4e - \u003d O 2 + 2H 2 O |
2H 2 O 2H 2 + O 2 
The physical and chemical composition of water changes due to the electrolysis of water. The author called alkaline water (catholyte), which is a strong biostimulant, living water, and acid water (anolyte, it has a specific smell), which has a powerful disinfecting and sterilizing (prevents bacteria from developing) action, inhibiting the course of biochemical reactions.
The chemical experiment was as follows:
I determined the pH of the medium using universal indicator strips and Likont test strips.
Results:
Conclusion: with the help of a chemical experiment, I proved that the composition of water differs in pH. Living water (pH> 7) is raw, salty, alkaline, and dead water (pH
chemical experiment
I decided to study the effect of different water samples on the germination of Dansky watercress seeds, 18 days radish and leaf development, onion root formation.
On the same day, I sowed radish and watercress seeds and watered the crops. In cups with different water, I put onions for germination. 
The results of the seedling experiment on the sixth day:
Conclusion: Seeds watered with snow and distilled water germinated best. There were no lettuce seedlings watered with boiled water, and single shoots were in seeds watered with salt water. 
Seeds watered with acidic and alkaline water were placed 3 days later, but shoots began to appear already on the third day.
The results of the experience of seed germination on the thirteenth day:
Lettuce - rare seedlings 4.5 cm high;
radish - shoots 2.5 cm high, thicker and stronger.
Shoots of lettuce are rare from 1 to 4 cm,
radish seedlings are also rare and from 1 to 3.5 cm.
There are no shoots, those seeds that sprouted at the beginning of the experiment died.
Lettuce shoots are very rare, 0.5 cm high;
Radish seedlings are rare, up to 4 cm high.
Lettuce seedlings are rare, uneven, 1 to 4 cm high;
Radish seedlings are rare, 2 to 4.5 cm high.
Seed germination results on the ninth day
Lettuce shoots are uneven from 1 to 2.5 cm; 
Shoots of radish from 0.5 to 2 cm
Shoots of lettuce uniform 3 cm high;
Radish seedlings 3 cm high.
General picture of a biological experiment on the germination of lettuce and radish seeds
Conclusion: The most even, healthy and dense shoots of seeds watered with alkaline, distilled and snow water. Seedlings watered with raw, boiled and acidic water are much worse. There are no shoots of seeds watered with salt water. Although the seeds watered with acidic and alkaline water were germinated 3 days later, seedlings appeared earlier and turned out to be more powerful and strong, practically did not differ from those planted earlier.
Results of a biological experimentfor sprouting onions.
Bulbs of the same size were taken for germination and germinated for 13 days. 
IN raw tap Onions do not have a root system in water, the water is cloudy with mold, it has a specific smell, the onion rots. 
IN distilled water near the bulb, green feathers appeared, a very good root system - 7 cm long, 4 cm wide.
The roots are stable, even, long. 
IN salty water, the root system is absent. 
IN boiled water root 11 cm long, 3 cm wide, onion feathers appear.
In the snowy water roots are stable, even, short, length 5 cm, width 2.5 cm. Onion feathers are the largest of all samples. 
Onion sprouting in alkaline water was delivered on 4.03. (four days later).
The roots are stable, uneven, long, several sprouts: length 9 cm, width 2 cm.
The results of the experiment showed that the most developed root system in bulbs standing in distilled, boiled, alkaline and snow water. Salt and raw water were not suitable for germination in this case.
Theoretical substantiation of the result of the experiment.
Thus, according to the hydrogen index, live water (pH> 7) includes: raw, salty, alkaline, and dead water (pH that raw water was not suitable for sprouting onions, as it had an unpleasant smell of diesel fuel and contained some harmful impurities Salt water does not contribute to seed germination at all, because it causes the death of plant cells.Alkaline water justified its name "living" - seeds germinated well and onion roots and leaves formed in it.
Conclusion:
My hypothesis was not fully confirmed: living and dead water exists, but it does not possess any unusual properties. In this case, the epithets "living" and "dead" are nothing more than a metaphor.

INTRODUCTION ______________________________________________________________________________
Living and dead water is the result of electrolysis. It is obtained using special devices that endow the liquid with a positive or negative electrical potential. In this case, the resulting "living" water (with a negative potential, alkaline), which has healing properties, and "dead" (positively charged, acidic) water, which has disinfecting properties.
Relevance of the work: Currently, "living" and "dead" water has become very popular, many people actively use its healing properties. It is because of this popularity that we decided to test the properties of this water and its effect on living organisms from a scientific point of view.
The purpose of the work: To study the properties of "living" and "dead" water, compare them with the properties of ordinary water, to investigate the effect of living and dead water on biological objects.
Chapter I. What is "living" and "dead" water

1. "Living" and "dead" water in folklore
Probably, there is no people on Earth who would not have myths and fairy tales related to the important role of water in human life. It was in folk tales that we first met living and dead water.
Living water (strong or heroic) in the folk tales of all Indo-European peoples is a symbol of spring rain, which resurrects the earth from winter sleep. She restores life to the dead and sight to the blind.
The difference between dead and living water appears only in Slavic fairy tales and is not repeated anywhere. Dead water is sometimes called healing: it heals inflicted wounds, splices the dissected parts of a dead body, but does not yet resurrect it, only sprinkling with living water returns it to life.
Living and dead water exist not only in fairy tales. Living and dead water can be obtained from ordinary water using electrolysis. In real life, they also have healing properties, which makes them quite popular.
2. What is "living" and "dead" water
"Living" and "dead" water is obtained by electrolysis. Electrolysis is a redox process that occurs on electrodes when an electric current passes through an electrolyte solution or melt.
The essence of electrolysis is the implementation of chemical reactions due to the energy of an electric current - on a negatively charged electrode - the cathode, electrochemical reduction of particles (atoms, molecules, cations) occurs, and on a positively charged electrode - electrochemical oxidation of particles (atoms, molecules, anions).
After treatment with electricity, the water is divided into two fractions, which have healing properties. Acidic water, which collects at the positively charged anode, is called "dead", and alkaline (concentrating near the negative cathode) is called "live".
"Living" water (catholyte, alkaline) - very soft, light, with an alkaline taste, water, sometimes with a white precipitate; its pH = 10-11. Living water is formed at the cathode as a result of the reduction reaction:
2H2O + 2e = H2 + 2OH–
As a result of cathodic (catholyte) treatment, water acquires an alkaline reaction, its ORP decreases, surface tension decreases, the amount of dissolved oxygen decreases, the concentration of free hydroxyl groups increases, and electrical conductivity decreases.
"Dead" water (anolyte, acidic) is brownish, sour, with a characteristic odor and pH = 4-5 units. Dead water is formed at the anode as a result of the oxidation reaction:
2H2O - 4e \u003d O2 + 4H +
During anodic electrochemical treatment, the acidity of water increases, the redox potential increases, the surface tension decreases slightly, the electrical conductivity increases, the amount of dissolved oxygen and chlorine increases, the concentration of hydrogen and nitrogen decreases, and the structure of water changes.
By adjusting the duration of electrolysis, it is possible to obtain water with different pH values.
3. History of discovery
About who and how discovered the amazing properties of living and dead water, as always in the case of any great discovery, there is a lot of controversy.
Most likely, the first electrolyzer was designed by nature: the amazing properties of various medicinal waters were already known in ancient times.
Man has been using electrolysis since the beginning of the 18th century. But in Russia, intensive studies of living and dead water began in the 80s of the last century and were carried out by the leading USSR. But research in this area, like many others, was carried out in secrecy and most of the results were not advertised and were not available to the general public.
4. Application of living and dead water
Anolyte and catholyte are widely used for the treatment of various diseases, as well as for economic purposes. Activated water has properties similar to those of body fluids (blood, lymph, etc.), so the body does not need to modify it, it immediately joins in life and thereby eliminates the causes of many diseases. Activated water is also used in everyday life, gardening and horticulture, for hygienic purposes, in animal husbandry, poultry farming, beekeeping, etc.
Dead water (anolyte, acidic) is an excellent bactericide, disinfectant.
It has inhibitory properties and slows down bioprocesses. It is used to combat microorganisms and fungi.
It is used in the prevention and treatment of colds, flu,.
Reduces blood pressure, calms the nervous system, improves sleep.
Helps in the treatment of paradanthosis, stops bleeding gums, dissolves stones on the teeth.
Reduces joint pain.
Quickly helps with intestinal disorders.
Dermatomycosis (fungal skin diseases) disappear in a few days.
The disinfection properties of dead water are enhanced if 5 g of table salt is dissolved in it before turning on the electrolyzer.
Household purpose: Disinfection of residential and non-residential premises, soil, containers, clothes, shoes, descaling the walls of dishes, increasing the shelf life of vegetables and fruits, and much more.
Normalizes the work of the digestive tract in pets and poultry.
Living water (catholyte, alkaline) is an excellent stimulant, tonic, source of energy.
It sets the whole body in motion, gives energy, vigor, stimulates cell regeneration, gently increases blood pressure, improves metabolism.
Perfectly heals wounds, ulcers, including stomach and duodenal ulcers, bedsores, burns.
Helps in the treatment of prostate adenoma, in the treatment and prevention of polyarthritis, osteochondrosis.
Household use: accelerates seed germination, stimulates flowering of domestic flowers, revitalizes green vegetables and withered flowers, improves the taste of baked goods (when kneading dough on live water), the quality of syrup for feeding bees (bees become more energetic), stimulates growth and resistance to diseases of domestic poultry and livestock (decrease in the mortality of young animals), watering the beds with live water stimulates the ripening of the crop.
The combined use of living and dead water helps fight diseases such as hepatitis, psoriasis, and women's diseases.
Chapter II. Practical part
1. Sociological survey
We conducted a sociological survey among school students, its staff and Internet users to identify the average level of knowledge about "living" and "dead" water among young people and teachers.
The survey consisted of four questions. In person, 70 people were interviewed. The number of respondents on the Internet was not limited.
Questions:
1) Have you heard about the concept of "living" and "dead" water?
2) Do you believe in the healing properties of "living" and "dead" water?
3) What do you think, what kind of water can be called "dead"?
4) What do you think, what kind of water can be called "living"?
Answer options:
1) Yes/No
2) Yes/No/Difficult to answer
3) Distilled / Rain / Melted / Positively charged
4) Distilled / Holy / Spring / Negatively charged
Below are the survey results
Table 1. Question one
Table 2.
Table 3
Table 4 
Conclusions: Most of the respondents heard about "living" and "dead" water. An almost equal number of people have a positive or negative attitude towards its medicinal properties. Half of the respondents believe that distilled water can be called "dead" water. "Living" water, according to half of the respondents, can be called spring water.
2. Making a device for obtaining living and dead water
A device for obtaining living and dead water can be made by hand.
The design is an electrical circuit consisting of items and parts available in everyday life, i.e.: connecting mounting wires, an automatic switch, an electric incandescent lamp, a diode rectifier bridge (in an integrated version), two tablespoons of stainless steel are used as working electrodes. steel, two crocodile clips, two glass vessels, a cotton swab and ordinary water. As a power supply - a household electrical network 220v (50Hz).
The device is assembled as follows: Glass vessels are filled with water, each of which is immersed in a stainless steel tablespoon. Using a small cotton swab moistened with water, we connect the containers with water to each other, as shown in the figure. We connect an electrical circuit to the spoons using crocodile clips. The electrical circuit is a series connection of a circuit breaker, a diode bridge, an incandescent light bulb (25-40W.220V), electrodes, which are used as spoons, by connecting wires. Thus, the assembled electrical circuit is connected to the 220V power grid.
In order to ensure electrical contact between these banks, they should be connected with a cotton cord wrapped in gauze (you can additionally wrap it with thread). In this case, the tourniquet should first be moistened with water. Such a harness will connect the cans electrically and provide a path for ions to pass between the cans during operation. Thus, living water will accumulate in one jar, and dead (yellowish) water will accumulate in the other. Therefore, after the end of the process, it is enough to simply turn off the installation from the network and get catholyte and anolyte, just from different cans, and of the same capacity. Cooking time takes about half an hour.
By adjusting the duration of electrolysis, it is possible to obtain water of the required concentration, which is measured in units of pH.
3. Obtaining living and dead water using the Melesta electric activator
3) a glass with a porous partition inserted into the main container;
4) removable cover with electrodes.
Operating procedure:
1) Pour water into the main and inner containers, after filtering it with a carbon filter.
2) We install the top cover on the main tank so that the black electrode is in the inner vessel.
3) Turn on the device in the network for 20 minutes. In the main container, “live” water is obtained, and in a glass, with a porous partition, “dead” water is obtained.
The resulting water has the properties of "living" and "dead" water for only a week. Then, it loses its properties.
4. Measurement of the pH level of "live" and "dead" water
pH - Hydrogen index (pondus Hydrogenii) - a measure of the activity of hydrogen ions in a solution, and quantitatively expressing its acidity, is calculated as a negative (taken with the opposite sign) decimal logarithm of the activity of hydrogen ions, expressed in moles per liter:
To conduct the experiment, we used the pH sensor of the Archimedes digital laboratory.

Conclusions: according to the measurement results, "living" water has a pH level of 9.8 (alkaline). pH of "dead" water = 5.75 (acidic).
5. Measurement of the electrical conductivity of "live" and "dead" water
Electrical conductivity is the ability of a body to conduct electric current, as well as a physical quantity that characterizes this ability and is inverse to electrical resistance.
To conduct the experiment, we used the electrical conductivity sensor of the Archimedes digital laboratory.

The results of measuring the electrical conductivity of ordinary water
The results of measuring the electrical conductivity of distilled water
Conclusions: According to the measurement results, the electrical conductivity of "living" water = 0.65. Electrical conductivity of "dead" water = 0.56. Electrical conductivity of ordinary tap water = 0.67
6. Measurement of the freezing point of "live" and "dead" water
“Live”, “dead” and ordinary water was poured 2-3 ml into three different test tubes, respectively, after which a temperature sensor was placed in the test tube, and the test tube itself was placed in a beaker filled with water with sodium chloride (NaCl) dissolved in it and snow or ice.
Recorder setup:
Below are the results:
The results of measuring the freezing point of "living" water
The results of measuring the freezing point of "dead" water
The results of measuring the freezing point of ordinary water
Therefore, the true results table looks like this:
Conclusion: the freezing point of ordinary, “living” and “dead” water is different, increasing by one degree, respectively.
7. Study of the effect of "living" and "dead" water on the germination of seeds of oats (avena sativa)
Sowing oats (Avйna satнva) or fodder oats, or ordinary oats is an annual herbaceous plant, a species of the genus Oats (Avena), widely used in cereals. Oats are a good object of study, as they grow rapidly, are easily observed, and are undemanding to environmental conditions.
Setting up the experiment:
Results:

8. Study of the effect of "living" and "dead" water on Paramecium caudatum
Ciliates shoe, caudate paramecia (Paramecium caudatum) is a species of ciliates of the genus Paramecium.
As an object of study, the ciliate shoe is suitable for us, because by the nature of its movement in water, one can quite easily determine the suitability of this water for life.
Setting up the experiment:
Photo1. Infusoria in ordinary water
Photo 2. Infusoria in "living" water Photo 3. Infusoria in "dead" water
In distilled water, active behavior of Ciliates was observed.
In "living" water, Ciliates also behaved actively.
In the "dead" water, Ciliates formed a cyst, as the conditions are unfavorable. This is due to the increased acidity of the "dead" water.
Conclusion: in "living" water, the existence of the Infusoria Shoe is possible, in contrast to the "dead" one.
CONCLUSION
"Living" and "dead" water exists not only in fairy tales and myths of the Russian people. Living and dead water can be obtained as a result of electrolysis. According to the measurement results, "living" water has a level
pH = 9.8 (alkaline), dead water pH = 5.75 (acid). This is due to the presence of negatively and positively charged ions (OH– and H+). The electrical conductivity of "living" water (0.65) and the electrical conductivity of "dead" water (0.56) turned out to be lower than the electrical conductivity of ordinary tap water (0.67). The freezing point of "live" and dead water is higher than that of ordinary water by one and two degrees, respectively.
"Live" and "dead" water have a positive effect on seed germination. "Dead" water improves root growth. "Living" water has a positive effect on the growth of the stem. Plants in "dead" water grew much faster than in "live" and distilled water.
In "living" water, the existence of Ciliates Shoe is possible, unlike "dead" water, since "dead" water is an acidic environment. Once in such an environment, the protozoa form a cyst to experience adverse conditions.
Thus, our experiments have confirmed that "living" and "dead" water really differ in properties from ordinary water and affect biological objects.
