THE FLOATING WATER BRIDGE UNDER STRONG ELECTRIC POTENTIAL

Fuchs and collaborators [1, 2] showed that when a high voltage is applied between two electrodes, immersed in two beakers containing twice distilled water, a water bridge between the two containers is formed. We observed that a copper ions flow can pass through the bridge if the negative electrode is a copper electrode. The direction of the flux is not only depending on the direction of the applied electrostatic field but on the relative electronegativity of the electrodes too. The fact seems to suggest new perspectives in understanding the structure of water and the mechanisms concerning the arising of ions fluxes in living matter.
