Holy sh*t! It worked! water. I put a lot of thought into designing this plasma thermos because plasma-enhanced water has the potential to reshape how we look at agriculture. When air is ionized, such as from plasma, nitrogen and oxygen get broken apart into multiple reactive compounds. Apart from the obvious ozone production, there is atomic oxygen and nitrogen, nitric oxide, hydroxyl radicals, nitrogen dioxide. All very reactive stuff that disappears quickly. However, if those compounds make contact with water, they lead to nitrates, nitrites, hydrogen peroxide, and lower pH. These are the same nitrogen and oxygen compounds present in plant fertilizer. Think about that. It's amazing. The plasma combines air and water to make nutrient rich water. Essentially, fertilizer for plants. I designed a skeleton frame which wraps around both the mixer and an acrylic water chamber, ultimately supporting a high-voltage source on the top composed of a flyback, Xevious driver, and high-voltage multiplier. My decision to use a voltage multiplier to produce high voltage was an intentional decision because when they're currently limited they are great at producing corona discharges and corona discharge is really efficient at producing oxidizing compounds compared to say a single hot plasma arc. Polarity baby, polarity. With high voltage DC, polarity makes a massive difference with how air is ionized. Ideally, plasma-activated water should have a pH near 6 with 10 to 20 parts per million of nitrates and minimal nitrites. Tap water, in my little part of the world, has a relatively high pH of about 8.3. Using a pH-sensitive chemical, you can see the coloration of this tap water is a rich, dark blue. On the other hand, tap water with acid added to bring it down to a pH of six corresponds to a color of vibrant yellow. Plasma treatment should turn the water from blue to yellow during tests. Giving it power, I step back and let plasma do its thing. Within about a minute, there was a noticeable change in coloration and by exactly three minutes, the entire mixing chamber had reached a bright yellow. I filled six with potting soil with one triplicate for plasma treatment and the other triplicate for control. Then I was off to find a fast growing plant species. Radishes, they take the cake with a three day sprout time. At day 13, the difference was profound. The control was still looking anemic. The plasma group differed story entirely. Plenty of biomass and after gently washing the soil out from their roots, the total biomass of the control group was 4 grams and the plasma treatment group 7 grams. That is a 75% increase in biomass. So holy shit, plasma activated water increased total harvestable biomass per unit area by 75%. It's amazing.
