Low frequency electric fields were exposed to various water samples using platinum electrodes mounted near the water surface. Responses were monitored using a spectro-radiometer and a contact-angle goniometer. Treatment of DI (deionized), EZ (Exclusion Zone), and bulk water with certain electromagnetic frequencies resulted in a drop of radiance persisting for at least half an hour. Compared to DI water, however, samples of EZ and bulk water showed lesser radiance drop. Contact-angle goniometric results confirmed that when treated with alternating electric fields (E = 600 ± 150 V/m, f = 7.8 and 1000 Hz), droplets of EZ and bulk water acquired different charges. The applied electric field interacted with EZ water only when electrodes were installed above the chamber, but not beneath. Further, when DI water interacted with an electric field applied from above (E = 600 ± 150 V/m, f = 75 Hz), its radiance profile became similar to that of EZ water. Putting these last two findings together, one can say that application of an electric field on DI water from above (E = 600 ± 150 V/m, f = 7.8 to 75 Hz) may induce a molecular ordering in DI water similar to that of EZ water.
采用安装在水面附近的铂电极对各种水样进行低频电场暴露。使用分光辐射计和接触角测角仪监测响应。用某些电磁频率对 DI（去离子）、EZ（排除区）和散装水进行处理，导致辉度持续下降至少半小时。然而，与 DI 水相比，EZ 和散装水的样品辉度下降幅度较小。接触角测角仪的结果证实，当用交流电场处理（E = 600 ± 150 V/m，f = 7.8 和 1000 Hz）时，EZ 和散装水的液滴获得了不同的电荷。只有当电极安装在腔室上方时，外加电场才与 EZ 水相互作用，而不是在下方。此外，当 DI 水与从上方施加的电场相互作用时（E = 600 ± 150 V/m，f = 75 Hz），其辉度曲线变得与 EZ 水相似。将这最后两个发现放在一起，可以说，从上方（E = 600 ± 150 V/m，f = 7.8 到 75 Hz）对 DI 水施加电场可能会使 DI 水产生类似于 EZ 水的分子有序性。
