The Effects Of A Weak Alternating Magnetic Field On Glutamic Acid, Carston Work, Ben Pound

Ben Pound

There has been substantial research showing the effects of Extremely Low Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (ELF-EMF) on various properties of liquids, among the most notable being the acidity of a solution. ELF-EMFs have amplitudes typically measured on the scale of microteslas, and have frequencies comparable to the cyclotron frequency of the molecule its ionic form. It is hypothesized that the magnetic field changes the coordination of water, which in turn affects the pH of the solution. This is difficult to measure directly, but it can be measured by adding a molecule that can be detected by IR spectroscopy that is sensitive …
