Summary
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.

The Floating Water Bridge Under Strong Electric Potential
1. Background
Recently an interesting phenomenon has been reported in literature by Fuchs and collaborators [1, 2] at the Graz University: the formation of a structured water bridge between two beakers filled with pure water and kept at widely different electric potential by platinum electrodes.In our facility at the ISPESL laboratories in Monteporzio Catone, we have reproduced the Fuchs experience (Fig. 1-2) replacing one or both platinum electrode^) with copper one and observing an addition...See the full content of this document
