Can a strong magnetic field move water molecules because it is a polar molecule. How strong does the field need to be?
fredreload said:How bout giving water a magnetic moment then moving it with electric field?
fredreload said:How about electric field effect on magnet, since electric field attracts or repels charges such as electrons and protons. I should say water molecules being passed through a magnetic field instead of magnetic moment.
fredreload said:You are right, the effect of an electric field on water seems to be much stronger.

And water molecules are only very very weakly diamagnetic, and will be very slightly repelled by a magnetic field. But it takes an extremely strong magnet to even notice the effect.
The purpose of this research is to better understand the behavior of water molecules in the presence of strong magnetic fields, which can have important applications in various industries such as energy production, environmental remediation, and medicine.
Magnetic fields can interact with the dipole moment of water molecules, causing them to align and move in a specific direction. This can also lead to changes in the physical properties of water, such as its boiling point and surface tension.
Scientists use a variety of techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and neutron scattering to study the behavior of water molecules in the presence of strong magnetic fields.
Understanding how magnetic fields affect the movement of water molecules can have practical applications in industries such as energy production, where water is used as a coolant, and in environmental remediation to remove contaminants from water. It can also aid in the development of new medical technologies, such as targeted drug delivery and non-invasive imaging techniques.
Further research in this area could lead to the development of new technologies and processes that utilize the unique properties of water in the presence of strong magnetic fields. It could also provide a deeper understanding of the role of water in various natural phenomena, such as weather patterns and ocean currents.
