Effect of oscillating magnetic field on diamagnetic water

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the effects of an oscillating magnetic field on diamagnetic water, specifically when a large electromagnet is placed above it. The inquiry explores whether oscillating the magnet at the resonant frequency of water would create waves due to constructive interference. A participant suggests that microwave frequencies are necessary for this experiment, likening it to the operation of a microwave oven. The original poster also questions how the presence of saltwater would alter the effects observed. Overall, the conversation highlights the complexities of resonant frequencies and their impact on water's behavior in a magnetic field.

I’m interested in the natural phenomenon of diamagnetism. I understand the general concept behind the magnetic interactions, but I am curious about the results of the following experiment:
What happens when one places a large oscillating electromagnet (possibly superconducting) directly above a body of water with the axis of electromagnet normal to the surface of the water?
Because the diamagnetic properties of water, it sets up a magnetic field opposed to that of the coil. Once the coil is oscillating at the resonant frequency of the water, does the magnet effectively produce waves in the body of water?
I’m relating this experiment to that of the effect of resonant frequencies on buildings. I expect the amplitude of the waves on the water to increase due to constructive interference.
I recognize the maximum frequency is limited by the impedance of the coil.
Is the effect any different with a voltage applied to saltwater?
I’ve been unable to find any documentation of similar experiments; any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Tay

Right idea, wrong range of frequencies. You need microwave frequencies, because you are attempting to re-invent the microwave oven.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
