Method and apparatus for applying electrical charge through a liquid having enhanced suspension properties

An apparatus (10, 50, 80, 300, 500, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500,1700, 1810) and method are provided. The method includes for example, treating a liquid in an apparatus to increase suspension properties of the liquid and dispensing the treated liquid (250, 302, 306, 308, 1414, 1504, 1917) from the apparat...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:An apparatus (10, 50, 80, 300, 500, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500,1700, 1810) and method are provided. The method includes for example, treating a liquid in an apparatus to increase suspension properties of the liquid and dispensing the treated liquid (250, 302, 306, 308, 1414, 1504, 1917) from the apparatus to a surface or volume of space (252, 304, 1506) so as to create an electrically conductive path by the treated liquid from the apparatus to the surface or volume of space. During the step of dispensing, an alternating electric field (E) is generated from the apparatus to the surface or volume of space, through the liquid along the conductive path, wherein the electric field is sufficient to destroy at least one microorganism (256) from the surface or in the volume of space.
