Super Water

... a solution that wipes out single-celled organisms, and which appears to speed healing of burns, wounds and diabetic ulcers.

The solution looks, smells and tastes like water, but carries an ion imbalance that makes short work of bacteria, viruses and even hard-to-kill spores.

It can kill viruses used in biological warfare very quickly as well by simply spraying the stuff over the infected area.

It also gives the power to fly.
 
Call me a skeptic, but let's just wait a while to see if it really works.
 
Well according to the article they're already using it. I'd say thats pretty good proof.
 
Thats pretty sweet. Can't wait to see it complete.

I'd like a second opinion article.

How trustworthy is wired anyway?

I've heard of it before but never visited.
 
Hah, Wired is pretty darned trustworthy. They're probably the authority on all things technological as far as magazines go.
 
I got one bottle of those! :O My dad bought it home (victim of advertisements)
 
I don't see whats so amazing, creating a high concentration gradient outside a cell will make it enter the cell making is overly turgid then explode. I mean the the same thing happens if you put any cells in a concentrated solution, nothing new there. It just seems to good to be true for something so basic we knew a long time ago. If it turns out to work properly and theres no problems with water potential or polarity then w00t i guess.

edit: it said if a baby drinks it razor they just get 'cleaner teeth' but then im sure the lining of the stomach isn't that compressed anyway. Theres no stratified epithilium as its constanntly replaces cos of stomach acid, so i'd think it would speed up the stomach wall breaking down, faster than it could be replaced = bad.

... the super-oxygenated water is claimed to be as effective a disinfectant as chlorine bleach, but is harmless to people, animals and plants. If accidentally ingested by a child, the likely impact is a bad case of clean teeth.

Your body would simply treat it as regular water. Neither you nor your stomach would even know the difference. So yes you can drink it.

Because #1 there is no harm in using with humans and #2 it is far cheaper to keep than what they were using before.

If it's that simple, then why didn't you make it, and get rich...? :thumbs:

Wow, so you could clean your teeth with it and not have to worry about a tooth brush, fantastic.

It would only get rid of the bacteria in your teeth. You would still have to worry about the food you ate being stuck and staining your teeth.

However if it works like they say it does then most cases of bad breath and cavaties would be a thing of the past.

I dunno! I kind of makes sense, but then to get the different concentrations right for each type of bacteria would be hard. Water potential is a sensitive thing. I didn't know it wouldnt effect multi-cellular organisms, i'm still trying to work out how. I mean if it got into your blood theres erithrocytes, phagocytes, lymphocytes (red and white blood cells) which aren't enclosed by other cells just randomly travelling in the blood. If you put this stuff on open wounds, im sure in the blood it would make those cells explode, basically meaning you have no immune system, or gaseous exchange = suffocate and die. There must be some molecular biology here thats totally new. Onwards and upwards we can only hope! :)
 
Hectic Glenns posts give me headaches, so I avoid them :p

Sounds good. I should visit Wired more often
 
I don't think it is osmosis at work. It mentions an ion imbalance and super oxidised water, which suggests to me some sort of acid solution (as oxidised water would be without the protons, leaving an oxygen ion with a 2- charge). But then it talks about it being safe to drink, which wouldn't happen with a very acidic solution.

I don't know, my brain is frazzled from trying to learn respiration :(
 
Marco shut the hell up, seriously, that is so damn old, don't ever say it again.

Too bad viruses aren't even single celled :<
 
Guys, it is not saline solution, although saline solution does have antibacterial properties this is something different.
Oxygen kills bugs, this is how a lot of antibacterial cleaners work, for example sodium chlorate in bleach is an oxidiser, this does the antibacterial part of bleach.

This sounds like a saline solution that is ionised so that the sodium and chlorine are released leaving super oxegenated water (probably using electricity to perform the ion exhange)

The sad thing is i already thought they did this because i had the idea of doing that in my head at least 3 years ago, meh i should have invented it.
 
Im sorry if im missing something but dont we already know salt water helps heal wounds?
 
Ah...but this is Super Water.

Its all in the name. Sure, a man could help save someones life. But only Super Man can do it and fly away in tights un-ashamed of his bulge.
