Abstract :
The effect of a commercial magnetic water conditioner on the viscosity of a range of aqueous solutions was investigated. In order to measure low viscosities a simple, rolling ball viscometer was constructed. Flight time of the ball was determined by optical sensors and the viscosity computed directly. Significant differences in viscosity were observed in all the magnetically treated solutions except the ion-free milliQ water
