I spent the weekend working on a new experiment to show at my kids school. Because of my experience with Nuclear Magnetic Resonance I wondered whether or not magnetic seeding of the hydration spheres would facilitate their growth. Using the BEMEWS catalyst and commercial borax as the materials I got spectacular results...but I need to figure out now how to extend the lifetime of the spheres now!

2. The BEMEWS reaction
 Simple kitchen chemistry for spectacular results
 Water
 BORAX laundry detergent
 White vinegar
 Table Salt
 BEMEWS catalyst
 Rare earth magnetic sphere – preferably
samarium-cobalt
 1 minute to prepare + 24 hours of time….

3. Rare-earth magnets
 CHEAP to buy!!!

5. Water Solvation Shell
 Solvation shells support
the ions
 Rare earth magnet ions
(Samarium-Cobalt) both
solvate and magnetically
extend polarized water
chains

7. Dendrimeric Magnetic Centered Seeds
 Water chains grow based on
magnetic centered ions
 Dendrimeric growth is multi-
generational with layered
extension via copper-
catalyzed BORON seeding
 Magnetic centers – boron
enhanced growth of chains

8. Catalyzing the Reaction
 Vinegar (a weak acid)
dissolves the magnetic
surface to produce
magnetic ions

10. The BEMEWS Catalyst
 Copper catalyst assists
dissolution and helps initiate
aggregation
 Simple to synthesize using
household chemicals
 Described in separate video
