What do I need to create water with negatively charged ions?

Re: What do I need to create water with negatively charged ions?

The electricity aligns all the molecules in a very ordered pattern which is what causes the geometric seam pattern when it starts to melt. As for why it prevents bubbles, I'm not entirely sure, but my guess is that it excites the molecules enough to release any air dissolved in the water.

Interestingly enough, water is actually a terrible conductor of electricity. Electrical current jumps through water piggybacking on the various mineral impurities in the water, not the water itself. For that reason, using distilled water might actually work against you if you try to make the water have a negative charge with electricity. The current might not be able to go through the water properly if there's a lack of minerals.

Where's an electrical engineer when I need one!? :/
