Questions:
We had contact regarding Aquion years ago. Now I came across your name by chance in connection with hydrogen boosters.
After reading the raum&zeit articles about Brows-Gas, I contacted Mr. Jansen. But this huge expensive device is a bit suspicious to me. There is also a hydrogen booster mini for on the go. On this topic today I came across Green Pearls and Aqua Center and the small inhalation device “Aqua Volta Hydrogen”, which at first impression seemed appealing. What irritates me there is the whirling device that comes with it, which seems to me to be nothing more than a twister that I have been using for years.
I read about the Aqua Volta Hydrogen device that it does not produce Browns gas. But now the question arises, what is the difference between the two gases in terms of the therapeutic effect? Do you have any enlightening information about this?
Today I saw part of your film “History of Drinking Water”. I'll take a look at it completely in the next few days.
I'm a bit irritated that you offer other water equipment there, as is the case at the aqua center. Why not Aquion devices? Are you still affiliated with Aquion or not?
Since I was looking at the Aquion site again after a long time, I had brief contact with Mr. Roettel about the “Light-Washer” which I didn’t know anything about before. If I remember correctly, you are considered my advisor from Aquion. Why am I not informed directly about such changes by you or Aquion? Since when has the light module been around?
As of today, the tones when switching levels on my device can hardly be heard. What does that mean?
And last but not least, please send me the link for the book “Electrically Activated Water”. It's probably no longer available on Amazon.
I would be very happy about a quick answer. In particular, I would probably initially choose a mobile hydrogen booster device. I still need more information about how the Aqua Volta Hydrogen works. Or should I contact Mr. Akgün about this?
Thanks for your support.

Answer:
Hello Mr. B.
nice to hear from you again. Although I have been developing my own brand "Aquavolta" for years, I am actually still a team partner of Aquion and work well with my colleagues Röttel and Heppenheimer. However, the evidence for the claimed advantages of light water is not convincing enough for me to recommend this system. Light can influence water. But water cannot store light. Light off, water effect gone. Infrared light can heat water, that is the only credible effect of light water. But that is easier with an immersion heater etc. And it is not good because heating means hydrogen loss. To your follow-up question about the H2 output of Aquion devices, I can only answer: It depends on the water used. You have to measure this on site with H2 blue drops. With the devices with 5 electrodes, I measured 0,4 mg/l H2 in Munich, with the device with 7 electrodes 0,6 mg/L, each on the highest possible alkaline setting. In general, in terms of hydrogen concentration, it is advisable to consume the water immediately.
Regarding hydrogen tablets: The reaction of metallic magnesium to release hydrogen requires an acidic environment, otherwise it will come to a standstill due to oxidation of the metal. Therefore, the drink made from it does not taste like water, but rather slightly sour. Together with the inherent taste of the magnesium ions produced, this is not for everyone. We had a large number of people test various acid mixtures, which are also used to improve the taste of wine, for months before we found the most acceptable compromise with the Hydronade mix. Some even like it. Others say: I swallow everything for my health. and the hydrogen output of the fizzy tablets is really enormous.
I consider the capsules that dissolve in the stomach to be a dangerous mistake because hydrogen gas is formed in the stomach that is not dissolved in the water and flows quickly into the duodenum and small intestine, where the hydrogen is then absorbed into the blood along with the water can. Hydrogen in significant quantities has no place in the stomach! It is known from several studies that it promotes the growth of Helicobacter pylori, a nasty fellow that we shouldn't feed with its favorite food. I therefore strictly warn against such tablets and consider their distribution to be irresponsible.
The same applies to Brownsgas devices. Browns gas is discussed in alternative medicine. But the scientific evidence is missing here. The ladies and gentlemen who convert Browns gas welding machines into inhalation machines like to cite the many evidence from hydrogen researchers. However, there is not a single scientific study on the use of Brown's gas in medicine. All that is scientifically discussed about hydrogen-oxygen mixtures are mixtures with 2/3 hydrogen and 1/3 oxygen (oxyhydrogen, in German oxyhydrogen). What comes out of a Browns gas device is not pure oxyhydrogen, but contains other components about which there are a number of theories but no consensus.
The converted welding machines work with an electrolyte that does not leave any residue, which can cause chemical burns in the lungs when inhaled. Therefore, it has to be cleaned several times, which sometimes leads to adventurous, amateurish-looking devices that attempt to clean the whole thing using several water baths. At the same time, the Browns gas hobbyists always emphasize the special components of Browns gas that have a superior effect to pure oxyhydrogen, such as plasma-shaped ExW etc. (Which creates a completely absurd situation in such a way that all special features are first filtered out and then are still supposed to be effective . This is somewhat reminiscent of homeopathic high potencies).
The brown gas fans also advertise that hydrogen-rich drinking water can be produced with the residual gas that has been filtered several times by water by bubbling it into water. They claim this, although they themselves admit that the hydrogen richness of the water produced turns out to be very small using the usual measuring reagents (titration with methylene blue reaction). They simply negate the measurement result and claim, without any alternative measurement method, that the water is saturated with H10 after just 2 minutes of bubbling. However, it is completely logical that full saturation of the water with H2 is not possible if O2 is bubbled in at the same time, as these are antagonistic gases. H2 is reducing, O2 is oxidizing. Only by using twice the amount of hydrogen can there be a (low) hydrogen concentration in the water, which can also be measured normally.
In some cases, particularly in the field of intensive care medicine, where the patient is persistently hypoxic and requires ventilation, the use of oxyhydrogen in a concentration less than 4,1% is actually preferable to the use of pure hydrogen gas. At 33,3% O2, oxyhydrogen contains significantly more oxygen than a normal atmosphere at 21%. The most current example is acute lung failure in advanced Covid 19. Here, the Chinese doctors had 2000 new oxyhydrogen generators with a per minute output of 2-3 liters available for treatment. According to the preliminary statistics from Professor Nanshang Zhong, they were significantly more successful than with classic O2 ventilation.
These devices from the Chinese company Asclepius Meditech in Shanghai are currently in high demand and are not yet available in Europe, probably also because they have not yet been approved for clinical use.
The Aquavolta Hydrogen Infuser and Inhaler is a purely home device with 100 ml/min. Hydrogen performance. The 50 ml/min O2 that is produced in a PEM cell (without corrosive electrolyte) cannot be mixed via a separate outlet and simply passes into the atmosphere via the exhaust air at the top.
The Aquavolta Nafion 117 is better equipped to produce oxyhydrogen. It delivers 300 ml/min H2 and 150 ml/min O2, which are available via 2 front outputs. https://www.aquacentrum.de/shop/aquavolta-nafion-117-wasserstoffgenerator-inhalation-wasserstoff-infusion-wasserstofftherapie/
Anyone who sees a need for additional oxygen outside of intensive care medicine and wants to work with oxyhydrogen instead of pure H2 is probably best advised to use this device.
With the hydrogen generators mentioned, fully saturated hydrogen water can best be produced using a swirler, because without one it would take about an hour to reach full saturation with H2. It also works with the twister you mentioned, but much slower than with the swirler of the Aquavolta Hydrogen Infuser. This is due to the design of the vortex blades, which are rounded in the Twister and only create a vortex, but do not cause the hydrogen bubbles to split into nanobubbles. The flat blades of the infuser, on the other hand, create an implosion space on the back, which turns the bubbles into nanobubbles according to the principle of cavitation. It takes 0,4 seconds to fully saturate 90 liters of water, while the Twister takes around 8 minutes.
When it comes to hydrogen water, we actually only talk about full saturation with a pitiful smile, i.e. 1,6 mg/l H2. Significantly more H2 concentration can be built up under pressure. 2,5 mg/l and more are more in demand today. This is done in the PEM-H2 boosters, of which there is now a reasonable selection. https://www.aquacentrum.de/produktkategorie/wasserionisierer/topfionisierer/ However, these are not suitable for ventilation.
