Q.01 Does the negative ion count continue to rise as the negative ion generator continues to generate negative ions?
Q.02 What should I check before I purchase a negative ion generator?
Q.03 I have a tourmaline product and measured the negative ion count with an ion counter. No negative ion was detected. Why?
Q.04 Does bamboo charcoal generate negative ions?
Q.05 Why do highly concentrated negative ions almost disappear when they go through a polyester vinyl pipe?
Q.06 What is an ideal negative ion generator?
Q.07 Why do negative ion counts decrease as you go further away from the generator?
Q.08 Negative ion density decreases as you go further away from the negative ion generator. Is there any relation between the distance and the density?
Q.09 What are the differences between tourmaline and other ores which generate negative ions?
Q.10 I heard Monazite emits not only radiation rays but also negative ions. What are the differences between Tourmaline and Monazite?
Q.11 I measured the ion counts generated by my negative ion generator and found the count was higher 10-20 minutes after it was turned on than when just turned on. Why did the count increase?
Q.12 I measured the ion count generated by a negative ion generator and 30,000 (pcs/cc) were detected at 1.8m away from the generator. I am afraid the ion count at 1m can be influenced by winds. Is it possible to calculate the ion count detected at 1.0m?
Q.13 I heard "Negative ion generators that produce positive ions are not good." Why?
Q.14 Does tourmaline has an EMI reduction effect?
Q.15 Does tourmaline generate hydrogen gas in water?
Q.16 Please explain the details about corona discharging.
Q.17 I found a negative ion generator which claims to generate 3,500,000 (pcs/cc) at the blow off point. Does this mean it generates this amount of negative ions every second?
Q.18 Tourmaline has many color variations. Do effects vary depending on the color?
Q.19 I heard some negative ion generators produce ozone. Is there a safety standard?
Q.20 How does tourmaline make water tasty?
Q.21 I have a negative ion generator which employs the electron radiation method. I cannot find any positive effects. How man I make sure that it is generating negative ions?
Q.22 Why do negative ion generators generate far more negative ions than found naturally in the air (e.g. waterfall)?
Q.23 Does wood charcoal generate as many negative ions as a waterfall?
Q.24 Are sizes of negative ions generated by the corona discharging or electron radiation method different from those generated by the water splashing method? Which ions have more positive effects on the human body?
Q.25 Does tourmaline placed in my room make me feel relaxed?
Q.26 I was recommended a negative ion generator which generates 2,000,000(pcs/cc) negative ions. Is it good for home use?
Q.27 How are negative ions generated by the electron radiation method?
Q.28 There is a ceramic product which claims to improve the fuel efficiency of cars. Does this really work?
Q.29 What is the difference between clustered ions and negative ions? The clustered ones seem to work better.
Q.30 Tap water in some areas contains more residual chlorine. Is it harmful to use such water? My generator employs the Lenard method which splashes water in order to generate negative ions.
Q.31 Why do I need a negative ion air purifier?
Q.32 What is the difference between a negative ion air purifier and a standard air purifier?
Q.33 Do negative ion products help control the degree of humidity in the air?
Q.34 Where should I put my negative ion generator for optimum effect?
Q.35 Am I going to see a significant difference on my electric bill if I run a negative ion generator for 24/7?
