Blueprint for Designing an Air-Free Fluid Jet Potentiser

Summary

The proposed fluid jet potentiser is designed to eliminate three persistent drawbacks of the conventional liquid potency making process. It eliminates the need for the container to be shaken, the need for headspace air over the fluid medium and, most importantly, it prevents an admixture of gases with the dilutions being prepared. The headspace gases may interfere with the purity of the potencies by undergoing potentisation themselves. The dilutions are made to agitate with a fluid jet inside a completely filled air-free stationary potentising chamber. It operates on a unique principle of a closed-loop system of single bore countercurrent turbulent fluid flow. The new process is expected to produce exclusive medicine specific “clean homeopathic potencies” by complete elimination of headspace gases. The expected flow patterns were demonstrated in a laboratory setup using a coloured solution.
