    "concept_summary": "A large honeycomb-shaped glass/crystal ball (6-12 m diameter) is used to \"charge\" water or saline by placing the liquid inside the ball for a few seconds. The inventor claims the ball restructures the water at the molecular level, removes heavy metals, changes pH, and imparts health-beneficial energy.",
