Physics are laws of nature and have always been with us. Smart people over the years have discovered ways to use these nature's laws and put them to practical use.
Nature has been cleaning and killing germs for aeons - just think of a thunderstorm and the amazing cleaning power produced when rain (water) and lightning (electricity) are combined. The effect of nature's cleaner is apparent, instantaneous and sustainable. Could you imagine the effect on our health and the widespread destruction of the environment if nature sent down chemicals instead of water?
The massive scale of a thunderstorm cannot be matched artificially, but it can be miniaturised. This is the physics behind Activeion technology which is available now to people who are keen to reduce their reliance on, and exposure to, potentially harmful chemicals.

There is a good video explanation of the ionator technology on the "Activeion Videos" page.
Most people"understand" that adding chemicals to water makes water do things like cleaning that it can't do on its own - unfortunately adding many chemicals to water may have a damaging effect on people, pets, produce or the planet (or indeed all four!). It is these avoidable exposures to harmful chemicals that we at Activeion are keen to replace. Let's take a moment to compare some chemical options with physics based options for the same task:
- Note on fridge door Glue (chemistry) Fridge Magnet (physics)
- Kill flies at BBQ Flyspray by food (chemistry) Blue light zapper away from food (physics) NB This physics option also attracts insects away from the food
- General cleaning Chemical sprays (chemistry) ionator from Activeion (physics)
- Sanitize hard surfaces Leave surface wet for 10 minutes sprays (chemical) ionator from Activeion (physics)
Most newcomers to Activeion technology try to compare it with their knowledge of chemicals and wonder how it can work. Most users of Activeion don't care how it works, and are just pleased that it does which allows them to remove lots of harmful chemical sprays from their lives. The chart below summarizes some of the possible implications of exposure to chemicals.
