"To experiment, build 2 models, each consisting of a basin with an untreated seawater source, a 5# plastic
soda bottle tunnel perforated with a 9x9 matrix of 1mm-diameter holes on opposing sides of each soda
bottle segment, a condensation container, and tubes to allow effective flow of condensation out of the
systems. Place an electrode into each system and apply a 115-V power supply. Add a magnet stand to the
circumference of one model. The control model will lack a magnet stand and electrodes. Initiate
vaporization with a water heater placed into the untreated seawater source for ten days. Each day, measure
the temperature & observe the external conditions of the models. Analyze the CO2, salt concentration,
chloride content, resistance, & iron content of the untreated seawater before and then the final
condensation after the electromagnetic process"

Instead of seawater we'll be treating wastewater for bacteria.

The experiment is well illustrated in your description. "Prima facia" and "ceteras paribus" one would expect this to work in removing bacteria from water also. However, this may not happen unless the temperature of the untreated sources and the collection devices exceeds 180 deg (which would kill the bacteria anyhow) because the bacteria can migrate through the moisture during the condensate process. This would be an interesting experiment to conduct even if you show this process will not work. Your controls and measurements will need to be done very accurately and with proper scientific discipline. Good luck.
Incidentally, you should differentiate the study for both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria if you do it.
