In the office today we received an unannounced visit from a sales representative wishing to tout a new, non-chemical system to prevent rising dampness in buildings:

As far as I can understand, the purported mechanism is that the centrally located, ceiling-mounted unit usings natural geomagnetic forces and redirects them in some manner to temporarily alter the charge of the hydrogen component of a water molecule such as to reduce capilliary action within masonry elements.
My problem is twofold. Firstly, it has "free energy" written all over it. Secondly, whilst my CSYS chemistry is now a very distant memory I'm pretty sure that it's not particularly easy to change the charge on an atom or molecule, especially using some sort of remote unpowered system.
There is a predictable lack of test data in the literature left with us, although we do have a promise that we will get something emailed to us.
Anyone with a better grasp of physics and chemistry in a position to comment?
