Magnetic Anti-Atrophy Device "MAAD"

Abstract

My invention utilizes magnetism to generate a force that you can either push or pull between two neodymium electromagnets. With this invention astronauts will be able to utilize this device which uses magnetism to simulate weight. The force these two magnets create that you can push and pull on will be just as viable in space as they were on Earth and depending on how much energy you put into the electromagnets will determine on how much force they push a pull. An example would be an astronaut wanting to lift 100 lbs the magnets would pool at each other to simulate a resistance of 100 lbs. Lastly, it's voice control system like any smart device will allow it to be one of the safest devices they can use considering their voice will be in control of how much resistance and force they're working with.

Claims

1. The purpose of this device which is to use magnetism to create a resistive force astronauts can work against to maintain and increase muscle growth, increasing physical health and limiting muscle atrophy.

2. The process for this device and its functionality, a device capable of using magnetism to mimic the weight one will fell if they were exercising under the influence of gravity. But in space, Magnetic Anti-Atrophy Device “MAAD” will use magnetism to allow astronauts to achieve results relative to those under the influence of gravity.

3. The design and structure of how the device uses magnetism and illustrates how magnetism is used in the device to create a repulsive force by using neodymium electro-magnets.

Description

DESCRIPTIONS OF FIGURES

[0013] FIG. 1: This figure shows the overall structure and design of both devices involving the Magnetic Anti-Atrophy Device “MAAD” being 180 centimeters height, 116 centimeters length and 49 centimeters width. It shows the overall magnetic force that the device is creates at both the top and bottom of the device. FIG. 1 also displays where the device will be controlled from as show in the figure the chair using voice control to vocally control how much repulsive force one wants to work with.

[0014] FIG. 2: This figure involves showing the top half of the device from a side profile perspective being 69 centimeters height, and 49 centimeters width. It demonstrates how the magnetism will be used from an electro-neodymium magnet and how one will push against the repulsive force.

[0015] FIG. 3: This figure shows the bottom half of the overall device from a side profile, including the chair that will be utilized for voice control and the bottom half of the overall “Magnetic Anti-Atrophy Device” being 111 centimeters height and 49 centimeters width. Figure shows how the magnetism will be utilized at the bottom half of the device.
