DESCRIPTION

[0120] The main embodiment of an apparatus, resp. method according to the invention is referred to herein as the best mode for carrying out the invention with reference to the drawings. An elemental configuration of the proposed apparatus for the production of electromagnetic radiation is set out hereafter, wherein said configuration of the proposed device is shown in FIG. 2 consisting of a first disc 1 supporting five coils as shown in FIG. 1 a with their centers located on the vertices of a regular pentagon. The wiring 16 of the coils in disc 1 is in series, as shown in FIG. 1. Each coil 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 is connected in series with its immediate opposite 1-1 pair of coils, as shown schematically with a corresponding pentagram representation wherein each coil is located at each top of said pentagram in FIG. 3a, wherein the 5 fold set of coils is connected in series as a pentagram, with said coils located at each vertex of said regular pentagram.

[0121] A second disc 2 supports a corresponding number of magnets 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25 as shown in detail in FIG. 1b, which are oriented similarly to the coils 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 in parallel with said main axis as shown in FIG. 2.

[0122] Said pentagram is shown in detail in FIG. 15, having the appearance of a 5-pointed star. It further shows that inside the pentagram is a pentagon referred to above. The pentagram has a special number hidden inside it corresponding again to the golden ratio, commonly represented by φ, which equals approximately 1,618. In general, two quantities a and b (with a>b) are considered to follow the golden ratio, if the ratio of their sum (a+b) to the largest quantity a is equal to the ratio of the largest quantity a to the smallest b, that is (a+b)/a=a/b=φ as shown in FIG. 15a. In this context, several characteristic length ratios of said pentagram yield said golden ratio commonly represented by φ, such as (a+b)/a=a/b as represented in FIG. 15b. The golden ratio is considered by many architects, designers and artists to produce the most harmonious shape. Accordingly, said golden ratio appears everywhere in the geometric proportions of the universe, from the microcosm to the galaxies and it has been applied in many fields such as geometry, architecture, design and art.

[0123] Said reference to harmony is also associated to nature, wherein features based upon golden ratio but also Fibonacci sequence, are often found. In general, the Fibonacci sequence has as its first two terms 0 and 1, and each subsequent term results from the sum of its two previous terms, such as 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377 . . . . The golden ratio number φ is the limit of the ratio of the n.sup.th term of the Fibonacci sequence to its (n-1) terms, with n.sup.th term tending to infinity. In certain objects of nature, spirals can be observed involving said golden ratio. So does the so-called gold spiral which is encompassed in a rectangle, the proportions whereof correspond to the golden ratio based upon all these special properties thereof, both in nature but also in geometry, architecture, art and design, especially in relation to harmony, in association with the special relationship thereof with Fibonacci numbers. All this background was taken as an incentive to transpose to the electromagnetic radiation wave being generated and distributed in space, as well as its repetition symmetry, thus founding the special feature of the generated electromagnetic radiation originating from the apparatus according to the invention.

[0124] The basis of the above-mentioned transposition as set out above, was further drawn from the observation that a similar transposition and interpretation is currently accomplished in a totally different field of finance in the technical analysis of financial markets where a so-called tool of Fibonacci retracement is commonly practiced.

[0125] Back to nature again, more particularly with regard to the leaves of plants referred to in the background section, it was established that the leaves of a plant also develop according to a spiral to fulfill various functions with the aim of enhancing protection of all the leaves of the plant or to optimize its arrangement for optimizing rainwater adduction, all this again thanks to a suitable spiral arrangement of the leaves.

[0126] Based upon the above-mentioned property of the golden ratio φ that it equals the ratio between a diagonal of a pentagon and a side thereof, this was a basis to arrange a connection set-up of coils arranged according to a pentagon according to the invention.

[0127] This may be realized using the geometric shape of the regular pentagon, shown in FIG. 15b, where its diagonals intersect in sections that have a ratio equal to the golden ratio. When a vector quantity, such as the electromagnetic radiation signal s.sub.μ, passes through the pentagram in order to return to its original position as shown in FIG. 15c, it must be rotated by a total of 5×144° which is equal to 720° , i.e. in two cycles of 2×360° or else 2×2kπ=4kπ. Hence, in this way, the electromagnetic radiation signal repetition symmetry generated from a regular pentagram i.e. 4*kπ is interrelated with the most important irregular number found in nature, i.e. the golden ratio φ.

[0128] To summarize, this golden ratio is thus used as a foundation of the 5-fold structures incorporated in the apparatus according to the invention for yielding the electromagnetic signal with its unique radiation pattern and repetition symmetry, in that it has shown to be surprisingly efficient in several applications set out hereafter. Likewise for regular quintuple polygons with 15 . . . or even more k times five, were k is a natural number or possible 10 for any regular polygon having k times five vertices, respectively.

[0129] Said magnets 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25 are advantageously made—at least in part—from neodymium due to its higher strength.

[0130] The production of electromagnetic radiation from a first proposed elemental configuration is set out hereafter. In the elemental arrangement of the apparatus, said first and second discs 1, 2 are positioned opposite to each other mutually parallel at a short distance d and they are rotated independently on the same axis passing through their respective centers, as shown in FIG. 2. When said first and second discs 1, resp. 2, are mutually rotated causing a relative rotational motion thereof, an electromagnetic radiation is generated, the frequency v of which depends on the relative angular velocity Δω=ω1−ω2 of the two discs 1, 2. The power of electromagnetic radiation depends mainly on the relative angular velocity of the two discs, the characteristics of the magnets-coils and the distance between the coils-magnets.

[0131] The special feature of the electromagnetic radiation generated by the proposed device resides in its specific diffusion and particular distribution in space, as well as its remarkable repetition symmetry, which is 4*kπ wherein k is a natural number, 1 in the case considered as represented in FIG. 1 and following. The way in which the electromagnetic radiation wave is typically generated and distributed in space is especially related to the most important irrational number found in nature that is the golden ratio number φ, which exist in the geometric proportion of the regular pentagon shown in FIG. 3a, resp. 3b, or the Fibonacci sequence respectively.

[0132] Accordingly, the following integrated devices are proposed based on the above described elemental configuration, wherein two different configurations of devices 100, 110 are proposed depending on the applications in which they are to be used and their integration into the corresponding industrial production line. This allows to use the most suitable configuration among both types available 100 or 110 respectively.

[0133] A first type of devices is based on the elemental arrangement shown in FIG. 7 including said discs 1, 2, which are formed with the combination of e.g. five coils 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 and an equal number of magnets 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25. FIGS. 5a & 5b show schematically said discs 1, 2, their combination in FIG. 6, as well as their arrangement in the proposed type of electromagnetic radiation generator 90 in FIG. 7. The relative rotation of said discs in this class of devices is generated by electric motors 51, 52 which are controlled by electronic rotation control devices 55, shown in FIG. 9.

[0134] This first type of devices 100 may be used in two ways: with suitable containers 91, 92 including the fluid therein, such as water or with ready-packed products containing said fluid(s), which are placed on the upper surface 39 of the device 100 in a static position. The product, especially the fluid, is then exposed to the generated electromagnetic radiation as shown in FIG. 10.

[0135] A special component 30 designated as a of the apparatus is shown in FIG. 11b. It is placed on top of the proposed structure, in which the fluid is passed through as shown in FIG. 11a. In this case the dynamic exposure of fluid in the generated electromagnetic radiation is regulated by the selected flow of fluid. The exposure time, hence, is dependent on the selected fluid flow rate, and can be regulated by varying the input fluid flow rate.

[0136] A second type of device 110 is based on the previously described elemental configuration in that it is also constructed with the combination of 5*k coils 11′, 12′, 13′, 14′, 15′, and an equal number of magnets 21′, 22′, 23′, 24′, 25′. FIGS. 12a & 12b show: i) the two sides (up and down) resp. of disc 1′ along with the wiring 16′ of the coils 11′, . . . and the holes 60 in that through which the fluid is passed, and FIG. 12c shows ii) the sides up of disc 2′, and FIG. 12d iii) their combination in this proposed second type device 110.

[0137] According to the operating principle of the proposed apparatus, the rotation of disc 1′ is automatically triggered by the flow of fluid, which is channeled through its structure. The energy required to rotate disc 1′ is derived from the kinetic energy of the liquid, as it passes through properly shaped apertures 40, 60, depending on its viscosity.

[0138] FIG. 12 illustrates such an alternative structure of device 110 including discs 1′, 2′ for this class of devices 110, and how it is connected to the fluid flow network by means of an adapted input duct 111 through which the fluid is fed to the device 110 and an output duct 112 supplying treated fluid. These holes are mandatory only for the type 110. For 100, the discs do not have holes, since their rotation occurs from an external and as described electric motor.

[0139] The mechanism by which the apparatus functions is enlightened on the basis of the theory of quantum electrodynamics. In general, quantum electrodynamic theory deals with the manner in which electromagnetic fields interact with atoms and molecules, as well as the resultant interactions between molecules. The theory of quantum electrodynamics is, in part, based on the relation between the energy of a quantum of light, the photon, and the frequency of any electromagnetic field corresponding to it. In applying quantum electrodynamics to the present electromagnetic system of apparatus and method, it is assumed that dynamic electromagnetic fields are known to interact with the various charged particles which form constituents of atoms and molecules, i.e. electrons. As a result, the external application of an electromagnetic field will bring about various disruptions of the internal fields which are responsible for the particular atomic or molecular structure and the interrelationships of the charged particles therein.

[0140] The exact mechanism of the effect of electromagnetic field on water or other fluids is still unclear though. However, according to several research groups, electromagnetic or magnetic treatment of water affects the behavior of inorganic and organic materials in it, including crystallization and biological processes. By electromagnetizing water, its molecules line up in a “+−+−” sequence. This process changes fluid's properties, notably by decreasing its surface tension and viscosity, increasing dissolvability, increasing permeability and oxygen content.

[0141] Thus, depending on the atomic or molecular matter present, e.g. of extraneous polluting matter in a liquid to be treated, i.e. purified, the energy absorption/emission characteristics of a solution will depend basically on the frequency of the external electromagnetic field applied. This illustrates the important role of said frequency, since by playing thereon based upon a suitable setting of the associated parameters mentioned above, one is enabled to impact on said energy characteristics of said solution, thereby improving the aforementioned associated applications accordingly.

[0142] Strikingly, the utilization of the proposed electro-magnetized water, resp. fluid treatment method and the proposed apparatus incorporating the unique spreading and distribution of electromagnetic field in space, with its unique repetition symmetry, pointedly results in a remarkable improvement in several fields of applications, as depicted in the following examples but not limited thereto.

EXAMPLE 1

[0143] The proposed method and apparatus for the electromagnetic treatment of water or other fluid was tested in the growth rate of bean seeds. Specifically, the growth rate of bean seeds was watered daily either with a small amount of electromagnetically treated water designated as “φ-water” by reference to the key role of the golden ratio being associated to pentagonal like design of the electromagnetic array arrangements of the invention, or with the same amount of water without being subjected to the proposed electromagnetic field designated as “c-water”, and compared.

[0144] Results are presented in FIG. 14 and they show that beans being subjected to “φ-water” revealed a growth rate for several days which is at least 25%-30% greater compared to that of seeds watered with exactly the same amount of untreated “c-water”, which is visible at several stages after 5 days, 10 days and 15 days respectively.

EXAMPLE 2

[0145] Additionally, the proposed method and apparatus for the electromagnetic treatment of water or other fluids was also tested with regard to the population growth rate of Chlorella vulgaris microbes.

[0146] On the basis of the culture growth curves presented in FIG. 13, a positive effect of electromagnetic irradiation of the aqueous solution with the nutrient medium is observed before inoculation with Chlorella vulgaris cells resp. microbes. The positive effect of the irradiated water “ϕ-water” results in an additional increase in biomass production of about 15%-20% compared to the control cultures in which the untreated water “c-water” was used.

[0147] The proposed electromagnetic treatment method of fluids and device may be applied in several application areas, examples of which include farming and agricultural applications, industrial applications, i.e. reduction—or even elimination—of scaling salts and corrosion in industrial water facilitating systems, environmental and household uses, such as in sewage systems and in restoring house plumbing, mammal health and cattle-breeding, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and others, without being limited thereto.
