Abstract

Active breathing mask or its insert, characterized in that an electric or magnetic field is present in the active breathing mask or its insert, which contacts the inhaled or exhaled air and neutralizes foreign bodies contained therein.

Description

The breathing air can contain aerosols with foreign bodies, bacteria, viruses. Many of these contents are harmful to the human body because they can cause diseases even in minute amounts. Most inhaled foreign bodies first settle in the mucous membranes of the nose and sinuses, including possibly several hundred different bacteria and viruses.

It was shown, during the Spanish flu, more than a hundred years ago, that a simple mesh or thread filtration (fabric, non-woven fabric) is not suitable for full protection against these pests. It is also known that one cubic centimeter of air contains (ten to the power of nineteen) trillions of air molecules, with only a few hundred being ionized and therefore powerful bond seekers.

Every day the adult breathes in around twelve thousand liters of air and exhales twelve thousand liters with aerosols and with their solid, liquid and biological contents, some of which are electrically negatively or positively ionized. Air molecules and aerosol particles, which are not neutral, are good carriers for foreign bodies and therefore also for viruses and bacteria. The exhaled air with its water droplets contains the biological substances that have increased in the body. As a result, the sick person increasingly emits viruses into the environment. With the exhaled air, half a liter of water is released into the environment per person per day in the form of droplets.

It is also known that the photons of UV-C radiation with their relatively low energies already have the ability to neutralize or kill bacteria, viruses and some other air pollutants (air disinfection).

The aim of the present invention is to use means and methods that are harmless to humans to neutralize the energies of the pests and pollutants and thereby prevent cell damage.

For example, crystal elements can release electrons when deformed by external mechanical forces. The mask movement as a result of inhaling and exhaling is already sufficient to form the crystal.

This object is solved by claims 1-9. The active mask can generate an electric field if its areas are electrically active.

A full or partial coating with various substances (e.g. carbon, gold, silver, copper, semiconductors, crystals such as pyrite, germanium, plastics, gels) or their alloys or mixtures is suitable for this. The coating can be single or multiple.

An electric field can also be generated in the mask if two or more different elements are applied or inserted directly adjacent to one another and there is a water-absorbing substance in between.

An electric field can also be generated in the mask by a built-in power source (e.g. micro button cell).

In addition to a thread structure, the active layer of the breathing masks can also have a grid shape or a perforated leaf shape. In addition, the active layer may contain an applied powder.
