In one view, the electric and magnetic fields alternate sinusoidally with the same frequency, but are out of phase of about 90 degrees so that the combined fields exert a force along an axis perpendicular to the electric field and perpendicular to the magnetic field on mobile charged particles in the treatment zone which is always zero or greater, which force itself sinusoidal changes with exactly twice the frequency the frequency supplied.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION THE INVENTION

The original idea came from the knowledge that with use from single electric or magnetic fields it is very difficult is to sterilize objects such as fruits etc.

For the following description, a rectangular right-handed coordinate system is used accordingly 1

The idea was then to use a combination of electric and magnetic field. This could easily be achieved by using a normal resonant circuit (coil and capacitor) and inserting the capacitor into the coil as in 2 shown.

A Theory was developed in the event that this construction works (can be perpendicular to each other electric and generate magnetic field in the same place with a phase shift of 90 degrees), and that the whole system is placed in vacuum, and that there would be free charged particles (such as electrons) between the plates of capacity.

assuming that the electric field generated by the capacitor plates in parallel to the x-axis, then would be charged particles be accelerated according to the existing laws of electronics also in the x-axis. The resulting speed in parallel to the x-axis would reach its maximum when the electric field Zero would be, so the phase difference between the electric Field and the speed of the charged particle is 90 degrees.

A diagram showing this relationship with relative numbers can be seen in 3 ,

If this electric field is now combined with a magnetic field, so that the magnetic field is a phase shift to the charged particle velocity of 0 degrees (Zero degrees), then the resulting force is perpendicular to the magnetic field and perpendicular to the velocity (vector) is parallel to the z-axis with a size that can be calculated according to existing laws of electronics. The relative magnitude of the force is shown in 4 ,

• a) dass diese Kraft immer größer oder gleich 0 (Null) ist (mit entgegengesetzer Ladung immer kleiner oder gleich 0 (Null) ist), und
• b) sie sinusförmigen Verlauf hat mit einer Frequenz die doppelt so hoch ist wie die Originalfrequenz des elektrischen und magnetischen Feldes.

Now two things are remarkable

• a) that this force is always greater than or equal to 0 (zero) (with opposite charge always less than or equal to 0 (zero)), and
• b) it has a sinusoidal shape with a frequency twice as high as the original frequency of the electric and magnetic field.

The means that charged particles will oscillate on the z-axis with twice the frequency of the original field. But oscillating Particles themselves, known by elementary electronic laws, emit electromagnetic waves at the frequency of oscillation. These should be measurable.

The second is that, assuming that not just loaded Particles of one polarity (eg negative), but instead charged particles with negative and positive charges in the Treatment zone, then becomes a constant mean polarization to be available.

Furthermore, an example calculation was performed with stepwise approximation of the path of an electron in such a polarizing electro-magnetic field in vacuum. The result of the calculation is shown in 5 ,

It reveals that an electron travels between the capacitor plates the x-axis oscillates but is accelerated at the same time in the z-axis in one direction. (The same thing would happen with other charged particles depending on their charge to mass ratio.)

As far as the theory in the vacuum, which also assumes that the movement of the particles in the z-direction is small compared to the movement in the x-direction. Other example calculations that yielded stronger electromagnetic fields and faster charged particle velocities showed cycloidal movements of the charged particles in the approximate calculation, as in 5A shown.

When Another step was that similar things happen could be in materials with moving charged particles. The effect may not be as strong as in a vacuum, but for example in copper, the electrons have a certain amount of free path, before they collide with other particles. There are other materials like semiconductors, where the free path between collisions 100 times longer than in copper. Again some new materials The so-called "nanotubes" should be free path lengths for electrons that are about 1000 times larger are as in copper.

Now the first system (coil with internal plate capacitor as in 2 shown). Using an active standing wave meter (with built-in frequency generator as in 6 was used as a "grid dipper" to find the resonant frequency of the coil with the internal plate capacitor.With an intensive search, no resonance point was found.The SWR value was greater than 10 at all frequencies, which means that no matching with the coupling coil was possible, no effective energy transfer is possible from the coupling coil to the first system.

The new idea was then not to use solid plates for the capacitor, nor to use a single copper wire to connect the coil to the capacitor, but instead use both parallel insulated wires as in 7 shown. This construction will subsequently function as an "applicator" with its treatment zone between the parallel wires acting as a capacitance, which area will hereinafter be referred to as "application space".

Now was the attempt to find the resonance frequency with the help of the active one SWR Messers an immediate success. The measured resonance frequency Fres was 14.9205 Mhz with a SWR value of 1. The frequency values where the SWR value fell to the value 2 was found at 14.9356 and 14.9049 which indicates a bandwidth of about 30 kHz, which in turn is one Quality Score Q of better than 480 means.

The shaped applicator was then used in a measuring setup as in 8th shown.

Either the oscilloscope or the frequency analyzer were connected to terminals A and B in shen 8th ,

The Feeding the applicator with the resonant frequency or nearby the resonance frequency generated on the frequency analyzer, or the Oscilloscope, or radio receiver nothing special.

When the frequency generator was adjusted to half the resonant frequency of the applicator, a secondary frequency appeared on the screen of the frequency analyzer, the sine wave on the oscilloscope deformed, and on the radio a signal appeared that was exactly twice the frequency which the frequency of the SWR meter was tuned to.

This signal with twice the frequency has its maximum strength at half the resonant frequency of the applicator. Nothing was in the applicator, which led to the conclusion that polarizing effects already in the tracks of the capacitance, or in the tracks of the coil, or in the tracks of the connection to the coil. A and B in 8th ,

Dependent from the connections to the coil of the measuring device (with or without a 10 × probe) showed the secondary Frequency a level of more than 10 dB greater was as the signal of the supplied frequency (both signals measured at compounds A and B, and B typically connected with the earth potential.).

The experiment was repeated with an attenuator between uncoil the active SWR meter to make sure that this effect has nothing to do with an overload situation of the SWR meter to do with the SWR meter could cause the generation of harmonics. But even with a damping element of 10 dB was the same Effect observed at a 10 dB lower level. The SWR indicator showed a relatively constant SWR with the attenuator of about 1.2, indicating that no overload situation existed.

• 1. Lebende Feuerameisen wurden in einen kleinen Plastikkontainer gegeben der dann in den Applikations-Raum plaziert wurde. Das aktive SWR Messgerät wurde ersetzt durch einen Frequenzgenerator, einen HF-Verstärker, eine Anpass-Netzwerk (abstimmbares PI-Filter) und ein Wattmeter. Dann wurde ein Leistungspegel von weniger als 10 Watt zum Applikator aufgebracht für etwa 20 Sekunden. Nach dieser Zeit waren alle Feuerameisen angeregt ohne irgendwelche sichtbaren Verbrennungseffekte aufzuweisen. Dieses Experiment wurde wiederholt mit einigen anderen Insekten die das gleiche Ergebnis zeigten.
• 2. Ein handelsüblicher Halbleiter, eine Widerstand mit negativem Temperaturkoeefizent wurde verbunden mit seinen Anschlüssen zum Oszilloskop. Der Halbleiter selbst wurde in den Applikator plaziert, und das aktive SWR Messgerät wurde auf die halbe Resonanzfrequenz des Applikators abgestimmt. Das gemessene Signal auf dem Oszilloskop war nur eine Sinussignal mit der doppelten Frequenz von der zugeführten Frequenz.
• 3. Ein handelsüblicher Halbleiter, ein Photowiderstand, wurde benutzt verbunden mit dem Oszilloskop. Der Photowiderstand wurde in den Applikator eingebracht. Zunächst war die resultierende Spannung am Oszilloskop nahezu Null, aber als die Orientierung des Photowiderstandes um 90 Grad geändert wurde, so dass die Verbindungen des Photowiderstandes auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite der Kondensatorplatten, dann konnte das Signal mit der doppelten Frequenz klar erkannt werden.

Then several experiments were carried out:

• 1. Living Fire Ants were placed in a small plastic container, which was then placed in the application room. The active SWR meter has been replaced by a frequency generator, an RF amplifier, a matching network (tunable PI filter) and a wattmeter. Then a power level of less than 10 watts was applied to the applicator for about 20 seconds. After this time, all the fire ants were energized without showing any visible burn effects. This experiment was repeated with some other insects showing the same result.
• 2. A commercial semiconductor, negative temperature coefficient resistor was connected to its connections to the oscilloscope. The semiconductor itself was placed in the applicator, and the active SWR meter was tuned to half the resonant frequency of the applicator. The measured signal on the oscilloscope was just a sine signal at twice the frequency of the frequency supplied.
• 3. A commercially available semiconductor, a photoresistor, was used connected to the oscilloscope. The photoresistor was placed in the applicator. Initially, the resulting voltage on the oscilloscope was close to zero, but when the orientation of the photoresistor was changed by 90 degrees so that the connections of the photoresistor on the opposite side of the capacitor plates, then the signal could be clearly detected with twice the frequency.

The next question that was posed when field conditions, where the electric and the magnetic field are perpendicular and the phase between the two +90 degrees or -90 degrees can be generated is it possible to create a measuring device specifically reacts, preferably receives under such field conditions.

It is known to be a dipole mainly on electrical Fields responsive, it is also known that magnetic loop antennas (loop antennas) mainly respond to magnetic fields.

By knowing the conditions to create a polarizing field that requires a magnetic field with an electric field that is perpendicular to the same location with a phase shift of +90 degrees or -90 degrees. This leads to an arrangement as in 9 shown.

There This antenna looks like an omega and polarizes it for measurement Field conditions is used, in the following as P-Omega antenna designated.

• 1. Ein Testaufbau benutzte eine Antenne mit etwa folgenden Abmessungen: Durchmesser der Spule etwa 5 inches, Länge eines jeden Dipol-Segmentes etwa 4 inches. Die Antenne wurde dicht an den Applikator gehalten, als die Frequenz des aktiven SWR Messgerätes auf die Hälfte der gemessenen Resonanzfrequenz. Das Oszilloskop verbunden mit der P-Omega Antenne zeigte eine Wellenform von nur der doppelten zugeführten Frequenz. Abhängig vom Ort und der Orientierung der Antenne, schwankte das Signal von 0 (Null) bis zu einem Maximum.
• 2. Eine kleine P-Omega Antenne wurde gebaut, mit Dipol-Segmenten mit einer Länge von jeweils etwa 3 mm und einem Durchmesser von etwa 5 mm. Sie wurde mit einem Oszilloskop verbunden. Die P-Omega Antenne wurde dann in den Applikation-Raum des Applikators plaziert der von dem aktiven SWR Messgeräte gespeist wurde mit einem Signal der halben Resonanzfrequenz des Applikators. Das gemessene Signal zeigte nur die Signal mit der doppelte Frequenz verglichen mit der zuegführten Frequenz, und seine Stärke erreichte ein Maximum, als die Orientierung so war, dass die zwei Spulenachsen (des Applikator Achse und der P-Omega Antennen Spule) in der gleichen Richtung (parallel zu y-Achse) ausgerichtet war, and zu rgleichen Zeit die Dipol Achse parallel zur x-Achse war.
• 3. Die gleiche Antenne wie in 1. wurde in die Nähe eines 2 m Handfunkgerätes gehalten, das ein Signal in Frequenzmodulation von etwa 2 Watt aussendete. Die Anschlüsse der P-Omega Antenne wurden an ein Oszilloskop angeschlossen. Ein Anschluss war mit Masseanschluss des Oszilliskops verbunden durch den Schirm eines kurzen Koaxial-Kabels. Nun konnte beobachtet werden, abhängig vom Ort und der Orientierung der P-Omega Antenne, dass eine Gleichspannung zusätzlich zum doppelten Frequenzsignal erzeugt wurde. Die Gleichspannung war von seinem Wert sogar etwas größer als die Spitze des doppelten Frequenz-Signals. Das doppelte Frequenz-Signal verschob sich auf dem Schirm des Oszilloskopes so viel, abhängig vom Ort und der Orientierung der Antenne dass für einen Ort der Maximum Wert des alternierenden Signals kleiner war als das Minimum des Signals mit der doppelten Frequenz an einem anderen Ort und Orientierung. Damit, nicht nur der indirekte Nachweis durch die Frequenzverdopplung, dies weist nach die Existenz von polarisierende Feldbedingungen und der Existenz von polarisierenden Effekten durch solch polarisiernde Feldbedingungen, durch direkte Gleichspannungs-Messung.

Some experiments were done with the P-Omega antenna.

• 1. A test setup used an antenna of approximately the following dimensions: diameter of the coil about 5 inches, length of each dipole segment about 4 inches. The antenna was held close to the applicator when the frequency of the active SWR meter was at half the measured resonant frequency. The oscilloscope connected to the P-Omega antenna showed a waveform of only twice the supplied frequency. Depending on the location and orientation of the antenna, the signal fluctuated from 0 (zero) to a maximum.
• 2. A small P-Omega antenna was built, with dipole segments each about 3 mm long and about 5 mm in diameter. It was connected to an oscilloscope. The P-Omega antenna was then placed in the applicator room of the applicator fed by the active SWR meter with a signal of half the resonant frequency of the applicator. The measured signal showed only the signal with twice the frequency compared with the applied frequency, and its strength reached a maximum, when the orientation was such that the two coil axes (of the applicator axis and the P-omega antenna coil) were aligned in the same direction (parallel to y-axis) and to equalize Time the dipole axis was parallel to the x-axis.
• 3. The same antenna as in 1. was held close to a 2 m handheld radio that emitted a signal in frequency modulation of about 2 watts. The connections of the P-Omega antenna were connected to an oscilloscope. One port was connected to the ground of the oscilloscope through the shield of a short coaxial cable. Now it could be observed, depending on the location and orientation of the P-Omega antenna, that a DC voltage was generated in addition to the double frequency signal. The DC voltage was even slightly larger in value than the peak of the double frequency signal. The double frequency signal on the screen of the oscilloscope shifted so much, depending on the location and orientation of the antenna, that for one location the maximum value of the alternating signal was less than the minimum of the signal at twice the frequency in another location and orientation , Thus, not only the indirect detection by the frequency doubling, this indicates the existence of polarizing field conditions and the existence of polarizing effects by such polarizing field conditions, by direct dc voltage measurement.

For the moving electromagnetic fields in far field of a sending Antenna, the two field components are also perpendicular, but have in the same place (some fixed point) a phase shift of 180 degrees. This can be expected that radio waves in the far field (typically referenced as a distance larger as 10 to 20 wavelengths) no polarizing field conditions generated.

10 shows a matrix of P-omega antennas that can detect and measure any polarizing field conditions with suitable receivers even when all antennas are stably fixed at a fixed location. The two orientations of the P-Omega antenna, a right-handed version and a left-handed version, are necessary because only polarizing field conditions can be detected / received for a phase shift between the electric field and the magnetic field of +90 degrees. The other one can detect / receive the polarizing conditions for a -90 degree phase shift.

Summary:

method and device for polarizing electromagnetic field conditions and to provide measurement method around polarizing field conditions detect / measure. Applications are based on influencing material containing the mobile charged particle until doubling a signal frequencies without diode or the like to use.
