Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a negative ion generator. More specifically, the present invention relates to a negative ion generator obtained by mixing fine powder of tourmaline, which is known as a negative ion generating substance, with fine powder of uranium, radium, or a radium-containing mineral, which is an α-ray or γ-ray generating substance.

2. Description of the Related Art In the air, charged fine particles having a size of about 1 micron to about a molecule exist, and among these, particles having a size of about 10 to 100 molecules are referred to as "small". It is called "ion", and the thing charged negatively in it is called "negative ion". When some kind of energy acts on this negative ion from the outside and the negative electron is peeled off, it changes to a positive ion, and the torn electron is combined with another molecule to generate a new negative ion.

[0003] When a fine water droplet is split in the air, a phenomenon that the water droplet is positively charged and the surrounding air is negatively charged, that is, an ionization phenomenon of air occurs. This phenomenon occurs frequently near waterholes and shores, and these areas generate large amounts of negative ions in the air.
Conventionally, areas such as the periphery of the basin, the shore, and forests are said to have a calm and calm environment, but this is said to be due to the abundance of negative ions.

[0004] By the way, tourmaline, generally are known in the October birthstone, it has a positive polarity and negative polarity in the ore itself as they say the alias and tourmaline, 10 ⁴ ~10 ⁷ V / M electric field. In the stationary state, charged particles in the air adhere and maintain neutralization electrically. However, when some energy, for example, pressure or temperature is applied, electricity (static electricity) is generated around tourmaline and discharge occurs. When this occurs, negative ions are instantaneously generated.

Further, when the tourmaline ore and its powder come into contact with moisture, negative ions are instantaneously discharged from the negative polarity side, and the surrounding moisture causes slight electrolysis,
Molecules of water (H2 O) is a hydrogen ion (H ⁺⁾ and hydroxyl ions (OH ^-) in isolated, hydrogen ions released into the air as a hydrogen gas combined with electrons attracted to the negative polarity side discharge Is done. That is, water becomes weakly alkaline and approaches pH 7.5 without limit. In addition, hydroxyl ion (OH ^-)
Combines with the surrounding water molecules (H2 O), hydroxyl ions having surface activity has a negative charge ^- becomes (H ₃ O _2).

[0006]

By paying attention to the electric properties of tourmaline, fine powder obtained by crushing tourmaline is used as an environmental improvement material such as a water purifying agent or an additive for toothpaste, or a health promoting agent. Attempts have been made. (For example, JP-A-6-86799, JP-A-10-231)
However, if the fine powder of tourmaline is mixed with another material, the tourmaline is buried in the material, making it impossible to make use of the electrical characteristics, and even if the tourmaline appears on the surface, the material has the same properties. When the charging polarity is strong, generation of negative ions from tourmaline is suppressed, and there is a problem that electric characteristics of tourmaline cannot be effectively used.

[0007]

The present invention has been made as a result of intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems. As a result, by mixing tourmaline with a certain stimulant, the activity of tourmaline is activated and the amount of negative ions is increased. In addition, they have been found to occur over a long period of time. Specifically, the present invention relates to a fine powder of tourmaline having a particle size of 50 microns or less and 5 microns or more.
It is characterized by a negative ion generator mixed with a ray or gamma ray generating substance.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
Well-known tourmalines can be used in the present invention. That is, the tourmaline used in the present invention belongs to a complex boron salt mineral containing boron from a taxonomic point of view, and has a specific gravity of 3.0 to 3.3 and a hardness of 7 to 7.
At 7.5 (Mohs hardness), the electrical characteristics include pyroelectricity (pyroelectricity), which generates electricity when heat is applied, and piezoelectricity (piezoelectricity), which generates electricity when pressure is applied. I have. Also, depending on the chemical composition, Shawl (Schor)
l), Elbaite, Drabite (D
rayite), any of which can be used.

This known tourmaline is pulverized by a pulverizer into fine powder of 50 microns or less and 5 microns or more.
If the size of the fine powder is 50 microns or less and 5 microns or more, the electrostatic voltage accumulated in the powder increases, and therefore the amount of negative ions generated when receiving a stimulus such as pressurization from the outside increases. It is. Also, if it is fine powder,
Since it can be applied uniformly and thinly to a woven cloth or paper, it can be used, so that the range of usage can be expanded and the handling can be simplified.

The stimulant used in the present invention may be any substance that activates tourmaline by irradiating α-rays or γ-rays to fine tourmaline powder. Specifically, fine powder of uranium, fine powder of radium contained in the uranium ore, fine powder of mineral ore containing radium, and the like can be used. Radium is a substance contained in uranium ore. Natural radium emits three types of radiation, α-rays, β-rays, and γ-rays, and decay to radon. Radon, as is well known, is a colorless gas that is the last member of the group 0 rare gas elements of the periodic table and emits α-rays and γ-rays. It is the strongest ionizing substance (ionization) among substances existing in nature. ) Is said to have a substance. Mineral ore is a rare element mineral that is distributed in the geological underground layer of the radium hot spring.
The main component is niobium oxide and isotium oxide, and contains radium oxide and the like. Hot water containing this mineral ore is effective for the treatment of neuralgia, rheumatism, etc., has a manufacturing license from the Ministry of Health and Welfare, and the Pharmaceutical Department's approval number (43D)
Licensed as No. 62.

In the present invention, a fine powder obtained by pulverizing the above-mentioned stimulating material to 50 microns or less and 5 microns or more is used. The ratio of the stimulant to be mixed with the tourmaline fine powder varies depending on the use mode of the negative ion generator of the present invention. About 4 weight percent is preferred. In a state where the fine powder of the stimulant is added to the fine powder of tourmaline and mixed, the tourmaline which has been electrically neutralized by adhering the charged particles in the air emits α-rays or β-rays emitted from the stimulant. In response to activation, electrical neutrality collapses and generation of negative ions is promoted.

Since the anion generator of the present invention is a fine powder having a particle size of 50 μm or less and 5 μm or more, it can be used by being thinly adhered to a substrate such as nonwoven fabric or paper. It can also be used as a mixture with cement, paint and other substances, in which case the properties of the mixture will also be obtained. In addition, since the anion generator of the present invention generates a large amount of anions as described above, the anion generator is attached to a portion of the human body having a high electric resistance, which is called an acupoint, to adjust the body fluid to be slightly alkaline, or to cause metabolism. It can also be used as a health-promoting agent that promotes activation, or as an environment-improving agent such as a deodorant and an antibacterial agent.

EXAMPLES Hereinafter, some examples will be described as specific examples of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. Example Each of shawl and a mineral mineral containing 0.59% of radium oxide (manufactured by Nissou Giken Co., Ltd.) was pulverized to prepare a fine powder having a particle diameter of 50 microns. 100 g of the prepared shawl fine powder was mixed with 10 g of mineral mineral fine powder,
The stimulant-mixed powder was measured for the amount of negative ions generated per second using a negative ion measuring device (ion counter SC-50 manufactured by Sigma Techtech). The measurement time was 8 minutes, and the sample was allowed to stand still, and then the generated amount was measured. Fig. 1 shows the measurement result as an ion counter measurement graph.
Shown in

The chemical components of the mineral ore used are as follows. Radium oxide 0.59 Sodium oxide 1.29 Niobium oxide 41.39 Tannin oxide 3.83 Icytium oxide 38.29 Cerium oxide 0.43 Silicic acid 1.64 Iron oxide 1.04 Aluminum oxide 0.55 Titanium oxide 0.19 Calcium oxide 0.17 Manganese oxide 0.10 The unit is percentage.

For comparison, the amount of negative ions generated was measured for 100 g of the above-prepared shawl fine powder by the same method using the above negative ion measuring device. The measurement time was 6 minutes. FIG. 2 shows the measurement result as an ion counter measurement graph. However, at the moment of pressurization 43
There are 50.

As is apparent from these measurement results, the amount of ion generated from the tourmaline / stimulant mixed powder mixed with the stimulant, which was about 800 per CC in the stationary state, was slightly sucked into the atmosphere. The average value per CC is about 8300 and the maximum value is 14
It reached 500. Also, no decrease in the amount of generated ions was observed even after 8 minutes.

On the other hand, with the fine shawl powder alone, negative ions were generated when pressurized, but the amount of generation was small and the maximum value was 4350 per CC.
The average value was also about 900. In addition, even if the generation pattern of the negative ions was observed, the amount of generation decreased rapidly when the pressurization was interrupted.

Although the cause of the tourmaline / stimulant mixture powder according to the present invention generating a large amount of anion continuously and continuously is not clear, α-rays or γ-rays emitted from the stimulant activate tourmaline. It is presumed that this promotes the generation of negative ions.

[0019]

According to the present invention, since a large amount of negative ions can be stably supplied over a long period of time, the range of application as a health promoting agent or an environmental improving agent can be expanded. Further, since negative ions can be generated without power consumption, the generating means is environmentally friendly, safe and easy. In addition, since it is composed of fine powder of 50 microns or less, it can be mixed and used with various materials such as cement, titanium oxide, aluminum oxide, synthetic resin, paints, oils and fats, so that the use form and application range can be expanded. Has the characteristics of various materials.

Further, since it is a fine powder, it can be thinly adhered to a woven cloth or paper and used, so that it is hardly buried in the material and the electrical properties of the generator can always be utilized.
Also, from the stimulus contained in the negative ion generator,
Since α-rays or γ-rays are emitted, the action of activating the body tissue and blood circulation by α-rays, the enzyme SOD (superoxide dismutase) in the pancreas by γ-rays
To simultaneously decompose active acids and lipid peroxides.
