DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] A method for producing a material activation material according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described below. Note that the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment, and can be practiced with appropriate modifications within the scope of the object of the present invention. The method for producing a material activation material according to the first embodiment of the present invention is a method for forming a material activation material having fluidity by mixing and stirring a powder of a natural mineral containing a radioactive substance, a powder of an electron-generating material that generates electrons by alpha rays emitted from the natural mineral, and a dry fluid binder. Needless to say, the powder of the natural mineral, the powder of the electron-generating material, and the dry fluid binder are uniformly mixed together.

[0014] Natural minerals containing radioactive substances are not particularly limited, and examples thereof include radium ore, beitouite, Bad Gastein ore, monazite, phosphate rock, columbite, tantalite, strobelite, pyrochlore, bastnaesite, cerium concentrate, zircon, gumstone, davidite, brannerite, uraninite (pitchblende), ningyoite, uraninite, carnotite, tsjamunite, metachamunite, chayamunite, schrekingelite, zirkelite, xenotime, trogomite, oerite, bakhanite, kaltenite, tungstite, botrylite, brockite, uranophene, gentianite, coffinite, uranium thorite, uranium botrylite, thorite, and fransevilleite.

[0015] Furthermore, as an electron generating material that generates electrons by alpha rays emitted from natural minerals, for example, titanium dioxide (TiO2) powder can be used.

[0016] Furthermore, the lower limit of the natural ore content is not particularly limited, as long as it can generate a sufficient amount of alpha rays to activate the substance to be activated. The lower limit of the natural ore content is preferably 0.01 parts by mass or more, more preferably 0.1 parts by mass or more, and particularly preferably 1 part by mass or more, per 100 parts by mass of the substance activation material. The upper limit of the natural ore content is not particularly limited, as long as it can keep the radiation dose generated to 0.2 μSv / h or less. The upper limit of the natural ore content is preferably 90 parts by mass or less, more preferably 85 parts by mass or less, and particularly preferably 80 parts by mass or less, per 100 parts by mass of the substance activation material.

[0017] Furthermore, the content of the electron generating material, which generates electrons in response to alpha rays emitted from natural minerals, is preferably set to a content that maximizes the ionization effect of alpha rays. In particular, the content of titanium dioxide contained in the electron generating material of the present invention is preferably set to, for example, 1 part by mass or more and 15 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the material activation material. Furthermore, the material activation material of the present invention may be configured to contain, as the electron generating material, at least one powder selected from lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6), black silica, tungsten, metallic silicon, molybdenum disulfide, metallic germanium, gallium nitride (GaN), tourmaline, boron, and boron compounds, in addition to titanium dioxide powder. Here, the content of lanthanum hexaboride is preferably set to 0.5 parts by mass or more and 5 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the material activation material. Furthermore, the content of black silica is preferably set to 1 part by mass or more and 5 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the material activation material. The tungsten content is preferably set to 0.1 to 0.5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the material activation material, and the metallic silicon content is preferably set to 2 to 5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the material activation material. The molybdenum disulfide content is preferably set to 2 to 5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the material activation material, and the metallic germanium content is preferably set to 2 to 5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the material activation material. The gallium nitride (GaN) content is preferably set to 0.8 to 2 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the material activation material, and the tourmaline content is preferably set to 2 to 10 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the material activation material. The content of boron is preferably set to 0.8 parts by mass or more and 2 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the substance activating material, and the content of the boron compound is preferably set to 0.8 parts by mass or more and 2 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the substance activating material. An example of the boron compound is disodium octaborate tetrahydrate.

[0018] Furthermore, the smaller the average particle size of the powder of natural minerals used, the greater the effect. For example, it is preferably set to 200 μm or less, more preferably to 100 μm or less, and even more preferably to 10 μm or less. Similarly, the smaller the average particle size of the powder of electron-generating material, the greater the effect. For example, it is preferably set to 200 μm or less, more preferably to 100 μm or less, and even more preferably to 10 μm or less.

[0019] Furthermore, the electron-generating material may be configured to contain metallic magnesium powder in addition to titanium dioxide powder. The average particle diameter of the metallic magnesium powder is preferably set to 0.3 mm to 1.5 mm, and more preferably set to 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm. The content of the metallic magnesium powder is preferably set to 15 parts by mass to 35 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the material activation material, and particularly preferably set to 20 parts by mass to 30 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the material activation material. Furthermore, by setting the average particle diameter of the metallic magnesium powder to be significantly larger than the average particle diameter of the electron-generating material powder, a significantly larger amount of natural mineral powder comes into contact with each magnesium metal powder, enabling the emission of even greater amounts of electrons.

[0020] Furthermore, the electron generating material may be configured to contain copper powder in addition to titanium dioxide powder. The copper powder is preferably formed in a flake shape. The average particle diameter of the copper powder is preferably 10 μm or less, more preferably 1 μm or less. Copper powder has high conductivity, which enables efficient external propagation. The content of copper powder is preferably set to 1 part by mass or more and 4 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the substance activating material.

[0021] The electron generating material may also include, in addition to titanium dioxide powder, powder of copper powder with silver plating on its surface (silver-plated copper powder). The silver-plated copper powder is preferably formed in a flake shape. The average particle diameter of the silver-plated copper powder is preferably 10 μm or less, more preferably 1 μm or less. The silver-plated copper powder also emits electrons due to the bonding of dissimilar metals, silver and copper, further increasing the amount of emitted electrons. Furthermore, the silver-plated copper powder has excellent conductivity, allowing electrons generated inside the electron generating material 52 to be efficiently propagated to the outside. The content of the silver-plated copper powder is preferably set to 5 to 20 parts by mass, and more preferably 8 to 14 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the substance activating material.

[0022] The electron generating material may be configured to contain silver powder in addition to titanium dioxide powder. The silver powder is preferably formed in a flake shape. The average particle size of the silver powder is preferably 10 μm or less, and more preferably 1 μm or less. Silver powder has excellent conductivity, which allows electrons generated inside the electron generating material 52 to be efficiently propagated to the outside. The content of silver powder is preferably set to 8 parts by mass or more and 12 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the substance activating material.

[0023] Furthermore, the material activation material according to the present invention may be configured to further contain a powder of a conductive carbon material such as graphite. The average particle size of this carbon material powder is preferably 10 μm or less, more preferably 1 μm or less. The content of the carbon material powder is preferably set to 1 part by mass or more and 5 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the material activation material. By further containing such a powder of a conductive carbon material, the conductivity is further improved, allowing electrons to be efficiently propagated to the outside.

[0024] The fluid binder is a dry binder that dries naturally, and various materials can be used. For example, various binders such as acrylic resin binders, polycarbonate resin binders, and polyester resin binders can be used. Forming the material activation material by mixing the fluid binder allows the natural mineral powder and electron-generating material powder contained in the material activation material to be uniformly dispersed. When a dry fluid binder is used, for example, the fluid material activation material is poured into a predetermined mold and then dried, which volatilizes the solvent contained in the fluid binder. As a result, the material activation material can be molded and solidified into a desired shape. Furthermore, a material activation member that emits electrons can be formed without using a mold by applying the fluid binder to a predetermined thickness, for example, on the top surface of an electrode plate or a material activation target, and then drying.

[0025] Furthermore, it is more preferable to use a conductive fluid binder as the dry fluid binder. For example, a solvent that volatilizes by natural drying can be used as the fluid binder, and a powder of a metal material can be mixed with this solvent. The average particle size of the powder of the metal material contained in the fluid binder is preferably 200 μm or less.

[0026] The content of the fluid binder is preferably, for example, 50 to 75 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the substance activation material. When a dry fluid binder is used, the content is not particularly limited to the above numerical range, as long as it can maintain the shape when the solvent evaporates and the material activating material is dried, for example, the shape of the material activating material in a dry state when the material activating material is applied and dried, or the shape of the material activating material when the material activating material is poured into a predetermined mold and then dried to form the desired shape.

[0027] Furthermore, with regard to the flowable binder, the higher the concentration of the metal powder, the better. When a dry flowable binder is used, the content should be such that the shape of the binder can be maintained after the solvent has evaporated and the binder has dried, for example, the shape of the binder in the dried state when a flowable substance activation material is applied and dried, or the shape of the binder when the flowable substance activation material is poured into a predetermined mold and then dried to form the desired shape.

[0028] Here, the conductive metal material contained in the flowable binder is preferably at least one selected from zinc, molybdenum disulfide, and copper. A suitable example of a flowable binder containing zinc powder is a cold-plate coating material containing zinc. This cold-plate coating material contains a solvent that volatilizes at room temperature, and the zinc solidifies after volatilization, making it suitable for molding and firmly solidifying a material activation material into a desired shape. Furthermore, zinc is a substance that generates electrons in response to alpha rays emitted from natural minerals. Therefore, when a material activation material is molded and solidified into a material activation member, electrons are also generated from the titanium dioxide and zinc due to alpha rays emitted from the natural minerals, resulting in an increased amount of emitted electrons. Furthermore, zinc's electrical conductivity allows electrons generated inside the material activation member to be efficiently propagated to the outside of the material activation member.

[0029] Next, a method for producing a substance activation material according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Note that the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment in any way, and can be carried out with appropriate modifications within the scope of the object of the present invention. The method for producing a substance activation material according to the second embodiment of the present invention is a method for forming a substance activation material having fluidity by mixing and stirring a powder of a natural mineral containing a radioactive substance, a powder of an electron-generating material that generates electrons by alpha rays emitted from the natural mineral, and a non-drying fluid binder. Needless to say, the powder of the natural mineral, the powder of the electron-generating material, and the non-drying fluid binder are uniformly mixed together.

[0030] Here, the natural minerals and electron-generating substances contained in the substance activation material of the second embodiment can be the same as those described in the manufacturing method of the substance activation material of the first embodiment above, so detailed explanations will be omitted.

[0031] The fluid binder used in the method for producing a material activation material according to the second embodiment has non-drying properties and does not dry naturally. Various non-drying oils, such as non-drying grease, can be used as the fluid binder. By mixing the fluid binder to form the material activation material, the powder of the natural mineral and the powder of the electron-generating material contained in the material activation material can be maintained in a uniformly dispersed state. When a non-drying fluid binder is used, the material activation material does not dry naturally and can be configured to always maintain fluidity. For example, the material can be attached to the tip of a screw fastener that is detached.

[0032] Furthermore, in the method for producing a substance activation material according to the second embodiment, it is more preferable to use a conductive fluid binder as the non-drying fluid binder. For example, such a fluid binder can be prepared by mixing a powder of a metal material with a non-drying oil such as non-drying grease as a solvent. The average particle size of the powder of the metal material contained in the fluid binder is preferably 200 μm or less.

[0033] Here, as in the manufacturing method of the substance activation material according to the first embodiment, the metal material contained in the fluid binder is preferably at least one selected from zinc, molybdenum disulfide, and copper. Furthermore, a suitable example of a fluid binder containing molybdenum disulfide powder is molybdenum disulfide grease. Since this molybdenum disulfide grease is a mixture of the non-drying grease and molybdenum disulfide powder, the fluidity of the substance activation material is maintained without natural drying. Copper grease, which is a mixture of non-drying grease and copper powder, can also be used.

[0034] The content of the fluid binder is preferably, for example, 50 to 75 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the substance activation material. When a dry fluid binder is used, the content is not particularly limited to the above numerical range, as long as it can maintain the shape when the solvent evaporates and the material activating material is dried, for example, the shape of the material activating material in a dry state when the material activating material is applied and dried, or the shape of the material activating material when the material activating material is poured into a predetermined mold and then dried to form the desired shape.

[0035] In addition, with regard to the fluid binder, the higher the concentration of the metal powder, the better. When a non-drying fluid binder is used, the content is not particularly limited as long as the substance activating material has fluidity.

[0036] According to this method for producing a substance activating material, it is possible to very simply produce a substance activating material that can exert an even greater substance activating effect.

[0037] Next, a first manufacturing method of the material activating member of the present invention will be described. Note that the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and can be implemented with appropriate modifications within the scope of the object of the present invention. As shown in the block diagram of Figure 1, this first manufacturing method of the material activating member includes a material activating material forming step S11, a mold inserting step S12, and a drying step S13.

[0038] The material activation material formation step S11 is a process for forming the material activation material described above, which is a process for mixing and stirring a powder of a natural mineral containing a radioactive substance, a powder of an electron generating material that generates electrons by alpha rays emitted from the natural mineral, and a dry fluid binder to form a fluid material activation material.

[0039] Here, it is more preferable to use a conductive fluid binder as the fluid binder used in the substance activation material formation step S11.As a conductive dry fluid binder, it is particularly preferable to use a room temperature plating solution containing zinc.

[0040] The mold casting step S12 is a process of casting a fluid substance activating material into a mold of a predetermined shape. The shape of the mold is not particularly limited, and various types can be used.

[0041] The drying step S13 is a process of drying the active material placed in the mold. In this drying step S13, the active material may be dried naturally or may be dried by heating.

[0042] After the drying step S13 is completed, the dried and molded substance activator is removed from the mold, completing the substance activator. By connecting an electrode to this substance activator, electrons generated by the substance activator can be efficiently transmitted to the substance activation target. While the material for forming the electrode is not particularly limited, it is preferable to use a material with high electrical conductivity, such as copper, silver, or gold, and copper is more preferable from a cost perspective. Furthermore, the method for connecting the substance activator and the electrode is not particularly limited. For example, they may be connected via a conductive adhesive, or they may be connected by simply placing the substance activator on a plate-shaped electrode and bringing them into contact.

[0043] If necessary, a compression molding step may be included as a subsequent step to the drying step S13, in which the substance activation material placed in the mold is compressed and molded. Furthermore, when a compression molding step is included, it is preferable to semi-dry the substance activation material in the mold in the drying step S13 to a degree that allows the substance activation material to be deformed during the compression process, rather than completely drying it.

[0044] According to this first method for producing a substance activating member, it becomes possible to produce in an extremely simple manner a substance activating member in various forms that can exert an even greater substance activating effect.

[0045] Next, a second method for manufacturing a material activating member of the present invention will be described. Note that the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and can be implemented with appropriate modifications within the scope of the object of the present invention. This second method for manufacturing a material activating member is a method for manufacturing a material activating member that can effectively propagate electrons generated by utilizing magnetic field lines to a material activation target, and as shown in the block diagram of Figure 2, includes a material activating material forming step S21 and a material activating member filling step S22.

[0046] The material activation material formation step S21 is a process for forming the material activation material described above, which is a process for mixing and stirring a powder of a natural mineral containing a radioactive substance, a powder of an electron generating material that generates electrons by alpha rays emitted from the natural mineral, and a fluid binder to form a fluid material activation material.

[0047] The material activating member filling step S22 is a process of filling a cylindrical magnet body with a north pole at one end and a south pole at the other end with a fluid material activating material, and upon completion of this process, the material activating member is completed. The outer shape of the magnet body is not particularly limited as long as it is cylindrical, and various shapes such as a cylindrical or rectangular tube can be used.

[0048] Here, it is more preferable to use a conductive fluid binder as the fluid binder used in the material activation material forming step S21. The fluid binder may be either dry or non-drying. When using a dry fluid binder, it is preferable to use a room-temperature plating solution containing zinc. When using a dry fluid binder, it is preferable to provide a drying step, which is a process for drying the material activation material poured into the cylindrical magnet body, as a post-process of the material activation member filling step S22. In this drying step, the material may be dried naturally or by heating.

[0049] According to this second method for producing a substance activating member, it is possible to simply produce a substance activating member that can exert an even greater substance activating effect.

[0050] Furthermore, by connecting an electrode to the material activating member manufactured in this manner, electrons generated by the material activating member can be efficiently transmitted to the material activation target. While the material from which the electrode is formed is not particularly limited, it is preferable to use a material with high electrical conductivity, such as copper, silver, or gold, and copper is more preferable from a cost perspective. Furthermore, the method of connecting the material activating member and the electrode is not particularly limited. For example, they may be connected via a conductive adhesive, or they may simply be connected by placing the material activating member on a plate-shaped electrode and bringing them into contact.

[0051] Furthermore, the electrode unit is not particularly limited as long as it is configured to connect to the magnetic body, but it is preferable that the electrode unit be connected to one end of the cylindrical magnetic body, which is the N-pole side, and it is particularly preferable that the electrode unit be configured as a plate electrode 2 that connects to the entire end face of one end, which is the N-pole side of the magnetic body 1, and closes the opening on one end of the cylindrical magnetic body 1, as shown in the schematic cross-sectional view of Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, which is a plan view seen from the direction of arrow A in Fig. 3. Furthermore, it is more preferable that the plate electrode 2 be formed to have an area larger than the area enclosed by the outer circumferential outline of one end of the cylindrical magnetic body.

[0052] In this way, the material activation member formed by filling the inside of a cylindrical magnet body 1 with a material activation material allows the electrons generated in the material activation material to move at high speed due to the magnetic field lines of the magnet body 1, and the direction of their movement is controlled by the magnetic field lines, making it possible to propagate electrons to the material activation target at high speed.

[0053] Furthermore, since the magnetic field lines of the magnet body exit from the north pole side and enter the south pole side, as shown in Figure 5, connecting an electrode to the north pole end allows generated electrons to be efficiently guided to the electrode and propagated to the material activation target. In particular, using a plate electrode 2 connected to the entire end face of the north pole end of the magnet body 1, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, is preferable from the perspective of efficiently propagating electrons generated from the material activation material filled inside the cylindrical magnet body to the material activation target. Furthermore, by forming the plate electrode 2 so that its area is larger than the area enclosed by the outer periphery of one end of the cylindrical magnet body 1, electrons moving along the magnetic field lines formed outside the magnet body 1 can be propagated to the material activation target via the plate electrode. In other words, electrons emitted toward the outside of the magnet body 1 can be efficiently propagated to the material activation target.

[0054] Furthermore, as shown in the schematic cross-sectional view of FIG. 6, the second manufacturing method may further include an insulating member coating step in which the side portion and the other end of the magnet body 1 are coated with an insulating member 3. The material from which the insulating member 3 is formed is not particularly limited, and commonly known insulating materials can be used. The insulating member 3 may be removable, such as a rubber cap, or may be fixed to the surface of the magnet body 1 with an insulating resin material so that it cannot be removed. By providing such an insulating member 3, electrons generated from the material activation material filled inside the cylindrical magnet body 1 can be effectively prevented from being emitted outside the material activation member, and the generated electrons can be effectively propagated toward the material activation target.

[0055] If necessary, the method may be configured to include a compression step in which the filled material activation material is compressed after filling the interior of the cylindrical magnet body 1 with the material activating material in the material activating material filling step S22. This compression step can be performed using various conventionally known pressing devices. Furthermore, when a compression step is included, if a dry fluid binder is used as the material activating material and a drying step is provided after the material activating material filling step S22 to dry the material activating material poured into the cylindrical magnet body 1, it is preferable to semi-dry the material activating material in the cylindrical magnet body 1 in this drying step, so that the material activating material can be deformed during the compression process, rather than completely drying it.

[0056] Furthermore, a third manufacturing method for a material activating member of the present invention will be described. Note that the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and can be implemented with appropriate modifications within the scope of the object of the present invention. Like the second manufacturing method, this third manufacturing method for a material activating member is also a manufacturing method for a material activating member that can effectively propagate generated electrons to a material activation target by utilizing magnetic field lines, and as shown in the block diagram of Figure 7, it includes a material activating material forming step S31, a mold insertion step S32, a drying step S33, and a magnetization step S34.

[0057] The material activation material formation step S31 is a process of mixing and stirring a powder of natural minerals containing the above-mentioned radioactive substances, a powder of electron generating material that generates electrons by alpha rays emitted from the natural minerals, a powder of ferrite magnet raw material, and a dry fluid binder to form a fluid material activation material.

[0058] Here, it is more preferable to use a conductive fluid binder as the fluid binder used in the substance activation material formation step S31. As the conductive dry fluid binder, it is particularly preferable to use a room temperature plating solution containing zinc.

[0059] The mold casting step S32 is a process of casting a fluid substance activating material into a mold of a predetermined shape. The shape of the mold is not particularly limited, and various types can be used.

[0060] The drying step S33 is a process for drying the active ingredient placed in the mold. In this drying step S33, the active ingredient may be dried naturally or may be dried by heating.

[0061] The magnetization step S34 is a process of magnetizing the dried substance activation material, and the magnetization method is not particularly limited, and any conventionally known method can be used. Note that it is preferable to magnetize the dried substance activation material after removing it from the mold.

[0062] If necessary, a compression step may be provided between the drying step S33 and the magnetizing step S34, in which the substance activation material placed in the mold is compressed and molded. This compression step can be performed using various conventionally known press devices. Furthermore, when the compression step is provided, it is preferable to semi-dry the substance activation material in the mold in the drying step S33 to such an extent that the substance activation material can be deformed during the compression process, rather than completely drying it.

[0063] Completion of the magnetization step S34 completes the production of a substance activating member. By connecting the electrode unit described above to this substance activating member, electrons generated by the substance activating member can be efficiently transmitted to the substance activation target.

[0064] The material activation material produced in this manner, like the material activation material produced by the second manufacturing method described above, has the generated electrons whose movement speed is increased by the magnetic field lines and whose movement direction is controlled by the magnetic field lines, making it possible to propagate electrons to the material activation target at high speed, and making it possible to very easily produce material activation materials in various forms that can exert an even greater material activation effect.

[0065] Finally, a fourth method for manufacturing a substance activating member of the present invention will be described. Note that the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and can be implemented with appropriate modifications within the scope of the present invention. As shown in the block diagram of Figure 8, this third method for manufacturing a substance activating member includes a substance activating material forming step S41, a mold inserting step S42, and a compression molding step S43.

[0066] The material activation material formation step S41 is a process of forming a material activation material by mixing a powder of a natural mineral containing the above-mentioned radioactive substance and a powder of an electron generating material that generates electrons by alpha rays emitted from the natural mineral.

[0067] The mold casting step S42 is a step of casting the substance activation material mixed in the substance activation material forming step S41 into a mold of a predetermined shape. The shape of the mold is not particularly limited, and various types can be used, but it is preferable that the mold has a shape that allows for efficient compression in the subsequent compression forming step.

[0068] The compression molding step S43 is a process in which the substance activation material poured into the mold is compressed, solidified, and molded into a predetermined shape. This compression molding step S43 can be performed using various conventionally known press machines.

[0069] After the compression molding step S43 is completed, the compression-molded substance activator material is removed from the mold to complete the substance activator. By connecting an electrode to this substance activator, electrons generated by the substance activator can be efficiently transmitted to the substance activation target.

[0070] According to this fourth method for producing a substance activating member, it becomes possible to produce in an extremely simple manner a substance activating member in various forms that can exert an even greater substance activating effect.

[0071] The material activator manufactured by the above manufacturing method can be attached to devices containing substances to be activated in various fields, thereby effectively activating the substances. For example, by wrapping a sheet-like material activator tightly around the surface of an air duct of an automobile engine and securing it with a fastener such as a cable tie, electrons generated by the material activator propagate to the air molecules of the intake air flowing through the air duct, significantly promoting their activation. When this activated intake air is then supplied to the inside of the cylinder of the automobile engine, the fuel injected into the cylinder and the activated intake air are thoroughly mixed, significantly improving the combustion efficiency of the fuel within the cylinder, thereby reducing fuel consumption and promoting the purification of exhaust gases. Furthermore, because the material activator is attached to the outside of the air duct, it does not create resistance when the engine draws air.

[0072] Furthermore, by wrapping the material activating member around the outside of an automobile's exhaust pipe, the electrons emitted from the material activating member are transmitted to compounds such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas, greatly accelerating the activation of these compounds, and these compounds are sent to the catalytic converter in a state that is significantly activated by the transmitted electrons, allowing for extremely efficient purification. Furthermore, because the material activating member is wrapped around the outside of an automobile's exhaust pipe, it will not be damaged by the high-temperature exhaust gas.

[0073] Furthermore, by wrapping the material activating member around the outside of the cylinder block of an automobile, the electrons emitted from the material activating member act on the intake air or exhaust gas of the automobile engine flowing inside the cylinder block, greatly accelerating their activation. The intake air or exhaust gas is sent to the catalytic converter in a state that is significantly activated by the propagated electrons, and is therefore purified extremely efficiently.

[0074] The material activating member can also be used in a lubrication system that lubricates the sliding parts of machinery with lubricating oil. Lubricating oil is used to reduce friction between metal parts of machinery. However, such lubricating oil is affected by heat, worn metal particles, and other factors, and its lubricating and heat exchange capabilities gradually decline. Furthermore, accumulation of metal wear particles on an oil filter reduces the passage of the lubricating oil, further degrading its lubricating performance. Therefore, by wrapping the material activating member around the outside of a container that stores lubricating oil that lubricates the sliding parts of machinery, or a pipe through which the lubricating oil flows, the electrons emitted from the material activating member act on the lubricating oil flowing inside the lubricating system, significantly activating the lubricating oil. The activated lubricating oil, activated by the electrons propagating through it, can flow smoothly through the metal wear particles and other particles accumulated on the oil filter, thereby improving lubricating performance while maintaining the performance of the oil filter. This not only reduces the load on the oil pump and reduces power loss.

[0075] Material activators can also be used in cooling systems that use coolant to cool heat-generating parts of machinery. For example, in engines, coolant is pressurized and circulated to efficiently remove heat generated by combustion from the cylinder block. However, circulating coolant under pressure not only places a strain on the pump but can also lead to leaks from pipe connections and hose damage. Therefore, by wrapping a material activator around the outside of a container containing coolant for cooling heat-generating parts of machinery or the pipe through which the coolant flows, electrons emitted from the material activator act on the coolant flowing inside the cooling system, significantly promoting its activation. This allows a coating to be formed on the inner wall surface of the coolant circulation system, improving not only the heat transfer coefficient and cooling efficiency but also the smooth laminar flow of the coolant, reducing the circulation resistance of the coolant. As a result, the circulation pressure of the coolant can be reduced, reducing the load on the pump and power loss, as well as preventing leaks from pipe connections and hose damage. Furthermore, the layer of coolant activated by the propagation of electrons has the effect of preventing corrosion of the coolant circulation system and also preventing deterioration of rubber hoses and the like.

[0076] The material activating member can also be used in a fuel supply system that supplies liquid or gaseous fuel to a combustion engine, such as an internal combustion engine. In typical combustion, vaporized liquid or gaseous fuel is combined with oxygen in a combustion chamber to extract thermal energy. To efficiently extract this energy from the liquid or gaseous fuel, the fuel and air must be thoroughly mixed. Therefore, by wrapping the material activating member around the outside of a container that contains the liquid or gaseous fuel to be supplied to a combustion engine, or around a pipe through which the fuel flows, electrons generated by the material activating member act on the fuel, significantly promoting fuel activation. This allows the particle size of the fuel to be significantly smaller than usual when atomized by injection from a fuel injector. As a result, the fuel and air can be thoroughly mixed in the combustion chamber, allowing the thermal energy of the fuel to be fully extracted. This can be applied not only to gasoline but also to all petroleum products that contribute to combustion.

[0077] Material activators can also be used in the rotor blades that make up turbines. Rotational driving force is generated by applying working fluids, such as water in hydroelectric power generation, steam in thermal power generation, and oil in automobile automatic transmissions, to turbine blades. However, when the fluid comes into contact with the turbine blades, the resistance generated by the turbine blades increases as the fluid speed increases. Therefore, excessively high fluid speeds can reduce the energy transfer capacity from the fluid to the turbine blades. Therefore, by wrapping a material activator around the outside of the turbine blades or the outside of the casing that houses the turbine blades, electrons generated by the material activator act on the fluid, significantly enhancing its activation. This creates a laminar flow on the surface of the turbine rotor blades, allowing the fluid to flow smoothly between the turbine blades, reducing the resistance generated by the turbine blades and enabling more efficient rotational driving force.

[0078] The material activating member can also be used in cooling devices such as air conditioners. Cooling devices such as air conditioners and refrigerators vaporize a refrigerant in an evaporator to remove heat from the air in a room or refrigerator, then compress the refrigerant in a condenser and release the heat to the outside via a radiator. Therefore, to improve the cooling performance of refrigerators and air conditioners, it is necessary to improve the heat exchange efficiency of the refrigerant in the evaporator. Therefore, by wrapping a material activating member around the evaporator, which is the refrigerant passage used in the cooling device, or around the piping through which the refrigerant flows, electrons generated by the material activating member act on the refrigerant, significantly activating it. This allows a film of activated refrigerant to adhere tightly to the metal inner wall surfaces of the evaporator or piping, significantly improving the heat exchange efficiency between the refrigerant and the metal inner wall surfaces of the evaporator or piping.

[0079] The material activating member can also be used in a cleaning water storage container. In ordinary households, tap water is used as a solvent for detergents used to wash dishes, etc. To increase cleaning power, warm water must be used, which has the drawback of increasing utility costs. Therefore, by wrapping a material activating member around a cleaning water storage container or a pipe through which cleaning water flows, electrons generated from the material activating member act on the fluid, significantly promoting the activation of the cleaning water. When activated tap water is used as a solvent through the propagation of electrons, the detergent's surfactants are efficiently activated, even at room temperature. As a result, the cleaning ability of dishes, laundry, etc. can be significantly improved. Furthermore, activated tap water through the propagation of electrons also has the effect of preventing corrosion inside water pipes.

[0080] Material activators can also be used for plant growth. Plant growth requires nutrient-rich water in addition to sunlight and atmospheric carbon dioxide. To promote plant growth, it is desirable to increase the amount of water absorbed by plant roots. While increasing the water temperature is one method, this only increases the amount of water absorbed by plant roots to a certain extent. Therefore, to increase the amount of water absorbed by plant roots, a material activator can be wrapped around a supply water container containing nutrient-rich water to be supplied to plants, or around a pipe through which the supply water flows. The electrons generated by the material activator act on the fluid, significantly promoting the activation of the supply water. This activates the water supplied to plants and the nutrients contained therein. The activated water and nutrients are easily absorbed by plant root hairs, promoting plant growth. Furthermore, nitrogen compounds required by plants are produced when bacteria and enzymes decompose leaf humus. Supplying highly activated water accelerates the decomposition of leaf humus, increasing the production of nitrogen compounds. This makes it possible to significantly promote plant growth by using activated water containing a sufficient amount of dissolved nitrogen compounds.

[0081] The material activating material can also be used for animal growth. Animals require water to grow, as it makes up a large portion of their bodies. Animals kept in zoos and other facilities obtain their drinking water from tap water. However, while the drinking water is stored in a water supply tank, oxidation and deterioration of the drinking water progresses. Therefore, by wrapping the material activating material around the outside of the water supply tank or the pipes through which the water flows, electrons generated by the material activating material act on the water supply, activating it. The activated water is easily absorbed into the animal's body. Furthermore, the material activating material has antioxidant properties by suppressing the redox potential, and it also enhances immune function and promotes growth.

[0082] The material activating member can also be used for growing fish and shellfish. Because fish and shellfish live in an aquatic environment, water quality is extremely important. When raising fish and shellfish, waste products are discharged into the same aquarium as the water they inhabit, so if the water is not constantly purified, the quality will deteriorate. Therefore, by wrapping the material activating member around the outside of the supply water storage container for the water supplied to fish and shellfish, the circulating purification device, or the inside of the device around the pipe through which the supply water flows, electrons generated from the material activating member act on the supply water and activate it. The activated water is then easily absorbed into the bodies of fish and shellfish. In addition, it has antioxidant properties by suppressing the redox potential, and it is also effective in enhancing immune function and promoting growth.

[0083] The material activating member can also be used in septic tanks that treat wastewater. In septic tanks that treat human waste from ordinary households, aerobic bacteria oxidize and decompose organic matter while absorbing oxygen from the air. Therefore, by growing these aerobic bacteria, it becomes possible to efficiently treat human waste. Therefore, by wrapping the material activating member around the outside of an aeration air supply pump or the inside of the pump around the pipe through which the aeration air flows, electrons generated from the material activating member act on the air passing through the pump or the air flowing through the pipe, activating the air. As a result, activated air can be supplied to the septic tank, activating the aerobic bacteria that decompose human waste and enabling more efficient treatment of human waste.

[0084] The material activator can also be used in spray painting equipment. When painting automobile bodies, the particle size of the dispersed paint must be reduced to form a more uniform, high-quality painted surface. However, conventional spray painting equipment is designed to disperse the paint into a mist using air as is, making it difficult to further reduce the particle size of the dispersed paint. Therefore, by wrapping the material activator around the outside of a compressed air supply pump used to spray and atomize the paint, or around the pipe through which compressed air flows inside the pump, electrons generated from the material activator act on the air passing through the pump or the air flowing through the pipe, activating the air. The activated compressed air is then used to spray and atomize the paint, promoting mixing of the air and the paint and further reducing the particle size of the atomized paint. This allows for the formation of a more uniform, high-quality painted surface.

[0085] It has also been confirmed that by applying electrons emitted from the material activating member to a fluid (gas, liquid, powder, etc.) moving through a pipe, the flow rate of the fluid increases, improving transport efficiency. For example, it is possible to shorten the time it takes to transport powder from a tanker truck through piping to a factory tank. This is thought to be because the addition of electrons removes static electricity and reduces frictional resistance between the powder and the piping, thereby increasing the flow rate. Furthermore, by wrapping the material activating member around the outside of an automobile's exhaust pipe, electrons can be added to exhaust gases, increasing the exhaust rate and allowing them to escape more easily from the exhaust pipe, thereby improving engine combustion efficiency.

[0086] The inventors conducted experiments to confirm the effects of the material activating member according to the present invention, which are described below. The material activating member used in the experiments was fabricated as shown in FIG. 9, and was formed into a rectangular parallelepiped shape with a thickness of 10 mm and dimensions of 40 mm x 60 mm. This material activating member was prepared by mixing and thoroughly stirring powder of radium ore (natural ore) constituting the material activating material, powder of an electron-generating material, a cold-temperature plating solution containing zinc (a conductive, flowable binder; a cold-temperature plating paint containing 96% zinc), and copper powder for enhancing conductivity. The mixture was then poured into a mold, dried, and removed from the mold. 0.02 mm-thick copper electrodes (40 mm x 60 mm) were laminated on both sides of the material activating member. Lead wires were connected to the copper electrodes on both sides of the material activating member, and plate-shaped terminals were connected to the tips of the lead wires, allowing electrons generated in the material activating member to propagate from the terminals to the activation target. The radium ore (natural ore) content was 2 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the material activation material, the electron-generating material content was 20.8 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the material activation material, and the fluid binder content was 75.7 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the material activation material. The electron-generating material was a powder mixture of titanium dioxide, metallic magnesium, metallic silicon, black silica, and lanthanum hexaboride. The titanium dioxide powder content was 8 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the material activation material, the metallic magnesium powder content was 7.3 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the material activation material, the metallic silicon content was 3 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the material activation material, and the black silica content was 2 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the material activation material. The lanthanum hexaboride content was 0.5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the material activation material. The content of copper powder for increasing the electrical conductivity was set to 1.5 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the substance activating material.

[0087] When the terminals of the material activating member thus formed were connected to the high-pressure refrigerant gas pipe of an air conditioner and electrons were applied, as shown in Figure 10, it was confirmed that the outlet temperature during cooling operation decreased by 1 to 4°C. Specifically, the temperature was measured 20 minutes after the air conditioner was turned on, both with and without the material activating member. The temperature measurements were taken at the high-pressure and low-pressure surfaces of the refrigerant gas pipe and the indoor outlet. Without the material activating member, the temperatures on the high-pressure and low-pressure sides of the refrigerant gas pipe were 17.5°C and 22.7°C, respectively, and the temperature at the indoor outlet was 14.8°C. On the other hand, with the material activating member, the temperatures on the high-pressure and low-pressure sides of the refrigerant gas pipe were 15.5°C and 22.0°C, respectively, and the temperature at the indoor outlet was 11.6°C. This indicates that the use of the material activating member reduced the indoor outlet temperature by 3.2°C. In this experiment, the room temperature was 29.5°C, and the air conditioner was set to an energy-saving setting of 28°C. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the lubricating effect also reduced noise levels. These findings suggest that controlling the temperature setting can reduce power consumption. In addition, adding electrons to electrical appliances in general improves thermal conductivity, improving electrical flow and increasing efficiency, while reducing frictional resistance contributes to lower electricity bills. The flow of electricity depends on the state of free electrons in the conductor, and adding electrons is thought to slightly reduce resistance. In addition to air conditioners, adding electrons to the refrigerant in freezers and, primarily, household refrigerators, has also been shown to improve their cooling capacity.

[0088] Next, the terminals of the material activator used in the experiment were connected to a fan motor and electrons were applied. Specifically, the change in motor noise was measured with and without the material activator. The results showed that the motor noise level dropped by 3.7 dB, from -50.0 dB to -46.3 dB, mainly at 54 Hz, when the material activator was used. This confirmed that the use of the material activator reduces the load on the motor, i.e., the frictional resistance of the motor itself. The wind noise of the fan blades was also reduced. This is thought to be because the material activator eliminated static electricity, breaking the loop in which the rotating resin blades generate static electricity due to friction with the air, which then generates additional frictional resistance. As a result, the frictional resistance (mainly caused by static electricity) associated with the blades' rotation was reduced.

[0089] We also confirmed that the thermal conductivity of water is improved by adding electrons emitted from the material activating material to water. Specifically, we prepared regular tap water and tap water to which electrons were added by the material activating material, and measured the change in water temperature over time (heating time) when heated under the same conditions. The measurement results are shown in Table 1 below, and the corresponding graph is shown in Figure 11. Table 1 and the graph in Figure 11 indicate that the tap water to which electrons were added by the material activating material was heated more efficiently, indicating that the thermal conductivity of water is improved by the addition of electrons. In particular, we confirmed that the thermal conductivity at 40-60°C was improved by nearly 40% compared to water without added electrons. This improvement in the thermal conductivity of water increases its penetration power, improving the extraction power of cooked foods and allowing for faster penetration. Furthermore, the penetration effect on plants has been confirmed; soaking harvested vegetables in electron-added water has been confirmed to allow the water to penetrate the plants and maintain their freshness. Furthermore, when oil is added to water and stirred, and the separation state is checked between regular water and electron-imparted water, the regular water separates more quickly, confirming that the affinity with oil is improved.

[0090] [Table 1] It was also confirmed that applying electrons emitted from the material activation material to a metalworking cutting machine makes cutting smoother and improves the cutting accuracy of the processed surface. Normally, without the use of lubricating oil, metal-to-metal contact can cause seizure. For this reason, lubricating oil is used to reduce friction by using a film of lubricating oil to prevent direct contact between metals. However, it was confirmed that applying electrons instead of lubricating oil reduces frictional resistance even when metals come into contact, making seizure less likely.

[0091] Manufacturers typically recommend replacing car batteries every three years or after 30,000 kilometers of driving, but this is due to a decrease in the battery's maximum capacity. A battery whose maximum capacity has decreased to 80% will still only be 80% charged, even when fully charged. However, by adding a few mL of organogermanium solution doped with electrons released from the material activator to each battery cell, even a battery that has decreased to 80% capacity can be restored to 100% after just a few days of normal driving. The same battery was also found to be effective in extending the discharge time of lithium-ion batteries. While this naturally varies depending on the current value, it can be extended by 20–30% when used at the battery's rated capacity. It was also confirmed that adding electrons from the negative terminal through the material activator when charging a lithium-ion battery gradually increases the capacity of an aging battery that has lost capacity.

[0092] In addition, the following two batteries were prepared as automotive batteries and battery revival tests were conducted. Battery 1: A battery that was replaced after being dead and then left unused. Battery 2: Battery that can be used without any problems Battery 1 has a no-load voltage of 8.8V, which is 5V when connected to a charger, and is below the standard 7.4V, making it impossible to recover by charging. Battery 2 has a no-load voltage of 12.2V and can be charged normally without any problems.

[0093] Battery 1 and Battery 2 were charged with the battery electrolyte that had supplied electrons (5cc per cell) to the specified electrolyte level. Battery 1 was unable to charge because the charger circuit was not functioning. Battery 2 was fully charged in 7 hours using normal charging. Battery 1 had been left in a dead state for six months, and sulfation on the electrodes had crystallized, leaving it in a state where no current could flow and no rechargeability was possible. Battery 2 was connected in parallel with Battery 1, the voltage was increased to over 10V, at which point the charger would operate, and the charging circuit was activated. Battery 2 was then immediately removed. Although the charging circuit continued to function, Battery 1's electrodes were damaged, meaning no current could flow, and the charging condition remained unchanged. However, after repeating this process several times, current suddenly began to flow, and the battery became chargeable. Five hours later, when the battery was approximately 40% charged, bubbles began to bubble out of the electrolyte cap, causing the electrolyte inside to overflow. Approximately 20cc of electrolyte spilled out in total. Before adding the battery fluid that had received electrons, the fluid was above the upper level, so the electrolyte was drained to adjust the level. At that time, the fluid was colorless and transparent, but the overflowing fluid contained black particles and was generally black. After that, Battery 1 was fully charged in 4 hours.

[0094] This battery 1 was installed in a Daihatsu Move, and an engine start test was conducted. It was confirmed that the engine started smoothly when the ignition key was turned. The engine was then turned off, the power window was opened and closed, and the engine was started again. This process was repeated four times, and the engine started without any problems. Furthermore, it is generally believed that batteries that have experienced over-discharge (a state in which the battery has dropped to 10V, such as when the battery is dead) are unable to fully recover, even by charging, because sulfation covers the electrodes. Furthermore, batteries that have fallen below 7.4V have crystallized sulfation, making it virtually impossible for the sulfation to dissolve when charged. It is also believed that if the electrodes remain covered in this crystallized sulfation for even six months, recovery is impossible. However, it was confirmed that even such batteries could be restored without any problems by using the material activating member of the present invention. After the above test, we conducted a battery implementation test for one week, and found that there were no problems even when driving with the air conditioner on all the time, half day and half night, the engine started very well, and there was no noticeable dimming effect of the headlights even when idling.

[0095] We also measured the change in engine noise during climbing using a Mitsubishi Motors Delica D5 with and without a material activator attached to the engine. The measurement results are shown in Figures 12 and 13. Figure 12 shows the measurement results without the material activator attached to the engine, and Figure 13 shows the measurement results with the material activator attached to the engine. The noise level without the material activator attached to the engine was 60.7 dB, while the noise level with the material activator attached to the engine was 48.7 dB, a 12 dB reduction in noise level. Figures 14 and 15 show the measurement results for the frequency distribution. Figure 14 shows the measurement results without the material activator attached to the engine, and Figure 15 shows the measurement results with the material activator attached to the engine. Figures 14 and 15 demonstrate a reduction in engine noise in the low frequency range below 150 Hz.

[0096] Furthermore, applying electrons to chicken eggs during incubation results in nearly 100% utilization of the yolk upon hatching, and blood tests of the chicks have shown elevated spleen immune index mRNA values and higher body weights than normal. This appears to have a significant impact on chick dorsal hemagglutination antibody titers and spleen immune-related gene expression. In humans, applying electrons to the ankle has been shown using a blood flow microscope to increase blood flow to the fingertips in just 10 seconds, and it has been confirmed that the surface temperature of the back of the hand rises by 2-4°C on average within a few tens of minutes.

[0097] Furthermore, the inventors conducted experiments to confirm the effects of non-drying substance-activating materials that do not dry naturally, as described below. First, four types of non-drying substance-activating materials were prepared for the experiments (Sample 1 to Sample 4). The content of each ingredient contained in each non-drying substance-activating material is shown in Table 2.

[0098] [Table 2] Here, the molybdenum disulfide paste used was a fluid binder containing a mineral oil base oil and molybdenum disulfide powder with an average particle size of 1 μm. For Samples 1 and 2, the molybdenum disulfide powder content in the molybdenum disulfide paste was 30 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the molybdenum disulfide paste, and for Samples 3 and 4, the molybdenum disulfide powder content in the molybdenum disulfide paste was 50 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the molybdenum disulfide paste. The titanium dioxide powder, metal silicon powder, black silica powder, copper powder, lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) powder, gallium nitride (GaN) powder, and tourmaline powder all had average particle sizes of 1 μm or less.

[0099] The non-drying material activating materials for each sample were applied to the capacitors and transistors of an audio device (DENON: CD player: DCD-1650AR), and a sensitivity test was conducted to determine whether or not several people (10 people) perceived any change in the sound. Sensitivity tests were also conducted without the non-drying material activating materials applied. The results indicated that when the non-drying material activating materials for each sample were applied, the sound was more transparent than when they were not applied, and was evaluated as being more realistic and vivid. This effect is thought to be due to the electrons released from the non-drying material activating materials and propagated to the audio device, reducing mechanical noise emitted by the audio device and noise coming in from the power supply.

[0100] In addition, the results showed that the sound transparency was greater when Sample 2 was applied than when Sample 1 was applied. This is thought to be the effect of increasing the titanium dioxide content and including gallium nitride. Furthermore, the results showed that the sound quality was better, with greater clarity and realism when Sample 3 was applied than when Sample 2 was applied. This is thought to be largely due to the effect of increasing the molybdenum disulfide powder content in the molybdenum disulfide paste, which improved conductivity. It is also thought to be the effect of including lanthanum hexaboride powder. Furthermore, the sound quality was significantly better when Sample 4 was applied than when Sample 3 was applied, with greater clarity and realism, and the quietness of silent parts of music was also improved. This is thought to be the effect of increasing the titanium dioxide content.

[0101] The inventors also investigated whether applying the non-drying material-activating materials of Samples 1 to 4 to the power supply equipment of a milling machine, which rotates blades to cut metals, etc., resulted in changes in machining accuracy and machine noise. The results confirmed that applying the non-drying material-activating materials of each sample improved machining accuracy and reduced machine noise compared to not applying the materials. This is believed to be due to the electrons emitted from the non-drying material-activating materials and propagated to the milling machine, reducing frictional resistance between the blades and the workpiece, resulting in reduced vibration of the rotating blades. Furthermore, the effects were confirmed to be greater in Sample 2 than in Sample 1, and greater in Sample 3 than in Sample 2, and even greater in Sample 4 than in Sample 3.

[0102] The inventor also applied the non-drying substance activating material of Sample 1 to the fixed capacitors on the motherboard of a tower-type personal computer (OS: Windows 10) he built 15 years ago and conducted a test to confirm the change in the personal computer's startup time. The test confirmed that the startup time changed from 25 seconds before application to 15 seconds after application. The non-drying substance activating material was applied to the capacitor electrodes on the backside of the printed circuit board. Furthermore, applying the non-drying substance activating material of Sample 1 to the solid-state capacitors near the CPU fan and memory of the personal computer confirmed improvements in quietness and perceived speed. These results demonstrate that the electron generating paste of the present invention can improve the operating speed and quietness of a computer. [Explanation of symbols]
