Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an electron generating paste. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, attempts have been made to achieve various activation effects using electrons. For example, when a vehicle such as an automobile runs, static electricity is generated on the vehicle due to frictional contact between the air and the vehicle, and an electric charge (generally a positive charge) is charged to the body of the vehicle, etc., which reduces the engine's combustion efficiency and inhibits piston operation. However, by providing negatively charged electrons to the vehicle, engine performance is activated, engine combustion efficiency is improved, and inhibition of piston operation is prevented.

[0003] Furthermore, in order 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. By supplying electrons through the evaporator, which is the passage for the refrigerant used in the cooling device, or through the pipes through which the refrigerant flows, the electrons act on the refrigerant and promote its activation. As a result, a film of activated refrigerant adheres tightly to the metal inner wall surfaces of the evaporator and pipes, improving the heat exchange efficiency between the refrigerant and the metal inner wall surfaces of the evaporator and pipes. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] As described above, by supplying electrons to various objects or substances, it is possible to activate the objects themselves or to activate devices containing the substances. However, there is a need for the development of electron-generating components that can efficiently emit electrons, exert an even greater activation effect, and are easy to handle.

[0005] The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and aims to provide an electron generating paste that can efficiently emit electrons, exhibit a greater activation effect, and is easy to handle. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The above-mentioned object of the present invention is achieved by an electron generating paste that generates electrons, characterized by comprising a molybdenum disulfide paste, a powder of a natural mineral containing a radioactive substance, and a powder of an electron generating material that generates electrons by alpha rays emitted from the natural mineral.

[0007] In this electron generating paste, the powder of the electron generating material preferably contains at least titanium dioxide powder.

[0008] Preferably, the powder of the electron generating material further contains powder of metal silicon.

[0009] Preferably, the powder of the electron generating material further contains lanthanum hexaboride powder.

[0010] The content of the molybdenum disulfide paste is preferably 60 parts by mass or more relative to 100 parts by mass of the electron generating paste.

[0011] The content of the natural mineral powder is preferably 1 part by mass or more and 5 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the electron generating paste.

[0012] The content of the titanium dioxide powder is preferably 5 parts by mass or more and 20 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the electron generating paste.

[0013] The content of the metal silicon powder is preferably 2 parts by mass or more and 5 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the electron generating paste.

[0014] The content of the lanthanum hexaboride powder is preferably 0.5 parts by mass or more and 5 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the electron generating paste.

[0015] Furthermore, the molybdenum disulfide paste preferably includes a base oil and molybdenum disulfide powder, and the content of the molybdenum disulfide powder is preferably 30 parts by mass or more and 50 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the molybdenum disulfide paste. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an electron generating paste that can efficiently emit electrons, exhibit a greater activation effect, and is easy to handle. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0018] The electron generating paste according to the present invention is a fluid that can be spread thinly and has a viscosity and adhesive strength that prevents dripping when applied to an object, and is capable of generating electrons. The electron generating paste according to the present invention includes a molybdenum disulfide paste, a powder of a natural mineral containing a radioactive material, and a powder of an electron generating material that generates electrons by alpha rays emitted from the natural mineral.

[0019] 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.

[0020] Titanium dioxide (TiO2) powder is used as an electron generating material that generates electrons from alpha rays emitted from natural minerals. It is particularly preferable that this titanium dioxide (TiO2) be anatase type. Rutile type titanium dioxide (TiO2) may also be used. Titanium dioxide powder mixed with at least one powder selected from metal silicon, lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6), gallium nitride (GaN), black silica, tourmaline, boron, and boron compounds can also be used as an electron generating material.

[0021] The smaller the average particle size of the natural mineral powder, the greater the effect. For example, it is preferable to set it to 20 μm or less. It is more preferable to set it to 10 μm or less, and even more preferable to set it to 1 μm or less.

[0022] Similarly, the smaller the average particle size of the powder of the electron generating material, the greater the effect that can be obtained. For example, it is preferable to set it to 10 μm or less, and more preferably to set it to 1 μm or less.

[0023] The lower limit of the content of the natural ore is preferably set in the range of 1 part by mass to 5 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the electron generating paste.

[0024] The content of the electron generating material that generates electrons by alpha rays emitted from the natural mineral 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 is preferably set to 5 to 20 parts by mass, more preferably 10 to 20 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the electron generating paste. Furthermore, when a powder selected from metal silicon, lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6), gallium nitride (GaN), black silica, metal magnesium, tourmaline, boron, and a boron compound is contained in addition to titanium dioxide powder, the content of metal silicon is preferably set to 2 to 5 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the electron generating paste. The content of lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) is preferably set to 0.5 parts by mass or more and 2 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the electron generating paste, and the content of gallium nitride (GaN) 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 electron generating paste. 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 electron generating paste. The content of metallic magnesium is preferably set to 1 part by mass or more and 35 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the electron generating paste, and more preferably set to 5 parts by mass or more and 35 parts by mass or less. Furthermore, it is even more preferably set to 15 parts by mass or more and 35 parts by mass or less. The content of tourmaline is preferably set to 2 parts by mass or more and 10 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the electron generating paste. The content of boron is preferably set to 0.8 parts by mass or more and 2 parts by mass or less relative to the parts by mass of the electron generating paste, 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 relative to 100 parts by mass of the electron generating paste. Note that, for example, disodium octaborate tetrahydrate can be used as the boron compound.

[0025] The electron generating paste may also be configured to contain copper powder. The copper powder is preferably formed in a flake shape. The copper powder preferably has an average particle size of 10 μm or less, more preferably 1 μm or less. The inclusion of copper powder further improves conductivity, allowing electrons to be efficiently propagated to the electron supply target. Copper powder is also a substance that generates electrons in response to alpha rays emitted from natural minerals. Therefore, electrons are generated from the electron generating paste by the alpha rays emitted from the natural minerals, both from the electron generating substance and the copper powder, resulting in an increased amount of emitted electrons. 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 electron generating paste.

[0026] The electron generating paste may also be configured to contain a 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. By including the silver-plated copper powder, the conductivity is further improved, allowing electrons to be efficiently propagated to the electron supply target. Furthermore, the silver-plated copper powder is a substance that generates electrons in response to alpha rays emitted from natural minerals. Therefore, electrons are generated from the electron generating paste by the alpha rays emitted from the natural minerals, both from the electron generating substance and from the silver-plated copper powder, resulting in an increased amount of emitted electrons. Furthermore, electrons are emitted by the bonding of dissimilar metals, silver and copper, further increasing the amount of emitted electrons. The content of the powder with silver plating on the surface of copper powder is preferably set to 5 parts by mass or more and 20 parts by mass or less, and more preferably 8 parts by mass or more and 14 parts by mass or less, per 100 parts by mass of the electron generating paste.

[0027] The electron generating paste may also be configured to contain silver 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, more preferably 1 μm or less. The inclusion of silver powder further improves conductivity, allowing electrons to be efficiently propagated to the electron supply target. Furthermore, since silver powder is also a substance that generates electrons in response to alpha rays emitted from natural minerals, electrons are generated from the electron generating paste by the alpha rays emitted from the natural minerals, both from the electron generating substance and the silver powder, resulting in an increased amount of emitted electrons. 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 electron generating paste.

[0028] The electron generating paste may further contain a powder of a conductive carbon material such as graphite. The average particle size of the powder of the carbon material is preferably 10 μm or less, more preferably 1 μm or less. The content of the powder of the carbon material is preferably set to 1 part by mass or more and 5 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the electron generating paste. By further containing such a powder of a conductive carbon material, the conductivity is further improved, and electrons can be efficiently propagated to the electron supply target.

[0029] The molybdenum disulfide paste containing the natural ore powder and electron generating material is a paste-like material comprising a base oil and molybdenum disulfide powder, and serves as the base material for the electron generating paste according to the present invention. Examples of base oils that can be used include mineral oils and ester-based synthetic oils. The molybdenum disulfide paste is contained in an amount of 60 parts by mass or more per 100 parts by mass of the electron generating paste. The molybdenum disulfide powder is preferably contained in an amount of 30 to 50 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the molybdenum disulfide paste. The base oil is preferably contained in an amount of 50 to 70 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the molybdenum disulfide paste. The molybdenum disulfide powder preferably has an average particle size of 10 μm or less, more preferably 1 μm or less. Since molybdenum disulfide is a substance that generates electrons in response to alpha rays emitted from natural minerals, electrons are generated not only from the electron-generating substance but also from molybdenum disulfide in response to alpha rays emitted from natural minerals, resulting in an increase in the amount of electrons emitted. Furthermore, because molybdenum disulfide is electrically conductive, electrons generated within the electron-generating paste can be propagated to an electron supply target to which the electron-generating paste is applied.

[0030] The electron generating paste having the above-described configuration can be produced by mixing and stirring a base molybdenum disulfide paste with the above-described powder of natural ore, powder of electron generating material, copper powder (silver-plated copper powder), powder of conductive carbon material, etc.

[0031] The electron generating paste having the above configuration can be applied to machines, electrical devices, electrical equipment, goods, and the like used in various fields. For example, it can be applied to the tip of a bolt used in a machine or the inner surface of a nut. It can also be filled into the bottom of a cap nut. It can also be applied to the connection terminal of an electrical cable in a machine or electrical device. The electron generating paste according to the present invention is a fluid with a moderate viscosity and can be applied to a variety of objects, making it an extremely easy-to-use and handle electron generating member. Furthermore, electrons emitted from the applied electron generating paste propagate from the applied location throughout the machine, electrical device, etc., thereby further activating the machine, electronic device, etc. Furthermore, the electron generating paste having the above configuration can efficiently generate a large amount of electrons, resulting in an extremely significant activation effect.

[0032] By applying such electron generating paste to, for example, the surface of pipes in the engine of a vehicle such as an automobile, the tip of a bolt, the terminal of an electric cable, etc., negatively charged electrons are supplied to the vehicle through the applied area, and the positive charge on the vehicle is canceled out by the generation of static electricity, thereby activating engine performance. Also, by applying it to the connection parts of refrigerant pipes in a refrigerator or air conditioner, or the tip of a bolt provided at the connection parts, the electrons emitted from the electron generating paste act on the refrigerant, and a film of activated refrigerant adheres tightly to the metal inner wall surfaces of the evaporator or pipes, thereby further significantly improving the heat exchange efficiency between the refrigerant and the metal inner wall surfaces of the evaporator or pipes.

[0033] Furthermore, by applying the electron generating paste to the surface of the piping in the exhaust system of a vehicle such as an automobile, the emitted electrons are transmitted to compounds such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas, greatly promoting the activation of these compounds. These compounds are then sent to the catalytic device in a state that is significantly activated by the transmitted electrons, allowing for extremely efficient purification.

[0034] The electron-generating paste can also be used in lubrication systems that lubricate 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 in oil filters reduces the passage of the lubricating oil, further degrading lubrication performance. Therefore, by applying the electron-generating paste to a container that stores lubricating oil that lubricates the sliding parts of machinery or to a pipe through which the lubricating oil flows, the emitted electrons act on the lubricating oil in the container and the lubricating oil flowing inside the pipe, 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 not only maintaining the performance of the oil filter while improving lubrication performance, but also reducing the burden on the oil pump and reducing power loss.

[0035] The electron-generating paste 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 pressurized coolant not only places a strain on the pump but also can cause leaks from pipe connections and hose damage. Therefore, by applying the electron-generating paste to containers containing coolant used to cool heat-generating parts of machinery or to pipes through which the coolant flows, the emitted electrons act on the coolant in the container and the coolant flowing inside the pipes, significantly promoting coolant activation. This allows a coating to be formed on the inner wall surfaces of the coolant circulation system, improving heat transfer and cooling efficiency, as well as laminarizing the coolant and smoothing its flow, reducing circulation resistance. As a result, the coolant circulation pressure can be reduced, reducing the load on the pump and power loss, and 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.

[0036] The electron generating paste 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 applying the electron generating paste to a container that contains the liquid or gaseous fuel to be supplied to a combustion engine or to a pipe through which the liquid or gaseous fuel flows, the emitted electrons act on the fuel, significantly promoting its activation. This allows the particle size of the fuel to be much finer 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.

[0037] In addition, in ordinary households, tap water is used as a solvent for detergents used to wash dishes, etc., but to increase cleaning power, warm water must be used, which has the drawback of increasing utility costs. Therefore, by applying electron-generating paste to pipes through which tap water flows, the generated electrons act on the tap water, significantly activating the cleaning water. When activated tap water through which electrons are propagated is used as a solvent, the detergent's surfactants are efficiently activated, even at room temperature. As a result, the ability to clean dishes, laundry, etc. can be significantly improved. Furthermore, activated tap water through which electrons are propagated also has the effect of preventing corrosion inside water pipes.

[0038] The electron-generating paste 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, the electron-generating paste can be applied to a water supply container for nutrient-rich water to be supplied to plants or to a pipeline through which nutrient-rich water flows. The generated electrons act on the fluid, significantly activating it. This activates the water supplied to plants and the nutrients contained therein. The activated water and nutrients are easily absorbed by plant hair roots, promoting plant growth. Furthermore, nitrogen compounds required by plants are produced when bacteria and enzymes decompose leaf mold. Supplying highly activated water accelerates the decomposition of leaf mold, 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.

[0039] The electron-generating paste can also be used for animal rearing. Animals require water to make up most 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 progresses. Therefore, by applying the electron-generating paste to tap water pipes, the generated electrons act on the tap water, activating it. The activated water is easily absorbed into the animal's body. It also has antioxidant properties by suppressing the redox potential, and is effective in enhancing immune function and promoting growth.

[0040] The electron-generating paste 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 applying the electron-generating paste to the supply water storage container for the water supplied to fish and shellfish, the circulating purification device, or the pipes through which the supply water flows, the generated electrons act on the supply water and activate it. The activated water is then easily absorbed into the bodies of the 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.

[0041] The electron-generating paste 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 increasing the number of aerobic bacteria, it becomes possible to efficiently treat human waste. Therefore, by applying the electron-generating paste to an aeration air supply pump or to a piping through which aeration air flows, the generated electrons act on the air flowing through the piping, activating that 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.

[0042] The electron-generating paste 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 applying the electron-generating paste to a compressed air supply pump used to spray and atomize the paint, or to a pipe through which compressed air flows, the generated electrons act on 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, thereby further reducing the particle size of the atomized paint. This allows for the formation of a more uniform, high-quality painted surface.

[0043] It has also been confirmed that by applying the emitted electrons 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 pipes to a factory tank. This is thought to be because the addition of electrons removes static electricity, reducing frictional resistance between the powder and the pipe, thereby increasing the flow rate.

[0044] The inventors conducted experiments to confirm the effects of the electron generating paste according to the present invention, which will be described below. First, four types of electron generating pastes were prepared for the experiments (Sample 1 to Sample 4). Table 1 shows the content of each material in each electron generating paste.

[0045] [Table 1] The molybdenum disulfide paste used here was a mineral oil base oil containing 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 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 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.

[0046] The electron-generating paste for each sample was applied to the capacitors and transistors of an audio device (DENON: CD player: DCD-1650AR), and several people (10 people) listened to the music played from the audio device, conducting a sensitivity test to determine whether they perceived any change in the sound. Sensitivity tests were also conducted without the electron-generating paste applied. The results indicated that when the electron-generating paste for each sample was applied, the sound was more transparent than when it was not applied, and that it sounded more realistic and vivid. This effect is thought to be due to the electrons emitted from the electron-generating paste and propagated to the audio device, reducing mechanical noise emitted by the audio device and noise coming in from the power supply.

[0047] 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.

[0048] The inventors also investigated whether applying the electron-generating pastes according to Samples 1 to 4 to the power supply-related equipment of a milling machine, which rotates a blade to cut metals, etc., would result in any changes in machining accuracy or machine operating noise. The results confirmed that when the electron-generating paste according to each sample was applied, machining accuracy improved and the machine operating noise became quieter compared to when the paste was not applied. This is believed to be due to the effect of electrons emitted from the electron-generating paste and propagated to the milling machine, reducing frictional resistance between the blade and the workpiece, resulting in reduced vibration of the rotating blade. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the above effect was 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.

[0049] The inventor also applied the electron generating paste according to 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 electron generating paste was applied to the capacitor's electrode portion on the backside of the printed circuit board. Furthermore, applying the electron generating paste according to 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 according to the present invention can improve the computer's operating speed and quietness.

[0050] Here, electrons generated from the electron generating paste according to the present invention are supplied to the electron supply target, activating the object or substance to which the electrons are supplied. Further verification tests were conducted to determine whether activation actually occurred, and the contents and results of these verification tests are described below.

[0051] The electron generating paste samples used in the verification tests are described below. Three samples were prepared (hereinafter referred to as Samples 5, 6, and 7). Each of Samples 5, 6, and 7 was formed by thoroughly mixing radium ore (natural ore) powder, electron generating material powder, and a metal binder. The radium ore (natural ore) content was 2 parts by mass per 100 parts of electron generating paste, the electron generating material content was 22.3 parts by mass per 100 parts of electron generating paste, and the metal binder content was 75.7 parts by mass per 100 parts of electron generating paste. The metal binder used was molybdenum disulfide grease Grade A No. 240 manufactured by Maruyama Molybdenum Co., Ltd. The electron generating material was a powder mixture of titanium dioxide, metallic magnesium, metallic silicon, black silica, lanthanum hexaboride, and copper. The content of titanium dioxide powder was 8 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of electron generating paste, the content of metallic magnesium powder was 7.3 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of electron generating paste, the content of metallic silicon was 3 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of electron generating paste, and the content of black silica was 2 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of electron generating paste. The content of lanthanum hexaboride was 0.5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of electron generating paste. The content of copper powder was 1.5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of electron generating paste.

[0052] We requested the Hiroshima Prefectural Technology Research Institute to measure the coefficient of friction of the electron generating pastes related to Samples 5 to 7. As described in the "Test Results (Notice)" shown in Figure 1, the test was conducted in accordance with JIS K7125:1999 "Test Method for the Coefficient of Friction of Plastic Films and Sheets," using a Shimadzu AG-X plus 10kN tester to measure the static and dynamic coefficients of friction between a test specimen (aluminum: 42mm x 42mm x 42mm cubic test specimen) and a painted metal surface. Conductive grease (D to F) listed in the "Test Results (Notice)" correspond to Samples 5 to 7.

[0053] For each of these three samples, tests were conducted to determine whether there was any change in the static and dynamic friction coefficients before and after application. Measurements of each sample were taken three days after application. The static and dynamic friction coefficients were measured three times, and the average values ​​are listed in the "Test Results (Notification)" associated with Figure 1.

[0054] As shown in the "Test Results (Notification)" section of Figure 1, the static friction coefficients for Samples 5-7 (Conducta Grys (D-F)) before application were 0.26 for Sample 5 (Conducta Grys D), 0.29 for Sample 6 (Conducta Grys E), and 0.36 for Sample 7 (Conducta Grys F). After application, the values ​​changed to 0.49 for Sample 5 (Conducta Grys D), 0.75 for Sample 6 (Conducta Grys E), and 0.69 for Sample 7 (Conducta Grys F). In other words, the static friction coefficients after application increased by 188% for Sample 5, 259% for Sample 6, and 192% for Sample 7 compared to the values ​​before application. Here, when flat objects with smooth surfaces are combined, the contact area increases, which may result in a large van der Waals force, resulting in a significant increase in the static friction coefficient, as described above.

[0055] Furthermore, the coefficient of kinetic friction before application was 0.26 for Sample 5 (ConductaGris D), 0.27 for Sample 6 (ConductaGris E), and 0.27 for Sample 7 (ConductaGris F), whereas after application the values ​​were 0.24 for Sample 5 (ConductaGris D), 0.27 for Sample 6 (ConductaGris E), and 0.27 for Sample 7 (ConductaGris F). Only Sample 5 had a 7.7% decrease in the coefficient of kinetic friction after application compared to the value before application, whereas Samples 6 and 7 showed no change. The exact reason why the coefficient of kinetic friction of Samples 6 and 7 did not change is not yet known, but it is likely that Samples 6 and 7 were older products that had been manufactured longer than Sample 5, and therefore did not emit enough electrons to reduce the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction. In addition, in the case of Samples 6 and 7, it is presumed that electrons were not emitted to a degree sufficient to reduce the value of the dynamic friction coefficient, but the static friction coefficient increased significantly. Considering this result, it is presumed that van der Waals forces had a large effect on the measurement of the static friction coefficient of Samples 5 to 7 after application.

[0056] Furthermore, the inventors conducted additional retests based on the above verification test results (first verification test results), and the details of these verification tests are described below. A total of three electron generating paste samples (hereinafter referred to as samples 8, 9, and 10) were prepared for the second verification test. These samples have the same configuration as the above samples 5, 6, and 7, and are newly prepared.

[0057] We again requested Hiroshima Prefectural Technology Research Institute to measure the coefficient of friction of the electron generating pastes corresponding to Samples 8–10. As described in the “Test Results (Notice)” shown in Figures 2 and 3, the test was conducted in accordance with JIS K7125:1999 “Test Method for the Coefficient of Friction of Plastic Films and Sheets,” using a Shimadzu AG-X plus 10kN tester to measure the static and dynamic coefficients of friction between a test specimen (aluminum: 42mm x 42mm x 42mm cubic test specimen) and paper. In this second verification test, to minimize the effect of van der Waals forces, paper with a finely textured surface (copy paper; Nippon Paper Trading Co., Ltd.: PPC7070) was used as the sliding surface for the test specimen. The power conductor greases (B-1–B-3) described in the “Test Results (Notice)” shown in Figures 2 and 3 correspond to Samples 8–10.

[0058] For each of these three samples, tests were conducted to determine whether there was any change in the static and dynamic friction coefficients before and after application to the sample. Measurements of each sample after application were conducted six hours after application. Measurements of the static and dynamic friction coefficients were conducted three times, and the average values ​​are listed in the "Test Results (Notification)" associated with Figures 2 and 3.

[0059] Furthermore, in the "Test Results (Notification)" section of Figures 2 and 3, it can be seen that for Samples 8 to 10 (POWER CONDUCTOR GREASE (B-1 to B-3)), which are configured in paste form, the static friction coefficients before application were 0.29 for Sample 8 (POWER CONDUCTOR GREASE B-1), 0.37 for Sample 9 (POWER CONDUCTOR GREASE B-2), and 0.25 for Sample 10 (POWER CONDUCTOR GREASE B-3), whereas after application, these values ​​changed to 0.29 for Sample 8, 0.31 for Sample 9, and 0.23 for Sample 10. In other words, it can be seen that the static friction coefficients after application were unchanged for Sample 8, reduced by 16.2% for Sample 9, and 8.0% for Sample 10 compared to the static friction coefficients before application.

[0060] Furthermore, the coefficient of kinetic friction before application was 0.28 for Sample 8 (POWER CONDUCTOR GREASE B-1), 0.34 for Sample 9 (POWER CONDUCTOR GREASE B-2), and 0.24 for Sample 10 (POWER CONDUCTOR GREASE B-3), whereas after application the values ​​changed to 0.25 for Sample 8, 0.23 for Sample 9, and 0.22 for Sample 10. This indicates that the coefficient of kinetic friction after application was reduced by 10.7% for Sample 8, 32.4% for Sample 9, and 8.3% for Sample 10 compared to the values ​​before application.

[0061] From the above, it can be seen that the electron generating paste according to the present invention has the effect of significantly reducing the static and dynamic friction coefficients. In other words, it can be said that the static and dynamic friction coefficients have been activated. Furthermore, by connecting the electron generating device 1 according to the present invention to the power supply related device of a milling machine that rotates a blade to cut metal, for example, the reduced dynamic friction coefficient allows the electrons emitted from the electron generating device 1 to propagate to the milling machine blade, reducing the frictional resistance between the blade and the workpiece. As a result, the vibration of the rotating blade is reduced, improving processing accuracy and quieting the operating noise of the machine.

[0062] As described above, it was confirmed that Samples 8 to 10 of the electron generating paste according to the present invention exhibited the effect of significantly reducing the static and dynamic friction coefficients, indicating that the substance was activated. Note that in the second verification test, the static and dynamic friction coefficients were measured between the test piece and paper having a finely textured surface, so it is believed that the test results reflected the effect of electrons generated by the electron generating paste without the action of van der Waals forces.

[0063] In addition, the inventors separately prepared an electron-generating paste identical to the electron-generating pastes related to Samples 5 to 7 above (hereinafter referred to as Sample 11) and conducted an experiment to measure the changes in the acoustic characteristics of the sound emitted from car audio before and after applying Sample 11.The details of this experiment and its results will be described below.

[0064] First, the car used in the experiment was a BMW E63 650i. It was first registered in December 2007, and its model number is ABA-EH48. An electrolytic capacitor (20,000 μF) was connected in parallel to the battery terminal of this car, and the electron generating paste of Sample 11 was applied to the negative terminal of the car's battery, the bolt heads of the bolts that secure the spark plugs to the car's engine, the bolt heads of the alternator securing bolts, and the earth bridge terminal of the frame.

[0065] Here, the electrolytic capacitors are used to improve the transient response of the power supply, and two 10,000 μF capacitors were taken from a Sansui Electric Co., Ltd. integrated amplifier (model number: AU607), connected in parallel for a total of 20,000 μF, and connected in parallel to the battery (photographs in Figures 4 and 5). Note that Figure 4 is a photograph of the two removed capacitors, and Figure 5 is a photograph showing the capacitors connected in parallel to the battery.

[0066] For the acoustic measurements, we used a Behringer measurement microphone (model number: ECM8000), a Steinberg audio interface, a MacBook PRO (personal computer), and Room EQ Wizard as acoustic measurement software.

[0067] As shown in the experimental setup photo in Figure 6, acoustic measurements were performed with a blanket placed around the microphone to reduce external noise. The microphone was also used to measure the frequency characteristics, distortion, and clarity of the sound emitted from the mid-range speaker (speaker) on the right channel of the car audio. The left channel of the car audio was adjusted so that no sound was emitted.

[0068] The experiments were conducted in three cases: the initial state (a state in which the electrolytic capacitor was not connected to the battery and the electron generating paste related to sample 11 was not applied; hereinafter referred to as state 1); a state in which only the electrolytic capacitor was connected to the battery (hereinafter referred to as state 2); and a state in which the electrolytic capacitor was connected to the battery and the electron generating paste related to sample 11 was applied to the above-mentioned specified locations (hereinafter referred to as state 3).

[0069] The experimental results are described below. First, the results of the measured sound pressure level characteristics (frequency characteristics) are shown in FIG. 7. Here, the horizontal axis of FIG. 7 is frequency, and the vertical axis is sound pressure level (a value representing the loudness of the sound). As can be seen from the graph in FIG. 7, the sound pressure level increases overall (especially in the frequency range of 100 Hz or higher) in the order of State 2, State 1, and State 3. In other words, the sound pressure level is higher in the initial state (State 1) than in the state where the electrolytic capacitor is connected to the battery (State 2), and the sound pressure level is higher when the electron generating paste according to Sample 11 is applied to the negative terminal of a battery or the head of a bolt that secures an ignition plug to an automobile engine (State 3) than in State 1.

[0070] Next, the results of the measured sound distortion characteristics are shown in Figure 8. In Figure 8, the horizontal axis is frequency and the vertical axis is distortion level. It can be seen from the graph in Figure 8 that the measurement results in State 3 have the smallest distortion level overall. Furthermore, for example, in the range of 400 Hz to 5 kHz, which is known as the frequency band of musical instrument sounds, the measurement results in the initial state (State 1) and State 2 show extremely large fluctuations in distortion level (extremely large swing range of distortion level), which tends to result in poor sound quality, whereas in State 3, where the electron generating paste related to Sample 11 was applied, the fluctuations in distortion level are kept smaller than in States 1 and 2, and the sound quality is good.

[0071] Furthermore, the measured sound transparency characteristics are shown in Figure 9. In Figure 9, the horizontal axis represents frequency and the vertical axis represents transparency level. From the graph in Figure 9, it can be seen that the measurement results in State 3 are the state with the highest sound transparency overall. Furthermore, for example, in the range of 400 Hz to 5 kHz, which is known as the frequency band of musical instrument sounds, the measurement results in the initial state (State 1) show extremely large fluctuations in the transparency level (extremely large fluctuations in sound pressure level), and depending on the sound frequency, the sound becomes increasingly muddy and difficult to hear clearly. In contrast, State 3, in which the electron generating paste related to Sample 11 was applied, shows a high transparency level, allowing the sound to be heard clearly. Furthermore, since the fluctuations in the transparency level are kept small, it can be seen that muddiness is less likely to occur with respect to sounds of specific frequencies.

[0072] As described above, it can be seen that the electrons emitted from the electron generating paste according to the present invention improve the acoustic characteristics of car audio.
