Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Utility Patent Application Serial No. 18 / 493,206, filed October 24, 2023, and a continuation-in-part of U.S. Utility Patent Application Serial No. 18 / 305,313, filed April 21, 2023, the specifications of which are incorporated herein by reference. One or more embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of water treatment and water enhancement systems. More particularly, but not by way of limitation, one or more embodiments of the present invention enable devices for treating water with multiple wavelengths of light from one direction or different directions, one or more embodiments of the present invention enable devices for treating water with the addition of hydrogen along with multiple wavelengths of light from one direction or different directions, other embodiments of the present invention enable devices for treating water with the addition of hydrogen and oxygen along with multiple wavelengths of light from one direction or different directions, and in one or more embodiments, also enable the use of sound. [Background technology]

[0002] Drinking water is often improved to achieve specific effects, such as removing contaminants or adding minerals or other components. However, these existing systems do not change the structure of the water itself. No known systems treat water with light, and possibly sound, to achieve novel structures in the water, such as a higher energy content.

[0003] Due to at least the limitations described above, there is a need for an apparatus for treating water with multiple wavelengths of light and possibly sound. There is also a need for an apparatus for treating hydrogenated water with multiple wavelengths of light. There is also a need for an apparatus for treating hydrogenated and oxygenated water with multiple wavelengths of light. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] One or more embodiments described herein relate to an apparatus for treating water with multiple wavelengths of light and, in some cases, sound. Embodiments of the invention can treat water with light, and in one or more embodiments, sound, to create new structures in the water. One or more embodiments described herein relate to an apparatus for treating water doped with hydrogen or hydrogen and oxygen with multiple wavelengths of light. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] One or more embodiments of the present invention may include a transparent container for containing water to be treated, a first light panel located on a first side of the container, and a second light panel located on a second side of the container. Alternatively, the first light panel may be located on the lower side of the transparent container, and the second light panel may be located on the upper side of the transparent container. The first light panel may have multiple light sources emitting light at three different first-side wavelengths that are irradiated toward the water in the container. The second light panel may have multiple light sources emitting light at three different second-side wavelengths that are irradiated toward the water in the container. The three different second-side wavelengths may all be different from the three different first-side wavelengths. In one or more embodiments, one or more light panels that transmit multiple wavelengths may be utilized. Additionally, one or more acoustic outputs may utilize one or more frequencies of sound to impart energy to the water.

[0006] In one or more embodiments of the invention, the second side of the container can be opposite the first side. In one or more embodiments, the first light panel can be above the transparent container and the second light panel can be below the transparent container.

[0007] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the amount of light emitted from the first light panel at each of three different first-side wavelengths may be substantially equal, and the amount of light emitted from the second light panel at each of three different second-side wavelengths may be substantially equal. Additionally, the amount of light from each LED emitting a given light panel wavelength may vary. More specifically, for three wavelengths of light per panel as described in this invention, the light output per LED may be in a ratio of 0.875:1:1.125. In other words, the number of LEDs, i.e., the total power in watts of the first LED in series as described in this invention, is 0.875 units compared to 1 unit for the second LED and 1.125 units for the third LED. In practice, for a 27-watt LED panel, LED 1 would be approximately 7.9 watts, LED 2 would be approximately 9 watts, and LED 3 would be approximately 10.1 watts. Other LED powers may be used depending on whether the water is being treated slowly or quickly, or whether the container is large or small.

[0008] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the three different first-side wavelengths may be selected from a first wavelength set selected from a plurality of wavelength set options, and the three different second-side wavelengths may be selected from a second wavelength set selected from these wavelength set options, different from the first wavelength set. Each wavelength set option may have three different wavelength 1 options, three different wavelength 2 options, and three different wavelength 3 options. The three different first-side wavelengths may include a first wavelength substantially equal to one of the three different wavelength 1 options associated with the first wavelength set, a second wavelength substantially equal to one of the three different wavelength 2 options associated with the first wavelength set, and a third wavelength substantially equal to one of the three different wavelength 3 options associated with the first wavelength set. The three different second-side wavelengths may include a first wavelength substantially equal to one of the three different wavelength 1 options associated with the second wavelength set, a second wavelength substantially equal to one of the three different wavelength 2 options associated with the second wavelength set, and a third wavelength substantially equal to one of the three different wavelength 3 options associated with the second wavelength set.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] An apparatus for treating water with multiple wavelengths of light is described. In the following exemplary description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of embodiments of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without incorporating all of the specific details set forth herein. In other instances, certain features, quantities, or measurements well known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the invention. The reader should note that while examples of the present invention are described herein, the claims, along with the full scope of any equivalents, define the scope of the present invention.

[0015] In experiments conducted by the inventors, they investigated the use of specific wavelengths of light to generate vibrations in water, gradually adding energy to the water. They found that treating water with six different wavelengths of light produced optimal results. This treatment resulted in a new water structure, as if energy had been added to the water. Figure 4 below shows the experimental results demonstrating this new structure.

[0016] FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary apparatus 100 that can be used to generate water with a desired structure. The apparatus includes a transparent container 103 capable of holding water 104 to be treated. The container 103 can be any shape or size. Two light panels 110 and 120 are positioned at different locations on the outside of the container. For example, the panels can be on opposite sides of the container. In the apparatus 100, the light panel 110 is located above the container 103, and the light panel 120 is located below the container 103. Each light panel can include multiple light sources, such as LEDs or lasers. Each light source can emit light of a specific wavelength or range of wavelengths that is directed toward the water 104 in the container 103. The light emitted from the light sources interacts with the water 104, changing its structure as described below. In one or more embodiments of the present invention, each of the light panels 110 and 120 can emit light at three different wavelengths, and all wavelengths from one panel can be different from the wavelengths from the other panel. Thus, water can be treated with six different wavelengths. The different wavelengths can be emitted from different types of light sources or light sources controlled to emit these different types of wavelengths. In FIG. 1, the different light sources on panels 110 and 120 are schematically represented by different shapes corresponding to different wavelengths. These icons do not necessarily represent the actual shapes of the light sources. Although light panel 110 has 18 light sources and light panel 120 has 18 light sources, these numbers are illustrative and embodiments can have any number of light sources on any light panel. Light source 115 emits light of wavelength 111, light source 116 emits light of wavelength 112, light source 117 emits light of wavelength 113, light source 125 emits light of wavelength 121, light source 126 emits light of wavelength 122, and light source 127 emits light of wavelength 123. The wavelengths 111, 112, 113, 121, 122, and 123 may all be different. In one or more embodiments, the amount of light emitted at each wavelength may be substantially equal for each of the different wavelengths. For example, panel 110 may have six light sources associated with each of wavelengths 111, 112, and 113, and panel 120 may have six light sources associated with each of wavelengths 121, 122, and 123, each of which may have similar or equal power or intensity. In one or more embodiments, the light panel outputs substantially no light at wavelengths other than the three different emitted wavelengths. For example, the emitted light may have a staggered peak near the center frequency such that other frequencies are not emitted at amplitudes close to the amplitude of the center frequency. Additionally, in some cases, the acoustic outputs 191 and 192 may be implemented as, for example, speakers, utilizing sound at one or more frequencies to energize the water 104 for any duration or multiple durations, e.g., continuous or discontinuous. In one or more embodiments, a 432 Hz tone, or a power of two (negative or positive integer power) thereof, is utilized, e.g., to set the first wavelength. A 432 Hz frequency has been shown to slightly reduce mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure values, significantly reduce mean heart rate (-4.79 bpm, p=0.05), and slightly reduce mean respiration values ​​(1 r.a., p=0.06) compared to 440 Hz. Continuous or discontinuous amplitudes of any power level can be utilized for water treatment. In one or more embodiments, sound escapes the housing, whether audible or at an intensity that can be felt but not heard. In one or more embodiments, the acoustic output is directed perpendicular to the light panel, while in other embodiments it is directed at a different angle to or near the container holding the water.

[0017] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, a mechanism may be provided to add either or both hydrogen 105 and oxygen 106 to the water 104 before or during treatment with light from the panels 110 and 120 . In one or more embodiments, hydrogen and oxygen can be produced by electrolysis of water, with the resulting hydrogen and oxygen gases being bubbled through the water during the process. An electrolyzer can also be incorporated into the device 100. The hydrogen and oxygen generated during electrolysis can be stored in the same container 103. The hydrogen and oxygen recombine into the water upon exposure to light from the light panel. Other sources of hydrogen and / or oxygen gas can be used instead of or in addition to electrolysis, and the gases can be bubbled through the water during the process. In one or more embodiments, another source of hydrogen and / or oxygen can be introduced into the water by introducing hydrogen and / or oxygen-bearing compounds, for example, hydrogen bound to minerals or other complexes.

[0018] An exemplary embodiment of apparatus 100 may use, for example, a container 103 that is approximately 4 inches in diameter and 4 inches high and holds approximately 500 ml of water, and panels 110 and 120 that are each approximately 4 inches in diameter and consume approximately 20 watts of power each. An exemplary treatment time for the water is 45 minutes. Additional sources of hydrogen and / or oxygen may or may not be used during treatment.

[0019] FIG. 2 shows exemplary wavelengths of light that may be used in one or more embodiments of device 100. In one or more embodiments, for each light panel, a selection 201 may be made to select one of the seven wavelength set options in table 200. Each light panel should be associated with a different wavelength set option. Next, for each light panel, a selection 202 may be made to select one wavelength from each of the three columns of table 200. These wavelength selection steps 201 and 202 ensure that all wavelengths are different, and specific wavelengths in the rows and columns of table 200 have been experimentally found to provide desired results. The wavelengths actually used in an embodiment may differ from the ideal wavelengths shown in table 200, for example, by about ±10 nm for each wavelength.

[0020] 3 illustrates an exemplary selection of wavelengths from table 200 for light panels 110 and 120 and wavelengths 111, 112, 113, 121, 122, and 123 of device 100 of FIG. 1. In this example, light panel 110 is associated with wavelength option set 301, and light panel 120 is associated with wavelength option set 302. Any two wavelength option sets can be used. For panel 110, first wavelength 111 is the second wavelength in the first row, second wavelength 112 is the second wavelength in the second row, and third wavelength 113 is the second wavelength in the third row. For panel 120, first wavelength 121 is the first wavelength in the first row, second wavelength 122 is the third wavelength in the second row, and third wavelength 123 is the second wavelength in the third row. An exemplary selection is embodied in a device that treats water at six different wavelengths approximately equal to 630 nm, 551 nm, 698 nm, 374 nm, 855 nm, and 677 nm.

[0021] FIG. 4 shows the results of an exemplary experiment conducted by the inventors using an embodiment of the present invention to treat water. In treatment step 401, 500 ml of water was placed in a glass container, which was approximately 4 inches in diameter and 4 inches in height. One of the LED panels described above was placed below the glass container and the other was placed above the glass container, so that both LED panels simultaneously treated the water in the glass container. The water was treated for 45 minutes.

[0022] After processing in step 401, the processed water was placed in a glass beaker in step 402 and placed in a freezer. The water in the freezer was observed for several hours until it froze. Image 410 shows the water 90 minutes after time 403, and image 420 shows the water 16 hours after time 404. Noteworthy are the appearance of implosion bubbles 411 in image 410 and the presence of water vortices 421 frozen inside the frozen ice in image 420. These unusual structures have never been observed in water before, indicating that the processing changed the structure of the water.

[0023] Figure 5 shows the results of an experiment in which a subject drank 500 ml of water treated with an embodiment of the present invention. Graph 501 shows a portion of the subject's Biopulsar® recording, with blue line 502 (shown as a thin gray line in Figure 5) indicating the time the subject drank the treated water. The results were both systemic and immediate (less than 10 seconds). After drinking the treated water, the subject's measurements were much more stable across multiple organ systems.

[0024] In one or more embodiments, the present invention can be incorporated into an apparatus that treats and dispenses water. The apparatus can, for example, maintain a stock of treated water that can be dispensed on demand, and dispensing can trigger the treatment of additional water in preparation for a subsequent dispensing cycle. FIG. 6 shows an exemplary treatment and dispensing apparatus 600. The apparatus has a water reservoir 601 that a user fills with untreated water. Lights and other components are housed within a housing 602. When a user desires treated water, they place a container, such as a cup or water bottle, in a dispensing area 603 and use a control panel 605 to initiate dispensing of treated water from an output 604. The control panel 605 can also include indicators that show the status of the apparatus, for example, to indicate when a component needs to be replaced or refilled. Because water treatment can take a significant amount of time (e.g., 45 minutes), the apparatus can treat water in advance and store the treated water in one or more tanks so that it is ready for dispensing.

[0025] FIG. 7 is a block diagram of selected exemplary components of device 600. Reservoir 601, into which the user places untreated water, has a capacity of, for example, 2 L. (This is an example; the device and its tank and reservoir capacities may be any size.) This exemplary device processes 500 mL of water per cycle. In the first treatment step, 500 mL is pumped from reservoir 601 through a filter to tank 701, where minerals are added to the water from cartridge 702. After the water is infused with the minerals, a subsequent step treats the mixture with light (as shown in FIG. 8). Control panel 605 can provide indicators that indicate when the water filter or mineral cartridge 702 needs to be replaced and can indicate when reservoir 601 needs to be refilled. Panel 605 can also indicate when the (treated) water is ready to be dispensed and how long the user needs to wait until the next dispensing cycle. When the water is ready to be dispensed, the user can press button 703 to dispense 500 mL of treated water from output 604.

[0026] Figure 8 is a more detailed block diagram of the components of device 600. The device has four tanks: a water reservoir 601 that stores raw water, a tank 701 that adds minerals to the water, and two light treatment tanks 801 and 802 with associated LED panels 811 and 812, respectively. Water is pumped from water reservoir 601 to tank 701 where minerals are added, and then to tanks 801 and 802 where the water and mineral mixture is treated with light. Treated water can be dispensed from either tank 801 or 802.

[0027] Figures 9 and 10 show flow charts of exemplary steps performed by apparatus 600 to treat and dispense water. Figure 9 shows the processing steps that prepare the water for initial dispensing. Figure 10 shows additional processing cycles that occur after dispensing to prepare the water for the next dispensing cycle. In step 901, a user fills the water reservoir 601 with untreated water. In step 902, a quantity of minerals (e.g., 0.5 mL) is poured into the tank 701, and in step 903, 500 mL of water is added to the tank 701 (amounts are illustrative). In step 904a, the water and mineral mixture is sent to the light treatment tank 802. After steps 902 and 903 are repeated, in step 904b, the water and mineral mixture is sent to the light treatment tank 801. In step 905, both tanks 801 and 802 are exposed to light for, e.g., 45 minutes. If water remains in the water reservoir 601, steps 902a and 903b are repeated to fill the tank 701 and add minerals, preparing for the next light treatment cycle. Event 910 then indicates (e.g., on a display panel) that the device is ready to dispense treated water. The system may also maintain counters of the number of uses of the water filter and mineral cartridge, and may modify these counters in steps 911 and 912 as water flows through the filter and as minerals are infused from the mineral cartridge. In one or more embodiments, different treatment times can be utilized for the light. In other embodiments, sound from an acoustic output device such as that shown in FIG. 1 can be utilized at any frequency and for any duration and power setting to treat the water before, during, or after this step, or in any pattern or combination before, during, or after this step. In one or more embodiments, the frequency utilized is 432 Hz. In other embodiments, other frequencies or frequencies near 432 Hz can be utilized.

[0028] Continuing with Figure 10, when a customer presses a button to dispense treated water in step 1001, the device dispenses water from either tank 801 or 802 (depending on which was treated first) in step 1002. Steps 904c, 905c, 905d, 902c, 903c, 911c, and 912c then repeat the mineral mixing and light treatment to refill the tank emptied in step 1002. These steps ensure that treated water is available to the device on demand, unless the customer is dispensing faster than the system can process it.

[0029] While the invention disclosed herein has been described in terms of particular embodiments and applications thereof, those skilled in the art will appreciate that numerous modifications and variations may be made thereto without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the claims.
