Description

[0001] APPARATUS FOR BIORESONANCE TREATMENT OF A WATER SUPPLY AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF

[0002] FIELD

[0003] The present technology is an apparatus, system and method for treating a water supply with electromagnetic radiation. More specifically, it is an apparatus that provides light pulses at predefined reinforcing frequencies or interfering frequencies or both.

[0004] BACKGROUND

[0005] The use of water irradiated with selected frequencies of electromagnetic radiation is known as a step in the production of bio-resonance therapeutics. What is also known is the use of irradiated water as the therapeutic. For example, WO2012160549 discloses homeopathic combinations, carriers imprinted with the bio-resonance of said combinations and articles of manufacture comprising the same. The method provides the benefits of the original pharmaceutical, while avoiding its downsides. As an example, it is possible to determine a medicament's frequency and then transfer said healing frequency to, e.g., water. Subsequently, drinking the treated water would provide all the benefits of the medicament, without any of its side effects. This would not be suitable to treat a water supply. Further, it does not address the concept of supplying interfering frequencies.

[0006] European Patent Application Publication No. 3790558 discloses water for use as a medicament, characterized in that to the water, electromagnetic energies in the form of: (i) light energy with a wavelength of between 500 and 700 nm, (ii) light energy with a wavelength of between 701 and 1050 nm, and (iii) an electrical energy with a maximum voltage of 240 V, are simultaneously applied, wherein at least one of the electromagnetic energies (i), (ii) and (iii) is applied to the water in the form of trains of pulses having at least two discrete frequencies, wherein a first frequency is between 0.1 to 10 Hz and a second frequency is between 40 and 1500 Hz. This would not be suitable to treat a water supply.

[0007] European Patent Application Publication No. 1112748 discloses transmission of a signal characteristic of the biological activity or specific biological behaviour of a substance from primary support material, in which the activity is demonstrated, to secondary physically separate material which does not contain the substance. Activity is detected by an electrical or electromagnetic detector. Secondary material is exposed to an electrical or electromagnetic emitter, connected to the detector by the means of transmission and high gain amplification for a time allowing: (a) amplification of the signal received by the detector and transmission to the emitter (b) detection of signal from emitter by secondary material. Also disclosed is the treatment of water, for example in the treatment of water worn or biologically contaminated. This would not be suitable to treat a water supply. Further, it does not address the concept of supplying interfering frequencies.

[0008] There are numerous situations where a water supply has been treated. For example, WO20221 95004 discloses a system and method / apparatus which involves the transfer of beneficial information as well as beneficial substances through the water into living organisms which consume the water. This allows for the treatment of living organisms en- mass using pre-existing or dedicated piping as a distribution system. In addition, authorities are provided with the ability to mete out beneficial treatments, in some cases using beneficial substances carried in the water lines, on an as needed basis, according to a treatment protocol that the authorities believe to be most effective. In an embodiment, cabins are provided that allow a user to be treated and identified such that a treatment certificate can be issued on the spot at a place of need, such as at an airport. Disclosed is the transmission of electromagnetic waves in water, however, this is through the use of carriers, which are physical entities entered into the water. Further, it does not address the concept of supplying interfering frequencies.

[0009] US Patent Application Publication No. 20120010859 discloses that it is also envisaged that the inventive carrier is realized in the shape of a grid wherein electromagnetic frequencies of parasiticides have been downloaded. Such a grid arranged in a water stream is suitable for conditioning the water itself with the frequencies of the parasiticides, with benefit for the cattle which will take such frequencies by drinking the water. While this addresses the concept of supplying interfering frequencies, it does not address the concept of supplying reinforcing frequencies.

[0010] What is needed is an apparatus that can be used to provide a water source with beneficial frequencies or interfering frequencies or both. It would be preferable if the apparatus was not directly exposed to the water supply, as this would require regulatory approval. It would be further preferable if the apparatus could be used in a flow through system, thereby providing the treated water on an as needed basis. It would be further preferable if it was suitable for use in grocery stores as part of a sprayer system for vegetables. It would also be preferable if it was suitable for use in housing developments to provide beneficial frequencies to users. It would also be preferable if it could be used to control, reduce or eliminate pests and invasive species. A method of use thereof would also be preferred.

A spiral mixer, generally referred to as 10, includes a tube 12 which has a distal end 14, a proximal end 16 and a bore 18 therebetween. The tube 12 is transparent or translucent. Each end of the spiral mixer 10 terminates in a fitting 20, 22 which is a threaded male member 24, 26, a hex nut 28, 30 and a collar 32, 34. The distal end 14 and the proximal end 16 are retained by their respective fitting 20, 22. A spiral 36 is housed in the bore 18. A hexagonal sleeve 38 fits around the tube 12 of the spiral mixer 10. The inner surface 44 of the hexagonal sleeve 38 retains series of light emitting diodes (LEDs) 46. The spiral mixer 10 and the hexagonal sleeve 38 are housed in a housing 50. Also housed in the housing 50 is an electronics module 52. A switch 54 is in electrical communication with the electronics module 52 and the LEDs 46. In use, the water supply piping is attached to the bio-resonance apparatus 8 by the fittings 20, 22. Hence it is an inline bio-resonance apparatus. The water is not in direct contact with the LEDs 46. In an alternative embodiment the hexagonal sleeve may be octagonal. In another embodiment, only the ends of the sleeve are hexagonal or octagonal. In yet another embodiment, any shape of sleeve may be used that can mate with the shape of the nuts.

[0054] An alternative embodiment bio-resonance apparatus, generally referred to as 60, is shown in Figure 2. It is also an inline bio-resonance apparatus. A housing 62 houses the electronics module 52, the LEDs 46, a collimating lens 64 and a T-shaped tube 66. The T-shaped tube 66 has fittings 68 at a proximal end 70 and a distal end 72 for mating with the water supply piping. The collimating lens 64 is directed to the bore 74 of the T-shaped tube 66 and at a plate 75 on the distal end 72 the leg 77 of the T-shaped tube 66. A switch 78 is in electrical communication with the electronics module 52 and the LEDs 46. The water is not in direct contact with the LEDs 46. In an alternative embodiment, a flat lens replaces the collimating lens and the LEDs are arranged in a ring surrounding the flat lens.

[0055] Another alternative embodiment bio-resonance apparatus, generally referred to as 400 is shown in Figure 3A. It is also an inline bio-resonance apparatus. A housing 402 houses the electronics module 52, the LEDs 46, and a straight tube 404. The straight tube 404 has fittings 406, 408 proximate to a proximal end 410 and a distal end 412 for mating with the water supply piping. The LEDs 46 are at one of the proximal end 410 or the distal end 412 and are directed to the bore 414 of the tube 404. A plate 416 covers the LEDs 46. In one embodiment, a mirror 418 is located at the end opposite the LEDs 46. In another embodiment shown in Figure 3B there are LEDs 46 at both the distal end 412 and the proximal end 410. This embodiment allows for two different frequencies to be delivered to the water. The orientation of the fittings 406, 408 can be either on the same plane or on opposing planes in either embodiment. A switch 78 is in electrical communication with the electronics module 52 and the LEDs 46 in both embodiments. The water is not in direct contact with the LEDs 46 in either embodiment.

[0056] The bio-resonance devices 8, 60 400 may also be used at a produce washing station. The bio-resonance device 8, 60, 400 is placed inline with the water line leading to the wash vessel.

[0057] Another alternative embodiment bio-resonance apparatus, generally referred to as 80, is shown in Figures 4A and 4B. This bio-resonance apparatus 80 is designed to control aquatic invasive species, for example, but not limited to Zebra mussels or Eurasian milfoil. As shown in Figure 4A, a housing 82 houses the electronics module 52, a wireless charger 84 and a battery 85. As shown in Figure 4B, the LED 46 and the electronics module 52 are retained in an aperture 86 in the housing 82. The LEDs 46 and the electronics module 52 are potted in a transparent resin cap 88, to reduce or eliminate water ingress and to retain the LEDs 46 and the electronics module 52. This bioresonance apparatus 80 can be placed in water intake and outflow pipes or in bodies of water. As it is battery powered, there is no need for a power source. It is therefore a portable bio-resonance apparatus.

[0058] The bio-resonance apparatus 80 may also be used at a produce washing station. It this capacity, it may be wired or wireless. The bio-resonance device 80 is placed in the wash vessel or is mounted in the vessel.

[0059] As shown in Figure 5, in all embodiments, the electronics module 52 includes an integrated circuit 90 that includes a microcontroller 92, a resistor 94, and a wireless communicator 96 such as a wireless radio or receiver, including but not limited to a Nearfield communication (NFC) electromagnetic coil, a Bluetooth® radio and a WiFi receiver. The microcontroller 92 is electronic communication with the LEDs 46. The microcontroller 92 is programmable. A real-time clock 98 may be integral with the microcontroller 92 or may be in electronic communication with the microcontroller 92. The switch 54, 78 may be integral with the microcontroller 92.

[0060] As shown in Figure 6, all embodiments are under control of a computing device 100 which includes a memory 102 and a processor 104. The memory 102 stores bio-resonance programmes. The memory 102 is configured to instruct the processor 104 to send a selected bio-resonance programme to the microcontroller 92 which receives the instructions and the bio-resonance programmes. Transmission is wireless, hence the computing device 100 includes a wireless radio 106. The microcontroller 92 may also store bio-resonance programmes. The bio-resonance programmes provide frequencies that are reinforcing frequencies or interfering frequencies or both. These frequencies are the rate at which the LEDs pulse light. The combination of the computing device100 and each bio-resonance apparatus 8, 60, 80, 400 is referred to as a bio-resonance system.

[0061] Use of the bio-resonance system that includes the bio-resonance apparatus 8, 60, 400 of Figures 1 , 2 and 3A and B respectively, begins with a user selecting a programme and instructing the computing device 100 to send the programme. The computing device then sends the programme wirelessly to the microcontroller 92 via the wireless receiver 96 of the electronics module 52. The microcontroller 92 then pulses the LEDs 46 at a frequency as written in the programme.

[0062] Use of the system comprising the bio-resonance apparatus 80 shown in Figures 4A and 4B begins when the bio-resonance apparatus 80 is placed in the water and a user selects a programme and instructs the computing device 100 to send the programme. The computing device 100 sends a programme wirelessly to the microcontroller 92 via the wireless receiver 96 of the electronics module 52. The microcontroller 92 then pulses the LEDs 46 at a frequency as written in the programme. For an invasive aquatic animal, the frequency may be derived from a predator of the invasive aquatic animal. In the specific example of a Zebra mussel, the frequency may be derived from a proteinase, as the byssal threads and the adhesive are made of proteins. For an invasive aquatic plant, the frequency may be derived from a herbicide.

[0063] Use of the system comprising the bio-resonance apparatus 80 shown in Figures 4A and 4B in a produce washing station begins when the bio-resonance apparatus 80 is placed in the water and a user selects a programme and instructs the computing device 100 to send the programme. Alternatively, the bio-resonance device 80 is permanently mounted in the washing vessel. The computing device 100 sends a programme wirelessly to the microcontroller 92 via the wireless receiver 96 of the electronics module 52. The microcontroller 92 then pulses the LEDs 46 at a frequency as written in the programme. For the produce washing system, non-limiting examples of reinforcing frequencies are frequencies derived from healthy vegetables. Non-limiting examples of interfering frequencies are frequencies derived from deleterious micro-organisms including mold, bacteria and viruses or are frequencies derived from substances that inhibit mold, bacteria and viruses. The use of the produce washing system extends the shelf-life of produce.

[0064] As shown in Figure 7, a produce sprayer system, generally referred to as 200 includes the bio-resonance apparatus 8, 60, a computing device 100 and the spraying system, generally referred to as 202.

The bio-resonance apparatus 8, 60 is inline with the water supply line 212 and is upstream from the delivery line 206. In use, the nozzles 208 are positioned to mist the vegetables. The real time clock 98 signals a time and the microcontroller 92 signals the switch 54, 78 to open the valve 210 and concomitantly signals the LEDs 46 to flash at a selected frequency or frequencies. After the produce has been sprayed for the selected time, the microcontroller 92 signals the switch 54, 78 to close the valve 210 and to turn off the LEDs 46. As would be understood, the spraying system 202 is under control of the computing device 100 which may be cloud-based. For the produce sprayer system 200, non-limiting examples of reinforcing frequencies are frequencies derived from healthy vegetables. Non-limiting examples of interfering frequencies are frequencies derived from deleterious micro-organisms including mold, bacteria and viruses or are frequencies derived from substances that inhibit mold, bacteria and viruses. The use of the produce sprayer system 200 extends the shelf-life of vegetables.

The bio-resonance apparatus 8, 60 is inline with the water supply line 312 and is upstream from the delivery line 306. In use, the feeder lines 304 are positioned to water the plants. The real time clock 98 signals a time and the microcontroller 92 signals the switch 54, 78 to open the valve 310 and concomitantly signals the LEDs 46 to flash at a selected frequency or frequencies. After the plants has been watered for the selected time, the microcontroller 92 signals the switch 54, 78 to close the valve 310 and to turn off the LEDs 46. As would be understood, the plant watering system 300 is under control of the computing device 100 which may be cloud-based. For the plant watering system 300, non-limiting examples of reinforcing frequencies are frequencies derived from healthy plants.
