Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional methods are used to generate aurora phenomena, then aurora can only occur at Earth's magnetic poles, but the device enables artificial aurora generation in non-polar regions as well
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces carbon allotrope composite material as an intermediary substance that mediates between the electric field and atmospheric gases to produce aurora. This composite material, deposited on electrode plates, enables aurora generation without requiring Earth's magnetic field, thus allowing aurora creation in non-polar regions while maintaining device simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physical-chemical parameters of the electrode surface by coating with carbon allotrope composite, which has unique electrical and optical properties. This parameter change enables the electrodes to generate high-energy charged particles that excite atmospheric gases to produce aurora, eliminating the need for magnetic field concentration at poles
2Power
If high energy input is provided to create artificial aurora, then aurora phenomenon can be generated, but energy efficiency becomes extremely low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses carbon allotrope composite material (combining graphene, carbon nanotubes, and other carbon forms) as electrode coating, which exhibits exceptional electrical conductivity and electron emission properties. This composite material enables efficient electron emission and charged particle generation with minimal energy input, achieving high energy efficiency in artificial aurora generation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the traditional mechanical/electromagnetic system requiring massive energy input with a quantum-mechanical system based on carbon allotrope's unique electron properties. The material's ability to emit electrons with extremely low power and generate high-energy charged particles through quantum effects substitutes for energy-intensive conventional methods
3Productivity
If carbon allotrope composite is deposited on substrate, then active oxygen concentration increases and chemical oxygen demand decreases, but deposition process complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs porous substrate structures (such as porous nickel or carbon fiber) as bases for carbon allotrope deposition. The porous structure provides large surface area for carbon allotrope coating, enhancing the active oxygen generation capability while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through standard porous material fabrication techniques
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the complex carbon allotrope composite into component carbon forms (graphene, carbon nanotubes, etc.) that can be deposited separately or in combination. This segmentation allows flexibility in manufacturing processes, enabling the use of established deposition techniques for each carbon form while achieving the combined beneficial effects in the final composite structure

Implementation Method 1
graphene can transfer electrons and nuclei like hydrogen and heavy hydrogen atoms by an effect known as quantum tunneling and cause vortex motion at the tip of a micro-region on its surface
Implementation Method 2
cause vortex motion at the tip of a micro-region on its surface. This can, in turn, cause high-energy particles to reverse to produce a certain number of superluminal abnormal high-energy charged particles
Implementation Method 3
one incident photon excites many electrons in graphene to produce a large number of electronic signals. Under the action of a low-frequency electric field in a low-energy state, some freely vibrating electrons on the surface of the graphene interact with photons to produce electron dense waves propagating along the surface, which can form electromagnetic surface waves of low-density plasma
Implementation Method 4
the electric field component of the light wave acts on the free electrons on the surface of the graphene. This can cause longitudinal wave oscillation of the free electrons along the light propagation direction, so as to produce the phenomena of surface plasmon resonance and coupled electromagnetic wave resonance
Implementation Method 5
Aurora is a natural phenomenon of the earth, which is a result of the interaction of the cosmic high-energy charged particles, the earth's surface atmosphere and the earth's magnetic field. Generally, aurora borealis appears to show greenish glow when oxygen is excited (557 nM), while aurora australis typically presents in shades of purple when nitrogen is excited (428 nM)
Implementation Method 6
a carbon allotrope composite with a thickness of about 200 nm can be obtained on the surface of the foamed nickel or the carbon fiber by controlling the chemical vapor deposition formation conditions
Implementation Method 7
By means of a method of normal-temperature, vacuum and high-frequency plasma chemical vapor deposition on diamond-like carbon film
Implementation Method 8
Schumann resonance demonstrates that the resonant frequency of an enormous cavity resonator formed by a closed-sphere earth-ionospheric cavity can enhance the radiation of extremely low frequency electromagnetic waves having a frequency of 0-300 Hz
