Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing metal alloys do not effectively promote and stimulate vital energy in organisms, such as humans, animals, and plants, with a composition that is suitable for various applications and provides significant wellbeing benefits.
Innovation Solution
A copper metal alloy comprising between 60% and 70% copper, 16% and 24% silver, 3% and 6% zinc, 3% and 6% manganese, 0.5% and 6% germanium, and optionally 3% and 6% tin or 0.1% and 5% platinum, used in metal sheets or strips for applications like footwear insoles, clothing, mattresses, and orthopedic devices, enhancing neuromuscular performance and pain relief.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional metal alloys are used, then manufacturing is simple and cost-effective, but they do not effectively promote and stimulate vital energy in organisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies composite materials by creating a multi-element alloy system comprising copper (60-70%), silver (16-24%), zinc (3-6%), manganese (3-6%), germanium (0.5-6%), and optional tin (3-6%) or platinum (0.1-5%). This composite alloy combines multiple metals with complementary properties to achieve enhanced biological effects that single metals cannot provide, specifically for promoting and stimulating vital energy in organisms
2Reliability
If a specific alloy composition is developed for optimal biological effects, then wellbeing benefits are significantly enhanced, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by establishing specific compositional ranges for each alloying element (Cu: 60-70%, Ag: 16-24%, Zn: 3-6%, Mn: 3-6%, Ge: 0.5-6%, Sn: 3-6%, Pt: 0.1-5%) rather than fixed compositions. This approach allows manufacturing flexibility while ensuring the alloy maintains its beneficial properties, balancing precision requirements with practical manufacturability
