  • Publication number: 20030201236
    Abstract: A process and an apparatus are provided for altering the biological, chemical, and molecular activity of primary materials, such as metals and ceramics, in order to confer atypical energetic effects on the so-altered primary materials. Such primary material is bombarded by varying frequencies of energy from an array of sources, causing vibrational excitation of the primary material at the molecular level which changes the molecular nature of the so-treated material. The primary material is then effective in altering the biological, chemical, and molecular activity of secondary materials brought in close proximity thereto. The invention sets forth a process and apparatus for producing water-purifying tools and a process and apparatus for purifying water.

  • Patent number: 6481116
    Abstract: A hair dryer employing a radiator made of a ceramic adapted when heated to radiate far-infrared radiation comprises an elongate body, which has an inlet end defining an inlet and an outlet end defining an outlet, a fan, which is adapted when driven to draw air into the inlet, to move air through the elongate body, and to blow air from the outlet, an electrical motor, which is adapted when energized to drive the fan, and an electrical heater, which is mounted within the elongate body, between the fan and the outlet. The ceramic radiator is configured as a grille having plural apertures, through which air can flow when moved through the elongate body by the fan when energized. As and where a flow modifier, such as a flow concentrator, would be otherwise mounted, the ceramic radiator is mounted to the elongate body, at or near the outlet end, within the outlet, via a generally tubular adapter.

  • Patent number: 6378225
    Abstract: Employing a radiator made of a ceramic adapted when heated to radiate far-infrared radiation, a hair dryer comprises an elongate body, which has an inlet end defining an inlet and an outlet end defining an outlet, a fan, which is adapted when driven to draw air into the inlet, to move air through the elongate body, and to blow air from the outlet, an electrical motor, which is adapted when energized to drive the fan, and an electrical heater, which is mounted within the elongate body, between the fan and the outlet. The ceramic radiator, which is tubular, is mounted within the elongate body, between the fan and the outlet and near the electrical heater, which is configured as an elongate coil deployed around the ceramic radiator and which is adapted when energized to heat air pulled through the elongate body by the fan and to heat the ceramic radiator.
