Abstract: The present invention relates to the control by magnetic fields (MF) of the activity of the mitochondrial enzyme adenosine triphosphate synthase (ATPS). Elimination of alternating and static MFs allows ATPS activity amplification (ATPSA), while a variety of MF frequency-intensity combinations interfere to various degrees with ATPS function (ATPSI). Control of ATPS, which is the endpoint of the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation system, allows alteration of intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, a molecule critical to the function of living organisms. Changes in ATP levels may trigger various events in cells, and prolonged ATPSI can lead to cell death. Specific combinations of MF frequencies and intensities maximize ATPSI for cancer cell killing and other health related applications.

Abstract: Two groups of magnetic field transducers shielded from electric fields and at a known distance from each other are contained in a portable instrument. Each group consists of 3 magnetic field transducers each sensitive to the magnetic field at a single point but according to three orthogonal orientations. Rapid reading of the magnetic field values measured by all 6 coils allows evaluation of the current in a straight electrical conductor relatively near to the apparatus on the basis of the direction and amplitude of the magnetic field vectors measured at the position of each group of 3 coils. Assuming that the conductor under scrutiny is the dominant magnetic influence in the area, the determination of both current and distance of the conductor is exact within a wide range of distances between apparatus and conductor and within a large number of orientations of the apparatus with respect to the conductor because of internal computational compensations performed by a microprocessor.

Abstract: According to the method, a strip of nonconductive, fibrous material having a capillary effect with respect to water is fixed in close contact with each conductor of the transmission line. The capillary effect of the fibrous material ensures the formation of thin filaments of water on the surface of the conductor when the same is wet. These filaments of water promote the generation of a corona effect in the form of permanent discharges resulting in a luminescent phenomena and inhibit the occurrence of pulsatory discharges. A conductor for aerial, high voltage, electric power transmission line which allows the above method to be carried out, is also disclosed.
