Patents by Inventor Robert N. Kirschbaum

Robert N. Kirschbaum has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20010011150
    Abstract: A way to supplement the electrical component of all living organisms has been discovered, and is disclosed herein. This is accomplished by passing electrical currents through elements and/or compounds in an aqueous environment. The elements and/or compounds gather electrical energy from the electrical current. The energized or magnetized elements are then given to the living organisms.

  • Patent number: 5148772
    Abstract: An apparatus for inhibiting bacteria growth and reproduction in an aquarium containing water and aquatic organisms such as fish, includes at least one positive and one negative electrode connected to a D.C. power source operative to produce electric power in the range of about 1.5 to 3.0 volts and about 0.1 to 10 milliamperes. The electrodes are disposed in spaced relation within the aquarium, and are at least partially immersed in the water. The positive electrode is formed from galvanized wire or zinc wire, and the negative electrode is formed from galvanized wire. The electric potential between the electrodes is effective to inhibit the reproduction of bacteria which is detrimental to fish, humans and water clarity. In larger aquariums, a plurality of pairs of positive and negative electrodes are spaced in alternating sequence within the aquarium to maintain an electric potential throughout the aquarium effective to inhibit bacteria reproduction.

  • Patent number: 4075071
    Abstract: A process for the treatment of essential oils per se and wood containing essential oils to convert a substantial portion of the oils to wood sugars and to change the structure of wood to render the same susceptible to bacterial action. It is to be noted that the essential oils are inhibitors of bacterial growth and as such they prevent wood from being digestible by bacteria. The process consists essentially in blending the essential oils or immersing wood particles containing essential oils into an electrolyte solution which may be formed by common salts such as NaCl. Passing an electrical current through the solution, using a metal anode which is eaten away during the process, converts the oils to wood sugars and also changes the wood structure in such a manner as to render the same susceptible to digestion by bacteria such as Rumen flora and Termite flora.
