Abstract
The invention provides a method of inhibiting biological damage to a cellulosic structural element exposed to environmental moisture, said method comprising applying a pulsed asymmetric electrical voltage to a decay-prone region of a said element over a prolonged time period.
Claims18
A method of inhibiting biological damage to a cellulosic structural element or to an animal feed or bedding material exposed to environmental moisture, said method comprising applying a pulsed asymmetric electrical voltage to a decay-prone region of a said element, feed or material over a prolonged time period.
(canceled)
A cellulosic structural element incorporating apparatus for inhibiting biological damage thereof, said apparatus comprising a source of a pulsed asymmetric electrical voltage electrically connected to a decay-prone region of said element.
An apparatus for inhibiting biological damage to a cellulosic structural element, said apparatus comprising a voltage modulator (e.g. a rectifier or transformer) connectable to an electric voltage source and connected via an electric lead to a cellulosic element-engaging electrode.
