Abstract
An electrical system having an underlying structure having a helical shape is used to produce useful electromagnetic effects for agricultural applications, including promoting growth of animals.
Claims33
An electrical system for promoting growth of one or more animals, the system comprising:
- a body including a first runner arranged in a first helical shape having at least two complete revolutions, wherein the body is installed around and/or near the one or more animals;
- a first wire carried by the first runner, wherein the first wire is conductive;
- and
- one or more current sources arranged to electrically couple with the first wire, wherein the one or more current sources are configured to supply a first alternating current through the first wire such that an electromagnetic effect is created in and/or around the body that promotes growth of the one or more animals disposed within and/or near the body.
1 more element
A method for promoting growth of one or more animals, the method comprising:
- installing a body around and/or near the one or more animals, the body comprising:
- a first runner arranged in a first helical shape having at least two complete revolutions;
- a first wire carried by the first runner, wherein the first wire is conductive;
- and
- one or more current sources arranged to electrically couple with the first wire;
- and
- supplying a first alternating current through the first wire such that an electromagnetic effect is created in and/or around the body that promotes growth of the one or more animals disposed within and/or near the body.
4 more elements
An electrical system for promoting growth of one or more animals, the system comprising:
- a set of bodies, wherein individual bodies from the set of bodies include a runner arranged in a helical shape having at least two complete revolutions, wherein the set of bodies is installed around an area having a width and a length, wherein the width is between 8 and 100 feet, and wherein the length is between 10 and 500 feet;
- a set of wires, wherein individual wires from the set of wires are carried by individual runners included in the set of bodies, wherein individual wires from the set of wires are conductive;
- and
- one or more current sources arranged to electrically couple with individual wires from the set of wires, wherein the one or more current sources are configured to supply one or more alternating currents through individual wires from the set of wires such that one or more electromagnetic fields are created near the set of bodies, wherein the one or more electromagnetic fields promote growth of one or more animals disposed in the area.
