Abstract

A method and a device for preventing at least the driver of a vehicle to be subjected to the influence of an alternating field generated by naturally occurring geophysical fields as the vehicle moves, where in there is established in the vehicle as it moves an electromagnetic alternating field having a frequency in the range of at least 8 Hz to at most 30 Hz, preferably a frequency in the range of 12-30 Hz, with the aid of means adapted to generate said electromagnetic alternating field.

Description

505 610 i “ 2 Jag har observerat att ett fordon som rör sig med en hastighet av ca 90 km/tim passerar Curry-fälten med en frekvens av ca 5 Hz. 505 610 in “2 I have observed that a vehicle moving at a speed of about 90 km / h passes the Curry fields at a frequency of about 5 Hz.

Jag har vidare noterat att människan åtminstone på cellnivá kan påverkas av även svaga vâxelfält. Sålunda har man på senare tid visat att människoceller reagerar starkt för elektromagnetiska växelfält av storleksordningen 100-150 mikroTesla och med en frekvens av ca 50 Hz.I have further noted that humans, at least at the cellular level, can be affected by even weak gear fields. Thus, it has recently been shown that human cells react strongly to electromagnetic alternating fields of the order of 100-150 microTesla and with a frequency of about 50 Hz.

Vidare har jag observerat att trafikolyckor har inträffat i viss omfattning, där föraren till synes utan orsak oförklarli- gen har somnat vid ratten eller tappat körningskoncentrationen, så att fordonet kört av vägen.Furthermore, I have observed that traffic accidents have occurred to a certain extent, where the driver, for no apparent reason, has inexplicably fallen asleep at the wheel or lost his driving concentration, so that the vehicle drove off the road.

I rapporten "Effects on Pulsed Magnetic Fields of Low Intensity on Biological Systems & Basic Research on this Phenomenon" av Dr.Peter Kokoschinegg, Institute for Biophysic and Ray Research, A-5302 Henndorf/Salzburg och Professor Dr.Gerald Fischer, Dep. of Medical Bioclimatology, Hygiene Institute of the University of Graz, A-8010 Graz, påvisas vidare genom dubbelblindstudier, att magnetfält i storleksordningen om flera 100 nT till flera 100 pT, med en frekvens av ca 4 Hz framkallade en signifikant reduktion i sömnstörningar hos patienter med sömnstörningar.In the report "Effects on Pulsed Magnetic Fields of Low Intensity on Biological Systems & Basic Research on this Phenomenon" by Dr. Peter Kokoschinegg, Institute for Biophysic and Ray Research, A-5302 Henndorf / Salzburg and Professor Dr. Gerald Fischer, Dep. of Medical Bioclimatology, Hygiene Institute of the University of Graz, A-8010 Graz, further demonstrated by double-blind studies, that magnetic fields in the order of several 100 nT to several 100 pT, with a frequency of about 4 Hz, caused a significant reduction in sleep disorders in patients with sleep disorders.

Jag har på denna grund insett att det existerar ett problem som manifesteras i att vissa tidigare inte förklarbara typer av trafikolyckor synes ha ett samband med att föraren under färd exponeras för ett växelfält av låg frekvens. Ändamålet med uppfinningen är därför att anvisa en lösning på detta problem. 3 505 610 Uppfinningen definieras i de bilagda självständiga patentkraven.On this basis, I have realized that there is a problem that is manifested in the fact that certain previously unexplained types of traffic accidents seem to be related to the driver being exposed to a low-frequency gearbox while driving. The object of the invention is therefore to provide a solution to this problem. 3,505,610 The invention is defined in the appended independent claims.

Utföringsformer av uppfinningen anges i de bilagda osjälvstän- diga patentkraven Enligt uppfinningen har jag sålunda identifierat ett tekniskt problem som hänför sig till att en fordonsförare, vid färd med vanligt förekommande hastigheter, exempelvis upp till 150 km/ tim med fordonet genom stationârt existerande geofysiska fält, exponeras för vâxelfält med en frekvens i området upp till ca 10 Hz, dvs i ett frekvensområde där fält av denna karaktär och magnitud kan framkalla en förhöjd benägenhet hos föraren/passa- gerarna att somna eller få lägre grad av medvetande.Embodiments of the invention are set out in the appended dependent claims. According to the invention, I have thus identified a technical problem which relates to a vehicle driver, when traveling at commonly occurring speeds, for example up to 150 km / h with the vehicle through stationary existing geophysical fields. are exposed to shift fields with a frequency in the range up to about 10 Hz, ie in a frequency range where fields of this nature and magnitude can cause an increased tendency of the driver / passengers to fall asleep or have a lower degree of consciousness.

Såvitt jag kunnat utröna, finns en särskilt hög sådan benägen- het då föraren påverkas av ett vâxelfält med en frekvens i om- rådet 2-7 Hz, men hög benägenhet synes uppträda även i området upp till ca 10 Hz. Även upp till en frekvens av ca 12 Hz synes det finnas en förhöjd risk för lägre medvetandegrad hos föra- ren/passageraren.As far as I have been able to ascertain, there is a particularly high such tendency as the driver is affected by a gear field with a frequency in the range 2-7 Hz, but a high tendency also seems to occur in the range up to about 10 Hz. Even up to a frequency of about 12 Hz, there seems to be an increased risk of a lower degree of consciousness on the part of the driver / passenger.

Enligt uppfinningen undanröjes eller reduceras detta problem genom att man i fordonet alstrar ett elektromagnetiskt fält med en frekvens av åtminstone 8 Hz, och företrädesvis högst 30 Hz.According to the invention, this problem is eliminated or reduced by generating an electromagnetic field in the vehicle with a frequency of at least 8 Hz, and preferably at most 30 Hz.

Det alstrade växelfältet har företrädesvis en frekvens av åt- minstone 10 Hz, och helst en frekvens av åtminstone 12 eller 13 Hz. I praktiken föredras att alstra ett vâxelfält i frekvens- området 20-25 Hz.The generated alternating field preferably has a frequency of at least 10 Hz, and most preferably a frequency of at least 12 or 13 Hz. In practice, it is preferred to generate a gear field in the frequency range 20-25 Hz.

Genom att man enligt uppfinningen alstrar ett sådant fält i fordonet, kommer det alstrade fältet att bli dominant, så att den mänskliga organismen inte längre får någon märkbart förhöjd benägenhet till insomning eller lägre medvetandegrad genom inverkan av det vâxelfält som härrör från geofysiska fält som passeras av fordonet under färd. sus 610 i 4 Jag kan givetvis inte vara helt säker på vilka geofysiska fält det är som vid fordonets rörelse medför att föraren exponeras för ett insomningsstimulerande växelfält, och växelfâltet behö- ver naturligtvis inte vara kontinuerligt uppträdande; det räcker ju att det under vissa omständigheter, eller i olyckliga fall uppträder tillräckligt lång tid i det aktuella frekvens- området, för att kunna framkalla en stegrad olycksrisk genom att frambringa en förhöjd insomningsbenägenhet hos föraren.By generating such a field in the vehicle according to the invention, the generated field will become dominant, so that the human organism no longer has a noticeably increased tendency to fall asleep or a lower degree of consciousness due to the influence of the gear field originating from geophysical fields passed by the vehicle while driving. sus 610 i 4 Of course, I can not be entirely sure which geophysical fields cause the driver to be exposed to a sleep-stimulating gear field during the movement of the vehicle, and the gear field does not, of course, have to be continuously occurring; it is sufficient that in certain circumstances, or in unfortunate cases, a sufficiently long time occurs in the frequency range in question, to be able to provoke an increased risk of accident by producing an increased tendency to fall asleep in the driver.

Tack vare det elektromagnetiska fältet av 8 Hz - 30 Hz, som alstras i fordonets passagerareutrymme och som ges en lämplig intensitet, exempelvis av storleksordningen upp till några hundra mikro-Tesla, och har en relativt låg frekvens (högst 30 Hz), kan man uppnå förhållandet att människans celler inte upp- fattar växelfâltet som alstras av de geofysiska fälten vid for- donets rörelse genom dem. Det i fordonet alstrade växelfâltet kan med fördel utformas för att allmänt växla såsom en fyrkantvág.Thanks to the electromagnetic field of 8 Hz - 30 Hz, which is generated in the passenger compartment of the vehicle and which is given a suitable intensity, for example of the order of up to a few hundred micro-Tesla, and has a relatively low frequency (maximum 30 Hz), it is possible to achieve the fact that human cells do not perceive the gear field generated by the geophysical fields when the vehicle moves through them. The gear panel generated in the vehicle can advantageously be designed to generally shift like a square scale.

Anordningar för att i ett utrymme alstra ett elektromagnetiskt växelfält av 10_9 till 10'3 Tesla med en frekvens i området 10- 30 Hz är i sig välkända och kan inbyggas i ett fordon, exempel- vis dess förarhytt eller passagerarutrymme, för att exponera åtminstone föraren för ett motsvarande producerat elektromagne- tiskt fält.Devices for generating an electromagnetic alternating field of 10_9 to 10'3 Tesla in a space with a frequency in the range 10-30 Hz are well known per se and can be built into a vehicle, for example its driver's cab or passenger compartment, to expose at least the driver. for a correspondingly produced electromagnetic field.
