Method and equipment for treating electrostatic field and electrode used therein

Abstract

A method of treating a food object in an electrostatic field to thaw food rapidly at temperatures between 0° C. and a freezing temperature of an object to be treated. By applying the electrostatic field, the freezing temperature of the food is lowered but the food does not freeze in the electrostatic field. Accordingly, foods are kept fresher longer and the freshness can be maintained over a range of temperatures.

1 . A method of treating an object comprising the steps of: 
 selecting an object from the group consisting of blood of a human being, internal organs thereof, bone marrow thereof, medicines and cosmetics;    setting a conductive electrode in an insulated atmosphere to impress a voltage on the conductive electrode to generate an electrostatic field around the conductive electrode; and    placing the object to be treated in the electrostatic field in an insulated state to perform storing, thawing and freezing.    
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the object is set in a refrigerator and a voltage of 50V to 5 KV is impressed on the conductive electrode.  
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 2 , wherein the refrigerator is a delivery box with a battery for impressing a voltage on the conductive electrode.  
     
     
         4 . A method of treating a body of a human being comprising the steps of: 
 setting an insulated electrode plate on a table; and    placing a body of a human being to be treated in an electrostatic field generated by the insulated electrode plate to perform medical treatment or decrease of rotting speed of a dead body.    
     
     
         5 . An apparatus for treating an object the object comprising one of blood of a human being, internal organs thereof, bone marrow thereof, medicines and cosmetics, the apparatus comprising: 
 a conductive electrode disposed in an insulated atmosphere in a refrigerator;    a voltage generating device for impressing a voltage on the conductive electrode for storing, thawing and freezing one of a human being, internal organs thereof, bone marrow thereof, medicines and cosmetics; and    a constant temperature control system for keeping constant a temperature in the refrigerator.    
     
     
         6 . The apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the refrigerator is formed as a delivery box with a battery for impressing a voltage on the conductive electrode.  
     
     
         7 . The apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the conductive electrode is formed by an inner wall of the refrigerator, and a voltage of 50V to 5 KV is impressed on the conductive electrode.  
     
     
         8 . The apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the voltage generating device generates an alternating voltage in which a negative voltage is larger than a positive voltage.  
     
     
         9 . An apparatus for treating a body of a human being comprising: 
 an insulated electrode plate set on a table for medical treatment of the human body or laying a dead body of a human being thereon; and    a voltage generating device for impressing a voltage on the insulated electrode plate to perform medical treatment or to decrease a rotting speed of the dead body.
