Abstract

A method for treating a living organism to increase nutrient ingestion. The step of the method are first treating a fluid stream for use by at least one living organism, in a surface tension modification generator (STMG) at a first pressure with a frequency minimize hydrogen bonding of the fluid forming a reduced surface tension stream. The next step is flowing the reduced surface tension stream through a port reducing the first pressure to a second pressure and adding oxygen. After oxygen is added, then flow the reduced surface tension stream with oxygen at the second pressure into an inner chamber. The next step is flowing the reduced surface tension stream and oxygen from the inner chamber through a plurality of funnels disposed in a wall of the inner chamber creating a turbid zone in an outer chamber, and wherein nano-sized oxygen particles are dissolved into the stream.

Claims (19)

1. A method for treating a living organism to increase nutrient ingestion comprising:

a. treating a fluid stream for use by at least one living organism in a surface tension modification generator (STMG) at a first pressure with a frequency from about 0.05 Hz to about 5000 Hz to minimize hydrogen bonding of the fluid forming a reduced surface tension stream;

b. flowing the reduced surface tension stream through a port reducing the first pressure to a second pressure and adding a gas;

c. flowing the reduced surface tension stream with the gas at the second pressure into an inner chamber of a multichamber device;

d. flowing the reduced surface tension stream from the inner chamber through at least two funnels disposed in a wall of the inner chamber creating a turbid zone in an outer chamber of the multichamber device by a pressure drop wherein nano-sized particles of the gas are dissolved into the reduced surface tension stream forming a dissolved gas stream; and

e. flowing the dissolved gas stream from the outer chamber for use by a living organism to increase nutrient ingestion.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fluid stream comprises water, mixtures, solutions, fluidized solids, suspensions, and combinations thereof.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the living organisms are selected from the group consisting of: fish, crustaceans, farm animals, macro-organisms, micro-organisms, humans, domestic animals, farm birds, animals in zoos, and aquatic creatures in aquariums.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the living organisms are agricultural crops, aquaculture crops, house plants, or office plants.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the agricultural crops include corn, wheat, rice, cotton, kenaf, sugar cane, alfalfa, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, peppers, sorghum, and combinations thereof.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the gas is oxygen, ozone, air, ethylene, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ethylene oxide, or combinations thereof.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of flowing the reduced surface tension stream through the at least two funnels includes using from about 2 funnels to about 168 funnels.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of flowing the gas into the port is at a gas pressure from about 1 to about 100 psi.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the flowing of the reduced surface tension stream into the inner chamber is at a rate from about 0.5 gallon to about 600 gallons per minute.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the frequency used is a variable frequency.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing at least two different frequencies to treat the fluid in the STMG.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the frequency ranges from about 456 Hz to about 457 Hz.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least two funnels are tapered.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least two funnels are directed at a focus point.
