Abstract:
1. An electrical system for promoting growth of a plant, the system comprising: a body including two intertwined helically wound runners arranged in at least two complete revolutions per runner, wherein a first runner is coupled to a second runner by struts, wherein the first runner has a first helical shape, wherein the second runner has a second helical shape, wherein the first runner and the second runner are arranged in a shape of a double helix, wherein the body has a periphery, wherein the body is installed around or near a plant; a first wire carried by and spirally wound around the first runner, wherein the first wire is conductive; a second wire carried by and spirally wound around the second runner, wherein the second wire is conductive; and one or more current sources arranged to electrically couple with two leads of the first wire causing a first current through the first wire along the first runner, wherein the one or more current sources provide the first current through the first wire such that an electromagnetic field is created and around the body that promotes growth of the plant disposed within or near the periphery of the body, wherein the one or more current sources are arranged to electrically couple with two leads of the second wire causing a second current through the second wire along the second runner, wherein the one or more current sources provide the second current through the second wire such that the electromagnetic field is modified.
