Description: ELECTROMAGNETIC REMEDIATION DEVICE FOR LOW- FREQUENCY EMISSIONS Technical Field The present invention relates to an electromagnetic remediation device, particularly but not exclusively useful for low-frequency emissions. Background art The increasing interest and attention to electromagnetic pollution is known. An increasing number of countries have restrictive laws regarding electromagnetic emissions and in some way require their elimination or discharge in safe conditions. Merely by way of example, mention can be made of structures for supporting high-voltage electrical conductors, on which many studies have been conducted and which require particular caution in laying them proximate to inhabited areas. Disclosure of the Invention The aim of the present invention is to provide an electromagnetic remediation device for low-frequency emissions which ensures a substantially complete elimination of the electromagnetic emission, preventing it from damaging in any way people or equipment. Within this aim, an important object of the present invention is to eliminate the harmful effect of the magnetic field generated by 50-Hz emissions, such as for example the emissions of high-voltage electrodes (380 Kv) for transfer or of low-voltage electrodes such as ordinary lines at less than 1000 volts used in civil power distribution. Another object is to provide a device which is easy to apply and highly flexible in application. Another object of the present invention is to provide a device whose elimination potential is adjustable, optionally automatically, according to the application. Another object of the present invention is to provide a remediation device which is absolutely safe both for the operator during application and for persons or objects after installation. Another object of the present invention is to provide a device which can be manufactured with conventional technologies and equipment and at competitive costs. This aim and these and other objects which will become better apparent hereinafter are achieved by an electromagnetic remediation device for low- frequency emissions, characterized in that it comprises, in a first hollow body made of corrosion-resistant metal and associated with a metallic pile shoe, a wave collector element made of noble metal which is connected, by means of a progressive spiral, to an electronic capacitor, said collector element, said spiral and said capacitor cooperating to form a base resonator circuit which is tuned to the electromagnetic wave to be converted, associated with at least one permanent magnet with which it is adapted to form a wave inverter in opposition to the waves emitted by the source object, a metallic strap being associated with said first body and being adapted to surround said source object of application and arranged in the focus of disruptive interference between the field emitted by said source object and the field emitted by said wave inverter. Brief description of the drawings Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become better apparent from the following detailed description of an embodiment thereof, illustrated only by way of non-limitative example in the accompanying drawing, wherein the only figure is a partially sectional orthographic protection view of a remediation device according to the invention. Ways of carrying out the Invention With reference to Figure 1, an electromagnetic remediation device for low-frequency emissions according to the present invention is generally designated by the reference numeral 10. The device 10 comprises, in a first hollow body 11 which in this case is made of stainless steel and is associated with a metallic pile shoe 12 which is also made of stainless steel, a wave collector element 13 made of noble metal (typically 1000/1000 pure silver) which is connected by means of a progressive spiral 14 to an electronic capacitor which is generally designated by the reference numeral 15. The collector element 13, the spiral 14 and the capacitor 15 cooperate to form a base resonator circuit which is tuned to the electromagnetic wave to be converted and is associated, in this case, with at least one and preferably two permanent magnets 16, with which it is suitable to form a wave inverter in opposition to the waves emitted by the source object (not shown) of application. In this case, a metallic strap 17 is associated with the first body 11 and is partially shown in dashed lines in the figure; said strap is adapted to surround the source object and is arranged in the focus of disruptive interference between the field emitted by said source object and the field emitted by said wave inverter. The device 10 is also provided, in this case, with an amplifier for the power of the wave generated by the inverter, generally designated by the reference numeral 18. The amplifier 18 is constituted by a metallic pin 19 which is inserted axially in a second tubular body 20 which is closed at its end by first plugs 21 made of insulating material (typically plastic), from which the pin 19 protrudes through appropriately provided axial holes 22. The second body 20 is composite and is constituted by a first outer metallic tubular jacket 23, in which a second inner metallic jacket 24 is coaxially inserted; in turn, a metallic spiral 25 is accommodated in said inner jacket and is crossed axially by the pin 19. A first end 26 of the pin 19 is associated with the first body 11 at the permanent magnets 16; in particular, in this case, the first end 26 is coupled by means of a screw-and-nut coupling. Another end 27 of the pin 19 is associated, by way of a threaded bush 28, with a ring 29 for connection to the strap 17. The first body 11, in this case, is elongated substantially at right angles to the second body 20. The first body 11 is further tubular and open at one end, at which it is associated with a second metallic plug 30 (typically made of iron) which is hermetic and externally knurled; at the opposite end, designated by the reference numeral 31, it tapers outward and is provided with a threaded hole 32 for coupling with a corresponding shank 33 of the pile shoe 12. The collector element 13 is constituted by a ball which as mentioned is made of 1000/1000 pure silver, while the spiral 14 is provided by means of a copper spring immersed in a conducting liquid, for example water. The electronic capacitor 15 is of the disk type, constituted by a pack of disks 34 made of conducting material which are interposed between similar disks 35 made of insulating material. More specifically, the disks 34 in this case are made alternately of copper and silver. The two permanent magnets 16 are in this case packed and substantially cylindrical. The first body 11 and the second body 20 (the jackets 23 and 24) are made of stainless steel, while the pin 19 is made of iron. In practice, operation is as follows: the emitted harmful wave is collected by means of the element 13 made of noble metal (1000/1000 pure silver), which by being connected by way of the progressive spiral to the electronic capacitor constituted by a plurality of mutually insulated disks forms, as mentioned, a base resonator circuit which is tuned to the wave to be converted. The resonator circuit is in turn connected to the emitter system constituted by the permanent magnets 16: this is where wave inversion occurs, i.e., the circuit which resonates on the frequency of the input wave collected by the pile shoe 12 varies in accordance with the magnetic field of the magnet and the vector resultant of the two forces generates a vector which is the diametrical opposite of the polluting magnetic field. This new modified field causes the spiral to be internally the seat of an induced current and therefore the source of a new wave whose frequency is equal to the input wave but is opposite and more powerful; such new wave is carried through the emitter spiral and conveyed to the strap which is rigidly coupled to the supporting pole or to a source of any kind. The focus of the system lies in the point where the metal strap surrounds the source object. The migration toward the ground of the electromagnetic waves in fact stops in this point, since their vector sum with the identical but diametrically opposite ones generated by the remediation device occurs: therefore elimination occurs. Moreover, the device emits its beneficial effect into the surrounding atmosphere as well, since it is noted that the emission is proportional to the input polluting power and therefore it is necessary to carefully assess the potential of the environmental remediation device according to the invention to be installed or to consider installing multiple units so as to utilize the sum of the energy that they develop. In practice it has been observed that the present invention has achieved the intended aim and objects. It should in fact be noted that the device according to the present invention effectively eliminates the harmful electromagnetic emission and can be set adequately with respect to the emission power. The device blocks the migration of the magnetic effect toward the ground where the piles for supporting the power lines are installed, thus avoiding its propagation in the surrounding environment, with cumulative effects of energy which is harmful for the living beings that reside in the polluted area. Attention is also called to its simple use and flexibility of application, which allow to use it in many practical situations of application. Attention is also called to the constructive simplicity of the present invention, which can be provided in various models, all of which are calibrated for the particular intended use. The present invention is susceptible of modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the inventive concept. The technical details may be replaced with other technically equivalent elements. The materials and the dimensions may be any according to requirements.
