Description:
[0001]     This patent application is a divisional application of patent application Ser. No. 10/165,648, filed on Jun. 6, 2002, confirmation number 2936, Art Unit 2856, examiner Nashmiya Saqib Fayyaz. 
     
    
     BACKGROUND—FIELD OF INVENTION  
       [0002]     The present invention relates generally to apparatus and processes that recognize and affect the structure, internal bonds, electrostatic characteristics, and electromagnetic polarization of atoms and molecules.  
       BACKGROUND—DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART  
       [0003]     Various devices are used to determine the atomic and molecular makeup of organic and inorganic substances. A gas chromatograph does this to a degree by vaporizing matter at high temperatures, and analyzing the components as they are freed from the material matrix. Many variations of spectrum analyzers are used to determine material components by using frequency reflection amplitude analysis. Magnetic resonance imaging systems create visual representations of varying organic forms by digitally deciphering interference patterns of electromagnetic frequencies applied to tissues. The science of chemistry uses reagents to determine material makeup. Infrared imaging systems use narrow spectrum light frequency sensors to see through fog. Thermal imaging systems use temperature variant sensors to see in the dark. In the animal kingdom, dolphins use advanced sonar transceiving senses to find hidden prey in the sea floor, as well as allegedly penetrate human bodies with healing frequencies. Recent evidence suggests that dogs may have the ability to “smell” cancer in humans.  
         [0004]     Simpson&#39;s U.S. Pat. No. 5,377,163 describes a broadband acoustic sonar system designed to determine the species of various underwater life forms. Though Simpson&#39;s system embodies several of the key elements of the present invention, it operates in a very narrow acoustic frequency range only, and is only designed to recognize various types of fish. In U.S. Pat. No. 5,343,443, Merewether discloses a broadband acoustic transducer which is used in various examples of prior art, and is exemplary of the types of sensors used in material recognition technologies. In U.S. Pat. No. 5,325,703, Magori discloses an apparatus and method for identifying the concentration of fuels or gases in air, by directing ultrasound through a mixture in the measuring section, and determining the speed of sound through the air/vapor mixture.  
         [0005]     The key limitations of the foregoing examples, and all other relevant prior art, is the tendency to focus on narrow segments of the total frequency spectrum, Further, prior art does not recognize the importance of classifying the amplitudes of transmitted (as opposed to reflected), absorbed, and especially active resonant frequencies as they pass through atomic structures as a primary key to defining atomic makeup. Further, prior art does not combine transmitted closed loop broadband active resonant frequency manipulation with frequency wave characteristics classification. Because of these deficiencies, no prior art system provides a means to determine the atomic and molecular makeup of virtually all ranges of matter. The present invention provides said means by integrating a full range of design elements required to both identify and subsequently affect, the atomic and molecular components of virtually all known forms of matter.  
         [0006]     Modern industry relies primarily on thermodynamic and chemical technologies to alter molecular bonds, synthesize materials, and create alloys. Yet, it has also long been understood that frequency waves in ranges from subsonic to microwave and beyond can have profound effects on matter. Wind moving over bridges in precise resonant waves can cause them to come apart. Atomic explosions have shown that the radiated wave outputs of fission chain reactions can shut down electrical devices from great distances. Microwave ovens, magnetic resonance imaging, laser beams, and the classic example of a high “C” note shattering a glass are more benign examples of the molecular recognition and transformation effects of resonant frequency induction effects known in prior art.  
         [0007]     Narrow range molecular configuration recognition and transformation technology is exemplified by Paul Gourley&#39;s real-time laser reflection biopsy “smart knife” used for precise surgical applications. Stan Myers patents on splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen with focused frequency waves demonstrate additional molecular transformation technology. Infrared lights have long been used as therapeutic tools for relief of muscle pain. Plants use photosynthesis to “transmute” or transform organics and photons into nutrients. Canadian inventor John Hutchison has demonstrated dramatic effects on matter following complex electromagnetic frequency and voltage induction—effects that range from levitation to structural crystalline transformations. Another example of the underlying capabilities of frequency manipulation is sound neutralizing technologies that transmit an exact sonic inverse waveform at an incoming sound wave form to eliminate the sound wave.  
         [0008]     Space, water, and land based transportation systems have been primarily dependant on fixed-point propulsion source technology since their inception. A wheel connected to a vehicle contacts a small area of a given surface, and a rotational force is applied to the wheel to effect movement of the vehicle. Propellers, as with wheels, convert force into movement of a vehicle through a relatively small surface area of contact with the surrounding medium. Rocket and jet engines use an assortment of fuels that are directed at an outlet or venturi to create thrust. Once again, a large amount of energy is focused through a small area to move a vehicle. This is not an efficient approach for long range, high speed interstellar vehicles. Nicolai Tesla disclosed various methods of inducing electrical effects in matter, as did Townsend Brown in his patents on high voltage capacitive propulsion systems. Neither of these inventors, however, provided a specific tool set or methodology to advance the state of the art in planetary or space vehicle propulsion to a functional level. The present invention provides the tools and means to create orders of magnitude greater power to weight ratios over the prior art, and orders of magnitude greater net thrust that is applied in a directionally controllable manner to the entire surface of a vehicle. Furthermore, the invention utilizes the medium surrounding said vehicle as a primary component of said thrust.  
         [0009]     In the medical arena, gamma ray and radio telemetry surgical systems such as the “x-knife”, a radio telemetry gamma radiation tool, use focused frequency beams to cauterize, vaporize, or otherwise affect tissue structures. These tools, while effective to varying degrees, have disadvantages in that they are designed around specific narrow frequency ranges. The present invention will define an apparatus that provides tunable, multiple frequency, and focused depth composite wave outputs to affect tissues in extremely precise ways, with a fraction of the amount of energy required to effect tissues relative to other means.  
         [0010]     In the area of toxic waste elimination, typical approaches involve sealing dangerous compounds in glass shells, or burying the materials in deep caves. This is about as effective as sweeping a scorpion under a rug. Eventually the scorpion will crawl out and sting someone. The present invention will define an apparatus to transform a radioactive or otherwise toxic compound into an inert substance. Further, it will also provide tools and techniques to increase the radioactive output of a “spent” nuclear fuel.  
         [0011]     In the area of food and medicinal plant cultivation, it has been advantageous to control the rate of growth of various parts of plants and their roots. The use of applied frequency waves to produce these effects is gaining popularity, but the current processes used to define the appropriate waves to create a desired effect are time consuming and limited. The present invention defines an apparatus that provides a means to expedite the identification and generation of frequency waves designed to enhance plant growth. Similarly, the invention will also define an apparatus that provides a means for hormone stimulation in humans and animals—effects that are currently achieved with ingestible or injectable drugs.  
         [0012]     In the area of defense and law enforcement, research has been ongoing to develop means to neutralize the effectiveness of guided missiles and other “smart” weapons, as well as stop vehicle operational capabilities from a distance. The present invention provides the underlying tools to develop such means—without requiring nearby atomic bomb blasts.  
         [0013]     Though it might seem that the wide range of technological arenas, and the associated prior art that have been heretofore described are unrelated, they are, in fact, ultimately related. This will be clarified by the core description, and the ensuing additional embodiment descriptions of the present invention. There is a need for an apparatus that provides a technological foundation for system development and deployment of devices that both identify and subsequently affect the atomic and molecular components of virtually all known forms of matter. The present invention as described herein provides that foundation.  
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
       [0014]     The primary objective of the present invention is to provide apparatus and processes which generate and use resonant frequency wave effects to modify the structural, electrostatic, electromagnetic, electrical, radioactive, atomic weight, and co-valent bonding characteristics of matter. Further, said apparatus and processes are also intended to identify the components of matter in real, and/or near real time. The present invention focuses on manipulating all segments of the frequency spectrum, and  combines  the classification of transmitted, reflected, absorbed—and especially  active resonant  frequencies—as they pass through atomic structures, with  closed loop frequency feedback  generation and modulation techniques. This combination of techniques and technologies is the key to the effectiveness of the various embodiments of the present invention.  
         [0015]     Another objective of the present invention is to produce directionally controllable electro-magnetically polarized fields in solid, liquid, or gaseous media that interact with electro-magnetically polarized vehicle surfaces to allow high-speed, highly energy efficient, planetary and inter-planetary space travel. The present invention is capable of achieving this objective by utilizing the entire surface area of a vehicle and the adjacent medium surrounding said vehicle as thrust producing elements to maximize power to weight ratios. Inducing a magnetic field in media that are normally non-magnetic is known in several areas of prior art. Eddy current generators use a spinning magnet to induce magnetic fields in aluminum and other metals. Static electrical generators, the principle of which can be simply demonstrated by combing one&#39;s hair and having the hair be attracted to the comb as it is pulled away—provide other means to induce attractive and repulsive forces.  
         [0016]     Another objective of the present invention is to provide a means to focus and dramatically amplify the release of energy naturally embodied within matter. The atomic bomb is one example of a massive energy release of matter that is catalyzed with a very crude trigger—a directed explosion that rams one radioactive material into another. Similar levels of energy release—both productive and destructive—can be achieved in a much more subtle way with a lot less noise and unwanted radioactive by-products. Fission based nuclear reactors are an example of applied energy capture from molecular instability. The present invention will provide the capability to reactivate the radioactive output from “spent” nuclear fuel rods, as well as modify and reduce the half-life cycles of said rods. Further, the invention may also enable the use of other materials as fuel sources in nuclear reactor style energy producing environments.  
         [0017]     Another objective of the present invention is to provide a means to transmute dangerous compounds into non-toxic media, such as neutralizing waste products remaining from nuclear fission power production, or toxic waste resulting from chemical manufacturing. The present invention will effect these transmutations with a minimum amount of power consumption.  
         [0018]     Another objective of the present invention is to provide a means to produce new alloys of similar and dissimilar elements such as metal-plastic bonds and fusions, as well as cellulose-plastic compounds in solution, and an almost infinite array of other novel metal and elemental compounds.  
         [0019]     Another objective of the present invention is to provide a means to expedite the identification and generation of frequency waves designed to enhance plant growth. Similarly, the invention will also define an apparatus that provides a means for hormone stimulation in humans and animals—effects that are currently achieved with ingestible or injectable drugs. Further, the apparatus will provide a means to stimulate genetic triggers in biological organisms to provide predetermined cellular modifications.  
         [0020]     Another objective of the present invention is to provide a means for splitting water into its hydrogen and oxygen subcomponents so that the hydrogen components can be efficiently used in internal combustion engines.  
         [0021]     Another objective of the present invention is to provide the capability to neutralize triggering and guidance systems in missiles and other “smart” vehicles. Similarly, if a goal was to remotely trigger the explosion of landmines buried over a large geographic area, the present invention may be used to generate a resonant pressure wave capable of activating the detonation mechanism of said mines. These properties of the present invention are examples of its usefulness in precisely tailoring electrostatic and electromagnetic properties of frequency waves to emulate those that are crudely generated and radiated during a nuclear explosion.  
         [0022]     Another objective of the present invention is to provide non-lethal weapons for—hopefully—defensive purposes—by affecting the nervous systems of biological organisms at a distance, and over a large geographic area. For example, if it were necessary to cause a platoon of soldiers to enter a state of uncontrollable seizures, or lose control of their bowels, the effects may be achieved with a combination of frequencies generated by the invention.  
         [0023]     Another objective of the present invention is to provide induced “weightlessness” effects in solid objects, and allow large scale shaping of said objects. There has been much speculation as to the methods used to construct many of the buildings of the ancient Earth. The pyramids and many other megalithic structures were built of materials which not only had to be moved great distances from their quarry sites, but were finished with a level of precision arguably unmatched by today&#39;s methods of construction engineering. The technologies provided by the present invention may also be used to produce “tools” to induce anti-gravity effects in matter, as well as cut and shape large materials precisely.  
         [0024]     The present invention utilizes controlled multi-spectrum frequency generation, transmission, and induction to catalyze changes in atomic and molecular structures. Single, or combinations of, electronically generated frequencies spanning the sound, light, radio, and electromagnetic wavelength spectra, as well as certain combinations of base frequencies, frequency amplifications, inversions, dissonances, and harmonics, are used to achieve the desired results. The invention integrates broadband frequency generators, transducers, broadband frequency sensors, broadband programmable parametric equalizers, polarity sensors, spectrum analyzers, and computers, to determine the atomic structure of a given organic or inorganic substance to a given molecular depth. A set of “active” resonant frequencies relevant to said substance are defined, and an appropriate set of broadband frequency waves are then generated, combined, and applied to a substance through transducers to achieve a desired result.  
         [0025]     The invention as described herein has many advantages over prior art solutions. The uses of the invention include highly efficient interstellar spacecraft propulsion systems, hazardous waste elimination systems, efficient electricity production, and health enhancement of biological organisms. A more complete understanding of the present invention, as well as further features and advantages, will be obtained by reference to the following detailed description and drawings. Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in the dependent claims.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION  
       [0031]     Our local planetary system, and especially our planet Earth, is fueled and electro magnetically balanced primarily by the sun, our nearest star—which may be metaphorically classified as a broadband frequency generator powered by a nuclear reactor. At the current point of evolution of the solar system, most forms of inorganic matter are congealed into well defined elemental structures. The organic and sentient life forms present on Earth are organized into molecular forms that continue to evolve, but at a relatively slow pace. At other times in the formation of this sector of the universe, the interactions between the planets and stars catalyzed much more rapid formations and transmutations of the various structures of matter. Magma that escapes from the Earth&#39;s core may be a current example of primordial planetary gelatin.  
         [0032]     The periodic table of elements maps both the differences and similarities between forms of matter. All atomic elements are comprised of observable, quantifiable numbers of sub-components including protons, electrons, and neutrons. While the sub-components may be identical, the arrangements of said sub-components differentiate one atomic element from another. Further, the arrangements of combinations of elements differentiate one molecule from another.  
         [0033]     The preferred embodiment of the present invention as shown in  FIG. 1  is intended to classify atomic and molecular structures by applying frequency waves drawn from the full range of the electromagnetic frequency spectrum to atomic and molecular structures, and classifying the characteristics and changes of the transmitted, reflected, absorbed, and especially  active natural resonant  frequency waves as a result of said application. The present invention may then be used to affect and modify said structures with both  open and closed loop frequency  feedback by manipulating said full range of the electromagnetic frequency spectrum, and applying said modified transmitted, reflected, absorbed, and especially  active natural resonant  frequency waves to said atomic and molecular structures.  
         [0034]     It is well known that molecular structures can be affected by simple combinations of frequencies to achieve a simple result. Crystal can be shattered with the application of a “high C” audio tone. But if the goal were to melt or vaporize the crystal, the present invention may be used to activate and transmit a different base frequency combined with an assortment of multi-order harmonics, frequency inversions, and dissonant frequencies. Further, if the goal were to make the crystal float in the air, a completely different set of effects applied to the crystal and the surrounding medium may be required to be output by the invention.  
         [0035]     In the preferred embodiment of the present invention as represented by the flow chart in  FIG. 1 , a material analysis chamber  2  is provided as an elongated box configured to house a removable specimen-positioning element  4 , an array of broadband frequency transmitting transducers  6 , an array of broadband frequency receiving transducers  8 , and an array of broadband frequency receiving transducers  10 . Said receiving and transmitting transducers are mechanically coupled to the interior of material analysis chamber  2 , and are well known in prior art, so there is no need to go into specific detail of their makeup herein.  
         [0036]     Transducers  10  are mounted interstitially around broadband frequency transmitting transducers  6  to sense reflected frequency waves  9  that radiate back from specimen  20  following generation of broadband frequency waves  3  by frequency generator  7 , including any magnetic field radiation. Material analysis chamber  2  may have exterior solid steel walls, but its interior should ideally be rendered frequency neutral with internally mounted sound and light deadening material such as black anechoic foam backed by surface mottled and pocked Mu-metal.  
         [0037]     Removable specimen-positioning element  4  may be configured as a frequency neutral container able to hold solids, fluids, or gasses. This may be a clamp, cup, tube, or closed vessel as required. The inherent capabilities of the invention allow both the recognition and frequency neutralization of the removable specimen-positioning element  4  through frequency analysis and feedback settings. An opening in chamber  2 , continuing into removable specimen-positioning element  4 , may be provided to allow an electron-tunneling microscope  14 —or similar test instrument—to be used to observe the effects of the invention on any given specimen  20  restrained by element  4  in real time.  
         [0038]     Broadband frequency generator  7  is maintained outside of material analysis chamber  2 , but electrically coupled to transducers  6  and capable of generating variable amplitude single or multiple broadband frequency waves  3  from DC to gigahertz ranges and above—combined with single or multiple harmonics and dissonances in said frequency ranges at variable amplitudes. Transducers  6  are configured to transmit and project the broadband frequency waves  3  provided by generator  7  at and through any specimen  20 . Frequency receiving transducers  8  and  10  are configured to sense any transmitted frequency  12 , and reflected frequency  9  that either pass through, or are rejected by, any specimen  20 .  
         [0039]     Frequency receiving transducers  8  and  10 , and frequency transmitting transducers  6 , may be configured as an array of multiple segments, each optimized for certain parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. However, the combined capabilities may include every frequency, or combinations of, base frequencies, harmonics, inversions, and dissonances spanning the subsonic, sound, light, radio, and other electromagnetic wavelength spectra.  
         [0040]     Spectrum analyzer  17 , which is electrically coupled to transducers  8  and  10 , as well as computer processing system  15  through an electrical connection  22 , performs an analog to digital conversion, as well as frequency amplitude analysis, on said frequency waves  3 ,  9 , and  12 . Hardware and software spectrum analyzers, as well as computers, are well known in prior art, so there is no need to go into great detail on these components.  
         [0041]     Computer processing system  15  is electrically coupled to generator  7  through an electrical connection  22 , and may incorporate a real time software component  11  coded to specify and modify any frequency waves and amplitudes of said wave outputs of generator  7  and the frequency waves  3 ,  9 , and  12  sensed by transducers  8  and  10 . This type of software is used in prior art as automatic feedback reducing controls in microprocessor-based stage sound equipment to eliminate feedback from a performer&#39;s microphone. The type of software coding and level of detail in software reconfiguration to convert said software to be used in the present invention is not significant, and therefore not necessary to describe in detail. In a simplified embodiment of the present invention, these changes may also be “tuned” by analog style control  19 —electrically coupled to generators  7  through an electrical connection  22 —which may be a graphic equalizer set well known in prior art.  
         [0042]     The combination of spectrum analyzer  17  and system  15  is configured to quantify the absorbed, reflected, and transmitted, single or multiple frequency waves  3 ,  9 , and  12  created by generator  7  and sensed by transducers  8 , and  10 . Since the output of broadband frequency generator  7  is known through the setup of system  15 , the frequencies absorbed by specimen  20  can be determined by algorithms embodied within the software component  11  of system  15  that adds together the reflected and transmitted frequencies in all spectra and subtracts them from the total applied broadband frequency.  
         [0043]     A closed loop frequency feedback data set  16  is created by retransmitting only the absorbed frequency waves  13  defined by system  15 , and classifying the resultant changes in the associated reflected and transmitted frequency waves  9  and  12 . Said data set  16  is configured as a software subset of database  5  of “active natural resonant” frequencies that can be created for any given specimen  20 . The active natural resonant frequency makeup of the atomic and molecular structure of a specimen  20  can then be defined by comparing the resultant data quantified by computer processing system  15  with its resident atomic and molecular identification lookup-table data set  18  within database  5 . Data set  18  may be continually enhanced as effects are observed and quantified, and changes in any frequency waves  3 ,  9 ,  12 , and  13  which are output by generator  7  and transducers  6  are catalogued and altered to affect any specimen  20 .  
         [0044]     Database  5  is structured as a continuously updateable database whose fields expand and records enlarge to encompass all atomic structure change data following frequency inputs generated by frequency generator  7  toward a given specimen  20 . Said data includes magnetic polarity changes, proton, neutron, and electron number and radiation shifts, and all spectral analysis changes following said shifts. The algorithm required for building database  5  is suited to a “neural net” configuration, wherein a software program is designed to “learn” from its data inputs to generate new relevant data.  
         [0045]     Related algorithms are known in prior art, so further detail is unnecessary. The required formula allows that a desired atomic change result is defined as a target at the end of a variable set drawn from classification of the known proton, electron, and neuron makeup of elements in the periodic table. Frequency waves are applied per the apparatus and methods described within the embodiments of the present invention, and observed atomic changes are classified in a database matrix associating input waves with output results. Database  5  may expand arithmetically or logarithmically as active resonant frequencies are defined, and the associated changes in transmitted, absorbed, and reflected frequencies are catalogued and applied. For example, to vaporize a piece of aluminum, it may be necessary to combine three base frequencies with fifty levels of harmonics, layered in non-uniform amplitudes, and coupled with multi-level shifted adjacent spectra, as well as an overdriven inverted base frequency wave combined with other dissonant frequency components to achieve the desired results. An example of a typical “N” variable learning algorithm presented by the University of Texas at Arlington, Department of Engineering, is as follows:  
         [0046]     Basis functions for a neural net are the inputs, hidden unit outputs, and the constant  1 . These can be stored in the random vector x, which has dimension N u =N+N h +1. Here, N is the number of network inputs, N h  is the number of network hidden units, and M is the number of network outputs. Thus x is the input vector, augmented by a constant and by hidden unit outputs. The inner product of the ith unit with the jth unit, following the definition of Papoulis (in Probability, Random Variables, and Stochastic Processes, McGraw-Hill, 1965, p. 220), is 
 
&lt; x   m   , x   j   &gt;≡E[x   m   ·x   j ]
 
 which is approximated as  
         E   ⁡     [       x   m     ·     x   j       ]       ≈       1     N   v       ⁢       ∑     p   =   1       N   v       ⁢           ⁢       x   pm     ·     x   pj               
 
 where x pm  denotes the mth unit&#39;s output for the pth pattern and N v  denotes the number of training patterns. Letting t i  and y i  respectively denote the desired and actual ith outputs of a neural network, the training error for the ith output is  
             E   i     ≡     E   ⁡     [       (       y   i     -     t   i       )     2     ]         =     &lt;     (       y   i     -     t   i       )         ,       (       y   i     -     t   i       )     &gt;   ≈       1     N   v       ⁢       ∑     p   =   1       N   v       ⁢       (       y   pi     -     t   pi       )     2               
       where   ⁢           ⁢     y   i     ⁢           ⁢   is       
         y   i     =       ∑     m   =   1       N   u       ⁢         w   o     ⁡     (     i   ,   m     )       ⁢     x   m             
 
 Using inner product notation, the norm squared of x and the norm of x are respectively ||x|| 2 =&lt;x,x&gt; and ||x||=[&lt;x,x&gt;] 1/2 . 
 
         [0047]     Those frequency waves  3  that are absorbed by a specimen  20  are its “active natural resonance” fundamental frequencies. “Overdriving” the amplitude of said frequencies with respect to the base rate of absorption using frequency generator  7 , may result in the disruption of electrostatic and electromagnetic bonds within the atomic structure of specimen  20 —in turn resulting in effects including crystallization, melting, shattering, and other state changes of the material. Further, the addition of frequency inversions, harmonics, dissonance, and offsets of said “overdriving” frequencies, to said overdriving frequencies, may result in electrical polarization effects which may be applied to effect magnetic propulsion, and catalytic material bonding and alloying. Combinations of the foregoing functions may allow transmutation effects.  
         [0048]     For any material or specimen  20 , there is a “key” fundamental active natural resonance frequency which may be manipulated and augmented by the present invention to catalyze modification of the molecular structure. In the case of complex molecules, including organic tissues, there is a hierarchy of atomic elements which determine the mechanics of transmutation. Initially altering a single specific molecular or atomic structure within a specimen  20 , and concurrently altering the ensuing applied frequencies, may then propagate state changes in all the associated structures. For example, if a molecule is comprised of ten atomic elements arranged in a particular way, modifying the polarity of the third most prevalent atomic element in the molecule will have a different effect than modifying the first most prevalent—and vice versa.  
         [0049]     By manipulating all segments of the frequency spectrum, and applying  open and closed loop frequency feedback  generation and modulation effects to the transmitted, reflected, absorbed, and especially  active natural resonant  frequency feedback data set  16  frequencies as they pass through atomic structures, atomic electromagnetic and structural changes may take effect. By classifying the changes—and rate of changes—in the reflected and transmitted frequencies, it may be possible to adjust the applied active frequencies to catalyze continuous, partial, or compound atomic and molecular changes. Arrays of frequencies  3 ,  9 ,  12 , and  13  that may induce desired results in a specimen  20  are specified by system  15 , and loaded back into broadband frequency generator  7  by system  15 . Generator  7  energizes transducers  6  and the required modification of a specimen  20  may then be achieved by this closed loop frequency feedback mechanism.  
         [0050]     The atomic structure recognition and modification apparatus as presented in  FIG. 2  is similar to that embodied in  FIG. 1 —except that no material analysis chamber is used. Numerical indicators relevant to apparatus elements used in  FIG. 1  which are also used in  FIG. 2  are maintained in  FIG. 2 . New elements are given new numbers. In this embodiment, a closed loop frequency feedback mechanism is described wherein a second frequency generating means  27 , electrically coupled to system  15  and transducers  26 , may be included, and said combination configured to transmit and project single or multiple frequency waves  21 , combined with frequency inversions, and single or multiple harmonics, inversions, and dissonances of said frequency waves at variable amplitudes, at a given point in space separated from, but relative to the physical location of a specimen  20  to provide a resonant inverse barrier wave  28  tuned to create a frequency reflection effect in any ambient environment  24  surrounding said specimen  20  such that any transmitted frequency waves  12 , output by transducer  6 , that pass through said specimen  20 , may be returned to, and sensed by transducer  10 .  
         [0051]     Prior art includes technologies which cancel sound waves and other frequency waves (radar jammers) by projecting a frequency wave set designed to negate another frequency wave set. Using a similar yet enhanced approach, the present invention utilizes a precisely structured wave set transmitted by frequency generator  27  that, in conjunction with the frequency transmission, absorption, and reflection characteristics of a given ambient environment  24 , acts as a “frequency mirror” to reflect frequency waves propagated by frequency generator  7  back through transducers  10  to spectrum analyzer  17  to increase the transmitted frequency wave  12  data relevant in database  5  to the composition of any specimen  20  which is located within ambient environment  24 .  
         [0052]     A frequency generator  27  may also be controlled by system  15  to create a frequency neutral “buffer” zone where frequency generator  7  outputs have no effect. In this usage, generator  27  may be configured to transmit and project single or multiple frequency waves  21 , combined with single or multiple harmonics, inversions, and dissonances of said frequency waves through transducers  26  at variable amplitudes, at a given point in space separated from, but relative to the physical location of a specimen  20  to provide a neutral polarity buffer zone effect within a resonant inverse barrier wave  28  to allow a controlled ambient disconnection to exist between a specimen  20  and the ambient environment  24  by at least the space of one full atom or molecule during operation of the present invention. This effect may be especially useful in the spacecraft, land mine elimination, missile tracking and elimination, and sentient organism affecting methods presented in the present invention descriptions and claims.  
         [0053]     The embodiments of the present invention as illustrated in  FIGS. 1 and 2  are intended to allow observation of complex resonance effects provided by combinations of frequencies on many types of materials. Additionally, many matter transmutation effects may also be achieved including negative or positive electrostatic or electromagnetic, polarization in a solid, liquid, or gaseous specimen  20 , as well as crystallization, state change, transmutation, and atomic or other sub-component alterations. The range of effects and the level of accuracy of the present invention are predicated on the resolution of the frequency generators  7 , and  27 , and transducers  6 ,  8 ,  10 , and  26 , as well as the depth of resolution of database  5  for the structure of any specimen  20 . The computational horsepower of computer system  15  is also not trivial. Since the invention is intended to provide real time atomic structure identification and manipulation, it is imperative that the computational portion of the system be configured for said purpose. State of the art computers may be powerful enough to satisfy the computational requirements of the present invention.  
         [0054]     The atomic structure modification apparatus as presented in  FIG. 3  is similar to that embodied in  FIG. 2 —except that the effectiveness of said embodiment is limited to those specimen  20  materials for which a known active resonance frequency feedback data set  16  has been loaded into generator  7 . Numerical indicators relevant to apparatus elements used in  FIGS. 1 and 2  which are also used in  FIG. 3  are maintained in  FIG. 3 . New elements are given new numbers. This embodiment may be especially useful in the spacecraft, land mine elimination, missile tracking and elimination, organic growth stimulation, and sentient organism affecting methods presented in the present invention descriptions and claims.  
         [0055]     In this embodiment, an open loop frequency transmission mechanism is described wherein a frequency generating means  7 , electrically coupled to transducers  6 , may be included, and said combination configured to transmit and project single or multiple absorbed frequency waves  13 , combined with frequency inversions, and single or multiple harmonics, inversions, and dissonances of said absorbed frequency waves  13  at variable amplitudes, at a given point in space separated from transducers  6 , but relative to the physical location of a specimen  20  to modify the atomic and molecular characteristics of said specimen  20  within an ambient environment  24 . A handle assembly  23  is provided so that an operator may aim the apparatus.  
         [0056]     The embodiment of the present invention as illustrated in  FIG. 3  is intended to allow many matter transmutation effects including negative or positive electrostatic or electromagnetic polarization in a solid, liquid, or gaseous specimen  20 , as well as crystallization, state change, transmutation, and atomic or other sub-component alterations. The range of effects and the level of accuracy of the present invention are predicated on the resolution of the frequency generator  7  and transducers  6 —as well as the depth of resolution of active resonance frequency feedback data set  16  which is internally loaded within said generator  7 .  
         [0057]     Though the system description of the present invention is presented as straightforward apparatus in  FIGS. 1 and 2  and  3 , achieving the desired matter classification and transmutation results are predicated on following an extensive path of research while using the present invention as a tool set. Additionally, the present invention provides the tool set foundation that allows for the development and refinement of “fixed” resultant technologies that will provide the specific devices, effects, and capabilities disclosed in the description of other related embodiments presented in the present invention descriptions and claims.  
         [0058]     In many circumstances, it may be necessary to use the present invention to create a “Catalytic Transmutation Propagation Wave” for applications such as long range missile guidance system destruction, remote land mine detonation, weather modification, etc. Said “Catalytic Transmutation Propagation Wave” is most easily defined as an effect similar to mixing hardener with acrylic resin, or mixing two epoxy components together. When a primary atomic or molecular structure is targeted for modification, a frequency wave set built on frequency waves  3 ,  13 , and outputs from frequency feedback wave data base  16  is generated that, when applied to said structure, initiates a cascading component, electromagnetic, or electrostatic shift that results in a total change of the targeted media from an initial frequency wave burst. The effect continues until dissipated through a change in ambient media, or introduction of a cancellation frequency wave set. This “Catalytic Transmutation Propagation Wave” structure is also a key capability of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.  
         [0059]     The preferred embodiment of a surface propulsion vehicle or spacecraft drive in accordance with the present invention as shown in  FIG. 4  will provide a unique form of vehicle propulsion, the speed of which is not necessarily limited by the speed of light, but only limited by the true structure of the universe itself. Light is merely a sub-component of three dimensional realities, so therefore it cannot in itself define any structural limitation of the dimension. The actual speed limit is defined by the true dimensional structure itself, which is still being determined and understood. The wide range of observable frequency spectra clearly categorize light as a multiple and/or harmonic extension of sound. Sound does not set any speed limits of matter, so why should light? 
         [0060]     The design philosophy behind this embodiment of the present invention combines standard airfoil, magnetic field induction and propagation, and electric motor design. In a typical airfoil, a high pressure area and a low pressure area wrap a controllable surface to provide lift and direction for a vehicle. The required lift is generated by the shape of the airfoil and the speed of the vehicle through the air. In an electric motor, power is generated by applying interactive magnetic fields to two separate surfaces. In the present invention, lift and direction are created by inducing a magnetic field in a surrounding medium to emulate high and low pressure zones around an electromagnetically polarized vehicle shell, which emulates an airfoil. The combination emulates an electromagnetic drive operational in liquid, atmospheres, and in free space.  
         [0061]     Inducing a magnetic field in media that are normally non-magnetic is known in several areas of prior art. Eddy current generators use a spinning magnet to induce magnetic fields in aluminum and other metals. Static electrical generators, the principle of which can be simply demonstrated by combing one&#39;s hair and having the hair be attracted to the comb as it is pulled away—provide other means to induce attractive and repulsive forces.  
         [0062]     The present invention in  FIG. 4  as described herein is a combination of several subsystems—many components of which are identical to those in the embodiments referenced by  FIGS. 1 and 2 —however, different numbers are assigned to the components in  FIG. 4 . A vehicle, having an exterior shell  32  and a vehicle interior  33  is provided. Said shell  32  may be symmetrically configured about two perpendicularly intersecting axes. This vehicle shell  32  may also devoid of any perpendicularly intersecting surfaces, such as a spherical or ovoid shape.  
         [0063]     A magnetic field generator  31 , capable of inducing either negative or positive electromagnetic polarization within a given medium, is integrated into the surface structure of vehicle shell  32 . Magnetic field generator  31  may be powered by an energy source  34 , which may be either alternating or direct current, but self contained within said vehicle shell  32 . Said magnetic field generator may be an electromagnet or induction magnet array, or vehicle shell  32  may also be constructed of a magnetically polarized material which needs no additional external polarization from a magnetic field generator  31 , but simply interacts with polarized fields in the surrounding medium  30  as generated by the present invention.  
         [0064]     An open and/or closed loop frequency feed back system as described in the embodiments of the present invention referenced to  FIGS. 1 and 2  may be used as the core of the surrounding medium polarization means described in this surface propulsion vehicle application. A series of broadband frequency generators  37 ,  38 , and  39  are fixedly mounted within the interior  33  of vehicle shell  32 . Power source  34 , which may be either alternating or direct current, and self contained within the interior  33  of said vehicle shell  32 , provides electrical energy to operate frequency generators  37 ,  38 , and  39 .  
         [0065]     Frequency generator  37  is mechanically coupled inside vehicle interior  33 , and electrically coupled to transducers  47  though an electrical conduit  57 , and capable of generating single or multiple frequency waves  44  from DC to gigahertz ranges and above—combined with single or multiple harmonics, inversions, and dissonances in said frequency ranges at variable amplitudes. The resultant frequency waves  44  are projected through transducer/antennae array  47  at given points in space separated from, but precisely relative to, the surface of vehicle shell  32 , at and through any surrounding medium  30 . Said transducer/antennae array  47  is electrically coupled to frequency generator  37 , and mechanically coupled inside vehicle interior  33 .  
         [0066]     In the context of the present invention as illustrated in  FIG. 4 , one or more frequency generator  37  means, as well as one or more transducer/antennae arrays  47 , may provide the capability of transmitting one or more frequency wave  44  combinations to multiple areas simultaneously, of a surrounding medium  30  to induce negative or positive electrostatic or electromagnetic, polarization waves  42  in a liquid or gaseous surrounding medium  30 .  
         [0067]     Frequency receiving transducer/antennae array  48  is configured to sense any transmitted and reflected frequencies that both pass through, and are rejected by, any surrounding medium  30 . Said transducer/antennae array  48  is electrically coupled to spectrum analyzer  40  through an electrical conduit  57 , and mechanically coupled inside vehicle interior  33 .  
         [0068]     Spectrum analyzer  40 , which is electrically coupled to transducer/antenna array  48 , as well as computer processing system  35 , performs an analog to digital conversion, as well as frequency amplitude analysis, on said frequency waves  44 . Hardware and software spectrum analyzers, as well as microprocessor based computers, are well known in prior art, so there is no need to go into great detail on these components.  
         [0069]     Computer processing system  35  is electrically coupled to a frequency generator  37 , and may incorporate a real time software component  41  coded to specify and modify the frequency waves  44  and amplitudes of said wave outputs of a frequency generator  37 . This type of software is used in prior art as automatic feedback reducing controls in microprocessor-based stage sound equipment to eliminate feedback from a performer&#39;s microphone. The type of software coding and level of detail in software reconfiguration to convert said software to be used in the present invention is not significant, and therefore not necessary to describe in detail. In a simplified embodiment of the present invention, these changes may also be “tuned” by analog style control  58 —electrically coupled to generators  37  through an electrical conduit  57 —which may be a graphic equalizer set well known in prior art.  
         [0070]     The combination of spectrum analyzer  40  and system  35  is configured to quantify the absorbed, reflected, and transmitted, single or multiple frequency waves  44  created by generator  37 , output by transducer/antennae array  47 , and sensed by transducer/antennae array  48 . Since the output of broadband frequency generator  37  is known through the setup of system  35 , the frequencies absorbed by surrounding medium  30  can be determined by algorithms embodied within the software component  41  of system  35  that add together the reflected and transmitted frequencies in all spectra and subtract them from the total applied broadband frequency.  
         [0071]     A closed loop frequency feedback data set  45  is created by retransmitting only the absorbed frequency waves defined by system  35 , and classifying the resultant changes in the associated reflected and transmitted frequency waves. Said data set  45  is configured as a software subset of database  55  of “active natural resonant” frequencies that can be created for any given surrounding medium  30 . The active natural resonant frequency makeup of the atomic and molecular structure of a surrounding medium  30  can then be defined by comparing the resultant data quantified by computer processing system  35  with its resident atomic and molecular identification lookup-table data set  50 . Data set  50  may be continually enhanced as polarization effects are observed and quantified, and changes in the frequency waves  44  output by generator  37  and transducers  46  are catalogued and altered to affect the magnetic polarity in any surrounding medium  30 .  
         [0072]     Database  55  is structured as a continuously updateable database whose fields expand and records enlarge to encompass all atomic structure change data following frequency inputs generated by a frequency generator  37  toward a given surrounding medium  30 . The basic algorithm for building database  55  is similar to a “neural net” configuration, wherein a software program is designed to “learn” from its data inputs to generate new relevant data. These algorithms are known in prior art, so further detail is unnecessary. A desired result is defined as a target at the end of a variable set drawn from known core effects observed following the application of active resonant frequency waves  52 . Database  55  may expand arithmetically or logarithmically as active resonant frequencies are defined, and the associated changes in transmitted, absorbed, and reflected frequencies are catalogued and applied.  
         [0073]     Those frequencies that are absorbed by a surrounding medium  30  are its “active natural resonance” fundamental frequencies. “Overdriving” the amplitude of said frequencies with respect to the base rate of absorption may result in the disruption of electrostatic and electromagnetic bonds within the atomic structure of surrounding medium  30 . The addition of frequency inversions, harmonics, dissonance, and offsets of said “overdriving” frequencies, to said overdriving frequencies, may result in electrical polarization effects which may be applied to effect magnetic propulsion. For any surrounding medium  30 , there is a “key” fundamental active natural resonance frequency which may be manipulated and augmented by the present invention to induce magnetic polarization of the molecular structure.  
         [0074]     By classifying the changes—and rate of changes—in the associated reflected and transmitted frequencies, it may be possible to adjust the applied active frequency waves  44  to catalyze continuous polarization changes. Arrays of frequencies that may induce desired results in a surrounding medium  30  may then be loaded back a frequency generator  37  by system  35 . Generator  37  then energizes a transducer/antennae array  47  and the required modification of a surrounding medium  30  may then be achieved by this closed loop frequency feedback mechanism.  
         [0075]     Prior art includes technologies which cancel sound waves and other frequency waves (radar jammers) by projecting a frequency wave set designed to negate a particular wave set. Using a similar yet enhanced approach, the present invention provides a means to project such a precisely structured wave set transmitted by a frequency generator  38 . Said waves are constructed in conjunction with the known frequency transmission, absorption, and reflection characteristics of a given surrounding medium  30 , to act as a “frequency mirror” reflection wave  51  defined by database  55 .  
         [0076]     Frequency generator  38  is configured to establish said frequency mirror reflection wave  51  by generating and transmitting single or multiple frequencies, combined with single or multiple harmonics, inversions, and dissonances at adjustable amplitudes, and projecting the resultant frequency waves  52  at given points in space separated from, but precisely relative to, the surface of vehicle shell  32 . Said frequency waves are output through transducer antennae array  46 . Reflection wave  51  insures that frequencies transmitted by a frequency generator  37 , and absorbed or transmitted by surrounding medium  30 , will be reflected back to the frequency sensing transducer/antennae array  48  for classification by database  55 .  
         [0077]     Since the output of broadband frequency generator  37  is known, and the qualities of the reflection wave  51  are known, the atomic qualities of the surrounding medium  30  can be determined by classifying the reflected frequencies as a function of the amplitude differentials, and the speed of return and distance traveled in multiple directions through surrounding medium  30 . To determine the frequencies absorbed by surrounding medium  30 , neural net algorithms embodied within the software component of computer processing system  35  assess the differences between the reflected active resonant wave components and transmitted frequency waves  44  in all spectra and relate them to the total applied broadband frequency.  
         [0078]     A third frequency generator  39  may also be utilized to create a neutral “buffer” zone barricade wave  53  where frequency generators  37  and  38  outputs&#39; have no effect. Frequency generator  39  is also capable of generating and transmitting single or multiple frequencies, combined with single or multiple harmonics, inversions, and dissonances at adjustable amplitudes, and projecting the resultant frequency waves at given points in space separated from, but precisely relative to, the surface of vehicle shell  32 . Said frequency waves are output through transducer antennae array  49 . In the context of the present invention as illustrated in  FIG. 4 , frequency generator  39  will provide a barricade wave  53  to create a neutral polarity buffer zone within a surrounding medium  30  to allow a controlled depth force disconnection to exist between the vehicle shell  2  and the surrounding medium  30  during operation of the present invention.  
         [0079]     Neutral polarity buffer zone barricade wave  53  separates the polarity of the vehicle surface from the polarity of the surrounding medium by at least the thickness of one full atom or molecule so that the vehicle is always in a state of “chasing the carrot” and “running from the enemy”—the carrot being the attraction polarity of the surrounding medium, and the enemy being the repulsive. For example, if the vehicle shell  32  were charged positive, and the surrounding medium  30  above the vehicle were charged negative while the surrounding medium  30  below the vehicle were charged positive, and the physical depth of total charges within said surrounding medium  30  provided enough net force to overcome the any gravity effects on the vehicle, the vehicle would take off straight up like a proverbial bat out of hell.  
         [0080]     An electrical or mechanical “electromagnetic field” positioning system  43  is integrated into the vehicle interior  33  and electrically and mechanically coupled to any or all of frequency generators  37 ,  38 , and  39 , and configured to automatically, or allow an operator in seat assembly  54  mounted in inertial damper  56 , to orient the waves generated by said frequency generators  37 ,  38 , and  39 , about multiple axes relative to, and at precise distances from, the surface of the vehicle shell  32 . Transducers  46 ,  47 ,  48 , and  49  may be mounted in dodecahedron shaped vehicle shell transducer mounting plate  29 . The full surface of vehicle shell  52  may be covered with transducer mounting plates  29 , however, for simplicity,  FIGS. 4 and 5  show only two transducer mounting plates  29 .  
         [0081]     Computer processing system  35 , which is electrically coupled to frequency generators  37 ,  38 , and  39 , and spectrum analyzer  40  through an electrical conduit  57 , may be capable of interpreting all frequency wave data provided by spectrum analyzer  40  through transducer/antennae array  48 , and using said data to modify the frequency outputs of all frequency generators  37 ,  38 , and  39 , and transducers  46 ,  47 , and  49 , in real time. Further, all frequency generators  37 ,  38 , and  39 —which are electrically coupled through electrical conduit  57  to transducers  46 ,  47 , and  49 —may perform exactly the same functions as one another if needed. Transducers  46 ,  47 , and  49  may also perform exactly the same functions as one another if needed.  
         [0082]     As a broadband frequency burst is directed at a gaseous or surrounding medium  30  by all frequency generators  37 ,  38 , and  39 , and transducers  46 ,  47 , and  49 , the wave spectra reflected, absorbed, and transmitted by surrounding medium  30  are sensed by frequency receiver transducer/antennae array  48 . The outputs of said receiver transducer/antennae array  48  are fed to spectrum analyzer  40 , which then outputs digital frequency makeup data to computer system  35 . The data are compared to an elemental and atomic identification lookup table within database  55 . Arrays of frequencies that will induce the desired polarization effect in surrounding medium  30  are then defined by system  55 , and uploaded into frequency generators  37 ,  38 , and  39 . Frequency generators  37 ,  38 , and  39  are energized with power source  34  and the required polarization effects on a surrounding medium  30  may then be achieved.  
         [0083]     Another embodiment of a surface propulsion vehicle or spacecraft drive in accordance with the present invention is shown in  FIG. 5 . This vehicle configuration is vastly simpler that that presented in  FIG. 4 , however, numerical designations for identical parts are retained in  FIGS. 4 and 5 . This embodiment is useful for travel in known planetary or open space regions where the electromagnetic polarization requirements for the vacuum borne molecules, atmospheres, or liquid environments are known through prior analysis with an embodiment of the invention presented in  FIGS. 1, 2 , or  4 . A vehicle, having an exterior surface shell  32  and a vehicle interior  33  is provided. The vehicle shell  32  may be fabricated from passive, naturally electromagnetically polarized materials such as rare earth magnets. It may also be configured from any other man made material with permanent electromagnetically polarized characteristics.  
         [0084]     One or more frequency generators  37  are mechanically coupled inside vehicle interior  33 , and electrically coupled to one or more transducer/antennae arrays  47 . Arrays of frequencies that may induce desired atomic or molecular component polarization effects in a surrounding medium  30  are preloaded into one or more frequency generators  37 .  
         [0085]     Generator  37  is capable of generating single or multiple frequency waves from DC to gigahertz ranges and above—combined with single or multiple harmonics, inversions, and dissonances in said frequency ranges at variable amplitudes. The resultant frequency waves are projected through transducer/antennae array  47  at given points in space separated from, but precisely relative to, the surface of vehicle shell  32 , at and through any surrounding medium  30 . Said transducer/antennae array  47  is electrically coupled to frequency generator  37 , and mechanically coupled inside vehicle interior  33 .  
         [0086]     An electrical or mechanical “electromagnetic field” positioning system  43  is integrated into the vehicle interior  33  and electrically and mechanically coupled to frequency generators  37 . System  43  is configured to automatically, or per the control of an operator in seat  54 , to orient the waves generated by said frequency generators  37  about multiple axes relative to, and at precise distances from, the surface of the vehicle shell  32 . If the vehicle shell  32  were natively charged positive, and the surrounding medium  30  above the vehicle were charged negative while the surrounding medium  30  below the vehicle were charged positive, and the physical depth of total charges within said surrounding medium  30  provided enough net force to overcome any gravity effects on the vehicle, the vehicle would take off straight up like a proverbial bat out of hell.  
         [0087]     It is to be understood that the embodiments and variations shown and described herein are merely illustrative of the principles of this invention and that various modifications may be implemented by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
