Verfahren und Vorrichtung zum Verändern der Temperatur einer diskreten Materie

摘要

The invention calls for a discrete material (1) such as a gas, a liquid or a living being, to be exposed to electromagnetic radiation from a large-area irradiator (2), causing the molecules to resonate at their natural frequency and hence to become warmer. In order to lower the temperature of the material (1), the radiant energy emitted by it is extracted via a receive antenna (5), resulting in a loss in energy and hence cooling of the material. Working in an enclosed fluid-filled space, the fluid can also be included, by suitable choice of radiation spectrum, in the resonance interaction producing the warming or cooling effect.
