Agriculture by Sonic Propagation
by Webster Garrison Billington
This agricultural growth optimizing process utilizes audible sound vibration in a non-audible manner. Propagation of sonic frequency ibrations by underground antennas through the soil provides optimum stimuli for healthy plant growth. The antenna are placed at sufficient depths so that they are not disturbed by the tilling of the earth.
At the University of California, Riverside, Dr Stoddard ( sp? ) discovered that by injecting oxygen into the soil, roots of plants were able to penetrate through hard ground, the so-called “hard pan”. Our experience is similar. Providing audible sound frequency range to plants, their roots gravitate downward and go through hard pan rather easily. This observation indicates that audible sound helps to oxygenate roots. Oxygen has a cooling effect on the soil, thereby decreasing evaporation losses. Sound buffers the sun’s drying effect.
Earth worm activity increases with sound vibrations. Earth worms will produce humus equivalent to their own weight in every 24 hours as well as loosening and thus aerating the soil. Ladybugs also are attracted to the plants that are grown in sound-bathed environment.

Method and apparatus for applying audible sound frequency modulated electrical signal
A method of enhancing the well being of a living organism is provided. An electrical signal is modulated at audible sound frequency. The modulated electrical signal is amplified and applied on the living organism in a non-audible manner. The modulated electrical signal can also be applied to organic products such as fruits, vegetables, fresh meat, dairy products, flowers, and the like, and perishable medical products to extend their shelf life and/or delay deterioration with little or no refrigeration.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention is related to application of signals modulated at audible frequencies, and particularly to application of audible sound frequency modulated electrical signal to enhance the well being of living organisms and other organic matter.
BACKGROUND
[0002] In historical applications of audible sound frequencies to the area of agriculture, the sounds have been applied through acoustical speaker systems. Starting with the work of Dr. T.C.N Singh at Amanalai University in Southern India in the early 1950’s and extending to the present day, extensive work has been carried out by many researchers on the effects of musical sounds applied through acoustical speakers on various forms of plant life.
[0003] It has been shown that application of music stimulates higher production of oxygen, as much as sixty (60) to a hundred percent. Since the plants’ output of oxygen is directly proportional to the food manufactured by it, the stimulated plants are able to synthesize a larger amount of nourishment than the conventional plants. The beneficial effects include earlier sprouting, larger plants, and substantially increased yield.
[0004] One great disadvantage of applying acoustic sound from the speakers to soil is the deafening noise, which is ear shattering to those near it. To mitigate the undesirable effect of loud noise, ways to apply sound to soil in a quieter manner have been explored. For example, attempts have been made to reduce the noise by burying the speakers underground to eliminate most of the noise. However, it is desirable to reduce the noise beyond that achievable through burying the speakers or other devised noise reduction schemes.
[0005] Therefore, it is desirable to develop a method and apparatus for applying audible sound frequencies to the soil without the undesirable effect of noise generated therefrom.
SUMMARY
[0006] In an exemplary embodiment according to the present invention, a method of enhancing the well being of a living organism is provided. The method includes: taking an electrical signal modulated at audible sound frequency; amplifying the modulated electrical signal; and applying the amplified electrical signal on the living organism in a non-audible manner.
