Abstract

An electromagnetic frequency (EMF) grounding outlet for a vehicle. The grounding outlet has a permanent magnet or magnetic pad on top of which a passenger'"'"'s and/or driver'"'"'s feet can rest or on which the person may sit. The EMF grounding outlet may be affixed to a floor or pedal of the vehicle. The North magnetic field of the magnet faces up toward the person in the vehicle and the South magnetic field faces down toward the vehicle floor.

Claims

1. An electromagnet frequency (EMF) grounding system for a vehicle comprising:

at least one permanent magnet affixed to a vehicle and at least one occupant, wherein said at least one permanent magnet has a magnetic North field on one side and a magnetic South field on an opposite side, said magnetic North field is directed up and said magnetic South field is directed down toward a floor of the vehicle and at least one body part of said at least one occupant is located adjacent to said at least one permanent magnet, for at least a period of time,

said at least one body part selected from the group consisting of feet or gluteal area, wherein said magnet grounds the at least one occupant from EMF when the at least one body part is adjacent to the magnet.

2. The electromagnet frequency (EMF) grounding system of claim 1 wherein said at least one permanent magnet is affixed to the floor of the vehicle.

3. The electromagnet frequency (EMF) grounding system of claim 2 wherein said at least one permanent magnet is removably affixed to the floor.

4. The electromagnetic frequency (EMF) grounding system of claim 1 wherein said at least one body part is adjacent to said at least one permanent magnet when the vehicle is on.

5. The electromagnet frequency (EMF) grounding system of claim 4 wherein EMF is grounded from the at least one occupant during a time while the at least one body part is adjacent to said at least one permanent magnet.

6. The electromagnetic frequency (EMF) grounding system of claim 1 wherein the at least one occupant is the driver of the vehicle.

7. The electromagnetic frequency (EMF) grounding system of claim 1 wherein the at least one occupant is a human.

8. The electromagnetic frequency (EMF) grounding system of claim 1 wherein the at least one occupant is an animal.

9. The electromagnet frequency (EMF) grounding system of claim 1 wherein EMF is grounded from the at least one occupant during a time while the at least one body part is adjacent to said at least one permanent magnet.

10. The electromagnet frequency (EMF) grounding system of claim 1 wherein said magnetic north field penetrates said at least one body part of said at least one occupant.

11. An electromagnet frequency (EMF) grounding system for a vehicle comprising:

at least one permanent magnet affixed to a vehicle and at least one occupant in said vehicle, wherein said at least one permanent magnet has a magnetic north field on one side and a magnetic south field on an opposite side, said magnetic north field penetrates at least one body part of said at least one occupant, and said magnetic South field is directed down toward a floor of the vehicle, wherein the magnet grounds the at least one occupant.

12. The electromagnet frequency (EMF) grounding system of claim 11 wherein said at least one permanent magnet is affixed to the floor of the vehicle.

13. The electromagnet frequency (EMF) grounding system of claim 11 wherein said at least one permanent magnet is removably affixed to the floor.

14. The electromagnetic frequency (EMF) grounding system of claim 11 wherein said at least one body part is adjacent to said at least one permanent magnet for at least a portion of a time when the vehicle is on.

15. The electromagnet frequency (EMF) grounding system of claim 14 wherein EMF is grounded from the at least one occupant during a time while the at least one body part is adjacent to said at least one permanent magnet.

16. The electromagnetic frequency (EMF) grounding system of claim 11 wherein the at least one occupant is the driver of the vehicle.

17. The electromagnetic frequency (EMF) grounding system of claim 11 wherein the at least one occupant is a passenger in the vehicle.

18. The electromagnetic frequency (EMF) grounding system of claim 11 wherein the at least one occupant is an animal.

19. The electromagnet frequency (EMF) grounding system of claim 11 wherein EMF is grounded from the at least one occupant during a time while the at least one body part is adjacent to said at least one permanent magnet.
