| АMany experiments having been conducted to discovery of the best types of radiation, a lamp producing sterilizing radiation was developed. The lamp has been applied to surgery, the radiation having been shown to be harmless to human flesh. By bathing the operating table in the rays it is possible to ensure sterility, its principle being the exclusion of germs in the modern operating theater.

| BAn interesting use is made of longer waves. Waves between 10 and 100 miles in length can be used to melt metals without flame. The metal is placed into a crucible (вакуум-ковш) which is inside the solenoid generating the waves. The latter being led into the metal, their absorption sets up secondary currents which result in heating the metal until it melts. The coil carrying the current remains quite cold. On the same principle it is possible to cook the dinner in a cold oven. A kettle may be boiled on ice. In the same way fish were cooked in water remaining perfectly cold.

| CVery long electromagnetic waves are also employed to examine the structure of the earth. The waves having a length of about 25 miles are sent downwards. When encountering a metallic ore body, they are absorbed and electromagnetic field is set up. This can be measured on the surface of the earth and as a result of these measurements it is possible to indicate the direction and depth of the ore. This method is often used in geophysical prospecting (разведка).
