10 at human psychological correction and mental balance recovering, as well as at the entertainments, to develop a sensitivity to art and in play-games production.

15 BACKGROUND ART

A known scenic device designed to produce lighting effects consists of a body, luminous flame generator constituted of a burner, a fuel evaporator, a combustion chamber, a fuel system and flame coloration system equipped with

20 a tank of coloring reagent. This device is equipped with a platform pivotally connected to a body supporting the above mentioned generator, the flame coloration system being equipped with coloring reagent sprayers provided at the input and/or output of the combustion chamber, and, at the least, one pressure feeder supplying a coloring reagent to the above mentioned sprayers.

25 The fuel evaporator is implemented as a conic spiral coil forming the wall of the combustion chamber and the layers of the conic spiral coil are adjoining each another. The coloring reagent sprayers are implemented in form of single injectors and/or a collector equipped with such injectors. The flame coloration system is equipped with, at the least, one extra tank, such tanks being filled with different coloring reagents. At the least one tank is filled with a coloring reagent solution, while the pressure coloring reagent feeder comprises a pump mounted on the platform. The inlet pump fitting is connected via a flexible conduit to the tank and outlet pump fitting is connected to the coloring reagent sprayer (RF patent No. 2155296, Cl.: F21S 10/00, 2000).

The design of the above-mentioned device is complex and notable for fire and explosion risk.

A known color biostimulant device comprises a composition of 4 great circles and 8 small circles. These circles are filled with equal-width rings. These rings are colored by seven basic colors varying from the red to the violet and vice versa. The diameter of a small circle is equal to the radius of the great circle. Two great circles are arranged on one of coordinate axes. Two small circles are superimposed on the great circle. (RF patent No. 2147219, A61H 39/00, 2000). The above-mentioned color biostimulant device doesn't permit to extend its technological capabilities by varying color tints and rings sizes during technological operations and to improve its efficiency.

A known method of dynamic color works development providing application of color spectrum on the color control elements for color accompanying of the music and music accompanying of the color as well as for music accompanying of the color and accompanying of the musical notes on the basis of their frequency characteristics (RF patent No. 2118556, Cl. A63J 17/00, 1998).

The color system for above-mentioned method implementation comprises color control elements, each such element corresponding to given electromagnetic spectrum frequency (RF patent No. 2118556, CL A63J 17/00, 1998).

The above-mentioned method and color system provide the accompanying of musical compositions, but they don't permit to create color compositions independently of musical octave. It results in decreasing technological capabilities of the method and system. Moreover, it makes impossible to record the color work and to reproduce it.

This invention is illustrated by the drawing where Figure 1 represents the device diagram, Figure 2 is a fragment of graphic recording of color composition and Figures 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 represent the modes for carrying out the invention; figures 8, 9 are the modes for reproduction of dynamic color work recording.

THE MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

The color system of dynamic color work development includes a color- change instrument with color control elements 1, each such element corresponding to a given electromagnetic spectrum frequency, a color emitter 2 connected to color control elements of the above mentioned color-change instrument 1. If necessary, a screen 3 may be provided to reproduce any given colors or color compositions. The image of color or color composition may be reproduced on any surfaces, for example, on the building wall, ceiling, and car, as well as in the air or on any flight vehicles. This color system is equipped with a transducer4 to transform color compositions into frequency or digital signals to be recorded on the data carriers. This transducer 4 includes frequency oscillators 21, a modem- transducer22, a magnetic recorder 23, a magnetic data carrier 24, a connection line 25, and digital signal generator 26 with filters and decoders 27. Personal computers 28, magnetic data carriers and compact discs (CD) 29, including DVD and microchips, are used to recording and subsequent reproducing.

The color control elements of color-change instrumentl are executed in form of keys, buttons, touch keys and strings equipped with contacts 17. The color light emitter consists of colored incandescent lamps, color guns, light diodes, gas-discharge lamps or laser emitters 20. The color light emitter 2 may be equipped with a galvanic battery 18 and an electronic control circuit 19.

The color system of dynamic color work development may be equipped with a radiation transducer 5 to transform the signals from the color control elements into standard frequency and digital signals to be transmitted to the color light emitter 2 or with a radiation transducer to develop a given image configuration (not shown).

A fragment of color composition recording includes a designation of record beginning 6, first record level 6, second record level 8, third record level 9, fourth record level 10, designation of green color 11, elements of red color 12, blue color 13 and green color 14, green color 15. The color chord is marked with a triangle 16.

The color-change instrument may be implemented in form of piano, guitar or other appropriate form. The color light emitter 2 generates a total well-coherent color spectrum and separate spectrum segments (for example, one instrument within a field of tints adjacent to the blue color, one other instrument being within the tints adjacent to a green color and one third instrument being within a field of tints adjacent to a red color, and in the whole three generators are included in the color system.

The radiation transducer 5 is an electronic device transforming signals directly from the color-change instrument 1 or recordings on the magnetic tape 24, digital recordings on the compact discs (CD) 29, or DVD discs 29 or in the computer storage 28, on the microchips or on the carriers of other types into electronic switches signals to operate the color light emitter 2 via a magnetic reader 30.

The color system may be implemented as an auxiliary device to the TV set, compact disk stereo cassette receiver, radio cassette player or it may be added-in a child's toy. The well-coherent tints of major colors are used as a basis of color spectrum taking into account that in the overwhelming majority of events the spectators see a direct radiation from the light source or weakly reflected indirect rays. The phenomenon of superimposed rays is used in cases of well- reflecting white surfaces 3.

A proposed major color box is represented on the keyboard from left to right as follows: brown - claret - red - orange - yellow - light-green - green - sky-blue - blue - violet, where major colors are arranged conforming to the law of color alternation in the rainbow. The color spectrum may contain much more or much less quantities of color tints depending on the tasks of perceptible expression of a color light work. This fact may affect only the quantity of color control elements in the color-change instrument 1 and color generating elements in the color emitter 2. One other factor affecting the color system dimensions is a level of brightness variation of color flow emitted by the color light emitter 2.

Each brightness level requires extra color control elements, for example, the same rows of color keys in the color-change instrument 1 (for example, 10 color keys of fourth brightness level will constitute four key rows each of 10 keys). To play music work developed by an individual performer, being a color composer, by means of color system it is necessary to perform graphic recording of the above-mentioned music work in the manner similar to music works recording.

Taking into account that the color is not music, the graphic recording completely differs from the musical notation.

To perform a graphic recording any simplest and commonly squared paper is used.

Also, it is necessary to take into consideration that the sensitivity of the ear to the rate of sound transmutation and sensitivity of the eye to the rate of color change are completely different, so the strokes of the rate of color change shall be lower at least by one degree than 24 pictures per second, being in human visual perception a continuous process. On the other part, the sources of light shall be also inertial, requiring a certain time for initial heating, ionization etc., to emit the light. Taking into account the above-mentioned reasons, the shortest color light pulse interval shall be located within an interval of one fourth of second. So, a major stroke of color light pulse may be taken as equal to one second of duration.

Any restrictions in color light pulse amplitude will not take place because it depends on the required parameters of color system, nevertheless it is necessary to be guided by effective safety facilities to provide protection from a dazzle lighting and adequate perception of color work. Then the levels from 4 to 6 six times over the light power emitted by major light sources will provide quite bright perception of color work. However, to meet the extreme needs, the level of changes in color light sources power will be multiple of a ten or more. For this purpose the keyboard of the color-change instrument 1 shall be equipped with extra keys to doubling, tripling etc., color light pulse amplitude from the upper color palette rows.

If, for example, the color light emitter 2 is one of incandescent lamps 20 of given light power, then the fourth level will correspond to four incandescent lamps of the same light power. The doubling keys pressed simultaneously with the keys of fourth level make possible to connect the power of sources constituted by 8 lamps, while the tripling keys will provide a light power of 12 incandescent lamps etc. In graphic recording the doubling, tripling etc. operations are designated as a multiplication by corresponding digitals on the vertical line. The color system is used as follows.

To develop a color work an individual performer-color composer executes a physical action on color control elements of the color-change instrument 1, for example, he presses the keys touching sensor keys or running his fingers over the strings. The contact 17 being closed, the signals emitted by the keys, buttons or strings are transmitted via a transducer 5 to a color light emitter 2 that leads to switching-on of the incandescent lamps, light diodes or laser elements 20 of corresponding color. The alternate physical actions on the color control elements result in development of dynamic color work subject to the fantasy and mood of each individual performer operating this color system. The above-mentioned may stimulate a human psychophysiological rehabilitation and improve human brain activity. A green color palette makes for relaxation, while a red color palette has a toning up effect. Graphic recording is executed in the following manner:

Record beginning is marked on a physical carrier with a triangle 6, the angle top being directed down to the point of recording start. Then a color recording is executed in form of horizontal line, where the first level 7 of brightness amplitude is recorded on the first line from the top of triangle 6; the second level 8 of brightness amplitude is recorded on the second line corresponding to 1 bit higher (this is a distance equal to 1 square on the squared paper) and then on the third line, higher by one square more, corresponding to the third level 9 etc.

The color is marked with a corresponding pencil, soft-tip pen or flat color tape.

The length of horizontal plotted line corresponds to the duration of color light pulse, which is determined as follows:

A minimum color light pulse, that is a duration up to one fourth of unit, corresponds to the length equal, for example, to one half of the square (if a squared paper is used for recording); this is a designation of red color 7, 10 and 12.in the figure 2.

A square corresponds to the duration up to one half of second; the second level 8 is designated with a blue color line, 11 - green color line. If an non-squared paper is used for recording, the blue color lines 8 and 13, as well as green color lines 11, 14 and 15 shall be respectively two times longer than the red color lines 7, 10 and 12.

- Two squares are equal to duration time up to 1 second, i.e. such lines shall be two times longer than the lines 8, 9, 11, 13, 14 and 15. A color chord to be produced by simultaneous pressing of several keys on color control elements is recorded on a vertical line where each color beginning is marked with a triangle 16 by its angle top directed upward and indicating the first level of other color which will be higher by one square than the highest level of preceding color, at that, the colors are distributed in the same consequence as it was marked early on the horizontal line from left to right, only now in bottom-up direction (brown - claret - red - orange - yellow

- light-green - green - sky-blue - blue - violet)

To recording on the data carriers 24 and 29 and subsequent reproducing color work, the frequencies outside of sound range, for example, odd frequencies of 25 kHz, 27 kHz, 29 kHz etc., may be used for each color respectively, and frequencies of. 46 kHz, 48 kHz and 50 kHz may be used for combinations of radiation intensity levels (if first level of brown color is of 25 kHz, then the second level will be 25 + 46 kHz).

At digital conversion, a bit site will correspond to each frequency, while in case of direct conversion a bit site will correspond to each color control element. The intensity levels may be represented by combinations with extra bit site (for 10 colors it is required 10 bit sites and additionally one bit site for combination per each higher level).

The advantage of this proposed invention consists in the possibility to use it in the independent operation mode and with musical accompaniment, promoting human creative activity, sensitivity to the art and stabilizing human emotional state. INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY

The proposed method makes possible to implement a new "color composer" profession and to develop dynamic pictures and compositions, which may be used in different technical applications.

The method and color system of dynamic color works development may be used in domestic applications as well as in kindergarten and schools for children entertainment and education in adequate color perception. The proposed color system will make possible to perfect children sensitivity to the art and develop skills in the work with the colors and in tints applications. This invention provides possibilities to monitoring conversion of one color into another through changes in intermediate tints. All known solutions don't reach such targets.

In professional fields the artists-operators involved in creation of new images and elaborating new special effects would successfully apply this proposed color system.

This invention may be used in medicine for different purposes of human organisms relaxation or, contrary, to help-out them of a depression state by actions with certain electromagnetic spectrum frequencies. The proposed color system is assembled using standards units and details, has a simple design, and any special skills are not required for its implementation.
