In our previous studies, no non-contact effect was detected when the pyramidal structure (PS) alone existed and no meditator was inside. There is a possibility that the non-contact effect, periodically varying in time, may exist at the PS apex. We obtained the non-contact effect as an average value in a specific time zone. As a result, in the case of the PS alone, the non-contact effect was zero within the margin of error. There was no mistake in this result. But, there was a possibility that we had overlooked the temporal periodic fluctuation of the non-contact effect. In order to verify the periodic non-contact effect at the PS apex, we first need to understand the characteristics of gas release linked to the bio-reaction rhythm of the bio-sensor (cucumber fruit section). As a result of our new experiment, the following points were found. (1) There was periodicity between the setting time of the bio-sensor and the measured gas concentration. The periodicity of the gas concentration varied according to the season. In the summer, one cycle was 6 hours, and in winter, one cycle was 24 hours. (2) When the direction of the cucumber section was opposite to the direction of the growth axis, the average gas concentration was about 7.5 ppm (about 2%) higher than in the same direction. (p=3.8×10-2, n=1817). As a result of calculating the ratio of the gas concentration released from each surface with different directions of the cucumber section, we found that the value of the ratio changed between day and night (p=1.5× 10-6, n = 1292 in the day, n = 525 in the night).
