Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9104764A1] A method and apparatus is provided for electrically simulating magnetotherapy to a living body. The apparatus comprises a permanent magnet (17) and a coil (23) surrounding the permanent magnet (17). A voltage is applied across the coil (23) in a direction to enhance the magnetic flux in the permanent magnet (17). The coil is made of a D-block transition metal such as copper which has free electrons. The negative charge of these free electrons is thought to attract the positive electromagnetic charge of the enhanced magnetic flux so a magnetic flux can be electromagnetically transferred with the electron flow through the permanent magnet (17) and conductors (21') through terminals (3) and (5) to enable the magnetic flux to pass to and through the living body. The conductors (21') and any further conductors connected to the terminals (3) and (5) and used to make physical contact with the living body should also be of a D-block transition metal. The circuit has an output circuit (21) which will assist the flow of the magnetic flux through the living body. The output circuit has two coils (25, 27) which boost the magnetic flux to thereby assist the flow of the magnetic flux.
