Here is a simple circuit based on 555 IC that generates a pulsed magnetic field. You may use this field for pulsed magnetic field therapy. Human body is influenced by natural magnetic fields such as Earth’s magnetic field, fields due to geomagnetic storms, magnets, and magnetic rocks etc. Pulsed ELF magnetic fields (PEMFs) help cells to maintain their health (energy production, removing waste, self-repair, and regeneration) and cause motion of ions and electrolytes in cells and tissues.

PEMFs remove stress, accelerate healing, and slow aging process. Stress exhausts body and lowers the cell’s membrane potential which is usually 70 to 90 mV. The cell dies if this potential drops to zero level. A cell uses 50% of its energy to maintain this potential. PEMFs help building this membrane potential. High-intensity PEMFs (very short and strong magnetic pulses like lightning) destroy cancer cells. Suggested PEMF frequencies are between 1-50 Hz.
Here is the circuit that generates pulsed magnetic fields from about 1.5 Hz to 30Hz.
Since it’s difficult to find a suitable potentiometer, I select P1=1MΩ and P2=50KΩ initially. I also assume R1=R2=2.2KΩ. C1 is calculated as 0.88µF for max f =30Hz. Four 220nF capacitors are connected in parallel to form 0.88µF. For P1=1MΩ, min f =1.5Hz. Pulse width can be adjusted from about 1.5ms to about 31.5ms using P2. Thus, it’s possible to vary duty cycle from about 5% to about 95%, for any frequency point.
The field coil is 1.6cm in radius and has 18 turns. It has an inductance of 14.3µH. Supply current is about 0.4A when duty cycle is 5%, and it’s about 4.8A when duty cycle is 95%.
Next step is to calculate the magnetic field strength. Except along the axis, the magnetic field of a circular coil cannot be expressed in closed form. Along the coil axis,...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
