How to get only "negative" unipolar impulses (like northpole-magnet) on a b5?

Hello all,

after reading Davis and Rawls (Magnetic Blueprint of life, etc. - you only get these books for a lot of money or from “usual sources”) - they did fundamental work on magnets and health - I had the question in my brain to use my B5 to only produce “negative” polarity pulse (in comparison with the northpole of a magnet).

My question to @Bob and you all is:
a) Can I use A9 “-100” (3rd value) pulse setting only to archive this for negative polarity pulses?
b) Do I have to watch the sides of the coil? - or does this not matter?
c) Does anyone here has experience with this?

It is important that the field produces is equivalent to a “north-pole” of a permanent magnet. And I know, because of the dB/dT it is still totally different then a permanent magnet of approx 300-600 Gauss a skin surface, whereby the penetration depth of a permanent magnet is minimal in spacial extension if the intensity is higher (e.g. Neodym N52 very bad, but AlNiCo == large).

Best,

Hi @hcf,
I am not really a fan of “North-pole only” (and sometimes I have heard “South-pole-only”) admonitions. I think these all come from, as you say, “the usual sources”. To me these claims have a certain distinctive whiff. They usually spiral off into indecipherable pseudo-scientific jargon, but on occasion when they are coherent enough, I often find myself saying “that’s definitely not how magnetism works”. So, I find these things to have very low (essentially zero) credibility, and since life has limited time, I do not invest any time trying to chase down, decipher, prove, disprove, or emulate anything related to these claims.

However, I might very well be wrong. You are a highly intelligent person, and if you decide to chase these things down, then I would be very interested to hear what you find. I do not know what secret special technical details (or imagined details) any of my products have as relates to this specific application such as edge effects or magnetic field dispersion, or anything like that, but you can get unipolar magnetic pulses as you suggest, by using specific “unipolar” pulse modes.

Unfortunately, I can not say exactly when or which mode will provide the desired “north” versus “south” pole, because ICES coils can be wound either way on our devices**, so for any specific pulse generator + one coil of a specific set of coils (the other coil in the pair will be opposite), you would need to check and verify the magnetic polarity during any of the unipolar pulse modes. For this you will probably need to use a high-speed Hall effect sensor and an o-scope (that’s how I do it).

So, it is definitely possible to do, and I would certainly want to hear the results anyone has to share if they go to the trouble to make the necessary measurements.


** Why do I not control for individual coil polarity as indicated by the bumpy sides of each of the coils? Because symmetry is assumed between N and S pulses, and there is therefore no need to control it. Could I control it? Yes, which would approximately double the cost of coils, with no benefit to customers unless they wanted to do what you are asking about. For reference, I have had one other person ask me about this several years ago. So, this specific feature is of interest to about 0.04% of people who use ICES-PEMF technology. So, the extra cost and effort is not justified IMO.

Hi @Bob

thanks for your comprehensive answer and pointing out, that I have to measure any coil I will be using in this experiment for is specific polarity. I will do tests on seeds first, to check my logic of what may be north or south in regard to the individual coil characteristics and the modified b5-A9 program.

Regarding Rawls and Davis: They did together 55 years of experiments on magnetism, seeds, plats, animals, illness, … They are for most part replicated, but their research is not much known anymore. They had a lot of patents, from which you will find some still on google patents and the like.

I think what they wrote about effects of north and south pole magnetism explains, from my view, why your series of unipolar impulses in your protocol seem to work better then using only bipolar pulses. Since you do not weight one over the other, there are balanced out in my view.

Also: “South” is not bad at all, but it can easily be missused if applied without knowledge about its effects and consequences according to Rawls and Davis. Pure north pole magnetism is safer in that regard, since it does not promote rapid growth, which may also affect bacteria and other things when not wanted.

Best,
Hans
