ICES M1 - Depth of penetration

[Jacob_Abrams]

Any idea on the depth of penetration into the body (torso) when coils are stacked?I’m guess you’d have to bump up the power to increase the penetration? Question is how deep does it go?

Here are posts from @Bob, the inventor, on this topic. IIRC, he recommends power 15 on ICES M1 for hips, replacing batteries every couple of hours.

ICES questions

Bob, I am using the B5 with quad coils to treat my kidneys. Do I get enough penetration using single stack coils to effect the kidneys, or do I need to double stack?

If it works that’s great and stick with the quad coils. Sometimes though PEMF seems act a bit like acupuncture placement is more important than area, and larger needles are not necessary. Just placing a deeper field on the right point can relieve an entire area. Note: the trade-off with coils is this: more area = less depth of penetration. For the greatest depth of penetration use stacked coils, which give you only a single coil of area but 4 times the depth of penetration of the quad coil. …

Yes, the peak field intensity (and the critical parameter; dB/dt) will be increased by approximaetly 60% - 70% over a single pair of coils when you use the deep field coils, so the effective depth of penetration will be similarly increased. I think it is worth experimenting with, along with other variations on regular coil placement, intensity, etc.

Here are the most specific numbers I’ve seen posted by Bob in this regard. I’ve pulled it from the post “Minimum threshold for effectiveness”:

-“A single coil or array of coils can generally only penetrate 3-4 inches.”

-“If you stack the coils you get more penetration, about 4-5 inches, but this varies.”

-“Coils placed on opposite sides of the point of interest give the best effective depth, but usually these are least convenient for the user. But we have seen effective penetration through 10-11” of tissue when coils are used on opposite sides, such as in the case with hips."

Hope this helps!
