Abstract:
A therapeutic electromagnetic treatment device adapted to interact with bodies of living organisms, comprising:a plurality of electromagnetic bodies comprising a plurality of magnetic poles substantially in a single plane; said magnetic bodies being oriented to define the four vertices of a quadrilateral shape, and each of said magnetic poles exerting a magnetic force on the other plurality of magnetic poles when said poles are electrically charged; a ferroconductor flux return ring secured to at least one of the magnetic poles;a ferromagnetic focusing ring containing a ferroconductor metal ring and a electromagnet of the same polarity as the pole attached to the focusing ring in proximity to the four poles of the quadrilateral shape; containment means for holding said magnetic poles of said magnetic bodies in said orientation; and power supply for magnetically energizing said electromagnetic bodies, said energized electromagnetic bodies, each generating a magnetic flux field,said four magnetic poles when energized together generate flux field with a sharp three dimensional gradient; andsaid ferroconductor flux return ring increasing the strength and radiant without altering the centered charge and symmetry of the three dimensional steep gradient magnetic flux field.
