Abstract

See full text

An electrical to electromagnetic transducer for applying electromagnetic energy to damaged potions of the living body, which provides high efficiency generation of electromagnetic fields for electromagnetic therapy by directing electromagnetic radiation to the damaged body part. Electromagnetic radiation is initially generated by a dipole consisting of a bar of high permeability material wrapped with an electrically conductive coil. The dipole is placed between a conductive shield and the damaged body part. An electrical signal passes through the coil which causes a magnetic field to be generated through and around the high permeability material. The field radiation pattern of the dipole is directed toward the damaged body part by a conductive shield. Magnetic fields which are generated away from the damaged body part intersect the conductive shield and establish eddy currents. These eddy currents in turn generate magnetic fields opposite and nearly equal to the magnetic fields generated by the electromagnetic source. These resultant redirected electromagnetic fields then reinforce the electromagnetic field directed towards the damaged body part and diminish the electromagnetic field directed away from the damaged body part.
