DIY Cheap and Super Simple PEMF Magnetic Therapy Device

by mircemk

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy is a safe, and non-invasive way to reduce pain and in ammation. It can be
used to supplement and enhance currently existing healthcare modalities.

Step 1: Description

In addition, PEMF therapy improves sleep, mental focus, and the body’s overall performance by helping the energy
output and regeneration of the body’s cells.

Clinical studies have demonstrated that PEMFs are capable of:
Increasing circulation
Decreasing in ammation
Accelerating bone healing
Enhancing muscle function
Reducing the e ects of stress
Improving blood oxygenation, and much more.

Step 2: Parts

The construction of this device is based on commercial such devices that are sold at a price of several hundred to
thousands of dollars. My goal is to make the simple to build and functional device available to more people who can not
a ord it.
For that purpose, I made the device completely from ready-made modules, so that its production requires only a basic
knowledge of electronics and soldering. Thus the cost of the device without power supply does not exceed 10 dollars . It
is extremly simple and consist only a few components:
- 19V Power supply from old Laptop computer
- Potentiometer
- MOSFET Trigger Switch Drive Module
- and small signal generator module
And now a few words about making the coil:
Depending on which part of the body we use the device, di erent coils can be made.They should have inductance of
about 15 micro H. I made two di erent coils: one contains 200 winding copper wire(from 0.2 to 0.4 mm2) on an air core
with a diameter of 17 cm ,and second for a stronger and focused magnetic eld you can make a smaller diameter coil but
you have the same impedance . For example, a 8 cm diameter coil should have approximately 300 windings. You can
create a customized coil after calculations by coil calculator given oh the link below:

Step 3: Building and Schematic

It is important that the ohmic resistance of the coil should not be less than 4 ohms. Тhe intensity of the magnetic ux is
approximately 20 Gaus.
I am not a medical person and I can not discuss the e ect of the device, although I personally have many positive

experiences from using it. I can also say with certainty that low frequency magnetic elds de nitely have no negative
impact, except in people where it is contraindicated(Pregnancy,Pacemakers,bleeding,Active tuberculosis,Malignancies).
In fact, MRI imaging uses magnetic elds that are thousands of times stronger than those at PEMF and we all know that
this imaging is completely harmless. Finally, the device is mounted in a suitable plastic box coated with self-adhesive
wallpaper.
