Build a Low cost & simpleMagnetic Pulser
CategoriesElectromedicinePractical HealthFor those who are interested in building their own Magnetic pulser to use with theBeck protocolfollowing is my updated post.
Also note dehydrated patients may not respond well to any type of therapy!WARNING: This is an experimental device and uses 110Volt AC mains voltage, buildat your own peril. If not comfortable, have a someone familiar with electronics like aTV repairman build it for you. Do not use 220 V AC without appropriatemodifications!Well finally, I have got all the wrinkles out my prototype SCR Thumpy. And my newcircuit has definitely got the power. You can actually feel an electric current pulsewhen used in the neck area - uncanny! This is subtle however. The only thing I havenot got around to do is make it automatic - it still uses a press button to trigger the pulse. I don't like the auto types as the body gets habituated with non random pulses -hence have to come up with a random pulser circuit one of these days.To calculate the output energy use the following:Formula: W=(CE^2)/2W=energy in joules: C = Capacitance in farads: V = Voltage across Capacitor involts# capacitors #Joules5* 296 357 41*Present circuit. Any SCR with PEAK current of at least 600 to 1000 amps should work. The oneshown is 20 amp continuous with the appropriate peak rating. The lamps act ascurrent limiters and protect the SCR against a short circuit. The circuit can be further simplified as discussed in point 3 below.I have build several of these and my experience has been:
 
1) The capacitors develop a memory and don't fully discharge its better to use anumber of them in parallel. This reduces the internal resistance and provides a better result and less memory loss. The caps must be designed for flash applications.2) The flash tube heats and develops some resistance so you need to have enough time between flashes for them to cool down. This has been eliminated in my circuit.3) Using a high current SCR (this forces the caps to fully discharge by providing alonger connection than the strobe) and parallel caps from disposable cameras I cannow consistently get 12 - 18 inch with #14 fender washers. And you can cycle themvery fast (though not recommended). All for less than $30 Cdn. The most expensive part is the coil which can cost as much a $20 unless you build it yourself! One canfurther reduce the cost if at a latter date you don't want to upgrade to auto pulsing.This can be accomplished by removing the 10k resistor and the SCR and simplywiring the a push to close switch in line to the coil. Don't recommend this unless you just can't get an SCR or really need to reduce cost. MAKE SURE THE PUSHBUTTON SWITCH CAN HANDLE THE CURRENT AND IS MECHANICALLYROBUST!More info regarding other coils options etc. is available at:http://www.keelynet.com/biology/thumind.htmIf you do make the circuit I would love to hear how it turned out.

 Coil winding instructions from Dr. Beck's paper are:"Junk VHS videocassette reels are cheap, plentiful and adequate for this application.Remove 5 screws from shell, remove reels and discard tape. Be SURE alternativespools (if used) are non-conductive or system will not work. Avoid shorter lengthVHS tape reels which may have center hubs larger than 1" dia. and won’t holdsufficient wire. Drill 3" holes through hub and through center of flange(s). Make two4" discs from 3" thick plastic or fiberboard, drill 3" center holes and another 3" holeoff-center so coil's inside lead wire can be pulled through. These 'stiffeners' willsandwich reel's flanges so they won’t warp or split as wire pressure builds up whilewinding progresses. A 2" (or longer) 3-20 machine nut and bolt with washers throughcenters will clamp flange stiffeners and reel and also provide a shaft to hold in avariable speed drill motor or similar winding device if used. Then remove bolt andstiffeners.Specifications: Completely fill tape spool with #14 or 16 enameled copper magnetwire (130 to 160 turns) wound onto the 1" dia. hub and 3-2" OD spool with a gapwidth for wire of e". Scrape enamel insulation 2" from ends and tin. Pull inside end of magnet wire through hub and stiffener and to outside. ~130 turns (about About 1-2#should fill spool. Remove bolt, stiffeners, and finished coil. Now solder ends of 3 ft of heavy two-wire extension cord to each side of coil. Finished coil weighs ~1 LB 3 oz,has ~0.935 millihenry inductance, 0.34 W resistance, and takes ~20 minutes to hand
