Life

Lakhovsky's controversial medical

treatment invention, the Multiple Wave
Oscillator, is described as having been
used by him in the treatment of cancer.
The main circuit basically consists of
concentric rings forming electrical dipole
antennas having capacitive gaps
opposing each other by 180° (called
Lakhovsky antennas). The circuit is fed
with high voltage and high frequency
impulses from a generator, usually a
spark gap Tesla coil or Oudin coil. If set
up correctly, the unit is supposed to
create a broad band frequency spectrum
of low amplitude, covering a much
greater range of frequencies, from 1 Hz
to 300 GHz, than those of the exciting
generator (usually several 100 kHz to a
few MHz from a Tesla transformer or
several kilohertz from an induction coil).
The power of each individual frequency
in this broad band noise spectrum is very
low. In order to create more harmonics
and sub-harmonics, an additional spark
gap on the secondary side has been
found in some devices, being mounted
directly on the antenna, or being mounted
in parallel to the secondary coil.
None of the claimed benefits and effects
for health have ever been proven by
modern science.
