What is Speed of Induction?

First, let’s dispel the myth that the square wave really exists. All square waves are trapezoidal. That is to say that that it always takes time to move from no intensity to some intensity. From a human perspective, we think of instantaneous rise but that really never happens. In physics, there are several terms which mean the same or similar things, some of these are ‘rate of rise’, dB/dT (Change in Intensity over Time) and for us, we say Speed of Induction.

The final Intensity ‘B’ and the ‘Rate of Rise’ or dB/dT are extremely important in that it is the speed of induction that makes the cells in our bodies change state quickly. “Action potential occurs in excitable tissues, such as nerve or muscle fibers, when a changing resting potential reaches a firing threshold. The process of a nerve or muscle cell moving from resting potential to action potential is all or none—it either happens or does not. Membranes cannot be half open or half closed, and there is no in-between state.” ((Pawluk MD MSc, William. Power Tools for Health: How pulsed magnetic fields (PEMFs) help you (Kindle Locations 436-438). FriesenPress. Kindle Edition.))

It’s important to realize that we are the body electric and external magnetic fields of sufficient magnitude affect the cells everywhere in our bodies. Low-intensity fields have little or no effect but changing fields above a certain magnitude changing at a quick enough rate have a very real effect. “To exist in an electromagnetic world, our bodies have to be an intimate part of it. The extraordinary amount of internal electrical activity that keeps our bodies alive naturally generates its own magnetic fields. Most people assume that this electrical activity is confined to the nervous system, but the vast majority of chemical reactions in the body are accompanied by the movement of charge. When you consider that most of the fluids in the body are actually electrolytes, it is easy to see that the body is like a large battery, producing current and occasionally needing recharging.” ((Pawluk MD MSc, William.

All of our Curatron 2000 systems, including the HT (Home Therapy System) and the XP and XPSE advanced home systems and the Curatron 2000 PC and the Ultrapower 3D use what is called a square wave gated sine wave to provide the advantages of the sine wave and the performance of a fast-rising square or trapezoidal wave. See our WAVEFORM page for more detail.

Our FLASH system is an impulse system and for all intents and purposes, impulse system provides nothing but fast rate of rise because their pulse widths are very short, measured in microseconds. As we’ve said before, these impulse systems cause very fast nerve reactions and body/muscle twitching but they do not heal the underlying condition as the REAL PEMF systems do.

One of the most promising PEMF units available now worldwide is the Curatron system, designed and distributed by Curatronic Ltd. (Israel). The Curatron system generates a sinusoidal dual rectified waveform, subjected to Fast Fourier Transformation. This way the signal contains at a given time only one frequency component, resulting in a single peak at the frequency of the wave. Gating of the above waveform with a precise time window creates the pulsing frequency. The process of creating the pulse waveform, pulsing frequency, zero crossing, timing and impulse intensity is completely software controlled by the built-in computer http://www.curatron.com).

By utilizing the precise computer-controlled timing for gating of the time window, responsible for the actual pulse frequency, the maximum utilization of the energy contents of the modulated sinusoidal signal is obtained.

Very fast pulse rise time guarantees maximum electromagnetic energy transfer deep inside the tissue and cells, explaining the high efficacy for the Curatron. The strength of the PEMF generated by the coil applicators is monitored and controlled by a laser-calibrated Hall-effect sensor.
