Abstract
A pain eliminator includes a motor, a connected axle and a set of magnets. The motor spins the magnets to generate an alternating magnetic field. This field is applied, non-invasively, to reduce muscular and other deep body pains.
Claims16
A magnetic field generator especially suited to treat muscular or other deep body pains comprising:
- an electric motor having an axle capable of rotation at speeds of least 1,000 rounds per minute;
- a set of round and flat magnets each defining an interior channel extending substantially across a diameter, wherein the set of magnets are aligned so that their interior channels share a common axis;
- a shaft extending through the interior channel of the set of magnets and attached thereto, and further attached to the axle of the electric motor so that rotation of the electric motor drives the set of magnets;
- a cylindrical housing having an inner diameter greater than the diameter of any of the set of round magnets and configured to extend from the electric motor to encase the set of magnets as well as the shaft extending through the interior channel of the set of magnets;
- and
- a cap covering an outer end of the cylindrical housing.
3 more elements
A magnetic field generator especially suited to eliminate pain comprising:
- a plurality of magnets each having a field strength of at least 10,000 gauss and defining an interior channel, wherein the plurality of magnets are arranged so that the interior channel of each of the plurality of magnets align along a common axis;
- an axle extending through the interior channels of the plurality of magnets and attaching to each of the plurality of the magnets;
- an electric motor coupled with the axle and powered to drive the axle at a speed of at least 5,000 rounds per minute;
- a cover defining an internal cavity and connecting with the electric motor to enclose the plurality of magnets so that rotation of the plurality of magnets is concealed.

A method of treating body pains by application of an alternating magnetic field comprising the steps of:
- providing a magnetic field generator that comprises:
- a plurality of magnets each having a field strength of at least 10,000 gauss and defining an interior channel, wherein the plurality of magnets are arranged so that the interior channel of each of the plurality of magnets align along a common axis;
- an axle extending through the interior channels of the plurality of magnets and attaching to each of the plurality of the magnets;
- an electric motor coupled with the axle and powered to drive the axle at a speed of at least 5,000 rounds per minute;
- and
- a cover defining an internal cavity and connecting with the electric motor to enclose the plurality of magnets so that rotation of the plurality of magnets is concealed;
- activating the magnetic field generator so that the plurality of magnets rotate to generate an alternating magnetic field;
- and
- repeatedly passing the magnetic field generator over a treatment area affected by pain.
