Abstract
A magnetic field applicator system wherein a plurality of magnets are generally fixed within an applicator base, each of the plurality of magnets having a magnetic axis at an angle different to other magnets in the plurality of magnets. The magnetic axis may be random with respect to others within the plurality of magnets. Also disclosed is a system for making the magnetic field applicator system.

A magnetic field applicator system comprising:
- an applicator base;
- a plurality of magnets in the applicator base, each the plurality of magnets having a magnetic axis at an angle different to other magnets in the plurality of magnets.
A method of making a magnetic field applicator system with a plurality of magnets each with a magnet axis different to the magnetic axis of others of the plurality of magnets, comprising:
- providing a mold with a plurality of magnet cavities;
- positioning a connector between each of the plurality of magnet cavities in the mold;
- molding a plurality of magnets in the plurality of magnet cavities in the mold such that the plurality of magnets are attached to one another by the connector and further such that each of the plurality of magnets has a magnetic axis which is generally aligned with other magnets in the plurality;
- rotating a first end of the plurality of magnets relative to a second end of the plurality of magnets such that the magnetic axis of the plurality of magnets are no longer generally aligned;
- and
- encapsulating the plurality of magnets into a magnet medium such that the magnetic axis of the plurality of magnets are not generally aligned.
A magnetic field applicator system comprising:
- a string including a plurality of individual magnets, each of the plurality of individual magnets spaced apart from and connected to another one of the plurality of individual magnets by a pliable connector;
- wherein each the plurality of individual magnets having a magnetic axis;
- and
- further wherein the pliable connector is configured such that each of the plurality of individual magnets may be rotated with respect an adjacent individual magnet on the string to a desired relative position.
