Abstract
A ferrofluid chamber has a housing that is adapted to be coupled to a component that generates a magnetic field of sufficient strength to stimulate anatomical tissue. In addition, a ferrofluid is disposed within the housing for cooling the component.
Claims15
A ferrofluid chamber, comprising:
- a housing adapted to be coupled to a first component that generates a first pulsing magnetic field of sufficient strength to stimulate anatomical tissue;
- a ferrofluid disposed within the housing for cooling the first component, wherein the housing facilitates thermal and magnetic convection of the ferrofluid when exposed to the first pulsing magnetic field;
- and,
- a second component proximate to the housing for creating a second magnetic field, wherein the ferrofluid experiences magnetic convection when exposed to the second magnetic field.
