Lindemann - clipped triangle wave blood electrifier

July 31, 2006

Researching Beck's work I ran accross the following article about

Lindemann and his work regarding blood electrification:

What's interesting about the article is he knocks Beck's 4Hz design

because of the harmonics involved with square waves (page 10-11). He

developed a new design using a " clipped triangle wave " which allows a

higher amperage without " discomfort " to the user. It is basically a

DC (godzilla) concept but switches polarity slower than a square wave

and runs at 1/2Hz.

This is the only article I've found on the web that talks about this

particular design. There are no other references to it or any

discussions about it anywhere (including this group). I'm curious if

anyone knows more about this and if someone could track down a

schematic somewhere or possibly design one.

We went back and developed a circuitry which produced a different

wave form … a wave form which caused the reversals of current to

happen much more slowly than you would see in a square wave. We called

it a " clipped triangle wave " where you've got a very slanting side. In

other words, it takes a lot of time for the wave to change polarity

instead of letting it go to a peak and dropping off again, we clipped

it off so that it had a flat plateau, a slanting reversal and then a

flat plateau. So you could call it a trapezoid wave, or a clipped

triangle.

This did not have anything like the number of high frequency odd

harmonics that the square waves had and we found that this worked very

well. We went with extremely slow reversals. We went with half a

hertz. In other words, one full cycle every two seconds. This made it

about as close to DC as you could get without a significant

polarization effect building up.

...

PL: Yep, all those things. So what we did, we attempted to come up

with a very, very slow reversal and a very, very slow reversal wait.

In the field, this device was extremely effective because now we could

apply 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800 microamperes with

complete comfort -- almost no sensations whatsoever.
