Hello everyone! 🙂
I'd like to share my first hopefully useful creation - a low frequency generator which could be used for arthrosis treatment. Nowadays, arthrosis is the most common desease of our time, officially incurable. But there's a doctor who found the method of curing it.
Besides its medical application, the generator can be a good example of generating and attenuating simple tone in SM.

Version 1.1 with wider range (1-250 Hz) and filter for white noise. White noise has some therapethtic effect.

This is very interesting, I wonder how to apply the frequencies to the body, is it a simple loudspeaker or a special electro-mechanical interface to be built? A.

Definitely, a special interface would let us use less volume due to its efficency, but a simple (and powerfull) loudspeaker preferrably covering low frequencies would do as well. I simply take my 6-inch PC subwoofer and put it on my knee and then rotate, trying to find some position where vibration penetrates most inside the joint. As a rule, its some of its rear plastik parts. The bigger the speaker, the better. But be careful though, as vibration can kill as well as heal.. 🙂 But there's always a risk when exploring new technologies. Today I've made some tests on myself and my knee has noticed some positive effect..

I see, cool thing, I guess the whole thing should be monitored about the risks of electrical shocks. Some treatments use THERMAL GREASE, dunno if this is the case or not. 😉

Thank you! No electrical shock hazard as we use just sound vibration, and no THERMAL GREASE is needed. 🙂

I tried this, but all I got from my speakers was a low frequency quack sound. Am I doing something wrong? The quack made me jump so much that my knee is in even more pain. 🙁

Interesting little gadjet, I was using headphones when I tried it... My head got num, lol.
I've also experienced some loud distortion noise when going under 49Hz!

Hi! I'm sorry for the cracking side-effect.. This can happen if filter/resonance is mistuned or eternal frequency of speaker mismatches generated frequency. Or the volume is too high.
Addition: try to use a device called "ButtKicker" (just Google it) instead of bass speaker - it provides more efficiency and is almost noiseless.

While there're definitely some useful vibrations and frequencies out there, be shure to Google on the dangers of vibrations which can have effect on human body or mind, before trying to apply them. Just to make sure VibroHealer not turns into VibroKiller.. 🙂

Good thing I do not have fillings for my teeth! 😀
