How would I make such a magnet? It looked like a twin circular affair set side by side in a container not much larger than a can of ham. It was probably electromagnetic or made with that modern alloy so I don't think that a couple of old HiFi speaker magnets will do the trick, would they? |

The field was so strong it made him twitch, so it must have been pulsed very high current electromagnetic. Or high At to be a bit more precise. Question is, what happens if you overdo it? Also I would not want to use such kit alone, affecting brain function like that I would expect to be by no means risk free. But, not being a brain sturgeon, I dont really know (I cod be wrong). Nothing from googling 'my briliant brain'? NT |

Perhaps they could be incorporated into a baseball cap Put them where they could do the most good you mean? Nice one! How about lead weighted ones in those anoraks for hoodies? So that if the magnets don't work the thump on the back of the head might. |
