Meet: Magnetophors

New materials are demonstrated by Tatyana Matyusheva, an employee of the laboratory of magnetophores of the Sever, Leningrad Production Association.


On the table is a strange collection: some kind of gray heavy plates, elastic bands, granules. These incomprehensible subjects are now attracting the increased interest of physicians, biologists, agronomists, builders, chemists ...


These are magnetophores (from “magnet” and “foros” - “carrying”), that is, “magnetic carriers” - an invention that has received the author's certificate No. 445438.


More than two thousand years ago, the first device using the Earth’s magnetic field, the compass, appeared. It was incomprehensible to perseverance, with which a piece of strange heavy stone all the time pointed to the north, people were surrounded by mysterious legends by a strange magnet force. They believed that he could cure any disease and even return youth. For this "treatment" the ancient doctors recommended the use of a pounded magnet - in powder and pills.


And along with such “medicines”, the guess was growing stronger: the point is not in the magnet itself, but in its mysterious “strength”, “rays” - in what we call today the magnetic field. Thus, four centuries BC, the beginnings of magnetobiology arose - a section of biophysics that studies the influence of external artificial and natural magnetic fields on living cells and whole organisms. However, the lack of scientific information, the weakness of the experimental base, the emergence of new electrotherapy pushed back the magnetobiology of science.


It experienced its new birth not long ago, when a man penetrated into space. Intensive studies of the effects on the organism of artificial magnetic fields, much stronger than natural ones, began. It is quite clear that new experiments required new tools, which, unfortunately, are not so many. After all, the bracket made of magnetized steel with two poles, known to us since school years, is intended for completely different purposes. It is much more relevant in radio dynamics or a dynamo machine than in a biological laboratory or clinic.


A traditional magnet is not flexible, either literally or figuratively. The action of his field is constant, and his lines of force obey one strictly defined system. Of course, this did not stop the work: scientists create medical devices in which permanent magnets operate. In such "hoops" they place the diseased organ, and sometimes the patient himself. There are important observations and interesting results. However, such equipment significantly restrained the search for scientists. Creating magnetophors eliminated many problems. tr.lvov.natashaescort.com
