DIY Simple Functional Lakhovsky MWO (Multiwave Oscillator) Therapy Device

 A relatively simple and inexpensive way to make this device that is often used in alternative medicine.

  The Lakhovsky Multiwave Oscillator (LMO) is a device that was developed by Georges Lakhovsky in the early 20th century. Lakhovsky proposed this device as a form of alternative therapy, claiming it could restore the body's natural balance and promote healing through the use of electromagnetic frequencies. While his ideas and theories have been widely discredited and are not supported by mainstream science, some people continue to use his work as a basis for alternative medical treatments.

  Some of benefits according to his claim are cell revitalization by increasing the oxygen supply and the nutritional value of the blood, and activation of the body's self-healing powers and increase of the general well-being.
 

  Lakhovsky's machine worked on a different angle or principle to Rife's. It did not attack the microbes directly, but reinforced the vitality of the organism by accelerating cellular oscillation. It was intended to revitalise the oscillations of your normally healthy cells. It was therefor the reinforced organism that successfully resists the microbes and all pathogenic causes. The machine discharged high voltage that gives off electromagnetic pulses with an emphasis on producing the greatest number or widest range of frequencies/harmonics as possible, but it cannot maintain 1 steady frequency which was what Rife was doing to resonate a microbe to death.

  The Multiple Wave Oscillator machine generally consists of two parts :
   - high voltage and high frequency impulses source, usually a Tesla coil.
   - and other part are two specially designed antennas.
  First, let me explain the first part, which is the Tesla Transformer. 

Its function is to generate an extremely high alternating voltage of the order of tens and up to hundreds of thousands of volts, under the action of which a variable magnetic field is created. In his original device, Lakhovski used a Spark Gap type of Tesla Transformer, and I use a Solid State type of Tesla Transformer, because it is much more durable, simpler to make, and more compact. I want to point out a few facts, because I had reactions after making the previous device like this, with claims that it was not originally made. Namely, every Tesla Transformer in the world has its own resonant frequency, regardless of whether it is a spark gap or Solid State. In fact, it is the shape of the antenna that generates a greater number of harmonics in a wide range of frequencies. Detailed instructions for making the Tesla Transformer that I will use in this project can be found in one of my previous videos(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvmMI-EpFgg).
  In fact, Lakovski's discovery is the specially designed antennas (with Golden Ratio pattern) that act as toploads with several different capacities. 
 

Each ring of his special antenna system radiated at a different wavelength and frequency dependent upon its diameter. The different size rings would set up interference patterns between themselves, producing a plethora of harmonic frequencies at many different wavelengths. The patient would be then exposed to a "MultiWave Oscillating Field".
  Now let's test how this device behaves in real conditions:
 To analyze the signals, the easiest way for me was to use my SDRPlay SD radio with the SDRUno companion software. 

This small antenna serves to receive the emitted radiation. I will perform an analysis of the signal directly from the Tesla Transformer independently, as well as a comparison with the case when I connect Lakhovsky Antennas to it. I will repeat this test at several frequencies in the range of about 1 MHz, up to 300 MHz. The greatest potential difference is between the beginning and the end of the secondary winding of the Tesla transformer, so I will connect the antennas at those two points. The beginning of the winding is at a potential of practically 0 Volts, and at the end of the winding, in my case are induced about 50 thousand Volts. Since it is a modern SSTC powered at 30V through an isolation transformer, the risk of electric shock is very low (certainly eight during manufacture), unlike the original Spark Gap Tesla Coil used by Lakhowski, which is very expensive, it also spoils easily, and is dangerous for the patient. As I see, nowadays Spark gap Tesla coil is used by many self-builders of this type of device, probably not having enough knowledge and experience in the field of High Voltage.
 The natural resonant frequency of this Tesla Coil is about 1.3 MHz, and around this frequency the two left and right harmonics can be observed. When measuring only with a connected tesla transformer, harmonics up to 50 MHz are registered. By connecting the Lakhovski antennas, this range has been extended to over 400 MHz, and it is significant to note that in this case (with connected antennas) the number of harmonics is drastically higher, and there is almost continuous radiation at all frequencies of the entire spectrum. 

Perhaps this is not the most ideal experiment and I probably have some omissions, but with a high degree of certainty Lakhovski's claim that the shape of the antennas actually contributes to the generation of a large number of additional harmonics, so almost the entire spectrum is covered with oscillations, can be taken as correct. So we can take this claim as true, but only from a technical point of view.
 And finally a short conclusion: In general, this invention of Lakhovsky is an ordinary tesla coil, which instead of a toroidal topload, has a so-called Lakhovsky antenna, which, by the way, according to my observations slightly amplifies the field in front of it and somewhat increases the emitted frequency and number of harmonics, thanks to the the way of making the antenna.
 Of course, I am not a specialist in medicine and I will not comment in that domain at all. The idea of ​​this experiment was to examine whether at least the technical side of this device is in the realm of truth.
  SAFETY NOTE: Please do not attempt to recreate the experiments shown on this video unless you are familiar with High Voltage Safety Techniques! Direct Current even above 60V maybe lethal, even when the AC supply voltage has been disconnected due to the stored energy in the capacitors.
