Good Day Everyone.
This my first post concerns the "diamagnetic pump" used in physiotherapy. Basically I read that this probe is able to generate a magnetic field B of 2.2 Tesla.
Considering that the power supply (single phase) of this machine does not require high power (about 2 - 2.5 kw), the maximum current flowing in the coils of the probe should be in the approximate range of 8 - 10 Ampere. I guess there are pulses current to get short bust of several thousand amps...

The alleged coil (or toroidal system) is encapsulated in a cylinder of about 6-7 cm in diameter and about 15 cm in height, connected to the machine, obviously, with "armored" cables.

I am looking for some technical details on how a magnetic field of 2.2 Tesla is produced by this probe.
Attached there are a couple of images diamagnetic pumps where the cylindrical probe is clearly visible
Thanks to everyone for your attention.
Frank.

From withdrawn European Patent Application EP18585A1:

The working hand piece (or head of treatment) is made up of a shell of paramagnetic material, and inside of it there is a winding of conductor or super- conductor material used for the generation of the electric field. Furthermore, the winding can have a variant that uses a ferromagnetic material nucleus, whose ending is almost in contact with the cutis of the person who is having the treatment. The presence of the ferromagnetic material allows to obtain, changing opportunely its structures, different combinations of the magnetic field lines. Figure 5 shows two examples of a working hand piece, and describes the case a) without ferromagnetic material (not concentrated field lines), and the case b) with ferromagnetic material (concentrated field lines). The particular curved shape of the hand piece allows to develop a double action. Besides the already described effect about the improvement of the penetration of cosmetics products, the hand piece also allows a pleasant massage action during the development of the treatment. So, a kindly action useful to soothe muscular or articular pain, to tone up the volume of some tissues, but even to preserve and to improve the psychical wellbeing, relaxing strains and tiredness.

Looks complicated.

A personal curiosity:
Does this device have any noticeable effect? As many legends circulate: some say it's good, others have abandoned the idea.

I know that living organisms have relative magnetic permeability close to 1, that is, they are not influenced by the magnetic field.
But they are strongly influenced by the electric field.

I noticed this when I was building oscillators, mW radio transmitters: I could change the length of the coil by hand during operation and the frequency does not vary significantly At then the frequency? Is it constant or does it have a frequency?

They say magnetic field and measure it in Tesla.
But here they say electric field which should be measured in V/m.
Then the frequency? Is it constant or does it have a frequency?

No idea of the medial effectiveness but powerful nonuniform magnetic fields can move internal fluids in living things so the effect could be much like deep tissue massage.

The frog turns into a grasshopper so there are some minor issue to work out. ;)
