I will do my best to explain what I ant but it may change as I gather more information.
The following paper relates to a study on electromagnetic fields (mainly those less than the natural background)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4154392/
I noticed a few things that sisnt sit very well with some other papers of equal weight, mainly the issue of C2+ (sorry cant find superscript). Some plants particularly certain Brophites and mosses in peat bogs have little Calcium and even less in the +2 state. Due to the highly acidic nature of there media Calcium isnt a major factor.
Cutting several papers very very short, I got a hunch its more to do with the same pathway that C2+ is a part of. So I would like to experiment and look into this, I have access to my dads old Biology lab and all the equipment he had.
My problem is I do little with AC voltages and so setting up the experiment is outside my knowledge.
What I would like to do is use a high voltage field (low current) and study the effect on the merystem cells of the root tips. So how would I go about producing say 10KV at low current and high frequency, its mainly the frequency I want to alter. The paper suggest the resonant frequency to be 100KHz but I would like to go from 100Khz to around 250KHz.
Obviously I could use a flyback for the voltage but how best to alter the sign-wave frequency?? I am not sure of the current but would probably start around 50mA. Any pointers gratefully received! I am more digital than AC so not sure how to alter AC frequency.
The plants will be 3 types of bean and 4 types of Brophite
