Multiple Wave Oscillator: Standard version replica

THE BV2 MODEL – STANDARD VERSION REPLICA

Georges Lakhovsky’s Multiple Wave Oscillator is one of the historical electrotherapy devices whose history is riddled with speculation and rumours. It is often claimed that original Lakhovsky Multiple Wave Oscillator devices could efficiently treat cancer and rejuvenate the body, being the cure for all, a sort of electrotherapy panacea. Georges Lakhovsky himself wrote that in some cases they cured some forms of cancer and other diseases. He also wrote that in other cases, usually the later stages of a disease, they did little to help the condition. As for the claims of rejuvenation, photographs said to show treated patients still exist from that period. Those are the historical records, not claims we make.

The original Lakhovsky Multiple Wave Oscillators

Over the past few decades, there have been numerous attempts to recreate the original Lakhovsky machine (MWO). Some Lakhovsky machines from these efforts are quite inventive and imaginative. However, despite rumours of their medicinal effectiveness, they were all just educated guesses about exactly how the device worked.

It all changed in 2009, when several original, still-functional BV2 model Lakhovsky Multiple Wave Oscillators were discovered in Italy. Two curious engineers, Bruno Sacco and Tony Kerselaers, meticulously analysed and reverse-engineered those devices. They published their findings in the e-book “The Lakhovsky Multiple Wave Oscillator Secrets Revealed”, which can be found on their website. We highly recommend that anyone interested in historical materials on Georges Lakhovsky’s original Multiple Wave Oscillator read this e-book thoroughly. The e-book is the most reliable source of historical and technical data on the original Lakhovsky oscillators.

Lakhovsky Multiple Wave Oscillator Replicas

In 2012, based on the reverse-engineering report, we produced our first Lakhovsky Multiple Wave Oscillator replica, which closely matched the specifications of the original BV2 model. We modelled all Multiple Wave Oscillator design elements using 3D CAD software. This let us quickly modify the design to address real-world problems encountered during machining and assembly. All electrical components, such as contactors, high-voltage capacitors, a high-voltage transformer, and high-voltage wiring, are selected to ensure at least twice the nominal rating required for reliable operation of the device, thereby extending the lifetime of the components.

Have you compared the standard and heavy-duty versions of the Lakhovsky Multiwave Oscillator replicas we make? Our replicas are intended exclusively for exhibition, educational and research purposes. They are not medical devices.

The historical device was practically never operated at excessive power output, and effluvia was deemed detrimental to the device’s proper operation (as it turns out, with good reason). We employ protective circuitry and limit the maximum output power to the values documented for the original device. This ensures the longevity of the components, and the device operates within the parameters documented for the original. It is possible to readjust the circuitry to maximise power output, but we see no rational reason to do so.

We use custom-made steel modular racks to house the internal circuitry. The enclosure’s rugged design protects users from accidentally touching the high-voltage components. It also protects the components from accidental physical damage. We are confident our Multiple Wave Oscillator replica can withstand the most severe impacts. Individually removable panels allow quick access to the main components of the internal circuitry. Because of the enclosure’s modular design, it is possible to retrofit the Lakhovsky MWO replica with additional circuitry and instruments upon request.

The V-type spark gap used in the original Lakhovsky Multiple Wave Oscillator models BV1 and BV2 is suited for continuous operation in spark-quenching mode because of the electrodes’ larger surface area.

We take special care in building Lakhovsky Multiple Wave Oscillator replicas to make them aesthetically appealing (also see the heavy-duty replica version). We wind Oudin coils on precisely machined transparent acrylic tubes. Please note that, although frequently confused, the original MWO uses the Oudin coil design rather than the Tesla coil design. These tubes ensure precise winding spacing and a mechanically compact design, giving the coils a modern look. In addition to the acrylic varnish coating on the coil surface, another transparent acrylic tube encloses the entire coil, protecting it from accidental mechanical damage and preventing electrical corona discharge.

We mount the sub-circuits on separate modules. This design considerably simplifies assembly, testing, modification, and component replacement. Based on our experience with the initial design shown in the photos and the video below, we have further improved the main parts. Since our entire coil assembly design is easily replaceable, we can now manufacture separate coil modules that produce the desired set of resonant frequencies. As a result, users can make additional coils tuned to different resonant frequencies, allowing them to experiment with different resonant-frequency relationships simply by replacing coils.

The treatment procedure using the original Multiple Wave Oscillator devices often required specially designed handheld implements and a footpad. Such accessories were usually placed in direct contact with or in close proximity to the treated region of the body and were used to shape (“focus”) the geometry of the oscillating dielectric field. These accessories were integral to the original Lakhovsky Multiple Wave Oscillator, which is why each replica set includes them.

For a Multiple Wave Oscillator replica to operate safely, users must ensure adequate electrical installations and earthing (grounding), follow safety precautions, and comply with EMI/RFI regulations. We do not accept any liability for any injury, loss, or damage that may occur due to improper use of the replica.
