Abstract:
Even weak electric and magnetic fields have been found to cause interaction effects in vitro only within small frequency ranges. The existence of such "frequency windows" may be explained by a cyclotron resonance model which also takes the influence of the earth's magnetic field into consideration. In this paper analytical relations are developed which permit the determination of energy uptake and motion curve diameter. On the basis of this calculations it can be concluded that, giving consideration to interparticle interactions and the limitations of motion curve dimensions due to the limited dimensions of cells and cellular interspaces, energy uptake in vivo is many orders of magnitude below thermal energy, and can therefore be neglected.
