1. A dynamic magnetic device comprising:
- a magnetic disc having an alternating magnetic pole pattern; and
a housing configured to encase and hold the magnetic disc for rotation, wherein the magnetic disc is configured and mounted to the housing so that the magnetic disc rotates or oscillates relative to the housing upon imparting motion to the housing to generate a dynamic or oscillating magnetic field.

Abstract
A dynamic magnetic device and a method generate a dynamic magnetic field of alternating polarity when it is moved. The device has a magnetic disc with substantially an alternating polarity pattern rotatably mounted to a housing. The magnetic device is biased mounted so that when the user moves the housing, gravity or the earth'"'"'s magnetic field or both causes user-relative rotational movement of a magnetic disc with an alternating polarity pattern.

19. A housing for a dynamic magnetic device having a magnetic disc with an alternating magnetic pole pattern, comprising:
-
first and second walls for covering the magnetic disc, wherein the first and second walls are configured to rotatably maintain the magnetic disc between the first and second walls so that the magnetic disc rotates or oscillates relative to the housing upon imparting motion to the housing to generate a dynamic or oscillating magnetic field.

21. A method of generating a dynamic magnetic field, comprising the steps of:
-
providing a magnetic disc with an alternating magnetic pole pattern;
providing a housing configured to encase and hold the magnetic disc;
rotatably mounting the magnetic disc to the housing; and
moving the housing to thereby impart rotary movement to the magnetic disc to impart a dynamic or oscillating magnetic field. - View Dependent Claims (22)
