"Ken,
When I did my orginal work several years ago I started with 60 hz, no results
in a reasonable lwngth of time. So I setup a 555 timer to drive a CD 4027 which
drove a L 293D. With the 555 running at 6 sec the 4027 switched at 12 seconds
and the L293D follwed that.
I investigated 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 120 seconds and found the best results
can at 60 switching.

Bob,
Not sure who you are replying to, but either way, could you explain,
preferably via a circuit diagram, just what a CD 4027 and L293D are, and what
they do? Is it the "all solid state using a motor control IC for the output"
you mention in digest #1121? In thinking a bit more about it, seem to recall
that there are published details of Bob Beck's "Blood Electrifier" circuit that
includes a square wave polarity reverser which reverses 4 times a second -
should be readily adaptable.
