Nikken Magnetic Technology has been developed in different forms: Field Gradient Technology and DynaFlux® Magnetic Technology. Each form offers different characteristics and is adapted to the appropriate products.

Field Gradient Technology

Nikken products such as Kenko Comforters use bipole magnets, either singly or in a multiple magnet array.

The individual bipole magnets are precisely spaced. This arrangement produces a pattern of magnetic flow (flux lines) between the magnets and creates an uninterrupted field gradient — a landscape of peaks and valleys of magnetic energy that is considered ideal for a comforter.

Using spaced bipole magnets produces a surface with multiple polarity and flux, as the individual magnets create a complete flux circuit surrounding each unit.

DynaFlux^® Magnetic Technology

DynaFlux Magnetic Technology positions magnetic surfaces with the same polar orientation, either positive or negative, opposite each other at multiple points. Interlocking construction holds these components in place, overcoming the repulsion generated by this arrangement. Placing separate magnetic fields in opposition produces a multiplier effect, increasing the magnetic strength and the depth of the field.

Static magnets compared to electromagnetic technology

One feature that all Nikken magnetic technologies and products have in common is that they employ static magnets.

A static or permanent magnet is a solid material that has intrinsic magnetism. As such, a static magnet retains its magnetism permanently. Static magnets are available in a variety of strengths.

In contrast, an electromagnet relies on an electric current to produce the magnetic field. Because electricity can create a magnetic field, this effect is also found in many objects that use electricity. This alternating (instead of constant) field is responsible for what is called electromagnetic noise. Many scientists and medical authorities consider electromagnetic noise to be potentially harmful to human health.

All magnetic Nikken products rely solely on static magnets, including those which employ electricity. The electric current is not used to create the magnetic field. The safety record of static magnets is well established.

Effects

Magnetic energy is part of the natural environment for all living things. Earth’s magnetic field is also recognized as a protective barrier against dangerous radiation from space.

The precise mechanism of action of magnetic energy on the human body is unknown, although numerous theories exist. Clinical studies have indicated that magnets hold promise in the development of new, scientific approaches to many of the challenges of modern life.

Magnetic Equalizing Technology is a principle based on the fact that human contact with Earth’s magnetic field has been disrupted and attenuated by the artifacts of modern civilization. This technology seeks to counterbalance that effect, and produce an environment that more closely corresponds to the natural magnetic field that has surrounded humans for millennia.

Kenko mSteps® insoles feature energizing massage nodes, extraordinary comfort, Nikken TriPhase® Technology — and patented DynaFlux® operation that acts like a magnetic field generator inside shoes. Patented DynaFlux® Magnetic Technology places magnets in polar opposition to intensify the magnetic field. As you walk, these components change position to produce a dynamic field of energy — and the multiple angles afford 100% magnetic coverage. Exclusive TriPhase Technology adds gentle far-infrared energy and soothing negative ions, while the mSteps surface produces the refreshing sensation of a foot massage. Comfortable and strong, mSteps won’t absorb moisture or odor, are durable and long-wearing.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• DynaFlux places individual magnets in polar opposition (positive or negative poles facing each other) at several points
• Magnetic field is intensified, producing a flux path that extends farther from the surface
• DynaFlux is the only technology using permanent magnets that can accomplish this, without requiring an increase in gauss strength
• The multiple angles afford 100% magnetic coverage
• DynaFlux allows each magnet a precisely controlled degree of movement
• When applied against a surface, will cause slight shifts in angle, as the opposing magnets change position relative to each other
• Repeated action creates a dynamic magnetic field
• Exclusive TriPhase® Technology adds gentle far-infrared energy and soothing negative ions
• Raised surface points provide the refreshing sensation of a foot massage when walking, standing or sitting — all day
• Shock-absorbing material promotes increased comfort
• Low-density and high-density polyethylene is durable and long-wearing
• One pair supports wearers up to 275 pounds
