Georges Lakhovsky, without the lore first.

This site maps the documents behind the Lakhovsky coil and Multiple Wave Oscillator: patents, library scans, authority records, contemporaneous newspapers, and the claims that still need better evidence.

What the archive can prove

Patents

There is a specific MWO patent trail.

The core U.S. document is US1962565A, filed in 1931 and patented in 1934. A later tube design appears in US2351055A.

Publications

Lakhovsky published a broad wave-and-life theory.

Library records and scans preserve titles such as La sante par les ondes, plus English and French bibliographic records.

Press

Newspapers amplified the medical claims.

LOC and Trove pages show how 1920s-1940s newspapers reported Lakhovsky's ideas, often with claims that remain unverified outside press accounts.

Why this site exists

A better answer than a sales page

Search results for Lakhovsky often mix copied patent text, modern device marketing, and unsupported therapeutic stories. A useful public resource should make the primary evidence easy to inspect, then say plainly where the record is thin.
