Re: Square wave generator - low cost
Hi sukhoi50, I've built this unit which I continue to use it to this day with very good success.
It can also double down as a reverse polarity CS generator. Though I should add that it remains limited to small batches and so it seems better suited for emergencies and/or momentary batches. And so, I just leave the CS generator circuit portion out of it.

The first section (U1B) of the LM358 dual op-amp is a 54 (2 x 27 Volts peak per cycle) volt peak-to-peak square wave oscillator. The second section (U1A) reverses polarity and provides ±27 Volts DC output of low impedance. This delivers a Bi-Phasic, sharp rise-time output of ~4 Hz (not critical) for the biological cotton-covered, stainless-steel (or gold-plated) electrodes saturated with salt water before applying. Sharp rise-time is considered necessary to provide higher odd harmonics to the stimulus, although "rounded" waveforms will feel different.The third section is a current-limited 27 Volts DC output from a separate RCA (or 2.5mm) jack for rapid generation of excellent ionic colloidal silver in water. A three minute cycle in 8 Oz. of room-temperature water makes a ~3-5 PPM concentration.
Op-amp section U1B's 4 Hz oscillator frequency is set by C1 (0.1 uF) and R1 (2.4 meg Ohm). It is configured as a comparator with hysteresis determined by R2 (150 k Ohm). Charging and discharging of C1 is done by the 180º out-of-phase signal through R1. R3 and R4 provide a set-point 1/2 the V+ to the comparator. This insures a 50% duty cycle square wave with an amplitude of slightly less than the ~27 Volt supply.U1A, the second comparator, is used to invert the output of oscillator U1B. A ~54 Volt peak-to-peak signal will be generated between the op-amps due to their outputs being 180º out-of-phase. U1A's current is limited by potentiometer R5 (100 k Ohm) and R7 (820 Ohm) and is set to individual user's comfort.
The power indicator circuit consists of a bicolor (Red-Green) LED (CR1) and the series combination of two 18 Volt Zener diodes, D1 & D2, with power limited by C2 (22 uF, 35 Volt). This section of the device is automatically disabled when the 3.5 mm plug is inserted into its jack. Therefore the LEDs flash only when batteries sum is over ~21 Volts. If LEDs are dim or extinguished, replace with three fresh 9 Volt Alkaline batteries. C2 used as a limiter allows the LED to flicker on at 1/8 second intervals only as the square wave output reverses polarity.Users find this newer design highly satisfactory, trouble free and most efficient.

I was able to order everything from eBay with a few modification. ie, TENS pads and wires, reistors with tighter tolerances etc. The entire device can be built-up on a small project board in about 20mins.
It's so cheap to build that I usually give them away.

PS. I've used this unit for sepsis(systematic staph) and a bone infection with very good success. Others have also used it to treat candidas with very good success also. - very positive reports and seems most effective when used in conjunction with colloidal silver.
