# How does the VIBE compare to the Magnawave for horses?

As far as the strength - the Magnawave is almost 10,000 gauss, the VIBE is 9 gauss maximum.

So no you wont see any muscle twitching in most people and you don't want or need to. Some people may feel slight tingling but as far as the strength that's the main difference is the Magnawave is much, much bigger in every way = Gauss, Size, Cost, and Complexity. What you will feel with the vibe is the results.

In the world of PEMF bigger is not better. The only people who push that are the Magnawave community and the few who sell the bigger, more expensive machines. You don't need a large magnetic strength to be effective because the theory is the energy acts like a pebble in a pond and it resonates with the water in your body, so it can travel further than the magnetic field itself. Plus, it also travels due to the electrical conductivity of the body.

Actually, almost all PEMF research has been done with very low gauss. Just research it on PubMed if you really need to deep dive.

As far as the physical size I won't get into too much technical detail but basically, the suitcase-size machines are all older technology that uses a completely different delivery mechanism. Simply put, the VIBE is an MP3 music player that uses coils instead of a speaker to deliver the energy.
