"To build a working Rife machine you need 3 main components.
- A frequency generator to create the right frequency to kill the pathogen.
- An electronics system which accepts the audio input and uses it to modulate an RF carrier and then amplifies it for output to the plasma tube.
- A plasma tube which serves as an antenna to radiate the RF signal to penetrate the body and deliver the audio signal."

"The Frequency Generators were standard ‘off the shelf’ frequency generators (radio oscillators) with the exception of ONE amplifier."

"The application of pulsed fields for therapeutic usage relies upon the ability of the body to absorb the field. Dr. Rife's Device or as some call it, a "Rife Machine" used a variable carrier frequency, pulsed radio transmitter to produce a special wave that was capable of coupling its energy to the human body.
There are several important methods that are utilized to achieve energetic coupling. One technique Dr. Rife used to make the wave of his machine couple to the body was through the use of a special antenna. Instead of using a metal antenna, Dr. Rife's instrument coupled the pulsed output from the radio transmitter to a gas filled, glass tube with closely opposed electrodes. This special tube is technically known as a Phanotron Diode. The output energy from the radio transmitter (the RF wave) caused the gas to form a plasma and then glow when in operation. One should think of a neon sign tube for a comparison. The Phanotron Diode was filled with an inert gas, or mixture of gasses such as argon, neon, or helium. Different gasses give off different colors or spectra."

"Power usage was about 450 to 600 watts. Output to the ray tube about 75 RF watts."

"Medical Product Safety Network (MedSun) monitors the safety and effectiveness of medical devices. FDA recruits 350 healthcare providers throughout the United States to report any medical device problems that result in serious injury or death. Each month, FDA publishes the MedSun newsletter. The newsletter gives consumers important information about medical device safety"
