the machine that levitated the frog was kind of large. I think the same diamaghnetic fields that repel water could, with a shaped beam, be used to ripple and vibrate the coronary arteries, producing an angioplastic effect. This would be better than invasive angioplasty.

Then again, it seems improbable.

Really ? Tell us more about this "shaped beam" ...

You don't say ...

actually one plausible way to shape a magnetic beam is the meissner effect. That is the thing that causes superconductors to levitate. so what you do is you put a thing that looks like a lightswitch plate aperture [ = ] between the big magnet and the superconductor. vaguely, the thing about the meissner effect it that the filed lines flow around, rather than through, the superconductor, causing the ability to focalize magnetism.

I'm not so sure I'm ready to have a frog magnetically manipulated through my veins.

Then again, it seems probable.

The poles might need to be adjusted a tad.

I'd never have mentioned the levitating frog* if I'd known it would spawn this idea.

(*That's not strictly true; in fact I amphibian.)

Talk about a leap of faith - I toad you so.

It could work. I remain hopful.

Angioplasty is a delicate operation - get it wrong, and you'd most likely croak ...

A typical Halfbakery idea, warts and all.
