| 1. An electromagnetic field stimulator device for Anatomic Biophysical Chondroprotection, comprising:
means of current generation for powering at least one solenoid to generate an electromagnetic field directed on a part of
the human body including cartilaginous tissue,
wherein said means of current generation supplies said solenoid with current (i(t)) having a waveform that includes the repetition
of a linear ramp with a certain slope; said current (i(t)) causing the generation of an electromagnetic field that induces
on a control probe irradiated by said electromagnetic field, a voltage (Vin) of markedly constant amplitude during the ramp-like
linear growth period of said current (i(t)).
