It sounds awesome in theory, but you have to wonder if this would have any long-term health affects.

Depending on the field strength, I’m thinking it’s negligible. We’re already constantly surrounded by magnetic fields. I do wonder if it will affect the usual people (like those with pacemakers) who already shouldn’t go near stronger fields (like from MRI instruments).
