PORT GAMBLE — With an excess of ingenuity and a burst of electro-magnetic energy, Dr. Glen Gordon and his company, EM Probe, are working their way to the top of the international science world.

The company’s product, the EM Pulse, was nominated for the Index Award in October 2006 by the Arlington Institute and is now in the midst of a rigorous judging process, Gordon said.

The Index Award ceremony is hosted in Denmark every year. The EM Pulse passed its first review, and now must make it through a second review and final judging.

“It’s pretty exciting,” Gordon said. “They don’t tell you the criteria they are using. They don’t tell you why it failed or succeeded.”

Each entry is judged on its design and concept and how it will revolutionize the scientific world. The Port Gamble produced EM Pulse helps heal tissue and eases pain using an electro-magnetic pulse that reduces inflammation in joints and muscles. Essentially, it allows the body heal more quickly following an injury or illness.

“I see this technology capable of assisting people in any corner of the world,” Gordon said. “It can run for 50 consecutive hours on a 9-Volt battery. When Hurricane Katrina happened, one of the biggest problems was they didn’t have power. You don’t need power when your device runs on a 9-Volt battery.”

The EM Pulse, which is about the size as a cell phone, could also be useful to soldiers, people who live in rural areas and just about anyone else whose body needs a chance to heal, he said.

Designs that pass the second review for the Index Award will be announced in late April or early May, and the finalists will travel to Copenhagen in August.
