Our roots go back to the early 1900’s and involve one of the great scientists of our time – Albert Einstein. Einstein’s sister was suffering from tuberculosis and the treatment at the time was to relocate to a higher altitude. So, on doctor’s orders, she was admitted to a hospital situated high up in the Alps. Sure enough, she recovered from this illness.

Einstein was not willing to accept that mountain air is "healthier" than air at lower altitudes. Being naturally curious, he wanted to know why. In collaboration with his colleague, Conrad Habicht, they were able to measure the ion content in air. They found that there were more activated oxygen ions at higher altitudes than at lower altitudes.

With this knowledge, they collaborated on a device called a Potential Multiplier which was able to reproduce the electricity naturally occurring in air. This invention laid the foundation for the modern science of bioclimatology.

Einstein and Habicht patented the technology in 1947 and went on to form the Bentax Company based on the discovery the two men had made. Plasma Air International utilizes an improved version of this very same technology.
