About StreamZ
“Make a difference.”
When inventor Eric Dodd first entrusted us with the StreamZ technology and the knowledge behind it, his request was remarkably simple:
“Make a difference.”
Those words have remained at the heart of StreamZ ever since.
What began with Eric's decades of investigation into magnetic fields, resonance, water, minerals and biological systems has developed into a British technology company whose products are now used by people and animals around the world.
But our responsibility goes beyond making products.
It is to protect Eric's invention, continue investigating the science behind it, and use what we learn to develop technologies that can make a genuine difference to people, animals and potentially plants.
More than thirty years after Eric began his work, that remains the simplest explanation of why StreamZ exists.
The origins of StreamZ
Born From Discovery
StreamZ didn't begin with a marketing idea to put magnets into a wearable product.
Its origins go much further back.
The technology behind StreamZ grew from the work of Eric Dodd — an inventor and independent researcher who spent many years investigating magnetic fields, resonance, water, minerals, charged particles and their possible interactions with biological systems.
Eric's interests crossed conventional scientific boundaries.
His research explored subjects including weak magnetic fields, ion behaviour, resonance phenomena and the Earth's natural geomagnetic environment.
Some of the ideas Eric investigated remain debated areas of science today, and we don't present his theoretical research as proof that every idea he explored was correct.
What matters to the StreamZ story is what those years of investigation produced.
Eric didn't simply choose a magnet and put it into a product. He developed a fundamentally different magnetic architecture.
Our legacy
The Inventor Behind StreamZ
Eric was fascinated by questions.
Why might weak magnetic fields behave differently from strong conventional magnets?
Could field orientation matter?
Could magnetic geometry matter?
What happens when charged particles move within different magnetic environments?
Could resonance occur under particular combinations of magnetic field, charge, mass and movement?
And why might a magnetic field surrounding something — rather than acting upon it from isolated points — be important?
Those questions ultimately informed the development of the technology that became StreamZ.
Rather than using conventional individual magnetic blocks, Eric developed a specialised flexible magnetic material and manufacturing approach capable of producing an unusual multi-polar magnetic architecture.
Most importantly, he designed the technology to operate circumferentially — through 360°.
Decades later, understanding exactly why Eric considered that geometry so important remains one of the questions driving StreamZ's continuing scientific research.
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
The Invention Came First
Eric's work wasn't originally driven by the creation of an equestrian band, human wristband or dog collar.
Those products came later.
The invention came first.
That distinction is important to us.
StreamZ isn't a range of magnetic products for which we subsequently created a scientific story. It grew from an unusual piece of magnetic technology developed following years of investigation.
Eric's research extended far beyond conventional magnets. He explored weak magnetic fields, resonance, charged particles, water and minerals, and the Earth's natural magnetic environment — asking questions about how magnetic fields might interact with biological systems.
Those investigations eventually influenced the very different approach he took when developing StreamZ: rather than simply placing individual magnets against the body, he developed a flexible material with its own deliberately engineered, multi-polar magnetic architecture.
The technology therefore existed before anyone decided what products to make from it.
MORE THAN AN INVENTION
A Legacy Passed On
Eric was more than the inventor behind StreamZ. He was a close family friend.
When he entrusted us with his technology and the knowledge behind it, he also entrusted us with something much harder to define: the responsibility for what happened to his work next.
His request was simple:
“Make a difference.”
Eric sadly passed away, but his work didn't disappear with him.
His original research, technical knowledge and the technology he developed became the foundation upon which StreamZ Global has continued to build.
Over time, that technology has been incorporated into products for horses, people and dogs and is now used by customers around the world.
The materials have evolved. Manufacturing has improved. Products have changed.
But the fundamental technology at their heart still traces directly back to Eric's work.
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
Continuing Eric's Work
Preserving Eric's legacy doesn't mean treating his ideas as unquestionable.
We think it means doing the opposite.
Scientific instrumentation has advanced enormously since much of Eric's original work was undertaken. Questions that were extremely difficult for an independent inventor to investigate can now be explored using measurement technologies that are considerably more accessible.
That gives StreamZ an opportunity to return to some of Eric's original questions.
We can measure the magnetic architecture he developed. We're on it!
We can investigate its physical characteristics in three dimensions. We're on it!
We can examine how its spatial magnetic field behaves with movement and distance. We're on that too!
And ultimately, we can begin asking the much bigger biological question:
Does this particular magnetic architecture produce a measurable biological response — and, if so, why?
We don't pretend that we already know all of those answers.
We intend to keep looking for them.
That, perhaps more than anything else, is how we intend to honour the responsibility Eric gave us:
Make a difference.

The Future Of StreamZ
Eric's work gave StreamZ its beginning. Our responsibility is to decide what happens next.
We are entering a new phase of research designed to understand the technology in considerably greater scientific detail — beginning with measurable physics and progressing towards the much bigger question of measurable biological response.
That work includes the development of a purpose-built system to map StreamZ's unusual magnetic architecture in three dimensions, alongside new controlled laboratory thermal studies building upon our previous published work.
Beyond physics and thermal research, we are planning controlled plant studies and want to work with universities, researchers and students to develop properly designed biological studies capable of testing the questions Eric's work left behind.
Research will also influence the next generation of StreamZ products. Alongside our established continuous-wear technology, we are developing more targeted human applications combining StreamZ with features such as compression and physical support.
We don't expect every experiment to prove our hypotheses.
That's precisely why we want to do them.
Measure. Question. Test. Develop.
