Some reports suggest that special qigong masters or students can
generate a strong magnetic
field under the subjects' control. In these reports, an nT-order to
100nT-order magnetic field is
detected at palms, the forehead, the top of the head, etc. However,
there are few experts who
can generate an nT-order magnetic field even in an experiment on
bio-magnetism with SQUID
which can detect 1.2 pT, therefore anomalous bio-magnetic fields have
not been researched well
yet.
Thanks for those studies Scott, but the first one is a bit puzzling.
I take it the 100nT field is 100 nanoTesla, and 1 Tesla is 10,000 Gauss. This gives a field of 1 milliGauss?
But we have had much higher fields in other studies.

Emission of extremely strong magnetic fields from the head and whole body during oriental breathingexercises.
Hisamitsu T; Seto A; Nakazato S; YamamotoT; Aung SK Department of Physiology, Showa UniversitySchool of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan. Acupunct Electrother Res, 21(3-4):219-27 1996 Jul-Dec Abstract This article reports the result of an experiment that was designed to measure the biomagnetic field emanating from two individuals who were practising traditional Oriental Qi Gong breathing exercises. The biomagnetic field was measured with differential coils wound 80,000 turns, a magnetic needle compass and a digital electromagnetic wave detection device. It was found that an extremely strong magnetic field was emitted from the two individuals. One subject emitted a magnetic field at the level of 200-300microT (2-3 mGauss) and the other at 0.13 mT (1.3 mGauss). In both cases, moreover, the magnetic needle compass rotated 30 degrees (this was tested 32 times). When the rotation of the needle occurred, a reproducible magnetic field of 800-1500 microT (8-15 mGauss) was indicated on the digital measuring device(this was tested 12 times). It is concluded that traditional Oriental Qi Gong breathing appears to stimulate an unusually large biomagnetic field emission.

-----------------
Now granted these figures from the abstract do not make sense, I make 800 microT to be 8 Gauss, not 8 milliGauss, but that may be a translation error. Do you have access to the full study?
And does this suggest that qigong may not be generated just by the hands as the signal there is so small?
