It was for the sweeping seamines as they were floating on sea. The plane would fly over it (them) and the ring creates an electronic field to detonate the mine(s) or so have understood.

In a nutshell, surely others will know more and better.

Yes you are right. There were several german, mostly Seaplanes, equiped with such a Ring. Ifaik Do24, BV138, Ha 139, Do23, even some Wellington were used by the british with such a magnetic Ring.

If you are intrested, i could show you a BV 138 in a minesweeping Version.

Best regards
