Hi Don et al!

These are some notes from a post about an ORAC experiment I found at PORE a
year or so back. I have it floating around the computer somewhere, but have
a look at PORE, they probably still have it. If not I can send it to you
(when I find it!).

====

measurements mentioned below were made on an old Galvanometer with coil
inside meter "NOT WOUND ON ALUMINIUM!!" Apparently if the meter coil is
wound on aluminium it cannot detect the slight current. The meter used was
pre 1940's (I think).

Basically it was a coil in an ORgone ACcumulator (ORAC) hooked up to the
above meter. It was found slight currents were measured on the above
meter..and only on the above meter (other meters were made later without the
aluminium, they also showed the current)

(FOR THE ORAC...THE STONGER ACCUMULATING POWER THE BETTER!)

Observations:
-Coil best upright along inner wall or corner of ORAC
-Flipping Coil end for end caused a slow reversal of current
-Polarity due to position of coil relative to ORAC
-When coil horizontal, current drops nearly to zero
-when coil immediately outside ORAC, Simmilar though weaker results were
gained. Became less the further away it was.

Coils:
-Best results from loosly wound helixes of copper wire with no insulation,
and of large diameter
-# of turns not matter so much. Single wire loop/bare copper strip work,
though poorly
-Polarity effect noticed only in coils. Current in single wire loops/strips
almost random
-Coils on Iron Core gave no indications on meter; wound on plastic gave
slight indications; no core gave best indications
-Insulation interferes in all cases

Conductors:
-bare single/multi-strand conductors work best
-Soldered connections gave simmilar results as clip leads. Old clip leads
with cadmium plating worn off give erratic readings.
-all connections need to be clean and tight
-crossing wires, even when insulated sometimes dampens the flow
-copper, tinned copper, silver and gold work equally well (diamagnetic
materials)
-aluminium, steel and Iron seem to block flow entirely (para and
ferromanetic materials).

Resistors:
-Resistors in series dampens current, though higher ohmage does not cut back
current any more than one of lower value.
-Resistors in parallel with coil or galvanometer would not decrease measured
current, but would sometimes reverse polarity of it!

Other notes:
-when water in tin or ceramic cup brought near ORAC, flow of energy from
ORAC to meter was decreased immediately. Dunking one end of a lead into the
water, draping other end in ORAC made current drop faster, usually to zero.
-placing hands on ORAC increased current.
-moving coil in ORAC in any direction made current momentarily jump, then
settle in a slightly higher level.
-The current seems to be a steady state flow with only minor, very slow
fluctuations.
-Current is conducted by soft, diamagnetic metals, resisted by para or ferro
magnetic metals
-Organic material in the form of insulation or carbon resistors appears to
hinder, absorb, or dampen the current
-The un-electrical current is able to develop a reaction force with a
magnetic field, and cause a deflection of certain un-shielded D'arsonval
meter movements
-The level of current induced or generated within the helix or loop varies
with the responces of the enclosed ORAC to classical external orgonotic
stimuli.
