Physics is LOADED with these inconvenient little party tricks that are not really useful for anything, but also cannot be explained by anyone in the mainstream orthodoxy.

If you like to troll, just memorize them and bring them up whenever you meet a physicist...
There's a ton of simple boring stuff like the T.T. Brown capacitor we were discussing earlier. Also gyroscopes lose weight, but only if they're spinning in one direction, not the other. Also gravity decreases during an eclipse, etc etc etc... Easy to reproduce.

Then you have the cold fusion stuff which really makes people crazy. There's so many things out there and there's no theoretical foundation for any of it, these guys just keep trying random things and randomly it will do something unexpected, but then it'll stop and nobody can explain any of it. You hear these guys talk and you can see that it just drove them mad.

Then you've got Wilhelm Reich, and the whole Orgone thing. There's this one experiment, thermal anomaly, which has been reproduced over and over, and nobody can explain it. If you follow his theories, that stuff is a real mindfuck, but at the heart of it, there is at least one or two experiments that can't be explained...

@cjd @lain @bonifartius @shibao my life has intersected orgonomy multiple times. I knew a legitimate teenage genius who built a cloudbuster and claimed it worked but I never got around to seeing it.

I had a teacher at university that told me that the reason you can tell someone is looking at you from behind is that eyes are orgone accumulators.

at the gem shows in arizona people are always selling orgone pyramids

AFAIK those pyramids are not orgone accumulators in any original sense of the term. What you need to fit Reich's design is a container made of alternating layers of conductive and insulating material, and you get an accumulation inside of this container.

So, depending on your definition of "work".... 😏

BTW: Exposing yourself to high doses of orgone is probably not a great idea - effects are not well understood. I seem to recall in the cancer-mouse experiments, the mice lived a bit longer but the cancer thrived a lot more.

I used to have the handbook and corresponded with Dr. James DeMeo for a while many moons ago. You need certain kinds of steel wool and steel sheet metal and certain kinds of organic material to make a proper accumulator and if you don't know how they are supposed to work or you bring your cell phone inside one you're just going to cook yourself. You can't use an accumulator anywhere near a cellphone tower or you'll fry yourself. Making the bio packs or the shooters is better (safer) policy and after many experiments on my own I could not determine any real benefits or real anything about orgone. Except you can see the red and blue dots if you go out on a sunny day and pretend like you threw a basketball about 7ft above your head and focus on it. The dancing dot phenomenon seems to occur, but seeing it doesn't cure cancer.

Interesting, I wouldn't mind knowing what materials were said to work most effectively...

BTW: Asymmetrical capacitors (one plate larger than the other) come up in 3 different unexplained technologies:

1. Townsend Brown thrusters (of course)
2. Orgone accumulators (layers of conducting and insulating material create an asymmetry because outside layers are necessarily larger)
3. Stanley Meyer electrolyzer (look at the design, it's tube-in-tube)

I think I have the accumulator handbook stashed in a box in my garage. I remember it was a galvanized steel external layer and then the organic layer can't be fireproof or pressure treateed woods that have chemicals in them. The organic layer has to be very cleanly natural material like raw untreated wood and similar materials. Then you can later the organic wood layers with layers of steel wool (00 gauge iirc) and in the innermost layer is the galvanized steel sheet metal. 5-7 layers of steel was the norm, more layers = more powerful. Where you set it up and use it is very important and DeMeo recommended getting instruments to find electromagnetic fields and radiation and radio signals because all those things will mess you up if you accumulate near them. And then it has to be a nice sunny day but not a barren desert, etc etc. DeMeo was out in Ashland OR and recently died iirc but I strongly recommend getting the Orgone Accumulator handbook and covering all the bases and precautions if you want to experiment with orgone. There are just too many wifi and cell towers and even LED lighting can mess with it iirc.

The pyramids were never discussed by Reich, DeMeo, as far as I can tell and years ago DeMeo got very angry with me for asking him about them at all since he considered them new age quackery that used "orgone" fraudulently and discredited Reich's actual repeatable experiments. I remember as a 17 year old I made something saying it directed orgone and it said to use steel BBs and double terminate quartz crystals and so now whenever I hear about orgone pyramids or such things I think of new age, crystal aura healing energies, wicca, astrology, homeopathy, and tarot cards.
