After several years of development, Heliognosis is proud to introduce the Experimental Life Energy Meter. Based on the mysterious Orgone Field Meter of Wilhelm Reich, this unique device detects a new type of energy field known by several names including Orgone, life energy, Chi and Zero-point energy. The original Orgone field meter of Reich required a large high frequency and high voltage power supply which would occassionally shock the user. The output was a simple light bulb whose intensity could be compared subjectively or using an optically coupled galvanometer. Little is known about the original device beyond Reich's claims that living things yielded higher readings than non-living objects.

At Heliognosis, our engineers have developed the basic operational principle of the Orgone Field Meter into a compact, benchtop monitor. It provides quantitative readings of the energy content of humans, animals, plants, solutions and even space itself. The plate excitation energy has been reduced so direct contact with the skin does not cause any unpleasant sensations. The meter provides five ranges to detect from the strongest fields such as those found in humans to the weakest fields encountered in ambient surroundings. Zero controls are provided to allow the user to "zoom in" and make detailed comparisons between samples as well as to provide the user the possibility of measuring as a field strength meter or as a positive/negative comparison indicator.

How it works

A low frequency "displacement current" is connected unipolarly to a sensor which may be a vacuum tube or an insulated metal plate. The "displacement current" field fills the space surrounding the sensor and permeates all objects in its vicinity. The internal circuitry of the meter returns information about the extent of absorbtion of the excitation field and displays this as a deflection of the meter. Living things absorb more than non living things. The strength of the excitation field is proportional to the surface area that the plate makes with the surrounding space. Thus, metal objects brought near the sensor will cause the reading to increase. Water, which Reich believed to have a high energy content, also reacts strongly. Tests with other energy fields have shown that the instrument is insensitive to magnetic, electrostatic, electromagnetic and nuclear energies. Simple experiments, such as tests performed on plant leaves, have shown that green healthy leaves yield a high reading where as yellowing leaves show less and brown or dying leaves show only a small reading. Even after all objects are moved away from the sensor, a weak fluctuation may be detected and seen on the highest ranges of the device. It would appear that this fluctuation is due to the local Orgone field flux of space itself and may be a proof of the existence of the elusive "aether" or zero point energy.

Using the meter

The LM3 is provided with a vacuum tube sensor for general purpose use. This sensor is plugged in at the rear of the device and may be rotated for various types of measurements. For most measurements, the test object may be brought up to the sensor tube and a reading taken either in contact or at a fixed distance. The reading will decrease as the object is moved further away. For consistent readings, always place objects for comparison at exactly the same distance from the tube. For larger distances, the range switch may be moved to a higher position to increase the sensitivity.

To determine the correct range for measurement, first zero the meter on the x1 range using the coarse and fine zero controls without any objects near the tube. Bring the object to the desired distance and observe the meter deflection. If the deflection is less than 10%, select the next highest range and re-zero in the absence of the test object. If the reading is still less than 10% repeat this procedure. If small differences between objects is to be observed, set the range to x10 and set the zero to mid-scale (on the -/+ line) while measuring the reference object. Place the test object in place and observe the difference on the meter. If the meter falls to zero or rises to 100, decrease the range and repeat the procedure. If the difference is 5% or less the range may be increased and the procedure repeated.

The meter comes with a standard vacuum tube with a 2.25 sq in plate area for general purpose sensing. We also offer a diverse range external probes and accessories. Refer to the applications section for further information about using the Experimental Life Energy Meter.

The probe assembly consists of two identical test tube fixtures mounted on a wooden frame. An adjustment is provided to exactly match the readings of the sample electrode to the reference electrode. This allows for accurate differential measurements at high sensitivity. Small drifts in the background energy can be compensated without removing the sample by simply flipping a switch mounted on top of the probe assembly.
