"Experiments with a Reich Orgone Accumulator as a Power Generation Device"
|
|
|
|
Dedicated to the memory of Dr. Wilhelm Reich
|
|
|
|
I reconstructed the experiment XX (originally performed by Wilhelm Reich),
|
|
as best I could. The Accumulator was constructed of triangle cut sheets of
|
|
galvanized iron, 3/16" mahogany plank, lead, wax paper, aluminum and
|
|
radio-ctive source.
|
|
|
|
The tetrahedron accumulator was 23" x 23" x 23" exterior dimension standard
|
|
galvanized iron layered 3/16" mahogany for a total of 12 layers of each.
|
|
The next three layers consisted of aluminum, wax paper then lead, the
|
|
inside lead chamber was 4" x 4" x 4". My experiment mirrored his as best I
|
|
could. Substitutions had to be made, but I was finally ready to test the
|
|
experiment. With a brand new geiger-counter and a video recorder we
|
|
(myself and an assistant) were off!
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
A full account of Reich's Experiment XX is found in Chapter II
|
|
of "The Cancer Biopathy", c.1973. The chapter is titled:
|
|
|
|
"Orgone Energy Vesicles (Bions) and the Natural Organization of Protozoa"
|
|
|
|
The only thing this dissertation and the experiment have in common
|
|
is that an ORAC (ORgone energy ACcumulator) was used in both. Reich's
|
|
was a 3 fold (layer) Orac, 1 cubic foot in size.
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Upon reaching the selected site, we set up camp and assembled the
|
|
experiment. Almost immediately we began to have problems with the
|
|
equipment! The geiger-counter (which was new) wouldn't work and the video
|
|
recorder was unable to record when we were near the experiment.
|
|
|
|
Our portable power generator ran as if the timing was off. All the
|
|
equipment had been tested prior to our departure and was in perfect working
|
|
order with the exception of the geiger counter (which was new) and I only
|
|
had the nickel sixty-three isotope which I intended to use as a source, but
|
|
no calibration source was available for testing the geiger counter,
|
|
however, it was brand new, and I felt sure it was OK.
|
|
|
|
It did register back ground radiation at the lab. However, radioactive
|
|
detection was negligible from our nickel sixty-three/kn 22 gas filled tube.
|
|
|
|
At first I thought it was just coincidence or bad luck. But when we left
|
|
camp the video recorder began working fine and the generator began to run
|
|
smoothly once again.
|
|
|
|
The geiger-counter however, still would not work so I figured it was broken
|
|
and ordered a replacement. Meanwhile, I borrowed another geiger counter
|
|
from a school and brought it out to the field. This one also stopped
|
|
working. So I went once again to a school and again borrowed yet another
|
|
geiger-counter. This time I kept it on and monitored the readings from
|
|
|
|
Page 1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Canton High School to our camp a distance of 7 miles away. We noticed that
|
|
from 2 miles away, the background count increased slightly, so by the time
|
|
we got back to our camp it had increased by an average of four counts per
|
|
minute for a total of eleven counts per minute.
|
|
|
|
Thus we had solved the geiger counter problem and through this method of
|
|
conditioning all three worked fine. Also, I received word back from Ludlum
|
|
company from whom I purchased the detector and to whom I had sent the first
|
|
one back to for fixing or replacement who indicated he had performed lab
|
|
tests on the geiger counter but found no problems at all, and could offer
|
|
no reason for the unit's failure at our test site.
|
|
|
|
From this I deduced the accumulator had directly interferred with the
|
|
detector's operation at the camp location of the experiment.
|
|
|
|
So having solved my problems with the detectors, I found that from a
|
|
distance of one hundred feet away from the accumulator, readings nearly
|
|
doubled! Readings at all locations were substantially lower than at the
|
|
accumulator! This was most interesting, there was no way the radio active
|
|
(nickel 63) switching tube should be influential since it was covered with
|
|
3/8" inch of lead and 1/8"inches of aluminum. Added to this was the
|
|
multiple layers of galvanized steel and wood for a gross weight of
|
|
approximately 70 pounds.
|
|
|
|
During the monitoring period of the experiment, I noticed that the
|
|
radiation output would gradually increase and then suddenly drop back down
|
|
to nearly zero. Then the process would start all over each time gaining in
|
|
radio-active output. Prior to this monitoring period some rather unique
|
|
events occurred.
|
|
|
|
The first of these was the arrival of mayflies and the breeding activities
|
|
of these insects in the immediate vicinity of our experiment immediately
|
|
following the setting up of the experiment. This lasted for about 3 hours
|
|
and then they left.
|
|
|
|
Following this we observed a bumblebee flying around the experiment which
|
|
suddenly dove straight into the experiment, fell down dead and in less than
|
|
2 hours appeared totally dehydrated and looked as if it had been in the sun
|
|
for days. Its body was extremely dry and brittle. Following this, similar
|
|
events occurred with wasps.
|
|
|
|
Now during this time the geiger-counter was not functioning and no
|
|
correlation to the radio-activity is definitely known. However, later when
|
|
the geiger-counter was replaced with one that we had managed to keep in
|
|
operation, I found that the radiation levels would reach a peak and start a
|
|
new cycle. Many times these peaks would immediately precede some strange
|
|
event.
|
|
|
|
An example, on March 26, 1989, about three weeks after I first introduced
|
|
the isotope into the accumulator, I had just finished taking readings on
|
|
the various monitoring equipment at the site of the experiment, when
|
|
suddenly the entire area lit up with a orange cast. I turned around to see
|
|
its source, and in the sky directly in front of me I observed a bright
|
|
orange-red fireball. This occurred in the evening around 10:45 p.m.
|
|
|
|
I estimated this phenomenon to be roughly the size of a basketball, 50 feet
|
|
in the air and moving north to south at approximately 8 m.p.h. The
|
|
distance from which I observed this was 125 feet. No noise accompanied
|
|
this nor were there clouds in the area. This fireball lasted approximately
|
|
5 seconds then disappeared in full view and totally unobscured from sight.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
During the field observations there were several times when storms would
|
|
move through the area and also just clouds coming across. Interestingly
|
|
holes would appear in the clouds as they moved overhead, as if the
|
|
experiment was generating some sort of force field which blocked the
|
|
moisture content of the clouds but after passing through the field the
|
|
holes would quickly fill themselves back in again.
|
|
|
|
The most dramatic account occurred when a thunder storm, accompanied by
|
|
strong winds and rain, moved into the area; and even though wind was
|
|
blowing quite hard, and it was pouring down rain all around us, the hole in
|
|
the sky remained and we were able to stay relatively dry.
|
|
|
|
After a month of field observations, I moved the experiment back to the
|
|
laboratory where I continued the monitoring of the experiment. Almost
|
|
immediately upon our arrival, the office computer, phones system and the
|
|
closed circuit t.v. monitors began to malfunction. The computer would just
|
|
dump and lose all the information that had been typed into it. This did
|
|
not put me on the programmer's favorite person list and finally the
|
|
computer was just turned off and left off during the remainder of the
|
|
experiment.
|
|
|
|
Also the phone system as I mentioned above started to malfunction it would
|
|
have heavy static on the line and would loose connection during a phone
|
|
conversation. We also experienced a rash of wrong numbers or no answers
|
|
when the phone would ring.
|
|
|
|
Customers began to complain that the lines were always busy and they could
|
|
not get through. The phone company sent crew after crew out, but they never
|
|
could fix the problem or tell us why it was happening. No other businesses
|
|
in the area were experiencing any problems so our equipment was tested and
|
|
was reported to be in perfect working order!
|
|
|
|
The T.V. monitoring system was less than 2 months old and was generally so
|
|
full of static that you could hardly tell what you were looking at, it too
|
|
was tested and no apparent reason could be found as to the bad picture on
|
|
the monitor. However the systems were not always bad; the degree of
|
|
trouble seemed to coincide with the height of the radiation emitted by the
|
|
experiment.
|
|
|
|
During the radio-active lulls the equipment would function fine. One
|
|
Monday morning I decided to clean up my laboratory and after doing so
|
|
returned to the office where the T.V. viewing monitor was located. While
|
|
watching the different scenes appear on the viewer from the different
|
|
camera locations, my lab appeared on the viewer... the lab appeared just
|
|
like it had before I cleaned and rearranged it.
|
|
|
|
I thought someone was playing a joke on me but my lab was cleaned and the
|
|
camera was on but the picture on the monitor was clearly wrong! I called
|
|
the company that installed the system and they could not explain the
|
|
picture as we had no recording equipment for the system and the rest of the
|
|
cameras were working fine.
|
|
|
|
After calling several video experts we found out that this type phenomenon
|
|
was called a "burn-in" which is similar to what happens when a bright light
|
|
is directed into a video camera and the light leaves a trail when it is
|
|
moved away. However this type was the result of not light but electricity.
|
|
|
|
We were told the power required for this type event was generally in the
|
|
kilo-volts or higher and should eventually ware off. The expert was right,
|
|
|
|
Page 3
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and the images faded away by the next day, however the question remained as
|
|
to the power source that had caused the problem in the first place?
|
|
|
|
A possible solution became apparent about three weeks later. One evening
|
|
my partner and the secretary were working late and a storm moved into the
|
|
area they noticed that the lightning was unusually heavy and had a variety
|
|
of different colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and white. During
|
|
the storm, they noticed that my lab door was open and the room was filled
|
|
with an electrical type fire, green in color and suspended in mid air!
|
|
|
|
They watched this from a distance of sixty feet or so and amidst the light
|
|
show a shadowy figure appeared in front of the door which was about six
|
|
feet tall. The fire and the figure both remained for about two minutes
|
|
before disappearing. My partner called me at my house and told me of the
|
|
events that had transpired.
|
|
|
|
The next day I found that nothing had been burned and the only evidence
|
|
left was that the T.V. camera was no longer working. The next day,
|
|
however, the camera once again was working.
|
|
|
|
A similar event occurred about 4 weeks later. I had moved the experiment
|
|
into my office from the lab and one morning while opening the door to the
|
|
office I noticed light coming out from under the door. When I opened the
|
|
door the room was filled with what appeared to be thousands of little blue
|
|
dots of light about the size of a pin head floating all around the room.
|
|
|
|
Within seconds the dots vanished and the room was filled with the smell of
|
|
ozone. ( The same smell produced after a thunder storm or a high voltage
|
|
transformer.) A few weeks later the co-owner of the company was in my
|
|
office discussing a business matter when he leaned against a glass door I
|
|
had covered with a piece of galvanized steel which imparted a sizable shock
|
|
to him and left me quite red faced.
|
|
|
|
He thought I had somehow electrified the door and failed to warn him of the
|
|
danger. I had not electrified the door in any manner and the only
|
|
explanation I could give was that the experimental accumulator was only
|
|
inches away from the door and some how it may have electrified the door.
|
|
|
|
After this, it was decided to move the experiment to a back building where
|
|
it would pose no threat to employees or equipment and it could be kept
|
|
separate from the main building as the problems with the phones continued
|
|
to plague our business. During this time the counts from the geiger-
|
|
counter ranged from 10-120 counts per minute(C.P.M.). Ten C.P.M. being the
|
|
time following the sudden drops from the peaks of which had increased to
|
|
120 C.P.M..
|
|
|
|
About three weeks after I had moved the experiment to the isolated building
|
|
the owner, co-owner and myself went to monitor the experiment. As we
|
|
started to leave, the geiger-counter that had been reading about 78 C.P.M.
|
|
suddenly began registering a rapid climb in C.P.M. until it went off scale.
|
|
|
|
Switching to a higher scale we watched in amazement as it proceeded beyond
|
|
the increased counter range. Once again I switched to a higher range, and
|
|
the counter showed no signs of slowing down. Now the C.P.M.'s were over
|
|
100,000! The clicks of the counter sounded like a machine gun and if we
|
|
were measuring radio-activity then the danger to us was becoming too great
|
|
and so we made a hasty retreat.
|
|
|
|
The distance away from the experiment we monitored the first onset of the
|
|
|
|
Page 4
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rapid climb in C.P.M. was seven feet. The distance away from the
|
|
experiment still reading a climb in C.P.M. was thirty-eight feet!
|
|
|
|
We returned to the area thirty minutes later and the C.P.M.'s were down to
|
|
27 C.P.M. During the next few weeks the peaks topped out around 70 C.P.M.
|
|
and no other extraordinarily high readings were observed.
|
|
|
|
I once again moved the experiment. This time I moved it to a location which
|
|
had better accessibility so I could monitor it easier. Three weeks later
|
|
while taking measurements I contracted a headache and became slightly
|
|
nauseous. After leaving the area the headache and nausea left me as
|
|
suddenly as it has arrived.
|
|
|
|
This led me to believe that the experiment was somehow responsible, so I
|
|
called over a lab assistant and asked him to go into the room and retrieve
|
|
my note book. After doing so he commented on the fact that the room felt
|
|
stuffy and he too had experienced a mild head ache while in the room. It
|
|
was at this point that I decided to stop the experiment. I was satisfied
|
|
that Dr. Reich's observations in regards to the effects of Orgone
|
|
accumulator on a radio-active isotope had merit.
|
|
|
|
I shut down the accumulator by pouring salt-water into the core and
|
|
saturated all the layers with salt-water. This has effectively stopped the
|
|
effects of the experiment and the isotope has been removed from the
|
|
accumulator. The conclusions that I reached from this experiment are:
|
|
|
|
That Orgone theory is the key as claimed by Dr. Reich in regard to the
|
|
applications he cited.
|
|
|
|
I hope others will repeat this experiment and make known the results they
|
|
obtain. As I have done this experiment only once I do not know for a fact
|
|
that the events I noted were in fact due to the accumulator or were merely
|
|
coincidence.
|
|
|
|
But I do know that this was one of the most exciting years of my life. The
|
|
partner funding my research experienced some financial problems and we will
|
|
continue once funding is available for this venture, but until that day
|
|
arrives I leave this diary of the events.

Vangard Notes
|
|
|
|
Ron McWilliams has been a friend for several years now. We first met at
|
|
a Star Trek convention in the Dallas area where I was manning a video
|
|
booth for the then MUFON MetroPlex UFO group of which I was President.
|
|
|
|
I was showing the Meiers video from Switzerland and Ronnie and I struck
|
|
up a conversation. We found many common interests, especially
|
|
harmonizing on the intent of technical duplication for useful devices.
|
|
Ron was hesitant to mention any details of his own Reichian experiment,
|
|
but he eventually gave me the inside story. I then helped him write up
|
|
a research proposal which he used to gain funding for the project.
|
|
|
|
Chuck Henderson is our resident Reich Honcho, although I am not
|
|
unfamiliar with the material. Being aware of Reichs' work, I knew he
|
|
said that Orgone energy attracted moisture and would accelerate the
|
|
decay of radioactive sources. Bearing that in mind, you can see the
|
|
quite interesting correlations with Ronnie's experiment.
|
|
|
|
I must point out that Ron and I had heavy discussions regarding the
|
|
|
|
Page 5
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dangers Reich pointed out with regard to the production of DOR as
|
|
manifested by radioactive sources. He insisted that his device was
|
|
|
|
designed to absorb those rays before they could escape and reap havoc.
|
|
|
|
In fact, now that I recall the ORIGINAL proposal, it was for an Orgone
|
|
Power Generator based on the use of atomic batteries.
|
|
|
|
The basic premise was that atomic batteries were available that would
|
|
capture beta and gamma emissions, and convert those directly to
|
|
electricity.
|
|
|
|
If a radioactive element was inserted into a properly constructed Orgone
|
|
Accumulator with collection plates to channel the emissions to the
|
|
appropriate battery, then the device would directly produce electrical
|
|
power that would be proportionate to the degree of orgone excitation.
|
|
|
|
The use of a pyramidal container was also in the original proposal
|
|
although I felt a spherical container might be more appropriate because
|
|
of the lack of studies with regard to radioactive energies in
|
|
conjunction with pyramid amplification.
|
|
|
|
However, it was Ron's idea and I was honored to be in the know about it
|
|
before, during and after the project. It was kept quiet all this time
|
|
until Ron decided he could do no more with it and kindly sent it to us
|
|
here at KeelyNet.
|
|
|
|
Around the time of the project, I received a call from Joel Carlinsky.
|
|
We discussed the project and Joel went BALLISTIC over the phone. I
|
|
explained that Ron and I had discussed the possible problems and he was
|
|
quite aware of them.
|
|
|
|
In an attempt to minimize the dangers, he chose to use a test site that
|
|
is about 45 miles from the Dallas area and about 7 miles from a small
|
|
town (Canton, site of the largest Flea Market in the United States - 1st
|
|
Monday Trade Days).
|
|
|
|
This area of research is still wide open and the use of the Orgone for
|
|
power generation is quite intriguing. I'd like to thank Ron for sharing
|
|
this with all of us.
