EEE Le eR ea ee rnaere annette nesses Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100200002-9 A. introduction This report constitutes a more detailed account of the psychoenergetic devices and experiments investigated during a recent A.R.E, fact-finding trip to Russia, As such, it is an extension 6f the General Technical Report ‘1) written concerning the trip rather than a substitute report. For a complete picture of the information received during this trip, both reports are neces- Sary, Since it was felt that many people would not be interested in the details of these devices and experiments, two reports have been written, The present report deals with three topics: (1) Kirlian photography, (2) Acupuncture points and the Tobiscope and (3) Telekinesis’ (PK) experiments and field detectors, Be | Technical Data l. Kirlian Photosraphy In this area of investigation, the important device factors fall into two categories: (a) the operating characteristics of the electrical power source and (b) the configuration and components of the information display and recording devices, (a) It was indicated that the power source should be a pulsed high-frequency field (somewhat similar to a radar power source). The pulse characteristics are given in Fig. 1 and are (i) pulse height =_20-100Kvolt, (ii) pulse width = 10°* to 2x 107% sec, (iii) pulse repetition period 50 sec and (iv) A.C. ee frequency = 75 to 3000KHertz. They were of the opinion that a single D.C. Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100200002-9
Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100200002-9 pulse would not be effective in producing the effect, [*However, work carried out in England using this approach has revealed very interesting photographs from radiation in the ultra-violet. ] They mentioned that it was dangerous to use D.C, rather than high frequency; with high frequency inside the pulse enve- lope, one can work with Living systems. Although a static electric field of the same value as used in the A.C, system ( 107 volts/cem) would also yield cold electron emission, the situation is not straightforward as strong polarization of the electrodes would occur (electroysis). They feel that it is necessary to have a discharge spacing be- tween the specimen and the film in order for proper channel formation to occur (as a result of positive ion clustering around the electron stream). The electrons exit from the surface with different velocities and this includes information about the object. If one uses a D.C. power source, equilibration few of electrons occurs and the image is absent. With D.C., in the first/moments an image appears but then disappears later as equilibration occurs, The H.F. Signal is also used in the pulse so that one can decrease the size of the equip- ment. The use of different frequencies allows one to obtain quite different ‘pictures, presumably associated with different resonances from different cells, ete,; i.e., the electrons can come from different parts of the skin, Actually, one need use only one pulse to obtain a photograph, The slow pulse repetition rate is to provide low average power. It seems that a pulse duration of about 2 x 107° sec is maximum and if + is much larger, the image is poor. On the other hand, if 7 is too small, the channel discharge process doesn't have time to develop (for contact photography, one can use rx 2 x 1076 sec). The total current drawn from the entire surface is less than li, amp so ~ 2 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100200002-9
Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100200002-9 that the actual current in a discharge -channel is much less. They su. that this is the reason for the stability of the cold electron emission, The average power of a generator is about 1 watt (pulse power is much © larger, of course). Thus, quite small generators using batteries, transformers, transistors, etc,, can be built and taken out into the field. However, such small generators genérally do not have as much stability as one would Like. It was stated that any discharge includes photons but that only dis- charges in a strong field produce an image. This seems to relate to electron acceleration which leads to photon emission. Of course, even the radiation damage effect of the electrons hitting the photographic grains can be expected to produce massive exposure of such grains. (b) In the simplest Kirlian device, shaped like a sandwich or parallel plate condenser, the object is placed between the two plates to which voltage is applied. If the condenser plates are too close to the object, there will be no effect on the film. In order to get good pictures, there must be a die- lectric gap between the object and the film. The exposure time depends on the film speed and on the power density of the electric field. To improve the effect and augment it, a fine screen (Like -a silk screen) may be placed between the object and capacitor plate (and film). The Film is between the condenser plate and the screen. This screen enhances the effect, probably by its serving as a dielectric. One type of effective screen material is film itself that has been completely exposed and developed. The device can be placed in a scissors arrangement as illustrated in Fig. 2, the scissors being used to apply a slight but even pressure via the paralon (or sponge) pads. The electrodes are developed x-ray film (AgBr ~ Ag) -3- Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100200002-9

The spacing between object and film is about 50 microns (can be 10y to 100u). . To improve the resolution, a layer of saline water or other conductive liquid is sometimes placed between the object and the film, In this case, the film is placed with the emulsion facing away from the object so that the emulsion won't be disturbed. The capacitor plate is then placed outside of the film, A further improvement can be made by using the conductive liquid as one of the capacitor plates, thereby permitting better resolution and faster work with the film. For taking pictures of a section of human skin or other part of the body, only one electrode is needed. In this cage, the body acts as ground; i.e., el only one half of the device, presented in Fig. 2, is needed. This same elec- trode procedure is used for the Kirlian microscope, illustrated in Fig. 3, when it is applied to the body. Photographs of the one-electrode device and the microscope are shown in Fig. 4, A simple rolling device, which has the advantage of operating at less \ than Ll watt average power, was also described. It is illustrated in Fig. 5. In this device, no discharge occurs at points A or C but does occur at point B where the spacing is about 10 microns. The cylinder is rolled at about 10 cm/min and gives a moving line discharge to expose the film in sequence, A device for taking moving pictures is illustrated in Fig. 6. It utilizes the arrangement of Fig. 2. Controlled weights are applied to the device and the film is pulled through at some particular speed while the discharge se 4.

Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100200002-9 process is going on. The film is rolled in the usual way and all is contained within a casette, In Fig. 7, an extremely useful device idea is illustrated, The previous methods utilized rigid capacitor plates which do not allow one to take pictures of objectshaving irregular profiles. In the new method (described: in Russian patent #209968 filed in 1966 by Adamenko and Kirlian), the device takes the shape of the body. The transparent electrode is a silicon organic film; how- ever, many other possibilities exist. With this device, any portion of the body can be photographed directly. In fact, one could make a snug-fitting vest or garment of the matertal which could then be monitored photographically from a distance or displayed continuously via closed-circuit T.V. This new method grew out of an earlier idea of Kirlian's (patent #164906 in 1963) which utilized a conductive trangparent material as part of the capacitor, to which a hinged mirror was attached, and a flexible conductive material which is laid upon the object to be photographed, The mirror is con- cave and acts as a lens, enlarging the object to be studied. The mirror is apparently used for visual examination when not taking photographs. Between the object and the flexible, transparent condenser plate is placed a dielectric net. A photographic plate is placed over the front or top of the conductor so that the prints were merely contact prints without focusing, The foregoing devices all operate in air at l atmosphere pressure. If the pressure is reduced to 1075 mm of mercury, the image is still retained even with the electrode separation increased to 20-30 cm. At a pressure of 1078 mm of mercury, the image disappears. A visual display system using something like a television tube is illustrated in Fig. 8. In this CRT device, ~5- Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100200002-9
Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100200002-9 electrons from the object impinge ona 200y-thick dielectric film and their charge pattern induces charge polarization on the other side of the film which, _in turn, affects the preferential geometry of electron emission from the film, Thus, the eventual image on the screen is indeed that of the object. This is a very important phenomenon which allows many interesting modifications of device design, | The methods have been developed for image amplification (magnification). In the first case, they use cold emission obtained in the small spacing device (50) of Fig. 2 with a high electric field at the edges, ao~ 1L0®V/cm, However, E is caused to decrease in the middle to Ey 10*V/cem (see Fig. 9a). Thus, the magnification, y, is given by w= <e | (1) They have obtained values of 4 ~ 340. The second method is carried out in a CRT type device as illustrated in Fig. 9b. The short electrode (cathode) has a field Ey and the larger electrode (anode) has a field E, (E, ~ 10°V/cm, E, is smaller). In this case, the magnification, y, is given by _ E _ So > rn nh (2) where Ss, and S, are the tensions of the two electrodes (S, Ey a S,E, from Gauss' law and charge conservation). Using the T.V, tube type of device, one might expect that the use of electron lenses would allow one to build an electron microscope with very high magnification. However, because of the high vacuum needed in such a device, a severe limitation exists. At 1077 - 1078 mm of mercury pressure, one gets -6- ; Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100200002-9

("The use of the dielectric imprinting technique may be a helpful aid here. } In concluding this section, it was noted that, if a person's finger- prints were sanded off i igd edge, the entire radiation pattern of the unaltered leaf was still revealed e in the Kirlian—photograph, _ ("re would be useful to perform the experiment the Kirlia: by cutting successive strips from the leaf and photographing in order to see what percentage of the leaf can be removed without an alteration in the total radiation pattern, Dr. Adamenko suggested that the number of radiation sources in the leaf or finger may be so numerous as to produce sufficient redundancy sources do not significantly disrupt the multiple array pattern. 2 Acupuncture and the Tobiscope Although it was not possible to obtain a circuit design for the Tobi- scope described in Ref. 1, it is possible to piece together conversational information and propose critical circuit design features from which a person, skilled in electronics, could make an instrument. Most simply, the device is a D.C. amplifier with a high input impedance and is battery powered. Very likely, the external skin impedance is arranged to be placed in parallel with the input impedance of the Tobiscope, Thus, if the skin impedance is reason- ably large, the total operating input impedance is unaltered by increasing the skin path length, However, if a number of locations are found which -7- Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100200002-9

For contact with such points, the current flowing through the device will be greatly increased and the current change @r voltage change) may be multiplied by the D.C, ampli- fier to a sufficient degree to Light a bulb in the head of the device. The illumination of this light signals the location of a shunting path or an acupuncture point, The device operates on less than 1 micro amp at 4 volts with the 3 tran- sistor D.C, amplifier being very stable over the voltage range of 1.3 to 3.5 volts. The input resistance is about 4-5 x 10° ohms and the device needs dry skin to be effective in locating the acupuncture network points (wet, salty skin leads to surface shunt paths). It is found that a resistance of about 20x 10° ohms exists between these network points and that the value increases greatly during sleep. The equivalont resistance over the same_length-of—sicin between two non-network points is in the range ~1 S ohms, At present, they are investigating an alternating current device and find that very interesting effects occur in the region of 1 Kil per second (since one now sees the imagi- mary part of the impedance). The D.C, resistance between one acupuncture point and another is about 50 ko for two adjacent network points aud varies slowly, as the distance be- tween points increases, to about 100 KQ. The same range of variation occurs due to emotional change, light stimulus, etc. The procedure here is to use a small current and a bridge balance methed, As pointed out by Adamenko §” , in the case of emotional excitation the points vary in diameter (as revealed by conductivity area) and there is the possibility of the areas overlapping ~8- Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100200002-9 Racin een ee
Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100200002-9 one another to form high conductivity regions. Again, it must be emphasized that measurements are meaningful only on dry skin, They have investigated the variation of conductivity between the network points according to the patient's condition in hypnonis (see Fig. 11). The conditions or states of hypnosis are listed along the abscissa as: (1) ordi- nary state, (2) sleep with closed eyes, (3) sleep with open eyes, (4) sugges- tion of hallucinations, (5) “artificial reincarnation", (6) work in "reincar- nation" state, The four graphs show variations in four groups of subjects ranging from control group A (those not hypnotizable) through B, C.and D in increasing order of hypnotizability. As seen from the graphs, there exists a certain relationship between the patient's hypnobility and the character of conductivity variations, In the control group, no conductivity variation has’ been recorded which indicates the absence of emotional reactions to the hypnotist's words. However, in the case ot ordinary emotional states, these patients exhibit conductivity variations. It has also been discovered that a voltage signal can be detected be- tween two network points provided two different types of metals are used as electrodes. On dry skin, using plated circular electrodes of 5 to 7 mm diam- eter, a WNi-Ag combination yielded a potential difference of about 50 mv. At skin locations where such points are absent, the potential difference is close to zero, Likewise, between two network points, using the same electrode ma- terial (Ni-Ni or Ag-Ag, say), the potential difference is again close to zero. It is sufficient to plate cu electrodes with Ni or Ag (they use chrome-Ni and chrome-Ag), Adamenko finds that, the greater the work function difference, Av, between the electrode materials, the greater the voltage, AV, developed, -9- Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100200002-9 ee aang 2 NMRA tee
Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000100200002-9 They think that this is a galvanic cell effect with the channel of meridian between the two network points acting as an electrolyte (like a Pb-Zn battery). The current drawn from this battery is about 10 micro-amps; however, this current level polarizes the electrodes so they use an impedance to reduce the current level to about 2y amps and then amplify the signal for display purposes. In cases of emotional-volitive excitation, the potential difference aV may in- crease up to 100 millivolts. Using parallel connections between several net- work points, the voltage obtained may be as high as 0.5-1 volt and the current accordingly increased up to some saturation limit (L = 10,A for 1 pair, I, = 18,A for 2 pairs, etc.). They feel that this high current drain could be dangerous to the body. This network potential difference has been used to power a simple transistor radio and a small toy vehicle. They find that, as the electrode area, A, increases, the developed voltage, V, increases, They also find that an A.C, pulse is diminished as the area of the electrode increases. This is illustrated in Fig. 12 as a plot of V vs, time; it probably represents an averaging phenomenon, wherein the A.C, signal arises only at the acupuncture point (less than 1 mm in diameter) in the cen- tral region of the electrode and potential averaging occurs, , In Fig. 13, the dependence of semiconductor properties of acupuncture points on the physiological state of the internal organs connected with these points is given, The vertical scale shows the difference in resistance (dR) between symmetrical points in the direct and reverse directions, Each vertical line represents a particular acupuncture connection.
