Introduction This report constitutes a more detailed account of the psychoenergetic devices and experiments investigated dur' t A.R.E. fact-finding trip ing a recen to Russia./ As such, it is an extension 6f the General Technical Report(l) 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. B. Technical Dita I . Kirlian Photography 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 inforrhation 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. I and are (i) pulse height = 20-10OKvolt, (ii) pulse width 10-4 to 2 .x 10-1 sec, (iii) pulse repetition period =~50 sec and (iv) A.C. frequency :- 75 to 3000M[ertz. They were of the opinion that a single D.C. Approved For Release 2000108110 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0100200002-9 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0100200002-9 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/cm) 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 f ew of electrons occurs and the image is absent. With D.C., in the firstrmoments 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- menL. The use of different frequencies allows one to obtain quite different pictures, presumably associated with different resonances fr9m different cells,, etc.; 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 10-1 sec is maximum and if r is much larger, the image is poor. On the other hand, if T is too small, the channel discharge process doesn't have time to develop (for contact photography, one can use 'r - 2 x 10-6 sec). The total current drawn from the entire surface is less than lLt amp so 2 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0100200002-9 Approved For Release 2000/68/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0100200002-9 that the actua'l current in a discharge-channel is much less. They that this is the reason for the stability of the cold electron emi.ssion. 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 gene'rators generally 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 cb-jJcct .4o placed between *1"hc 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 lugment it, a fine screen (like -a silk screen) may be PIZICLA 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-RDP96-00787ROO0100200002-9 'Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0100200002-9 and the leads are fastened to them as indicated. The dull matt finish of these electrodes provides poor reflectivity of light and thus is an aid to producing a good image. The spaqing between object and film is about 50 microns (can be 10p to 1004). To improve the resolution, a layer 9f 6aline Water or other conductive liquid is sometimes placed beLWeen 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 caV..., the body acts as ground; i.e., 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-clectrode device and the microscope are shown in Fig. 4. A simple rolling device, which has the advantage of operating at less than I 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 tbe spacing is about 10 microns. The cylinder is rolled at about 10 cm/min nud 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 4 Approved For Release 2000/08/10': CIA-RDP967-00787ROO0100200002-9 Approved For Release 2000/08110 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0100200002-9 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 efectrode 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 material 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 tranparent 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 not. 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 I atmosphere pressure. If the pressure is reduced to 10-5 ram of mercury, the image is still retained even with the elect-rode separation increased to 20-30 cm. At a pressure of .10-6 ram of mercury, the image disappears. A visual display system using something like a television tube is illustrated in Fig. 8. In this CRT device, Approved For Release 2000/08/10 CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0100200002-9 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0100200002-9 electrons from the object impinge on 41 200~t-thick diolect-ric filin and choir charge pattern induces charge polarizaLioll oil the other side of tile 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 (50p) of Fig. 2 with a high electric field at the edges, E. - 101V/cm. However,, E is caused to decrease in the middle to EM, 104V/CM (See Fig. 9a). Thus, the magnification, ~L3, is given by E E M They have obtained values of - 340. The second method is carried out in a CRT type device as illustrated in Fig. 9b. The short electrode (cathode) has a field El and the larger electrode (anode) has a field E. (El - 106v/cm$ EP is smaller). In this case,, the magnification, ~1, is given by El SP. EP. S1 (2) where S, and S2are the tensions of the two electrodes (S,E, S2E. 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 10' - 10-P mm of mercury pressure, one gets 6 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0100200002-9 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0100200002-9 no image because of the loss of channeling ions but at 10-1 - 10-3 mm Hg, one doesn't even need a lens. 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- al ,,fingerprints.

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 l'ocations are found which 7 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0100200002-9 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0100200002-9 produce shunting or stiort circuit paths of low impedance, then the effective input impedance of the device is significantly lowered. For contact with such points, the current flowing through the device will be greatly increased and the current change(or 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 101 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 50 x 101 ohms exists between these networ,~ points and that the value increases greatly during sleep. The betwegn two non-network points is in the range -101-ohis. At present, they are investigating an alternating current device and find that very interesting effects occur in the region of 1 M per second (since one now sees the imagi- nary part of the impedance). The D.C. resistance between one acupuncture point and another is about 50 V~) for two adjacent network points aiid varies slowly, as the distance be- tween points increases, to about 100 M. The same range of variation occurs due to emotional change, light stimulus, etc. The procedure here is to use (2) a small current and a bridge balance method. As pointed out by Adamenko in the case of emotion-ril 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-RDP96-00787ROO0100200002-9 Approved For Release 2000108110 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0100200002-9 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) "artificia.1 reincarnation", (6) work in Preincar- nation" state. The four graphs show variitions 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 Ni-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 (IU-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). Adamen-ko finds that, the greater the work function difference, between the electrode materials, the greater the voltage, AV, developed. - 9 - Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0100200002-9 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0100200002-9 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 2u amps and then amplify the signal for display purposes. In cases of emotional-volitive excitation, the potential difference AV may in- crease tip 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 = 10pA for I pair, I. 18~i,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 I nun 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 symnictrical points in the direct and reverse directions. Each vertical line represents a particular acupuncture connection.

To fasten electrodes to humans, around the head for example, in open holmot is used which contains screw contact electrodes that can be moved about and brought into light but constant pressure contact. An interesting testing or training device, using a cylindrical capacitor of the type illustrated in Fig. 14, was mentioned. one hand was placed on the A4, casing grasping the cylinder in a-natural way (some acupuncture points touch the aluminum can). The thumb and forefinger of the other hand hold the central contact post (acupuncture points in finger touch the silver-plated contact). The capacitor is held in this way for one minute of charging and it is then icroammeter discharged through alAn yielding a maximum signal I., say. Next,, charging again occurs for one minut-e, but this time the investigator also men- tally concentrates on charging the capacitor. The maximum discharge current is IP say, yielding a ratio K = IP/Ii - the greater is K, the greater is the ability to use one's mind in controlling the energy body. The imagination of stress (or actual muscle tension) or excitement during this one-minute.period can be used to alter I.. Using a 30 microfrared capacitor, the author found I,,,, lOpA; a larger capacitor (up to 10,000p,f) would probably be better. This simple device can be used to study one's ability to concentrate and focus the mind and by practice, oneshould be able t8 increase K significantly. It was stated that Alla V, the PK performer, is able to produce K = 9 without too much difficulty. 3. Telekinesis-(PK) They find that the placing of a film on Nelya K's head during the PK experiment leads to the presence of a large exposed spot on the film. They - 11 - Approved For Release 2000/08/10': CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0100200002-9 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0100200002-9 also find that film exposure occurs if the film is placed under the object used in a PK experiment. In addition, the film may also be exposed after the experiment due to a residual charge of some sort on the object. We heard that Nelya K actuallycaused a frog's heart to stop (and that it then could not be started again electrically). We also learned that she can influence the heart rhythm of otherpeople and can alter their skin condition so as to produce a burning feeling on contact. They have found that hypnosis can be used to en- hance PK abilities and that autogenic training was used to help increase Alla V's PK abilities. Itwas also stated that Nelya K cannot move objects if they are in a vacuum and that after the levitation of a small ball in air, an electro- static charge of 5 x 10F1 coulombs was found on the ball. It was not possible to obtain any specific information concerning the Sergeyev detector of pulsating magnetic ffelds in the vicinity of the PK object. However, it is likely to be the detection of a magnetic field using a sensing element of the barium titanate variety.' It was learned that T)la= make,gy n electrodes are applied to two acupunc- ture_points of Lhe plant.,, Using 5 mm diameter electrodes of Ni and Ag, they obtain about 50 mv between two points which is amplified. During a PK experi- ment, current pulses occur which change from 5 mA ambient-U over IQD_,mA at the .H1Ee_Zeak (see Fig. 15). p They have not fully studied the distribution of field strength between the operator and object during PK and find it to be a difficult question. The field intensity does increase as one reaches the object but probably not in the radiation type mode illustrated in Fig. 16. They don't know what type of field patLern exists on the other side of the object and seem to think that - 12 - Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0100200002-9 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA.-RDP96-00787ROO0100200002-9 the force is somehow just manifest in the vicinity of the object without tan- gible intervening field linkages between the operator and object. In the case of the rolling cylinder used in the PK experiments by Alla V, Adamenko thinks that a charge dipole forms, as illustrated in Fig. 17, which gives a moment such that one could move the object in either direction depending on how one held his,hand.
