Below are a number of short reports with photos, on use of the new Life Energy Meter for different experimental purposes. Users are invited to submit their own controlled tests for inclusion.
Experimental Report #1
Background:
In Wilhelm Reich's work The Cancer Biopathy, Volume II of the Discovery of the Orgone (1948), he writes at length about his invention of an energy concentration device which he calls an Orgone Accumulator. This heretofor unknown energy it is claimed causes a local rise in temperature within the accumulator. He further mentions a second method of measuring this energy using a high voltage oscillating electric field connected unipolarly to a series of metal plates. A light bulb connected to these plates luminated when living things approached or were placed on the test plate. Reich claimed that a fresh fish placed on the test plate would yield a high lumination of the bulb. The longer the fish remained on the plate (after death) the weaker was this lumination. After several years of experimentation, Heliognosis has developed this method of life energy measurement into a compact electronic instrument. The following experiment illustrates the life energy measurement of a fresh leaf from the Impatience flower and shows how it diminishes with time after picking.
Method:
The Experimental Life Energy Meter Model LMII was placed on a plywood table with the small plate electrode directly behind it. A leaf from the Impatience plant was cut from the stem and placed into a weighed tight fitting zip-lock bag. The air was fully removed from the bag before weighing. The initial weight of the leaf was 0.3g. The bag with the leaf inside was taped to the small plate electrode so that it was centered on the plate. The leaf could then be placed directly over the plate and then removed to one side for zeroing the meter by lifting one side of the masking tape. Measurements of the Energy of the leaf were made once a day with zeroing before and after to confirm the accuracy of the reading. All measurements were made on the x10 range and all other objects were kept at least 16 inches away from the meter.

Observations:
The leaf was intensely green and vibrant when it was picked. The leaf remained flat during the experiment but the green colour faded slightly over nine days to a dark olive colour and the taught appearance of the leaf tissue became flacid and slightly wrinkled. The leaf's dimensions remained the same at 4" long and 1 1/8" wide and the weight of the leaf remained constant. The readings of the energy diminished each day as indicated in the below graph.
Conclusion:
The leaf's dimensions and weight remained constant, consistent with the prevention of water and mass loss by using the sealed zip-lock bag. The decrease in the energy readings could then only be caused by a loss of vitality as the leaf cells died after removal from the plant. This is initial evidence that leaves and perhaps all living or once living things contain an energy which dissipates with a loss of life or loss of vitality.
Preliminary results of Life Energy Field Meter evaluation of "Bio-Organic" versus commercial (pesticide) apples, as determined by Mr. Ivan Duchini, of the EWO Water company in Italy. He states "We replicated the test 3 time in 3 Days with the same result." This form of evaluation needs tighter experimental controls (the two apples do not appear to have identical sizes or weights, for example) and additional replication, but is indicative of the potential experimental use of the meter.
