More Geiger Results

I'd just like to keep everyone updated on the geiger counter stuff.

SheepKing has reported getting the counter up to 32 CPM (if I recall correctly), and I just got it up to 24 CPM trying out some new technique ideas (24 isn't that significant, but the spike was timed to intent). My personal record is still 36 CPM from the first post, and the all time record is 47 CPM from JoeT using Erik's counter.

One important note is that it doesn't always detect psionic effects. For example, I've sat there and spun the pinwheel in front of it, and it won't detect anything. But if I focus on the pinwheel a certain way, and trance out to get the wheel spinning, then it will start to raise. Some techniques produce bigger effects than others.

It's really fun to play with. If anyone wants to try out, try to catch me in the chat room, and I can set it up for you. Or you can use the information in my previous post to buy your own geiger counter. Fun times .

Here's the excrept:
The final test was to determine if Geller could produce a deflection on the Geiger counter; this should indicate whether he could produce radioactive radiation. When it was held near him, Geller registered a zero count on the instrument, taking into account the average background rate of about two counts per second produced by cosmic rays coming from outer space. Geller then took the monitor in his own hands and tried to influence the counting rate. We all stood round looking at the dial and listening for the telltale tone.

At first nothing happened, but by extreme concentration and an increase in muscular tension associated with a rising pulse rate, the needle deflected to 50 counts per second for a full two seconds, the sound effects heightening the drama of the occasion. By means of a small loudspeaker each count produced a "pip," and before Geller affected the machine the sound was of a steady "pip ... pip ... pip . . . ." In his hands the sound sud- denly rose to become a wail, one which usually indicates dangerous radioactive material nearby. When Geller stopped concentrating the Wail stopped and the apparent danger with it. This wail was repeated twice more, and then when a deflection of 1 00 counts per second was achieved, the wail rose almost to a scream. Between each of these attempts there was an interval of about a minute. A final attempt made the needle deflect to a reading of 1000 counts per second, again lasting for about two seconds. This was 500 times the background rate - the machine was emitting a scream in the process. After a rest of several minutes, a further deflection of 200 counts per second was produced, lasting about five seconds.

Even their description of what they heard doesn't make sense. 50 counts per second means you hear a click 50 times per second. Which would not sound like "pip .... pip .... pip".

I wish they had more information. If you have more, please let me know.

Or it's a fake testimony :-P
