Chi generator
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Chi generator®, also known as an orgone generator, is a device that is believed by many members of the New Age movement to have the ability to harness certain types of "energy" and use them for healing and other beneficial effects. They believe that fusing organic material (fiberglass resin, cotton, concrete, etc.) and dense metal elements creates a "matrix" which has the capacity to attract, refine and project "orgone/chi/prana" energy. Proponents of the chi generator claim that Wilhelm Reich's research demonstrated this concept in the 1930s and 1940s. This is elaborated in Reich's book, The Cancer Biopathy. To date, no scientific evidence has been found to back up these assertions; chi generators and orgone-based technology in general are widely met with skepticism in the scientific community.
Karl Hans Welz [1] marketed the first prototype chi generator in 1991.
Advocates of Reich's theories assert that orgone generators transmute "raw chi" into "bioavailable energy". While science struggles to verify these claims, the United States Food and Drug Administration banned the use of chi generators in healing protocols.
With chi-generator-based technology gaining in popularity, numerous researchers began promoting their own brands and touting proprietary mixes.
