The conditioning seems to be a movable Bloch wall

[edit] Tests

The link makes it sound as if the National Capital Area Skeptics did the test. However, staff of the National Bureau of Standards did the testing and National Capital Area Skeptics just prepared the report.

I remember that. That was after I had bought Newman's book (if I can find it, it may be useful for a citation or two, but then I guess it qualifies as "original work"), and Newman was sending me newsletters. He claimed that the NBS refused to let him observe the tests, that they neglected to remove a bolt that had grounded a critical component for shipping, so the test wasn't valid (he claimed). I remember he also claimed that much of the energy from the device was emitted as radiofrequency emissions, so it wasn't practical to simply "connect the output to the input" as James Randi suggested. -Amatulic 05:07, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV

Significant non-NPOV content has been added here since the last POV cleanup. --AbsolutDan (talk) 20:21, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm tagging it as {{POV-check}} again, as well - this article needs some serious work. Considering the current sensitivity about critical bio articles, I may put this article up for deletion if not improved soon. --AbsolutDan (talk) 00:27, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unreferenced

Being a bio article, and especially because of the negative tone of the article, this article needs to be properly cited using reliable sources. A few links in the external links section just doesn't cut it. I'm giving it about a week and then I'm going to go through it with my scissors or nom. it for deletion. --AbsolutDan (talk) 12:54, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
