THE ROTORGON

  1. The instrument


The Rotorgon (stemming from rotor plus orgone) is a simple device allowing to detect the existence of a life energy field, both emitted by the human body and existing in the environment where we live, coming from cosmic area and flowing around the earth. Many factors can persuade us that this kind of energy is of orgonic nature, mostly both because the instrument is made also of an orgone accumulator, that is integral part of it, and that it sheds light on some properties that are characteristics of this kind of energy. We do not want to discuss about the true nature of this energy, still controversial for some aspects, but what we can do up to now is to confirm that, based on the results obtained from lab test, the Rotorgon is nothing else that an instrument by which the above life energy is firstly subjected to a change into electrostatic energy, and then converted in kinetic energy. In fact, the most sensitive element of this instrument is the rotating device that, with its spontaneous motion and without the help of any conventional additional energy, shows the existence of a form of inexhaustible and still unknown energy. Studies and experiments about the possible application of this kind of energy are ongoing and the utilisation of the results is expected to be as promising as unforeseeable. Future applications could range from a new way of motor force using free energy (namely with unlimited availability) until to the realisation of a new mean of remote communication. The purpose of this article is just popular, without claiming to discuss the phenomenon from a scientific point of view. It is mostly directed to readers with good attitudes in "do it by yourself", and gives them all the information and technical data needed to build the instrument, even without using schemes, figures, and pictures. In fact, the construction of the Rotorgon is very cheap and it can be built by using very simple pieces, that even the most layman experimenter can easily find.

  1. How to build it

The Rotorgon consists of the following parts: the stator is obtained from a cylindrical box of pressed cardboard (or wood), with diameter of 12-14 cm, and height of 10-12 cm. The box should be cut along two diametrically opposite lines as to form half a circumference, located about 2-cm height from the bottom. We obtain a box, still having the bottom, but from which a semi-cylindrical part has been removed (table 5). In this way, half a box is obtained, where the wall has particular importance because it will be a part of an orgone accumulator. In fact, this wall will have to be lined by one or more alternated layers of cotton and iron. Going on from the back of the semi-cylindrical wall to the internal part of the box, the following layers can be found: cardboard (or wood), cotton wool (padding) and iron sheet (tin). A small brass column is fixed in the center of the box (it could be also used for a brass screw, 6-7 cm long). On the top of the brass column a blind hole will be drilled, 0.2-0.3 mm deep, and this will be the location of the conical pivot of the rotor (see table 1). A layer of cotton wool and a disk of iron sheet will be put on the bottom of the box. In order to be able to orient the stator to the four cardinal points, a compass, fixed at one end of a brass bar screwed to the bottom of the box and jutting out 6-7 cm (table 3, 4, and 5), can be used for. It is obvious that the stator can be oriented, only in the case it is mounted, by means a pivot, on a vertical support having a base plate (table 1). In this way the Rotorgon can rotate on the pivot, while the base support is maintained fixed. On the other end of the brass bar, when the upper edge of the box is high enough to hide the rotor, a mirror, fixed to the main structure of the instrument by means a hinge in such a way to allow changing inclination, will be needed. The rotor is composed of the following four part (see table 2):

The pin pivot can be obtained from one end of a needle. The collector consists of a cardboard disk (having diameter of 16-18 mm) with a hole in the center, in which the pivot, by a drop of glue, is fixed. The halo has three or four arms, fold downward with the function to lower the centre of gravity of the entire moving structure against the support point of the pivot. The arms can be obtained from a copper or steel wire (0.3 mm thick), opportunely shaped and welded to the collector disk through a little of glue. Instead of metal wires, paper streams can be used for, as well. The advantage in using paper streams is to notably reduce the weight of the moving structure (table 2A). Finally, the ring is obtained by designing and cutting out from a paper sheet (that used for printer is good enough) a double ring having external diameter of about 80-90 mm and internal diameter of 60-70 mm. Then, the ring will be connected to the arms of the halo by a drop of glue. It is mandatory now to clarify what position the rotor has, once it has been mounted on the conical bearing (blind hole), in respect to the semi box. It is, for an half part, protected by the half box, and the remaining half part, is exposed to the surrounding environment. This condition must be carefully followed and satisfied in order to make the instrument functioning. Other solutions, with some changes carried out on the above mentioned one, have been useful tested, as well. For instance, we obtained good results when the cut part of the box is just a little less than a half, in such a way to reduce the free space with the advantage to have more available space for the orgone accumulator. In this way, we do not have anymore a plane of diametrical section, but two planes angled between them 120° (instead of 180°). The wall of the half box, wrapping the half rotor, is cased with iron sheet, at distance of about 1-2 cm from the edge of the rotor. It is advisable not to reduce this distance if you want to avoid the rotor blocking up by the attraction exerted by the wall.


How to use it

If we charge the instrument by laying on the hands, even though at few millimetres far from the wall of the box and/or the bottom, we can observe that the rotor soon starts rotating. The rotation velocity depends on the duration of the charge and from the intensity of the transmitted energy. With good working condition, 18-20 rpm can be reached. The direction of the rotation depends on the instrument orientation versus the cardinal points. We have observed that if the direction E-W passes through the middle line of the box (or symmetry axis of the box, from the perpendicular plane to that one the box has been sectioned), in such a way the concave part of the box is oriented to W, the direction of the rotor rotation is almost always counterclockwise. Only in presence of atmospheric disturbance the direction of the rotation tends to reverse, as we discuss in the next chapter. In the case the orientation of the instrument is reversed, with the concave part of the half box towards E, the direction of the rotor rotation also changes and promptly reverts becoming clockwise. This could induce to think on the existence of an energetic current that passes through the instrument from W to E, according to the theory of the propagation of the cosmic orgonic wave. Charges induced by laying on the hands would not have other function that powering the weak energy channelled by the orgonic wave. According to this theory, the instrument would be affected from the combined influence of a main wave amplified and modulated by a local source of life energy. From this point of view the Rotorgon not always is able to make a reliable measurement of the intensity of the energy radiating from the hands, not being able to identify this energy from that one related to the orgonic wave that flows through. This would be confirmed by the fact that, keeping constant any other variable, laying the hands alone on the instrument, in order to induce in the rotor a constant rotation velocity, is not enough. On the contrary, we have seen that this velocity changes, keeping constant the psycho-physical condition of the operator, when other variables such as the atmospheric conditions change. Someone sees the spontaneous rotational motion of the rotor in somehow correlated to the dynamic nature of the orgonic energy that should have the characteristic to propagate itself by waves and in a spiral-shaped form. In particular condition a vortex could form inducing the rotation of the paper ring (rotor) immersed in this rotational field, as for a sort of electrostatic induction. It is a matter of fact that supplying electrostatic charges to the external coating of the stator power the performances of the Rotorgon, and this is well evident by a sudden acceleration of the rotor. The charge of the instrument can be also done by means of a glow-lamp (60-80 W), put at distance of 50-60 cm. In the case the instrument is subjected to an intermittent light lamp, the stopped rotor, starts rotating and accelerating as the frequency of the lamp gradually increases. However, it is very difficult to establish a synchronism between the light frequency and the rotation velocity of the rotor, that firstly accelerates and then goes out of phase, slows down and sometime stops. In this case variables not yet well known, such as the orgone accumulator, that can hold back part of the energy coming from the outside, and release the remaining one and perhaps also transform it, can play an important role. Generally, before to definitively stop, the rotor presents an intermittent motion: it stops, stays stopped for few seconds (the time needed for recharging) and then restarts rotating for some minutes and then it stops again. Definitive stopping is preceded by longer and longer stops. In this case it has been seen that usually the instrument continues working even with bad atmospheric condition (overcast or rain). In the case the bad weather lasts for some days, the rotor stops just after the charging. In fact, the Rotorgon works, once charged, by means of the flow of the orgonic wave passing through. This wave is thought having a pulsating nature and channels an energy depending on several parameters such as the weather condition. One of the variables that can affect the stopping of the rotor is the presence of the operator, mostly when he is entering the room where the instrument is located. It is well known from the syntropic principle (negative entropy), valid for all the living system, that a system with higher orgonotic potential draws energy to one at lower energetic level. In this case a flow of energy from the instrument to the operator is to be expected. When the instrument is completely charged, it has been seen that the opposite can happens. It is suggested to prepare the experiments in such a way to have a remote control of the instrument functioning, in order to avoid compromising the results of the test. A similar phenomenon to that above described can be observed even when approaching a plant or flowers to the running Rotorgon: the rotor definitively stops.

 

Duration of the charge

The duration of the charge is function of the orgonic potential of the environment: the lower is the difference of potential between the instrument and the environment, the longer is the duration of the discharge. However, when this time is higher than 24 hours, it seems we can not speak anymore about a discharge of the instrument. In this case, we can think about a sort of supply of local orgonic current to the instrument. This point is extremely interesting and would deserve to be studied in deep through systematic experiments. When we observe a so long and autonomous rotation of the rotor, with continuos and regular night and day motion, we are nearly forced to think about a supply of orgone energy from the surrounding environment. Lately, we observed that the spontaneous motion of the rotor is practically perpetual, night and day, even if interrupted, every so often, for short breaks needed for recharging.


The critical potential

The critical potential of the Rotorgon (Pcr) is the lowest level of energy needed to overcome the inertial forces of the moving structure and the modest friction of the pivot pin on its bearing. This value is a constructive characteristic of the instrument and represents the threshold above which the Rotorgon starts rotating. When the instrument is located in an environment having an energetic potential not high enough to continuously maintain in rotation the rotor (environment poor in life charge) but with an energetic level value almost equal to the critical potential Pcr, even a very low orgonic current can be detected by the instrument. In fact, the energy coming from this orgonic current, even having a potential lower than Pcr, is stored in the stator that, as we have said, is provided with an orgone accumulator. After sometime, the storing of this energy determines the increase of the stator potential (in the same way the storing of heat determines an increase in temperature) until to overcome the Pcr value. So, the rotor starts and keeps on rotating for a period depending on the quantity of the stored energy. During this phase, that we can call active phase, the instrument discharges, under the form of kinetic energy, the potential energy stored in the previous charging phase (called passive phase). In the case, the instrument is located in an environment where the potential is much lower than Pcr (unhealthy air and/or with high humidity and pollution agents), we have to supply energy (through a lamp, putting the instrument in a sunny location, radiating energy by laying on the hands, etc) to the instrument if we want it to detect the presence of the orgone current of the environment. On the contrary, we have to wait that the weather and seasonal conditions change, with the presence of a sufficiently active orgone energy flow, that promotes the rotation of the rotor. Lastly, if the atmospheric and environmental conditions are good enough, with a local orgone potential higher than Pcr, the instrument will have performances absolutely unexpected. Then, the rotor will detect, with its spontaneous, active and constant motion, all the power coming from the orgone wave. In this case, we can see, at any hour of the night and the day, that the rotation of the paper ring is very akin to something of living-like.


The orgonic wave

The orgonic wave that passes through the instrument consists of two semi-waves: the former is positive (peak) and the latter is negative (valley). The peak, with a potential higher than Pcr, induces the rotation of the rotor, while the negative semi-wave, with potential lower than Pcr, is not able to maintain it in rotation. The presence of an orgone wave is put in evidence by the Rotorgon even when, in favourable condition, the instrument continuously works. In fact, the motion of the rotor is almost never an uniform rotational motion, namely at constant velocity, but varies since the rotor is subjected to continue acceleration and deceleration. This can induce to think about a presence of an energy flow variable over the time. The instrument, immersed in an energy field that passes through, can works by itself, without supplying energy, provided that the environment can help it to. It is something like what happens to a galena radio. In this case, the channelled energy of the electromagnetic wave is able to make the membrane of the cuff hearing vibrating. The modulated wave is rectified from the crystal and made audible, but it is not amplified. If we want to pick up a remote station, and detect waves that channel lower energy, we have to recur to a local source of energy, amplifying the coming wave that then goes to feed the loudspeaker. In the same way the Rotorgon does and works. When the orgonic wave is particularly intense and/or the environmental conditions permit, the instrument detects it without the help of additional energy. When the wave is feeble and the instrument works in unfavourable conditions, it is necessary to feed it by supplying an additional energy, that primes the functioning. The function of the lamp (or any other auxiliary mean) can be compared to that of the current that feeds a radio device.

  1. The length of the orgonic wave
We have seen that the motion of the rotor consists of an accellerated-decelerated motion. Rarely, this last motion slows down until to stop: it is the necessary break for charging. However, usually is a continuing to follow one peaks and valleys to another, or, if we like, maximum and minimum velocity of rotation. In this regime of undulatory motion, it is not difficult to measure the time passing between two consecutive minimum, and this time is nothing else than the period T, namely the duration of an oscillation. It is a repeating data and always with the same value, and it assumes the meaning of a constant, often combined to its multiples (the harmonics). In order to calculate the length of the orgonic wave (l) we must know the velocity of the propagation, V. Reich said that this velocity should be a little higher than the rotation velocity of the earth, V' at the same location. According to the consideration of Reich, we can assume a value 10-20% more and for a location (Rome) at 42° of latitude N, we can obtain:
V=V'·1,15=352·1,15=405 m/sec
Following several measurements it has been found for T the value of about 25 sec for the fundamental one (and 50 and 75 for the harmonics). The length of the wave is given by the following:
l= V·T = 405·25 =10125 m


In case this could be an electromagnetic wave (but it is not), it should belong to the field of the long waves. The obtained value for l has been confirmed, as we can see later on, by measurements performed by using the Orgonometer. From the period T we can calculate the frequency, as follows: F = 1/T = 0,04 cycle/sec = 2,4 cycle/min
This velocity of the rotor belongs to the velocity range between 2 and 3 rpm. Based on this value, we can think that the velocities recorded by the Rotorgon, are nothing else that frequencies of as many different orgonic waves and that, what we have defined up to now as orgonic wave, in reality is the result of a bundle of (etheric) waves. Therefore the range of the waves detected by the instrument should be between 1000 and 10000 m.


The Rotorgon and meteorology

The variation of the weather conditions affects the performances of the instrument. This fact should not astonish if we think that every atmospheric disturbance always comes with more or less big variations of the physical parameters of the atmosphere (such as pressure, temperature, and air humidity), and particularly by a sudden change of the electric potential, and type and grade of ionisation. For instance, we observed that a good weather condition (shining sun in a clear sky) corresponds to the rotation of the rotor always in the same way. Obviously, the direction of rotation is function of the orientation of the instrument. So, when the instrument is oriented to W and we are seated in front of it, with the forehead to N, the direction of rotation always will be counterclockwise. The rotor tends assuming the characteristic undulatory behaviour of the velocity: it rotates with velocity that regularly increases and decreases, and never stops. When a weather disturbance comes from W, we know that the direction of the orgonic current inverts and, rather than propagates from W to E, will be directed from E to W. We can detect this change at first with an uncertainty in the direction of rotor rotation, becoming alternate, and then with a permanent inversion of the rotation direction. In presence of strong gusts of wind, that usually precede the thunderstorm caused by an advancing cold front, the released energy due to the merging of air masses at different electrical potential is such that the rotation of the rotor is nimble and active, as never before. It starts rotating by itself, without the help of external means, with constant velocity and continuously, clockwise, when the instrument is North or West oriented. In the case we are between two disturbances, even some hundreds of kilometres far, the former from E and the latter from W, the rotor detects this condition with a nearly absolute immobility. It is not at all able to respond to any external stress if not after some time and ends to assume a stall position. An analogous phenomenon can be observed when the area in which we perform the experiments is interested by a low pressure that extends also to a huge surrounding area: the rotation becomes very slow (1-2 rpm), even under the action of a lamp and the direction of rotation is sometime to the right and sometime to the left (alternate), with both orientations (to N or W). It seems attending to a stop of the propagation of the wave, whose effect would be that to create a pulsating field. We have seen that the mean velocity of rotor rotation is a recurring factor and one of the most significant because it gives us an useful indication about the intensity of the wave detected by the instrument, even though a more accurate evaluation of such a intensity is possible to obtain only by using an instrument called Orgonometer. The velocity of the rotor can be classified as follows:

that can be obtained charging the instrument by laying on the hands for a long time and for favourable environmental conditions. Higher velocities can be easily measured by using an appropriate stroboscopic device. Besides, we have seen that the approaching of a remarkable change in the weather can be predicted some hours in advance because the inversion of direction of the wave propagation is an early signal. It is evident that the optimum environment for a good performance of the instrument is in a sunny one, even though the instrument is shielded in such a way to protect it by sunrays. In these conditions high values of the mean rotation velocity (classified as very high) can be detected. The rotor, through its kind of motion, gives us some indications. It is like if one has an own language, that we should learn to decode with a careful and regular experimentation and several repeated tests. This language can be expressed as follows:
  1. direction of rotation, as follows:
  1. kind of motion, as follows:

Besides, from some observations, we have also seen that the rotor rotation can be affected by astronomical events such as lunar phases, solstices, equinoxes, sunspots, eclipses, etc.

Hypothesis on the basic principle on the rotor rotation

Electrical test performed on the Rotorgon outlined a polarisation of the orgone accumulator (the same phenomenon was also observed on the Magnetorgon). We found out the two jambs (or the extreme vertical borders of the box internal side) of the semi-box have opposite electric charge. The potential difference measured between the stator jambs, when opportunely screened, is of the order of some tenths of milliVolts (0.1-0.8 mV) as we can see better later on (see figures 4, 6 and 7).
We can suppose the left border of the half box (seeing while facing it) has positive sign and the right one has negative sign. As known, the paper ring is half-immersed in air in which always you can find positive and negative ions. So, depending on the prevailing of one the signs of the air ionic charge, the paper ring could be charged with positive or negative ions. In the first case the ring will be rejected from the positive charge present on the left jamb and attracted by the negative-charged right jamb.
In this way the ring will have a counterclockwise rotation motion (see picture 1 in fig. 1A). When, in the environment, in which the Rotorgon is located, prevails negative ions, the paper ring, when the air is particularly dry, is charged with negative sign, and it is rejected by the same sign of the right jamb and attracted by the positive sign of the left jamb, starting a right-handed or clockwise rotation motion (see picture 2 in fig. 1A).
Inside the semi-box the ring should result free from charges since the charges, whose it was the carrier, were neutralised by those of the respective jambs. The above hypothesis on the rotor rotation basic principle grounds on the following experimental observations:
1. when the rotor is completely located inside a closed orgone accumulator, such as the traditional ones, and hence, isolated from the outside environment, it does not rotate at all;
2. when the orientation of the Rotorgon is inverted, i. e. from West-East to East-West, it can be seen that also the direction of the rotor rotation is inverted, having constant the sign of the ionic charges of the air. In fact, the polarisation of the jambs is function of its position;
3. It is possible to change the orientation West-East to East-West, just rotating the stator on its pivot. In doing that the position of the jambs is inverted: A moves to the B position, and vice versa, but the sign remains in the same position: now you can find B positive and A negative (see picture 3 in fig. 1A). Seeing the semi-box facing it, the left jambs (A), that before was positive, now is become negative and also the rotor motion is inverted from counterclockwise to clockwise.
We can deduce that the sign of the jambs depends on the their position or its orientation in the space, and namely from the angulation the orgonic current has when flowing towards the accumulator.
