At approximately 4 p.m. (in the presence of Ernst Kalmus, who is going to build the apparatus) I noticed the following disturbing phenomenon:
For test purposes, we placed a wooden sphere on a vertical shaft which rotated, together with the sphere, at a speed of one rotation every 6 seconds. I held a square piece of copper, then tin, which was hanging on a silk thread about 1 cm away from the equator of the rotating sphere. The piece of metal began to oscillate toward and away from the sphere. If the rotation was stopped, the swinging motion stopped. When the rotation was started again, the swinging motion started up once more. There was no swinging motion at the "south pole" of the rotating wooden sphere. From the equator to the north pole the swinging seemed to decrease in intensity (amplitude), but not in the number of swings. To my amazement, when several measurements were carried out with the stopwatch, the number of swings was about 64 per minute -- i.e., exactly the number that had been observed several days previously (on the rigid system).
The swinging motion was regular, but in air currents it was irregular. There was a not very clear trend for the [piece of metal] to be deflected in the direction of rotation. There can be no doubt about the action of the rotation of the orgone field.
If it should also be verified in a vacuum, after eliminating all the obscuring conditions, this phenomenon would have the following enormous significance:
1. The orgone energy field of rotating bodies pulsates.
2. Bodies in a rotating orgone field start to swing, a motion which is made up of attraction and repulsion.
3. The amplitude varies; the number of swings is constant at 64.
4. Corresponding to 1, can orgone energy be drawn from the air and directly converted into mechanical energy?
