mexican hat 2

After the unexpected results from the Mexican hat experiment, I was compelled to make a bigger one to see if bigger is better.  It seems I miscalculated the bottom mass and the result was a bowl shaped chunk of black orgonite with a proportionately smaller cone protruding from the center.  Although it was very good orgonite, it didn't come close to the extreme power of the previous, much smaller hat.  I now realize it was the shape that directed such concentrated energy and I'm just now starting to get a handle on it.

Aside from size and the somewhat flatter top on the larger one, the two objects on the left are identical.
Both have a cone of powdered iron oxide and aluminum with powdered crystal in the form of play sand.  The bases are equal amounts of sand and resin with powdered aluminum and trace amounts of iron oxide.  The different resin mixtures is to provide cascading densities where the medium density stimulates the higher density to ramp up its output.

Cascading densities works in the bigger ones so I figured, what the hell.

As soon as they came out of the molds I could tell these things were far from ordinary orgonite.  Both put out a very noticeable vibration buzz you can feel.  Clearly, the energy is concentrated at the cone peaks and feels more electric and alive than any non-powered unit previously made.  The larger one puts out slightly more energy but the energy signature is identical.  All in all, I'm impressed.

I wonder why I never considered this combination of shapes before.  After playing with this concept, I realize I overlooked a design aspect that should have been obvious.  Using the edge to direct the energy in a natural way brings better results than ignoring or obliterating the edge, and assume this stuff is releasing energy in the direction you expect it to go...  which is straight up like smoke coming out of a chimney.

A few thoughts... Will I get the same effect if I machine an edge in a location of my choosing?  Are round edges better than straight ones?  Will stacking them multiply the output?  What about a mobius?   

One thing I learned from years of working with this stuff is sometimes the laws of physics are replaced with guidelines of alchemy and things seldom work out the way you expect.  What should work sometimes doesn't and then a small change can have dramatic, unexpected results.  The idea that combining quartz and aluminum, the most abundant elements on the planet, can produce a substance so beneficial to humanity and can be made by anyone at little to no cost is nothing short of amazing.  Best of all, it's free!

Did someone say pyramid?

I'm on it.
