Description

(54) PENDULUMS FOR RADIESTHESIA OR WATER DIVINING (71) I, JEAN BORGNI, a French citizen of 4 Rue Xavier de Maistre, 06100 Nice, France, a French citizen, do hereby declare the invention, for which I pray that a patent may be granted to me, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement: The invention relates to pendulums used in the various areas of radiesthesia: waterdvining, finding creatures (living or dead) and articles, and medical and parapsychological investigations. Various improvements have been made to inert pendulums of all kinds. In particular, some have been equipped with means for amplifying the waves received, so eliminating regrettable errors. However, the amplification is not selective, and this causes difficulties for the operator.

To overcome these disadvantages the invention proposes that every device, with or without amplifying means, should be preceded by a sensor tuned to a frequency band encompassing the frequency of the subject of the investigations. This sensor, or antenna or scanner is followed by a conventional detecting device which can generally be followed by two electronic amplification stages comprising field effect transistors, as found commercially. The sensor will be set to select between 500 and 600 MHz. In this way the user of the pendulum receives not a confused mass of signals, but only those relevant to his investigation.

Thus according to the present invention there is provided a pendulum capable of detecting very small electric currents and adapted for use in radiesthesia or waterdivining, which comprises a pendulum bob and a thread or wire by means of which the pendulum bob is adapted to be suspended, characterised in that the pendulum bob contains an electronic circuit capable of selectively detecting radiation in which the bob is suspended thus to increase the discrimination of the pendulum, said circuit comprising a turned detector circuit adapted to detect radiation in the 500 to 600 MHz, followed by an amplifier stage.

A device embodying the invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 shows a cross-section through the pendulum, and Fig 2 is a circuit diagram of the detector, which is energised by a small battery.

A cavity or shell A in the bottom of the pendulum houses the battery B, for reasons of gravitational balance. The upper body part C of the pendulum contains an entry at the top for a suspending thread or wire D, which effects operation of a switch E (not shown in Fig 2) so that the battery does not supply current unless the pendulum is suspended, which connects F, G. The tuned detector-sensor assembly is shown installed at H but the miniaturised circuit (Fig 2) cannot be shown in the sectional drawing (Fig 1).

The detector-sensor assembly H comprises a circuit arrangement of a sensor coil S, capacitors C1, C2, C3, C4, resistors R1, R2, R3, R4, field effect transistor T and diodes D1, D2, connected as shown in Fig 2 and tuned to the desired selection frequency in the range 500 to 600 MHz.

The sensor coil S may be subject to the effect of the earth's magnetic field only, but alternatively a controllable influence may be exerted by means of a diamagnetic mass or body I. The drawing does not show the amplifying means, if any, since this may be conventional; in one such embodiment a system employing two field effect transistor stages is employed for amplification purposes.

The invention can be applied wherever conventional pendulums are used, and it replaces these in a remarkable fashion, eliminating errors in the interpretation of signals.

WHAT WE CLAIM IS: 1. A pendulum capable of detecting very small electric currents and adapted for use in radiesthesia or water-divining, which comprises a pendulum bob and a thread or wire by means of which the pendulum bob is adapted to be suspended, characterised in that the pendulum bob contains an electronic circuit capable of selectively detecting radiation in which the bob is suspended thus to increase the discrimination of the pendulum, said circuit comprising a tuned detector circuit adapted to detect radiation in the 500 to 600 MHz band, followed by an amplifier stage.

2. A pendulum as claimed in claim 1, comprising an antenna coil for detecting the radiation.

3. A pendulum as claimed in claim 2, including an adjustable diamagnetic mass for exerting a controllable influence on the said coil.

4. A pendulum as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the amplifier is such that in use detected radiation is amplified in two stages by means of field effect transistors.

5. A pendulum as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 4, such that it comes into operation solely by virtue of being suspended from the thread or wire, which actuates a switch for a battery.

6. A pendulum capable of detecting very small electric currents and adapted for use in radiesthesia or water-divining, substantially as herein described with reference to Fig 1 of the accompanying drawings.

7. A pendulum as claimed in any one of claims I to 6, including a detector substantially as illustrated in Fig 2 of the accompanying drawings.
