Karl Hanz Welz

I have finally got around to reviewing Karl Hanz Welz website www.orgone.net regarding his initial invention of 'orgonite' (orgone/chi generators) and related radionic equipment. His thoughts on the subject of orgone, radionics, action at a distance, mesmer/reichenbach/reich (animal magnetism/od/orgone) are quite advanced and his explanations quite good. He points out 2 important features of 'orgone'. 1) Negative Entropy (energy moves from lower to higher potential until saturation is reached), 2) 'Structural links', e.g. the irrelavance of physical distance when moving energy between sympathetic forms (symbols, icons, 'radionic rates', totems, etc.)

Also, his design for 'orgonite' is ridiculously simple and very similar to the more widely known Don Croft designs. It requires an 'organic' material (paraffin wax or resin or epoxy or bees wax) and a metallic powder (like those available at art stores). Mix up the resin (or equivalent) with about 40% (volume? weight?) metallic powder in the desired form and let it set. Clearly I will have to max some pucks and rods and earth rods. He doesn't seem to see any importance to the embedded crystals in the Don Croft designs.
