Isn't the whole intent of the Examiner that it contains special inductive circuitry and special key-codes entered into the calculator for discrimination properties? That way, it works without the need for an ideomotor effect, and works regardless of what the operator is concentrating on, is left-handed, they are skeptical, or any of those other things you mentioned above? 
If J_P needs to be informed about all the stuff you mentioned above (in order to insure success), I suppose those same admonishments are in the Manual of Operation, and he will read them there. If he does not find them in the Manual, I guess he really needn't concern himself with them. 
Unless of course..... the Examiner he is testing is just another dowsing contraption.  |
Hi Theseus,
It is my understanding that the Examiner is powered by electronics that discriminate targets. It seems to me that what you say is correct. It operates as an electronic detector, not a dowsing rod. But as an electronic detector, part of the circuit is completed by the operator. From what I read about the operation of the Examiner, the connection to ground is completed by a capacitive coupling through the operator's body. However, the polarity of the operator is important in order for the current to flow correctly. According to the information I saw published, left-handed people have different polarity than right-handed. This causes an electronic problem with the locator circuitry. I don't fully understand how this works, but it is a test we can perform to see if it works as was published. I know some left-handed people who can try it to see what happens.
Best wishes,
J_P
