The TOTeM circuit does represent the "same technical system". Read Chapter 14 of ITMD, and you will see for yourself.

Your analogy is not a valid one.

Good. At least you understand my position. That's a start.

The purpose of TOTeM is not to "counterprove" any particular unit. The intention is to provide a fully documented circuit that anyone (with some basic knowledge of electronics) can build for themselves, and then use to gain an understanding of the so-called pistol detector technology. Using this knowledge they can determine for themselves whether the claims for these pistol detectors are true or false.

By building TOTeM, it is possible to get the same experience as other pistol detector builders. Then you will gain an understanding of how an electronic-only (no swivel handle) device can seemingly detect metal targets at a distance, without the ideomotor effect. Eventually you may get to understand how this is more a matter of psychology, rather than physics, and why it's a "trick of the mind".

In my experience, people like to come to their own conclusions and not simply be told "this is rubbish and doesn't work", or "yes, of course it works". You have to do the experiments yourself! There is no other alternative.
