I'll consider the possibility that adding a second potentiometer to a concept that simply does not work, might suddenly enable it to start working, no matter how remote that possibility is. However, I'll remain skeptical of Mineoro's claims, until I see one of their devices work in a fair test.
I have, in the past, offered my $25,000 challenge to Mineoro's US distributor. He declined. In July, I received an email from Mineoro:
Quote:
Dear Mr. Moreland,
We would like to double-accept your challenge, as :
- MINEORO manufacturer of electronic LRL and
- SEGMAX manufacturer of mechanical inertial detectors by ionic and electrostatics fields (not dowsing)
- Our system of detection is by ionic fields and electrostatic fields.
- It is neither electromagnetic nor terrestrial magnetic or magnets.
- Our condition is that you have to publish results on your site and forums in the USA, and also we will publish on our site, and other international sites.
- All our search here in Brazil will be audio-taped and filmed.
- The inventors prefer that Mr. Carl Moreland himself be present as a Proctor or witness to attend a demostration of a new phenomenom in the area of science. If that could not be possible we also accept another person graduated in Electric Engineering or Electronics.
- We will need documents signed by Carl Moreland autenticated by legal authorities in the USA.
- The inventors , claimants, are called:
a) Jonas Paulo Fernandes Damásio (70)
b) Victor Alonso C. O´Campos (63)
- After the rain, the ionic electrostatic fields take from 2 to 5 days to recover to an ideal amplitude. Therefore it will be necessary that Proctors will be able to stay in Brazil approximately 10 to 15 days.
We would like to make clear that we are going to claim your challenge as two different companies, Mineoro and Segmax, with two different LRLs, and when successfully completing the tests, you will have to pay USD 25.000 to each of the different Claimant companies.
Looking forward to your news,
Best Regards,
JPF Damásio

Oddly, when I tried to reply, I discovered that my email address was being blocked. I used an alternate method, and wrote:

Mr. Damásio,
There is only one $25,000 prize available. The first LRL that can be demonstrated using a double-blind protocol will win the prize and, after that, no other money is being offered. Therefore, Mineoro and Segmax may apply, but if one wins the prize the other cannot.
Please explain the need to stay 10 to 15 days. The standard double-blind test, as described on my web site, takes only a few hours at the most.
Regards,
Carl

I have yet to hear back from them.
