I guess Carl is administrator here. So Carl,please give here extra instructions about further posts, if you please.You should limit some post here, unless they do not comprehend schematics and tech.

Obviously, I would like the discussions to remain rooted in technical issues. But LRLs in general are controversial, and there are strong opinions on both sides of the fence. So, I try to maintain an open forum that offers proponents and skeptics a place to discuss both technical and philosophical issues, without the censorship that has occurred on other sites. My only demand is that
everyone remain civil.
So far, I applaud the overall conduct of this forum. There have been occasional posts that have skirted the boundaries of ettiquette, but so far nothing that has provoked me to intervene.
It is my opinion that LRLs based on dowsing rods are nothing but exercises in self-deception. They simply do not work. When these types of LRLs are submitted to randomized blind tests, they perform no better than guessing, even in the hands of "experienced" users. Every time.
Some of the Mineoro locators, and other similar devices that have begun popping up, do not use dowsing in any way. The operational claims of these devices are not in line with known physics in several ways. I have asked repeatedly for experimental procedures that will validate the claims of these devices, but so far this has not happened.
I have personally tested and dissected a PDC205... it did not work, and based on what I found inside the device, it could not possibly work according to the operational claims. I have sent several emails to Mineoro in an effort to discuss my $25,000 challenge, but they will not reply.
It appears that the technical discussion has run its course. Without experiments that could demonstrate the claims of Mineoro, and without scientific tests that show the devices work, there is little else to do but argue the philosophical side. In my opinion, that is a waste of time.
Hung has mentioned that Damasio will visit the US for a demonstration of the FG78. I would like very much to be at that demonstration, and I will definitely offer my $25,000 to Damasio for a randomized blind test. Then we will see for certain whether it works.
