Actually, I'll retract that 'Bugger!' remark. Ive just had a quick google for
the aforementioned machine and have seen that it was invented for the purpose
of receiving Psychic information and training psychic abilities. The only
similarities are that the Hieronymous machine will still work when components
of it are removed and replaced with psychic representations of them in the
spirit world. http://home.earthlink.net/~debbymayberry/hieronymus/Report1.htm
I am amazed that he managed to get a patent for it. At least the Blainey
machine isn't Patent, So build away. Free energy and supercomputers for all!
