THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES
connections at the switch are not touching each other; you might
tape them to guard against this.
All these connections should be checked carefully to make
sure they are not touching others accidentally. But if you leave
the box open so you can see any problems and use clear tape
around connections to prevent accidental touching to the wrong
connection, it should work OK.
Finally, trace your current. It comes in from the Syncrometer
at the main terminal on the left. It is brought to the left plate.
When the switch is ON it is simultaneously brought to the right
plate. Notice that the plates are not connected to anything else.
They are simply capacitors, letting current in and out momen-
tarily and at a rate that is set by the frequency of the oscillator
circuit, about 1,000 hertz. This frequency goes up as the resis-
tance (of the circuit or your body) goes down.
The probe and handhold allow you to include yourself in the
Syncrometer circuit. You grasp these when testing. This makes
you part of the circuit.
The speaker lets you “listen” to the current. As resistance
drops, current goes higher and frequency goes up. As frequencies
go higher in the circuit, pitch goes higher. You will be comparing
the sound of a standard “control” current with a test current.
Using The Syncrometer............................................
Fill a saucer with cold filtered tap water. Fold a paper towel
four times and place it in this dish. It should be entirely wet.
Cut paper strips about 1 inch wide from a piece of white,
unfragranced, paper towel. Dampen a paper strip on the towel
and wind it around the copper pipe handhold to completely cover
it. The wetness improves conductivity and the paper towel keeps
the metal off your skin.
