Why do you use the term spin torsion?

Our research has been into the phenomena that cause the dowsing response, a response that is normally associated with the search for water or other entities. However it has always been believed that the radiation that caused the dowsing response must have much wider effects than those observed when dowsing for water. A name to describe this radiation was thus needed. We have adopted the term spin torsion, as a working name. It was first introduced by Elie Cartan and has been used in earlier work by others including in the former USSR.

If you are interested in some of this background, S Kernbach has written a paper entitled "Unconventional research in USSR and Russia: short overview" that you can find here. https://arxiv.org/abs/1312.1148

How does this work?

The fringes that can be detected by using angled rods are interference fringes which are created by the interaction of spin torsion radiation between the experimenter and the system being measured. The angled rods themselves serve two purposes, firstly to act as antennae to pick up the 21.1cm torsion radiation and secondly as indicators of small movements of muscles in the arm and shoulders.

When an experimenter moves to a position at which the rods cross it is thought that the waveforms of the torsion field of the object being measured and the field of the experimenter coincide. This results in an exchange of 21.1cm high frequency energy which flows through the rods and the arms of the experimenter. This in turn causes a muscular action that results in a slight twist to the hands with the result that the rods which are held in a balanced state move towards one another.

It is important to remember that the experimenter (the measuring system) and the system being measured are dependent on one another. In science this is unusual, the measuring system usually being independent of the system being measured.

I can’t make any of this work

Although a reasonable proportion of the population appear to have the ability to use the detector rods, not everyone has. It may be that you fall into the latter category. However don’t give up straight away since there are a number of other possible reasons why it doesn't work for you.

a) Make sure that you are not wearing any jewellery such as rings, earrings or necklaces. Clothing can sometimes also have an effect and we recommend cotton rather than synthetic clothing. Don’t wear a belt.

b) Try again several times leaving a gap of a few days between each trial since torsion field disturbance effects may be affecting your ability.

c) Maybe it simply does not work for you. It doesn't for everyone. The current thinking is that this is maybe because your body geometry is simply not resonant at 21.1 cm. (See above How does this work?)

Isn’t what you describe just “Dowsing” by another name?

The term “dowsing” was originally used to describe the detection of underground mineral deposits and water although latterly its use has been widened to incorporate other things. We are not really interested in the detection of water etc as such but what we are interested in is the underlying physics. From what we believe we have discovered so far it appears that the fields that are described have a much broader range of effects than merely an explanation for the dowsing phenomena so we are reluctant to apply the narrower title of "dowsing" or Dowsing radiation to our work. Instead we use the term spin torsion radiation a term which originally came from research carried out in the former USSR

I can use detector rods but I don’t get the results that you describe.

We believe that anyone using the detector rods is both part of the system being measured and part of the measuring instrument. There are undoubted differences between people and depending on the experiment being carried out this can lead to different results being obtained. However it has often been found that the differences can be explained by previously unnoticed differences in technique or equipment. If you do get different results check the following.

a) Make sure that you are not wearing any jewelry such as rings, earrings or necklaces. Clothing can sometimes also have an effect and we recommend cotton rather than synthetic clothing, don’t wear a belt.

b) Make sure that you are holding the detector rods in the appropriate manner as described here....

c) Check if the Torsion Fields measurements are stable. Use the rods to attempt to detect the fringe created by an object such as a coin placed on the floor. If you detect a fringe and notice that its position changes when a number of subsequent measurements are made then it is likely that the field measurement is unstable and you will need to wait until conditions are calmer.

This sounds interesting but I am a professional scientist and feel uneasy about using detector rods.

If you are a scientist you will unfortunately find that only some of your colleagues (those who are more open minded) will take you seriously. Others may declare that it is perfectly obvious that no such effect exists and that you must be crazy to believe that it does. There are other avenues of investigation using 21.1cm microwave OAM detectors that have the potential to yield further results.
It is interesting to note that the history of Science is littered with major discoveries that no one at the time believed. There are some good examples here....

Why do some experiments use an east-west or a north-south alignment.

Some experiments use configurations that comprise two elements such as the two copper tubes in the Standard Interferometer used in the "Standard Interferometer, Annual Fringe Spacing Changes, And Phase-Space Locking" experiment. With this type of configuration the fringes that are observed using detector rods appear to be in a square grid format with sides of the squares aligned north-south or east-west. This appears to happen regardless of the orientation of the Interferometer. If such a Compact Interferometer were to be oriented in a random direction and then measurements were taken of fringe distances, the measurements would not be along the side of a square but would be at some angle across the square. Hence the fringe distance would depend on the orientation of the interferometer.

A second reason for aligning experiments in a north-south direction is where an experiment such as "Testing Detector Rods for Anisotropy" uses asymmetric fringes. Such fringes only occur in a north-south direction.

If there are lots of objects lying around, why is only one of them detected?

What appears to happen as an object is detected is that the experimenter has to repeatedly pass over or very near the object and that the detection of the object requires a number of passes. We believe that it is possible that some form of phase locking is taking place and that once an experimenter is locked to a test object he does not lock to a second one. If the object is smartly tapped or if the experimenter jumps and lands with a jolt what appears to happen is that the lock is lost and has to be built up again.

If the field can be blocked by a couple of crossed polyethylene sheets, how can it travel right through the planet?

Crossed polyethylene sheets appear to act as polarising filters. Two together block the Torsion radiation in the similar way to that where two polarising lenses taken from a pair of sun glasses block out all light when their polarisation directions are placed at right angles to one another. Because of the way that they are manufactured, being stretched along their length, the polyethylene sheets have an anisotropic molecular structure where the molecules in the sheet are elongated in one direction. It is questionable whether such structures occur naturally in the planet. In particular such structures are not likely to be present at a large scale or in the molten core.

Why is the device with two parallel tubes called an interferometer

The device is called an interferometer because as an experimenter walks away from it, the detector rods cross at repeated intervals. At the beginning of research in this area it seemed that this was analogous to the repeated bright and dark lines that can be seen in optical experiments such as the twin slit experiment and which are caused by interference effects. A parallel bar interferometer creates fringes that appear to be just dependent on the tube spacing whereas fringes from a single tube change their fringe distances throughout the day.

Why are the points that detector rods cross at called fringes

Detector rods cross at successive points when an experimenter walks away from the device called an interferometer, The crossing points are called fringes because they are analogous to interference fringes obtained in optical experiments. The use of the term "fringe" has been extended and now means any point at which the detector rods cross.
