Boji Stones force field - answers on a postcard please
« on: January 29, 2023, 11:37:44 am »
Hello,
so i just got a pair of these curious rocks which some describe as 'electromagnetically charged' in online blurb. They do exhibit repulsion, very slight, when brought close on their long sides. I can then flip one stone around and still get repulsion, not attraction.
I've tested them down to the minimum i can read - 10uT - on my flux density meter, but no reading is evident. I've probed them for resistance. They are conductive and exhibit variable resistance in the kilo to megaohm range depending on the probe position.
But what is causing the repulsion? Are they somehow permanently electrically charged somewhere within such that the charge cannot dissipate?
It's a mystery i tell you.

I can say that the electric charge theory has zero traction. Electrostatic forces are tiny for any safe voltage, even in multi kV electrostatic voltmeters. You say that the stones are conductive, any charge capable of attraction or repulsion would have to reside on the outer surfaces and would be instantly discharged when you touched them.

I think this is probably one for the Dodgy Technology section.
Best Regards, Chris

Look at Kansas Pop Rocks -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concretion#Kansas_pop_rocks

They are real rocks, but mostly used for "metaphysical Healing". So ... yea.  ::)
I told my friends I could teach them to be funny, but they all just laughed at me.

Haha....thanks for ruling out the charge idea.
Well, they seem to be magnetic MONOpoles then with no detectable field. Help!

I remember the fuss in 1973 about the discovery of magnetic monopoles in cosmic rays over Sioux City, Iowa.
The theory (following Maxwell) that almost everyone on this site learned does not allow magnetic monopoles.
Further analysis of the particle tracks in the polycarbonate medium in the balloon experiment determined that they were platinum nuclei.
https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/PT.3.3328  covers the history of this and other experiments.
(One office at my university put a 60 cm square of LexanTM with its paper label in the glass window, offering monopoles for sale.)

Fill your bath, put them on Styrofoam floats close together, and see if they move apart.

Damn, i just tried but my bits of Styrofoam aren't big enough.
