I was reading Roger Wilcox's articles debunking "orgone energy" and "accumulators" (aka "orgone boxes", linked from the SkepDic entry I linked above), and musing about the similarities between Reich's crackpot theory and Belt's (child-like fixations on attributing magical properties to simple phenomena such as temperature gradients, and a penchant for imbuing the whole universe as well as living beings with extrascientific "fields" carrying beneficial metaphysical properties -- in addition to failing to constuct relevent experiments for testing their theories). Continuing to follow links however, I then arrived at the fun site for the American Stirling Company -- that model MM-7, now *there's* a gadget I'd put on top of my CD player! I'm sure it would defeat the "Intelligent Chip" plus an entire raft of Belt's Rainbow Foils in a fair fight (I recommend their FAQ too).
