Jensen provided the schematic diagrams and parts layouts I used in my construction, and my correspondence with him has been most helpful to me in this project. The plans are available for free on the Internet, from the private archivist of Dr. The inner circuitry of the Hieronymus Radionic Analyzer is based on the 1980s circuit design of noted radionics researcher Dr. No, I wanted to go “old school”, and make something I could be proud of as a work of art, reminiscent of the fine handcrafted electrical machines of the early 20th century. Most Radionics machines sold today are either an “utilitarian” machine in a plain box or a briefcase, or an ultra-modern, sleek plastic box built with exotic materials, holographic panel art and rows of blinking LED lights.

Early electronic medical devices were often gorgeous works of industrial art and craft.

So I set out to build the kind of machine that would work for me – something artistically beautiful and stylish as well as functional, with well-crafted details and smooth, accurate controls.Īs a kind of retro-tech geek, I’ve always loved the look and feel of antique electronic devices and artistic Steampunk machine creations. If you’re going to do something, do it right! What I didn’t realize when I first set out to build this amazing machine that it was going to evolve from a weird science experiment to an expression of Art.įor Radionics to work, we’re told, the operator has to have a special rapport with his or her machine. Or real knobs that I knew weren’t actually connected to anything (like so many Radionics devices I’ve seen advertised.) While I can entertain the possibility of Radionics actually working, I never thought much of the Psionics idea of drawing pictures of machines and using cardboard cutouts for dials to practice Radionics – I’m an audio engineer by trade and I just couldn’t be comfortable with fake knobs. I’ve been wanting to study Radionics for some time, but I was never sufficiently motivated to expend the time and/or money to obtain a Radionics machine.
