Pyramid Power was recently "busted" as a myth on the Mythbusters show. However, I tried very similar controlled experiments about 30 years ago, when the "fad" was at its height, and got very different results than the Mythbusters did, which makes me very skeptical of whether this supposed "myth" was actually "busted" at all.
Here are the tests I performed:
First, I built a 2-foot high pyramid to the exact scale of the Great Pyramid of Cheops. I set up a test area outside on my patio.
The first test used milk. I had:
1. A petri dish of milk on a table, uncovered.
2. Another petri dish of milk, covered by the pyramid.
3. A third petri dish of milk, covered by a cardboard box (a cube shape).
I found that the milk under the cardboard box was the first to get sour and disgusting-looking. It spoiled faster than the milk that was uncovered, by about 3-4 days. The milk under the pyramid didn't spoil, even after three weeks. It just basically dried up and hardened, but didn't get moldy or infested with bugs. It also didn't smell as much.
The second test was with some red roses from my mom's garden. Again, I put a rose outside uncovered, one under the pyramid, and one under the box. The results were interesting. I didn't see any noticeable difference between the uncovered rose and the one under the box. They both got shriveled and brown at a pretty equal rate. The rose under the pyramid, however, did dry up and shrivel, but didn't turn brown or fall apart. It essentially just turned into a "dried flower," preserving most of its color.
I tried the razor blade test also -- this time with a small 6-inch pyramid, again built to scale of the Cheops pyramid. This one is tougher to scientifically test, because there are a bunch of variables that could change, depending on how much use and water exposure a blade gets, shaving length and habits, how warm the water is, etc. So I did it the best I could. I cycled through shaving with the blades, uncovered-boxed-pyramid, uncovered-boxed-pyramid, over and over, with about the same shaving length each time. After shaving, the blades would be returned to their respective places.
I found that the blade under the box dulled the fastest, again followed closely by the uncovered blade. The one under the pyramid did last about two weeks longer.
Note that my razor blade tests were appropriate for the effect that the pyramid is purported to have: simply a lengthening of time that the blade stays sharp. The Mythbusters conducted an experiment that tested whether the pyramid would sharpen an already dull blade. This is an incorrect test. The pyramid will not sharpen anything that is already dull.
Another decidedly non-scientific, but still interesting, experiment I did was with a big ant trail that was in my backyard. I set up some bait food for the ants. One bait item was set, uncovered, near the trail. Another was placed under a box, near the trail, with some holes cut in the sides of the box so the ants could more easily find their way in. A third bait item was placed under a 6-inch pyramid near the trail, again with small holes cut in the sides. The same type of bait was used for all three.
The ants quickly found and devoured (or took back to their anthole) the uncovered bait. The bait under the box took a bit longer for them to find, but once they did, they made quick work of it. The bait under the pyramid remained largely untouched. Ants sometimes crawled on the outside of the pyramid, some ventured inside briefly, only to come back out fairly quickly. This was the case even after a week. I can only assume that the ants just don't like whatever the pyramid is doing to them. I don't know what that would be, but whatever it is, the ants didn't like it.
I also tried drinking water that had been set under a pyramid for a day. Whether it kept me healthier is pretty tough to say. I didn't feel any appreciable difference at all.
Pyramid power is an interesting topic. I never really considered it to be a fad, because questions about the pyramids of the ancients have been around since, well, since the ancients. And there have been documented cases of people finding dead animals that had gotten into the great pyramids in Egypt and died, only to basically "dry up" and be fairly preserved rather than rot. So, I suggest simply keeping an open but skeptical mind about it, and try some of these things yourself and see what you find out. If nothing else, it's kind of fun.
I wuld further point out that Flanagan's final chapter is largely lifted, word for word without acknowledgment, from Carl Krafft's "The Ether and its Vortices" (1955).
Flannagan is no fraud. I vividly remember him appearing on one of the top late nite TV shows, I think it was Jay Leno if memory serves me. Patrick walked up to Jay as he came out and quickly swiped a small disc from Jay's chin down to his navel, and Jay nearly fell over from weakness! Jay was stunned and disoriented, and mumbled "what did you just DO?" Pat explained it was one of his nuclear discs I think he called it, then said "don't worry, I'll fix it," and passed the disc UP Jay's front this time and Jay immediately recovered his balance and composure. Anyone who knows about human energy systems will recognize that energy pass, but Pat's disc amplified it immensely. This isn't something a fraud could ever pull off, Jay had no idea what hit him, and Patrick explained the technology behind his printed circuit disc, etc.
Don't forget ladies and gentlemen, all great innovators of the past were RIDICULED before they became mainstream, Edison, Tesla, Pasteur, on an on, they were all denounced as insane frauds and charlatans in the beginning. In modern times science is the new "religion" that its members dare not stray from its hallowed laws and principles, lest they lose their tenure, jobs, and career. Whatever happened to the REAL spirit of scientific investigation without predjudice or ridicule, it got lost along the way, so Flannagan and others will always be on the fringes. If society were different for sure by now we'd all have free energy as Tesla envisioned and proved was possible, there would be no engery crisis, no polluted air and water. Profiteers will never allow this to happen....
