Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 Hello Sheila, Sorry, my use of the word " promote " was not intended to imply that you were making money out it or doing it in a commercial sense etc. Perhaps I should have said " advocate " . Best wishes Aubrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh boy, I, too, wish it were that simple and Rife-tech was as settled a matter as, say, the technology of building buggy whips. But, nope, t'aint the case. More conflict and divergent opinions about even the most basic issues in the field than a woods-ful of bull moose in rutting season. (No offense, gents; the ladies Rifers are equally feisty <gd & r>.) Shiela, you sound as if you've concluded that Rifetech is developed enough that it can simply be cook-booked. IMHO, though Rifestuff is more of a nutznboltz technology than radionics, it's still chok-a-blok with question marks and problematic assertions, missing and often contradictory, easily misunderstood documentation. For a sampling about that matter, read Aubrey Scoon's latest posts to the list as well as make a visit to his website, <http://www.scoon.co.uk/>. Click on the " Electrotherapy " link on his intro page, fasten your seat belt and settle back for an assumption-bumping ride. -=d=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2002 Report Share Posted August 1, 2002 Hello , The AZ-58 is not exactly a " true " Rife machine. It was made by Crane in 1958 (that's where the 58 comes from). Although the design was based roughly on the Beam Rays machines designed by Rife and Hoyland in the 1930's. The AZ-58 schematics have a few problems, I know of 4 people who have built AZ-58's and I know that at least 3 of them had to make modifications to get it to work. If you look at my web site http://www.scoon.co.uk under Electrotherapy and Rife sections, you'll find detailed schematics of a fully working 1939 Beam Rays machine that I reverse engineered a few months ago. And just today I posted details of some even earlier machines, one of them being around 1936 vintage and a possible candidate for the original Rife (a modified naval transmitter) which is driven by two Hartleys. Just place a switched capacitor bank on the Hartleys, and substitute a plasma tube for the antenna and you have a truly variable machine capable of the original Rife frequencies. Your analysis of the AZ-58 is of course correct, but the earlier machines were a bit different, they used sine waves not square and ran in the 80m band for the carrier with modulation up to 200KHz.
