onan power

The term pyramid power was coined by Patrick Flanagan in 1973, to describe alleged supernatural properties of the ancient Egyptian pyramids and scale models thereof.

Pyramid power is one of the several alternative theories regarding pyramids, commonly referred to as pyramidology.

Claims

According to Flanagan, pyramids with the exact relative dimensions of Egyptian pyramids act as "an effective resonator of randomly polarized microwave signals which can be converted into electrical energy. " [1] Flanagan's claims range from enhancing the nutritional value of foods to sharpening knives by placing them under such a pyramid (aka the "Pat Flanagan Experimental Sensor") overnight.

V. Krasnoholovets claimed to have replicated some of those claims. Product Name · Category ·

These claims got scant credibility, even within the alternative science community. Pyramid power was the subject of an episode in the second season of the MythBusters TV series, where it was "busted” in a battery of tests.

Recently it has been claimed that, that, like alchemy, the concept of "pyramid power" is symbolic rather than literal, having to do with psychological effects and not physical ones.
