R.I.P. Lee Crock

I have done some reading and decided to build the device.

What I found vague was the reason of the amount of batteries and the type. Is this so the battery can cause more charge to accumulate on the sheet? And would Li-ion batteries work as good?

Hi broli

This thread seems to have gone quite, did you put one of these devices together?
I'm in the process of experimenting. Regards M

For anyone interested, Tom Berryhill (mistakenly called Berryman in an earlier post) sells the low draw switching circuits he made for Lee Crock @$150.00.

As of 2 weeks ago, he had a couple of demo Energy Cleaner units going for $200 dollars.

He can be reached via his email address   twb8899@yahoo.com

I did make a mat without the switiching device (couldn't find the schematic -thanks for posting it).  Used a 6' x 4' cut of aluminum screening and manually switched polarity every 15 minutes 2 or 3 times. Wasn't good for my marriage when I put it on the mattress - especially after the cut edges of screening kept getting caught on covers, pyjamas, skin... Hmm, maybe I'll put that downstairs.  The Lowes mat sounds good.

I think it was Jerry Decker who claimed he was using the device hooked to his car chassis (from the trunk) on long drives. He said he would feel refreshed after a drive (rather than drained), and his back didn't give him problems.

Maybe I'll try this again - thanks for the tip.

When I made mine, I cheated on the timer circuit. I happened to have a delay on/off timer that I powered through a 24VAC adapter. I then ran the batteries through the contacts. Quick and simple. I folded over the edges of the screen and taped them. Put the screen on the mattress and covered it with a sheet. You couldn't even tell it was there. I left it on all the time.

I did notice a difference at first, but after a few months it didn't seem to do much. Maybe the batteries went dead? I guess I should have checked them but you never have a load connected so I thought they would last a long time. Maybe it's time to throw it back on and try it again.

Hi Bob & Mr Mag
Well I finished my design based on a PIC micro controller which gives me precise timing intervals pulsing a biased coil change over relay. The circuit is powered from a 9 volt DC universal power supply.  "D" cell batteries  3 volt arrangement. I looked around for flexible mesh but decided on aluminium foil until I stumbled upon a foil backed foam camping mat on a roll. My wife suffers with arthritis so I placed this under the mattress. Twice she has woken up in the early hours with a strange tingling sensation through her body!! I don't know if anybody else has had a similar experience?  Interestingly while re checking my circuits etc I discovered the flylead clamped to what I thought was the bare foil of the mat  turned out to be a clear insulated film?? I have since lined the mat with ali foil and am re testing... she has not experienced any tingling as yet. So I'm not sure
if what she experienced was good or bad!
And... hey Bob, at least the tingling sensation was not caused by rough metal edges your comments made me laugh. Thanks for your replies Guys, Kind regards
