Ever come across Kirlian photography ?

http://www.kirlian.net/

A couple asked me to make a Kirlian camera

http://www.kirlian.org/kirlian_camera.htm

based on a car alternator (cheap from the wreckers)

Apparently sticking a few kV up a pine cone proves something

Apparently. Proves I guess that anything will give off an aura
with enough encouragement. Sheesh

I kept thinking of the Monty Python Parrot sketch all the time I
was working on it. "Mate, this bird wouldn't voom if you put four
million volts through it"

I am so tempted to get into the "unconventional beliefs" market.
There are so many unswayable people whose money I would
gladly take if it makes them happy. And there's rich pickings to
be had
