ElopticEnergy Aformofenergyhithertounknownhasbeendiscovered,andabasicpatent hasbeenissuedcoveringitsuse. ThenameELOPTIChasbeencoinedandassignedtotheenergy.Thewordis takenfromthefirsttwolettersofelectricityandthewordoptic,becausethe energyhassome,butnotall,ofthecharacteristicsofboththoseformsof energy. Elopticenergyradiatesfromorisinsomemannergivenofffrom,orformsa forcefieldaround,everythinginourmaterialworldundernormalconditions atordinaryroomtemperatureandwithoutanytreatmentofanykind.Each elementandcombinationofelementsthatmakeupourmaterialworldgives offthisenergy;however,theenergyfromeachelementdiffersinfrequency fromtheradiationcomingfromeveryotherelement.Thus,wehaveameans ofdeterminingthecontentsofanunknownmaterialbyanalyzingthe radiationsfromitwithoutinanywaydestroyingordisturbingtheobjector materialinquestion,orhavingtoexciteitinanymanner. Elopticenergyobeyscertainlawsjustasdoeselectricity,heatandlight,and wehaveuncoveredman,butnotall,oftheselawsandhavelearnedmuch abouttheutilizationofelopticenergy. Justaselectricityinitsinfancyhadfewusesbecauselittlewasknownabout conductors,insulators,andthelawsgoverningtheactionoftheforce,soisthe useofelopticenergytodaylimitedonlybyavailabletechnology. Wehavebarelyscratchedthesurfaceofthepossibilities;however,thereare quiteafewusesthathavebeendevelopedandmuchisalreadyknownabout thebehaviorofelopticenergy. Wehaveidentifiedtheradiationsfromoveronethirdoftheelementsof materialmatter;theoneseasilyobtainedinrelativelypureformsuchas beryllium,carbon,magnesium,aluminum,iron,copper,zinc,silver,tin, tantalum,platinum,gold,lead,bismuth,etc.Carnotiteorehasbeenanalyzed forradiumanduranium.Manyoresampleshavebeenanalyzedtodetermine thevariouselementscontainedinthem,andthefindingshavebeenverified bymoreextensivechemical,spectrographicorotheranalyticalmethods.

ForthisreasonIprefertocallittheFinerMedia.

Titanium=(22x1.00758)+(28x1.00894)=50.41708 Chromium=(24x1.00758)+(26x1.00894)=50.41436 Difference=0.00272 Thesefactorsandtheprismdialsettingswereusedtoproducethecurve shown(NuclearWeightFactorvsPrismAngle).Oneoutstandingfactnoted wasthatthelighterthefactorvalue,thelowerthedialsettingorhigherthe frequencyoftheemanatingenergy.Anotherwasthesmoothnessofthecurve.
