i.e. it's a misnomer to call this device a battery - when the fact is that it does not store electromotive force inside it. It's an earlier version of Wilhelm Reich's 'orgone" accumulator, a box with walls made in a similar way to this instrument. It accumulates etheric-matter, resulting in a vital force which Reich called orgone energy. I think that Paramahamsa Yogananda referred to this etheric matter as life-trons, or that which contains or holds within its substance a vital force. More esoterically, that electrical force is described as having three component parts, in A Treatise on Cosmic Fire by Alice A Bailey. In fact, scientists may have a number of words to describe electricity, but they have not yet discovered exactly what it is... in essence, it remains one of life's secrets. Until our politicians and scientists stop playing with fire, so to speak - within nuclear fission reactors, which have been polluting the etheric planes of this planet for so long, and causing invisible but wanton destruction at that atomic level (dark matter), instead of investing in nuclear fusion, instead, I guess such secrets are hardly safe in our hands!
