Episode 123: The Story of The Integratron

In terms of the architecture, what makes the architecture special is it's all wood construction. There's no nails even used anymore. It's wood doweling. So these 16 ribs that sort of support this hemispherical umbrella dome, they're all wood doweled together. And they all meet in an oculus, which is an opening in the roof that's 1.5 tons of concrete and a material called micarta.

And that oculus is so heavy that it compresses everything down. So what makes it special is the structure is all wood. It's quite beautiful without ever intending to be beautiful. And it's remarkably strong. There was no damage from a 7.1 earthquake just three miles away. And George at the time even knew it would be strong.

And on top of it, what makes it special is acoustically, it's quite magical in there. Even though, again, that's a byproduct of everything else. The Integratron was intended to be a life extension machine based off a variety of studies, papers, information out there at the time about electricity.

So the way the integrotron was to function People walk in. There's one door. I think it's facing south. People walk in. They are to turn counterclockwise.

And as they walked counterclockwise, they were going to be the recipients of... a generous amount of electricity that would be regulated to the human cell through equipment that George operated in a control facility outside of the dome itself. And the belief was that if people undertook this walk, You know, they weren't supposed to wear any metal.

If they undertook this walk and were the recipients of this electrical charge, not to mention the billions of negative ions that the Integratron was intended to generate, that this could possibly be a means of life extension. So part of the way that the electricity was to be generated was was on the outside of the building. Originally, George Van Tassel had what's called a wind-sourced apparatus.

That's what he proposed. It's a way to generate electric static energy. There's 64 of these metal rods protruding out. He was able to flip a switch and to turn those rods on, and they were to spin really fast, generate electrical energy that a collector comb and some other aspects of the Integratron would collect.

and redistribute back inside the dome in a way that was to be safe and appropriate to regulating it toward the cells of the humans that were to walk through there. And George had a very strong belief in this because he believed very strongly in the connection between humans and electricity. In fact, there's a quote
