For many years in books and sites they write about the incredible properties of the pyramids. Among these properties, the miraculous impact is called, which the pyramids have on the severity of thin metal blades. We decided to check if such an effect exists in reality.
According to the authors of books and articles, if you place a razor blade into the structure of the pyramidal shape, after a while the cutting edge of the metal object is amazingly self -replaced. Some publications noted that for this blades should be oriented from north to south. Others talk about energy pyramids with other special properties. Successful experiments and even patents on such pyramids are often mentioned.
The idea of self -embarrassing of razors in the pyramids is widespread in journalistic And fiction, the videos on him are dedicated to YouTube and articles on Popular sites.
The myth of the so -called energy pyramids is widespread. It is believed that the constructions of the pyramidal form have therapeutic, canned, stimulating properties, corpses are supposedly mummified in them and other amazing transformations occur. People divided With each other, drawings of the "true" pyramids that can be easily built in domestic conditions and then use their strength. The pioneer of movement is considered to be a Frenchman Antoine Bow (also left his mark on Losomage). He put forward the hypothesis that the products could be stored for a long time in small models of the pyramids, and then became a witness to the mummification of a cat's corpse in a homemade pyramid. From the experiments of the boat, a whole pseudo -scientific theory has grown. In the post -Soviet space, the so -called Hunger pyramids - “bioenergy” structures erected according to the drawings of Russian engineer Alexander Hurd and supposedly harmonizing the structure of the surrounding space, bringing it into line with the ideal proportion of the golden section. None of the properties declared by hunger (among them there is even a cure for diseases) is confirmed by the official science, and the engineer himself more than once Passed Criticism on the part of the commission to combat pseudoscience and falsification of scientific research.
Now about razors. Many publications Reference to invention Czechoslovak radio engineer Karel Drilus. He came up with placing a razor blade for one to two weeks under a half pyramid made of dielectric material (hard paper, paraffin paper, hard cardboard or any plastic) and a focused on the cardinal points. According to DRBAL, as a result of his experiments, 16 blades were enough for 1778 shaving sessions (on average one blade for 111 sessions), while the razors usually lost their severity much earlier. In 1949, Drilus applied for a patent “A way to preserve the cutting edge of the acute razor” and three years later received a patent for the Czechoslovak Republic No. 91304, which was published on August 15, 1959.
The effect of self-substitution of the DRBAL without any details and schemes explains the exposure to the Earth’s magnetic field (contrary to esoteric articles in which the action of the pyramid of the DRBAL is associated with biofields), but even from its theory it does not follow that the pyramidal form is fundamental for the success of the experiment. In the text of the Patent of DRBAL, it is written: “In this invention, only the shape of the pyramid was used, but [this is the property] ... It can also apply to other geometric figures made of dielectric material. <...> This form also causes the regeneration of the sharp edges of the razor blades by reducing stresses and a decrease in the number of defects in the grids of crystalline units, in other words, restoring and updating the mechanical and physical properties of the blade. ”
Thus, even the author of the patent, on which the statement about the unusual property of the pyramids is based, did not limit this property to one figure. In addition, by modern standards, his experiment is not valid and does not satisfy scientific criteria. The problem is not only with the patent of Karel Drunbal - today there is completely no reliable information about serious scientific research in order to confirm or refute the effect of self -declaring blades in the pyramids or outside these structures.
Nowadays, indirect confirmation of the effect could serve as microphotography of the cutting edge, radiographs of its structure and other similar images. It is also unclear how much the psychological effect could influence the DRBAL experiment-the engineer could inspire himself that the razor still shaves cleanly. In other words, his experiments lack strictly controlled parameters. There were no them in the production of the show "Destroyers of legends", Whose creators in 2005 could not see the difference between the severity of the two halves of the razor, stored in the pyramid and outside it.
It should be noted that repeatedly in popular science magazines, arguments were published in favor of the existence of a self-interference phenomenon. So, in the article 1982 in the magazine "Chemistry and Life" A. B. Gerchikov He wrote: “If you explore the blade using a raster electron microscope that allows you to consider an object with a complex micro -relief, it turns out that the cutting edge consists of two parallel rows of sawn -shaped cloves with a hollow between them. <...> Some steel change their phase composition over time, they are aging. It can also cause extension of the cloves, their return to the same place. The mysterious cases of self-put razor, which are trying to associate with some fantastic forces, may well be explained by well-known processes like aging metal. Of course, self -substitution is possible only in microbes, and if a piece of blade has crushed the razor, then write disappeared. ”
In 2004 already in the magazine "Science and life”, Answering the question of one of the readers, noticed:“ The phenomenon of self -substitution really exists and has long been used in everyday life. One of the employees of our editorial office recalled that his father shaved all his life with two dangerous Zolingen razors. He used them one day later and never dragged them - only occasionally he slightly corrected the belt. However, the pyramids have nothing to do with it. You can put the blade in a glass cup or an enameled kettle, you can orient it from the west to the east or from top to bottom - there is no difference. This is what happens with a razor. In the process of shaving, the crystalline structure of the metal at the very tip, as it were, is “disheveled” - atoms change their position. However, the forces of intermediary interaction tend to return them to their former place and really return them after some time. This process is quite slow: if you use the blade every day or even every other day, it will inevitably become dull - atoms will take stable positions within the newly formed form of the blade. However, the phenomenon becomes quite obvious if the blade gives a rest for a week. ”
However, the scientific consultant “Checked”, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences and co-founder of the Dissernet community Andrei Rostovtsev criticized these arguments. “In my opinion, an explanation in“ science and life ”is complete nonsense. The process of returning atoms to its former place is fast, not slow. These are nanoseconds, not a day. In addition, the dimensions of the most acute blades are tens of thousands of times higher than the typical size on the atomic scale. Thus, the movements of individual atoms cannot have a noticeable effect on the mechanical properties of such a macro -object as a steel blade, ”said Rostovtsev. He also noted that the explanation from the magazine “Chemistry and Life” has not yet found scientific confirmation, although more than 40 years have passed.
Thus, today there is no serious evidence in favor of the existence of the phenomenon of self-substitution of razors as such, and the theory that the pyramids contribute to this effect is completely anti-scientific.
