or feeling no pain etc is a walk in the park by comparison. So gullible.
I'm somewhat a sceptic. If it's measureable then I want to see the proof. If they don't
have proof of what they claim then it might just be a placebo that has helped a lot of
people with various things, until proven either way.
It annoys me when people call bu11$h1t on something without proof. I'm not saying it
does or doesn't work but I wouldn't call people names (gullible/sad etc as if they are stupid!)
when you have no proof to back up your statement. I just wouldn't comment at all!
To answer the topic, I've had and seen mainly positive experiences with PB. I've heard
a lot of people call it a hoax. I've also seem people absolutely amazed by the tests over
and over again and still call it a hoax. Something to do with the unknown I guess.
I guess if you're into it then wear it, if not then don't.

). I know it's a personal thing. I was brought up in a religious family, regular churchgoers etc. I know that people feel their lives don't have meaning unless they have something to believe in. Their choice. Not mine, and it causes me to prejudge their intelligence. I'm aware that some religious people are super smart. But I like to stereotype by thinking they're not. Same with smoking - I like to stereotype by thinking that smokers are stupid, generally of lower intelligence. You'd have to be, right? But I know some very intelligent smokers. People who must've started after the health risks were known. People are funny.

. It's a piece of synthetic material. It's like plastic. How do you program plastic? In fact, it's an electrical insulator. How do you pass an electric signal into an insulator? It's unpossible.
They can make a battery equivalent to a regular "D" battery out of 2 round pieces of
paper that you get from a hole punch. Apparently it can be charged infinate times!
I have no idea how I can speak into a piece of plastic with stuff inside it and someone
on the other side of the world can hear you in real time if they listen to a similar device.
I have a basic understanding but thats about it.
Where do the 16 movies and bunch of music on my USB stick get stored? It's really small!
Milar is used to block/reflect radiation. Also....
"The unique qualities of Mylar made new consumer markets in magnetic audio and
video tape, capacitor dielectrics, packaging and batteries possible." So it looks like
it's ideal for storing frequencies. Thats just an uneducated interprutation of the above
statement.
There are a lot of things we haven't studied and don't understand. It only makes sense.
If someone told you these things would be possible 50 or more years ago you'd lock
'em up and throw away the key.
.
These things are all well understood. Just because you don't understand them doesn't mean they're magic. Mylar (as well as paper) or any dielectric insulator can be used as a layer between two layers of electrical conductor to form a capacitor. But alone it doesn't do anything. And it will self-discharge, capacitors don't store energy infinitely, in fact typically for a short time (according to very well known equations). And in order for a capacitor to store energy, it needs to have a voltage difference applied to it first.
Are Power Balance selling capacitors? If so, why not just say so? And why then would they emphasize the hologram? And do they need regular recharging from an electric circuit? Any electrical current produced by the human body would be minute and hardly enough to store much energy in a capacitor.
If these guys want any credibility, they need to show some understanding of what their product is, and provide some sort of reasonable explanation of their "technology".
If I could only think of how to extract $50.00 from every one that bought one, I would be now living in Paradise 24/7. Urrr thats 1,000,000 x $50 Mmmmmm!
I have a dilemma.
It would be easy to test the claims in a way that was less dodgey than the videos shown. At only $50 it would be no great loss to buy one (and a few of the 99 cent jobs for double blind testing) and do the tests.
But I don't want to give my money to such obvious scam artists.
Holograms are not electromagnetic devices. They are inert lumps of plastic. They don't do anything until you apply a laser to them.
I guess it is conceivable that electromagnetic radiation passing througbh a hologram could be affected by the hologram, but how could some drugged out Californian surfer discover that? What was he doing making holograms anyway? How does the energy know that I have a sore elbow that needs fixing?
The original claims say the system works by using ancient information. The holograms are simply a method of storing the information. Paper or clay tablets would work just as well. Arrrgggh!!!
Yeah, similar to what you're thinking Gorgo. "Frequency" is a count per unit of time. So you don't store a "frequency", you store some form of energy that "emits" at a given frequency. If they detailed what sort of energy was being stored and released it would be trivial to measure it, and measure the frequency that it's emitted at. E.g. if it's electrical, hook one of these up to an oscilloscope. If it's sound, or light, or heat, or ... measure it with the appropriate device.
Instead they rely on parlour tricks, and lemmings jump over themselves to buy the scam.
It would be trivial to test it if there was something to test.
How much are they, and where can you get them from ?? For the sake of a few left over gold coins from a night out, I might try one....
Fevola wears them, and he's kicking goals ! Seems to be no advantage in poker though !
After doing extensive research I've come up with the following list of users on this thread and whether they have tried the bracelet and whether they believe or not.

It is easy to see that overwhelmingly believers have tried it and non believers and fence sitters haven't.
Hi Oliver, I haven't got splinters up my bum yet !! I'm going to try it first, before I pass judgement, even 'if' the judgement is 'splinters' ! I'm actually a 'potential believer'. But I'm going to try it first.....
Um, yeah, you have been conned. You might think you're gaining something but if there any gains it's from your mind. It's not from the mylar hologram programmed with frequencies . It's like someone who always needs their lucky rabbit's foot, or four-leaf clover, or lucky red underpants or else they e.g. won't win their football match.
And saying you're older doesn't imply you're correct.
The problem I have is that you are all paying so much money for something worth a fraction of that cost. And I also have a problem with you believing there's something special about the thing. There is absolutely no evidence or explanation that there is anything worthwhile in these holograms. And the double blind test in the youtube video I linked earlier clearly demonstrates that there is no benefit at all in the holograms. It would be illustrative to conduct a larger double blind study to make sure it's statistically significant.
It's funny that when the tester and subject know the subject's holding the hologram it works. It's funnier that when they don't, it doesn't. Don't you think?

I had one brought for me and given to me about 2 months ago, I have worn it every day.
I have to be honest I have felt no difference what so ever
My work mate has one and reckons his balance is better.
Maybe mine is faulty, or maybe it has made a difference I jus dont notice it
