Super Cool Dowsing Rods!!!!!!!
Intro: Super Cool Dowsing Rods!!!!!!!
This is an instructable on how to make dowsing rods.You use them to find things underground.Me and my dad used it to find our old water line and it was right on top of it.they work like metal detectors and can help to keep you from spending lots of money on professional ones.
STEP 1: Step 1:What Youll Need
You'll need:
1.36" of #4 Copper wire is the best but Anything bigger than
#10 copper will work.
2.20" of wire that you can wrap easily around the #4 copper
wire.
3.a hole and some whatever to put in it.(an old book,pvc
pipe,Wire,etc.)
4.some pliers.(if using #4 copper or bigger copper)

4.some pliers.(if using #4 copper or bigger copper)
STEP 2: Making the Rods
First cut the 36" long wire with the pliers back blades into 2
18" pieces. Then use the pliers to bend the last 6" of the wire
into a 90 degree angle to form the handle. Now use the small
wire and wrap it around the handle. This is not necessary but I
have experimented with that and found that it works slightly
better.

STEP 3: The Test
Dig a hole.
Put something in the hole.
Fill the hole back in.
Hold the rods very lightly & loosely so they can move very
Verry easily.
Hold them about 10" apart and walk over the area where you
buried the item.
The two rods should be attracted and cross where the item is
underground.
You can use them to loacate water pipes or whatever you want.
This was my first instructable and I hope you enjoyed it.

Wrong, only if Randi can't do the same thing using his magic tricks, besides he has very high negative psi abilities which make many things in his presents not work.

Theres lots of people have proved they do work, guess you missed that part

On top of this the "magic" which I hate that word because magic is science or technology that we can not yet explain or manipulate on command yet. Maybe it is the human that is the tool and the bent metal rod is just a prop to allow the person some plane of reference for what his senses are picking up from the environment. People want to make it sound like ideomotor effect is some how lame or not good enough. Personally I think only a small mind would fail to see how amazing this is. If through the process of ideomotor phenomenon a person is able to locate objects that he or she can not see with their eye's, hear with their ear's. smell or taste the real phenomenon is not making the stupid bent rod move but knowing when to make the bent rod move which is something unknown to the person using the dowsing rods. The rods could be anything the real issue is how does the person know when to make the rods cross. What is guiding their intuition which like wise cannot be proven to exist yet is accepted as a factual piece of the human mind by medicine. Why are some people "lucky" why are some people " really good at guessing".
So any attempt to remove the man or human from the experiment will always fail because the rods are just props. The needle on a meter has no bearing on the circuit itself if you remove the needle from a gauge but leave all the other parts in tact it still functions but you the human have no idea what the reading is. The needle is not part of the circuit it is their to allow you the human to see what the resistors, diodes and transformers are registering it is simply an indicator.
Also like anything some people are absolutely with out any talent for this type of thing while other's exceed the law of averages. So even if the user is moveing the rods that is not the issue who cares what is moving the rods what one should be looking at is how does the person that is more often right then wrong know "when" to move the rods.

I do know that many people claim that they have to be bent as close to 90 degree's as possible I doubt you could get a good bend that would stay put with plastic coat hanger's.
Also they where first made from wood 1000+ years ago and worked fine so I think they are not too picky about material but very picky about the bends. If you think it makes a difference it will. So if you think it has to be a magnetic substance then it does your mind is the key. This is why I say the human element is the most important . Keep at it the more you use them the better you get. I think the ideomotor effect is perfectly acceptable and not a reason or proof that they do not work if anything I think it is proof that the human body is doing all the work and the rods are just their to give you feedback you see. Some people after many many years of doing sowsing do it with no tools at all they learn to listen to what their body is telling them.

I've been doing this for years. I used to dig up water pipes for a living, and we'd always use the "guess and probe" method. Since I always had to put the grass back, it was a lot of work. One customer was watching me and showed me how to do this. He didn't tell me what was going to happen, just handed me the bent coathangers and told me to walk over where I thought the pipe was. I was skeptical, but watching for a dip, like the treebranch thing. The coathangers surprised the hell out of me by coming together over the pipe, they even align with the pipe (if you're walking over a pipe at an angle, one hanger will swing far, the other will swing shy).
I don't think I'm magical, I have taught many people to do this. No magic involved. Just because I can't explain it doesn't mean it's not working. We humans are far from knowing everything. The earth has been round for more than just the last few centuries since we could prove it!
