There are also circuit diagrams for 'e-meters' ... presumably targeted at a similar crowd.

Haha, these kind of quack science devices really annoy me.

Looking on eBay, there's some e-meters for £300. I'm sure a £3 multimeter would do a better job of measuring resistance ;)

I'm really curious as to whether the people that produce/sell these things, know they're crap, or whether they believe they work.
