Kain Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Some days ago, a friend of a friend told me about a device to exercise your ki or something like this. It's just an 8 cm long pin with the head pinned in an eraser. On top is a piece of paper 8 cm^2 (8*, folded and opened so that it takes a small pyramid like shape. Now this thing is REALLY unstable, it can rotate even whith the air waves of you scratching your nose, so you have to be alone in a quiet room and very careful. You place your hands at the sides, keeping some little distance, concentrate on the movement of the pyramid, and...Well, it is supposed to rotate if you do it correctly. It is hard to tell, really, because it moves with almost nothing. I tried it, it hardly (but did) work, and I still don't know if I just saw what I want to see, since I never exercised my concentration (at least never without doing karate moves).I just want to know the name of this device and find more information about it. Do you know it? Have you tried it? Does it work?Tell me what you think, I'm really curious.http://img15.imgspot.com/u/07/117/17/Picture3.jpg I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.--Confucius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordtariel Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I probably wouldn't bite on this either. There's no place like 127.0.0.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_ninja Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I probably wouldnt say it was effective,but then again you never know the best fight is one that doesnt happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozpunker Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Science!! It's a rather simple explanation. Convection. Your hands are warm and the heat rises, cool air moves in moving the paper. Here is a video that explains it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
