Micheal - I'm interested in hearing more. Can you supply us with a link or other source for more information on this so-called "Cosmic Life Energy"? Also, could you describe the design of the concrete block freezer that Jim Shanesy claims you have built?
Micheal, you also state "The materials out of which a freezer is made will make a difference Alternating layers of inorganic (metal) and organic material (insulation) concentrate the energy. Block walls do not."
You may have been oversimplifying things for us, but I would like to point out to you that if your concrete block freezer uses an organic material for insulation inside of the concrete blocks, you also have a system of alternating layers of inorganic (concrete) and organic material (insulation) which would then concentrate the energy, and fog your film, at least according to your theory.
Jim, you state "The metal freezer might also have had current flow due to a short circuit or induction from the B field created by the compressor motor. The point is: the film fogged."
Jim, could you show where our photographic film and papers are sensitive to electrical fields? And I don't mean the high-voltage, high-frequency electricity such as that used in Kirklian photography (which really only photographes the glowin the air around the object caused by the electrical current, and not the electrical current itself). Do I need to aviod placing my film next to my timer, or the electrical wires in the walls? How much fogging am I getting from the motor in my Jobo?
I realize that this is a large format photography forum, but I really think that any claims (especially extra-ordinary claims) made here need to be supported by evidence. I have seen this 'cosmic ray amplification in freezers will fog film' claim made before elsewhere, but I find the claims to be unfounded. There is already enough "black-magic" in photography that I don't think we need to help propagate any more.
