The account
DIA's 1975 survey describes Pavlita's devices as able to be charged by touch or by concentrated attention, and says Czech expert commissions reportedly ruled out static electricity, air currents, heat and magnetism (p.2). It repeats claims that they speeded plant growth, cleaned polluted water, killed flies and made Pavlita's daughter dizzy, and speculates that larger versions could be anti-personnel weapons (p.3, p.5). No details of their construction were ever given to Western observers.
The sceptical view
The same report notes that in 1972 the head of Czech psychotronic research called the plant and water experiments 'ineffective' (p.3); the devices' workings were never disclosed for independent testing.
