ultilization of this2force (psychokinesis) are activelyI~ pursued, particularly
in the Soviet Union. However at present the type of ffact pyschokinesis
has on the strength of metal materials still remains un lear.
On the other hand, attempts at understanding the cience of parapyschology
in Japan, with the exception of certain specialists, hale been exceedingly
advanced, and debates over the existence or non-existenje of pyschokinesis
continue to appear in the mass media and other sources. That is, since
February, 1974 when /Yuri Gera?/ visited Japan and the 6n-the-spot broadcast
of the bending and breaking of a stainless steel spoon'py pyschokinesis was
broadcast on NTV's 11 PM (TV program) on February 25, a'number of boys and girls
who are said to possess paranormal abilities have come forth. Further,
researchers concerned with such phenomenon have attempted to provide
theoretical interpretations and-suppositions concerningg"these from their
respective positions. However, since there is an int hate interdependence
between psychokinesis and the minds and bodies of thoso!poss3ssing paranormal
are also cases of elastic deformation.
1. Int rodsict ion
Common sense suggests that there is no mutual relationship between the
spiritual and material. However, results of the development of the science
of parapsychology in the Soviet Union, the United State, and other nations
provides scientific evidence Jnj the action of the.spiritual on the material
to that of mechanical creep under constant Loading, but not ident ca .
The deformation by the PK action is mostly plastic deformation, but there
To investigate the effects of PK (psychokinesis) o4 the mechanical
properties of metal, a simple beam type bending test was, performed by four
boys who have special PSI energy.
(1) The PK action helps the plastic deformation by mechanical stress
under bending moment. (2) The plastic deformation by the PK action is similar

1~critism and resistance towards this type of phenomenon. On the other hand,
since it is a fact that there are people who naturally develop or develop
through religious discipline special abilities, we feel with certainty that
pyschokinesis'exists. Nonetheless, whether a spoon can be broken by
pyschokinesis has not , been. witnessed under experimental conditions and

2. Experimental Method
there were no people working under research commission in this report.
The apparatus used in the experiment, the.test specimen and the conditions
of the experiment were designed and prepared by the experimenters .(refer to
section 2;.4 below). The test subjects (refer to section 2.3 below) and
their guardians exerted no influence on these factors whatsoever. Further,
by. wooden boxes and held in place using tape. A notch approximately 60 and
1 mm deep was cut into the center of the match sticks w th a knife and on these
was placed the test specimen which was supported. in a simple beam type arrange-
ment. .. The bending experiment apparatus shown in the di,grs was set up on a
metal laboratory table (area of the table: 600 x 1000mm~ height about.750 mm,
weight about 100kg). This laboratory table stood on the concrete floor of the
laboratory and metal wedges were wedged between the legs and the floor to
make the table horizontal and sufficiently stable. The; flexure, 5 (mm), shown
in the diagram at the time a weight W (gr) had been applied to the test
specimen was measured using a standard height gauge (;, 4ommon height measuring
instrument having 1/S0mm calibrations which is used at machine factories).
Since the test subjects stated that a covering'would make the experiment hard
to conduct, and further since this was the first experiment, no special
covering was used. However, because of this sufficient.precautions had to
be taken to insure no one touched the wire during the experiments. A market
'ale weight (non-anagnet.je stainless steel) was used as the weight W (gr), which

2.2 Experimental Specimen
The wire used in this experiment was a standard, commercially marketed
wire (used to make artificial flowers) having a diameter d - 0.72 0 andi0ts 0.88 0,
a length of 1 -250 mm, a calibrated distance of 1, - 200 mm,and was condition at purchase (as commercially packaged, with no,special heat
conditioning carried out). These were prepared by all experimenters.
2.3. Tost Subjects (Persons with Paranormal Abilities)
The four test subjects who were kind enough to participate in these
experiments were Kiyota Masaaki, Sekiguchi Jun, Hirota Magoto, and Yamashita
[?] (age from 10-12). These test subjects and their guardians received no
compensation for participating in the experiment and participated out of
good will and with a positive cooperative attitude. Further, the test subjects
were not previously acquinted with the experimenters. Thus, this research
took place under conditions which demanded the cooperation and goodwill of
strangers.
2.4 The Experimenters
17 in all, were:
The people involved in this experiment as experimenters,
Ito Fumio, Ochi Yasuo, Kameda [?], Kan [?], Kurosaki Yokyu [?], Kobayashi
Nakamura Kazuo,
Akira, Kobayashi Seikichi, Sasaki Shigemi, [?], Tada Kazuo,
Deguchi [?], Nakayama Yoichi, Fujiki Magoto, Fujihara Eiji, Hare Seiichi,and
Misumi Uji. These people were all either professors, graduate students or
seniors in the mechanical engineering department at the University of Electro-
Communications. These experimenters had no special paranormal abilities (of
the type this report deals with), liked children in general, and had outgoing
(friendly) personalities. Further, although there were-those in this group
who had doubts concerning the exisitance of psychokinesis, there were none
who outright denied the possibility of such, and all held an interest in
such phenomenon.
2.5 Experimental Method
As shown in diagram 1, mechanical flexure, S , was measured when a weight,
W, was applied to the center of the wire. Next, in a pojition approximately
3-15 cm above the wire, the subject held his right or left palm face downward
and applied psychokinsis (PK) (note 1) for time segment, t minutes'(this was
recorded, for example in figure 3'below, as PK 4) and the flexure,
measured. In order to investigate the influence of creep (note 2), the
flexure, 6, was measured for time segment, t minutes, with the weight load
applied. These measurements

Three types of experimental apparatus used in the experiment were
set up in the experiment room and four experimenters, A, B,C and D were
stationed at each location. The measured values taken by A were recorded
by B on the prepared form shown in figure 2 (filled out for each individual
experiment), while ekperimenters C and D and the test subjects conducted
periodic checks and verifications. This report deals with the results of
one of the three types of experiments conducted, however, the experiments
were conducted under great care that the wire was not touched. However, in
spite of the precautions exercised by the experimenters and test subjects.,
the wire did get touched, and when it was judged that an accidental touching
of the wire had occurred, it was recorded on the records sheet and the values
were removed from the experimental, results obtained. In order to prevent
boredom or frustration in the test subjects as a'result of the monotony of
the experiments, in this report the experiments were conducted using a
system of periodic rotation of test subjects. Further, as concerned the
progress of the experiment and in order to build confidence in the test
subjects, a system of at first conducting very simple experiment conditions
and then gradually moving to more complicated experiments was adopted. In
other words, in diagrams 3 through 5 below, initially psychokinesis
experiments were conducted using large weights, W (gr) and as the experiment
progressed the psychokinesis experiments were conducted using smaller W (gr).

Results and Conditions of the Experiment
3.1 Results Obtained in the Experiment
Examples of the results obtained in these experiments is shown in
diagrams 3 through 5.. The verticle axis in the diagrams show weight, W (gr)
and the bending monent, which is the measured flexure value, 6 (mm), shown
on the horizontal axis. In the diagrams, ? indicates flexure obtained
through mechanical means and ' indicates flexure obtained through psychokinesis.
The numbers indicated in the diagrams show the elapsed time (minutes) of
psychokinesis and static creep. In other words, in the diagrams, when
flexure, 61, when weight W - Q, is d.
First the flexure, 6 (mm), was measured and recorded when W - 10 (gr)
was added. With W fixed, no transformations in o following a three minute
application of psychokinesis were observed (recorded as PK 3). Next, the
weight was increased to W - 20 (gr) and in the same manner 6 was measured
and recorded as a ?. Here psychokinesis was applied for four minutes, how-
ever again there was no change in 6. Next, the weight was increased to
W - 30 (gr) and after pyschokinesis had been applied for an eight minute
period, since a very slight flexure produced by psychokinesis occurred, this
was plotted as a ' and entered as PK 8. Finally, the above process was
repeated using increased weights in the weight application process (the
process of gradually increasing the weight) and a W- 6 curve was obtained.
At this time, for example when W - 70 (gr) and creep 6 was written,
this is shown by the symbol ?'* ?, in other.words, after W - 70 (gr) was
measured for the corresponding flexure, after it had been left as it was
(with weight still apllied) for 6 minutes at room temperature, the creep
which occurs is shown by the symbol ?--?. Next, while gradually decreasing
the load (weight removal process) in a manner similar to that described above,
a curve would then be obtained for W - S.
On one hand in diagram 3, in contrast to ?, in the measurement of
there was a certain degree of continuity in psychokinesis or a plastic
deformation 8 corresponding to ?-,' occurred as a result of psychokinesis,
or both of these occurred. Looking at the results, in the case of the W- 6
curve during the weight removal process, (when W - 40 (gr) and W - 60 (gr))
there was a unique rebounding effect (appearing as elastic deformation)
different from that appearing in figure 11 occurred and judging from the
fact that the amount of rebound was not completely a result of psychokinetic
flexure, but only a part of the process ( from elastic flexure ( 8
rebound) along with plastic flexure (A as a permanent deformation) can
said to be included in psychokinetic flexure.
Therefore, psychokinesis, as the cause of the unique elastic deformation
(rebound) mentioned above, since there is continuity in psychokinetic
flexure and the plastic deformation also occurred as a result of psychokinesis,
rather than this deformation can be judged to be a ' measured value. In
the diagram, assuming that there were no deformations, as will be seen in
the examination in section 4 below, a smooth deformation curve, such as
shown in broken lines,. should be obtained, however in actuality, because

the effects of psychokinesis were included, a unique step-shaped solid
line and the remarkable rebound curve obtained during load removal were
obtained. These phenomenon appeared even more pronounced during the weight
removal process (previously processed material). Further, it is believed
these curves are unique and can not be obtained using normal mechanical
methods.

3.2 Conditions During the Experiment
Guardians and concerned persons were kept in a room adjacent to the
room in which the experiments were being conducted and were cautioned not
to assist in the experiments, in a mectan.ical sense. They were free, however
to enter and leave the experiment room, sit in chairs provided, watch the
experiments take place and give encouragement, however they were not
permitted to become directly involved in the experiments. Further they were
asked not to sit near the test subjects. The room in which the experiments
took place was lighted with normal fluorescent lights which were kept at
reading brightness during the experiments.
The experiments were conducted on the first or second floor experiment
room at the department of mechanical engineering at the University of Electro-
communication (concrete building). Standard plastic (?] tiles covered the
concrete floor within the room. In front of the building there was a lawn
and behind the building there were woods. The experiments were conducted
four times during the period from June to September (Saturdays only). Since

on those particular days the weather was relatively clear, the glass windows
were opened slightly (to a degree that,the wind did not pose problems). The
room was arranged in such a manner to impart a comfortable. atmosphere with
regard to the test subjects. In other words, during the experiment a radio
was played at a low volume and household objects (bed, food utensils, comic
books, newspapers, calendars and snacks) were set out.
The experiments would begin around 5 or 6 in the evening and were stopped
at 10:30 in consideration of those who had to commute. The test subjects
were asked to come to the campus around 4 and played games on the lawn with
the students involved with the experiements for the two hours prior to the
experiment. This was done because it was difficult for psychokinesis to
occur for some time after having arrived. Also for this same reason, as
mentioned in section 2.5, a rotation system was used and as a result, in
this report no downward curve in the quality of the results obtained occurred.
(note 4).
At the beginning of the experiment, the test subjects were asked not
to use their hands at all and tried to deform the wire solely by concentrating
on the test specimen, however this approach was not successful under these
experimental conditions. Nonetheless, the test subjects and their guardians
have stated that such a method has been successful when conducted in their
yards.
During the experiment, the test subjects were seated in designated chairs
and appeared to carry out the experiments in their normal states of
consciousness without relying on any special spiritual concentration. In
other words, the test subjects did not carry out the experiments in a
hypnotized or induced trance state. As a result, in this case, irregular
breathing and weight loss were not encountered and further as far as one
could judge, there were no signs of any particular fatigue observed. In
the popular view, psychokinetic deformations bring up an image of remarkable
deformations occurring the instant the test subject demands (just by saying
"abracadabra") , however in actuality, it was usually the case that it
would occur unnoticed by the test subject and would be spotted by an
observant experimenter. Further, there were differences in the degree of
psychokinetic deformation among individuals, however after psychokinetic
deformation became possible, any number of attempts could be made with
psychokinetic results. In other words, there, was reproducibility in
psychokinetic deformation.
Next, in order to have numerical values for the mutual realtionship
between deformation by mechanical force and deformation by psychokinesis,
experiment results were compiled and examined comparitively.
3.3 The Relationship between Psychokinetic Deformation and Mechanical
Deformation
When expressing the bending moment, M, and flexure, a , obtained from
the results of the wire bending test as a curve, such curves as shown in
figure 6 and 7 , for example, are obtained. In these diagrams the verticle

shows the mechanical bending moment, M, and the ? and ' on the horizontal
axis show mechanical and psychokinetic 6 respectively. Note that the ?
which are plotted away from the broken line are assumed to have been
affected by psychokinesis. In the case in which there was absolutely no
psychokinetic action, in general, a familiar broken line M- d curve such as
appears in figure 11 is obtained and when nearing the maximuri,elastic moment
M (note 5) and when there is a M larger than M during the weight removal
process, since flexure by psychokinesis, (shownein the diagram as 6 pk)
occurs, along with the step like shaped curve shown in the diagrams, it is
seen that a unique M- d curve having rebound elasticity is obtained. The
6 indicated in the diagram is the 6 corresponding to M . Further,6 pk is
tfie actual value of the flexure occurring as a result of psychokinesis and
since M pk replaces 6 pk in the mechanical bending moment M, these are
termed the corresponding psychokinetic moment and the psychokinetic moment.
In other words, using mechanical means, since,only flexure 6 pk is obtained,
it signifies that the M pk bending moment is necessary. Finally in diagram
6 and 7, the numbers (no. 1), (no. 2).... (no. 6) refer to the number of the
test specimen used in the experiment (wire).

To summarize the results discussed above:

even at less than moment M , flexure 6 pk appears as a result of psychokinesis,
and in the case where bending moment M is M >0.6 Me, there is a tendency
for the larger the M the larger the 6 pk.
(2) In the case following plastic deformation (processed state) for

4.1 Creep Deformation and Psychokinetic Deformation
Within the stress range of fluid stress (note 7). it appears that creep
occurs in a mechanical and dynamic sense. First let's examine the relationship
between creep deformation and psychokinetic deformation. Creep deformation
was pronounced in the case of cantilever type bending experiments . For the
purpose of the examination, a mechanical or dynamic creep curve was drawn
for a stress larger than the yield stress, which is shown in figure 9 (a)
and (b). In other words, the graph shows flexure 6'(mm) on the verticle
axis and time (minutes) on the horizontal axis. The results obtained in
the experiment have a tendency to correspond with known primary creep,
transitional creep and logarithmic creep occurring at generally low stress
and low temperatures. Examples of the results for the examination of the
relationship between normal dynamic creep and psychokinetic deformation are
shown in figure 10 (a) through (d).

caused by a person with paranormal abilities, while '00 shows the 6 caused
by a normal person conducting the same actions as the person with paranormal
abilities (refer to section 2.5 Experimental Method). Comparing figures
9.and 10, there are clear differences in both these cases. In other words,
the dynamic creep curve in figure 9 is relatively gentle, however the
flexure caused by psychokinesis in figure 10 is broken.' Looking at figure
10, only when psychokinesis was occurring could a sudden increase in flexure
be observed ( for example '-*' ).
In the study above, the following results were obtained:
(1) 6 pk resembles creep deformation, but is not identical.
(2) within e pk a rebound effect (for example the decreasing 6
in figure 10 (b)) occurs.
(3) 6 pk appears for only an instant ( 6 was only observed for the
time note at the experiment point in the graph, and the-time up to that
point was not measured.)
4.2 Deformation by Dynamic Force
An example of the results obtained in the experiment are shown in figure
11 (a) and (b) in order to examine the relationship between flexure 6 pk which
is caused by psychokinesis and flexure caused by dynamic force. These results
show the case in which a normal person carried out the same experiment as
had been carried out by persons having paranormal abilities using the same
experimental apparatus as shown in figure 1. When both cases are compared,
it is noted that as the major difference, that in diagram 11 (a) and (b)
a step-shaped deformation and rebound as seen in diagrams 3 through 5 did
not occur. Further, diagram 11 (a) and (b) show a standard M- 6 curve,
therefore, the S pk and rebound explained in figure 3 and 6 above, can be
assumed to be the appearance of a phenomenon caused as a result of psychokinesis.

The following conclusions were obtained from the results of the
experiments described above:
5.1 Conditions Conducive to Psychokinetic Actions
(1) Psychokinetic results appear within the range at which a metal
nears or passes yield stress. In other words, psychokinesis is more
likely to occur in cases which are also conducive to creep.
(2) Psychokinetic results appear at stress levels below the yield stress
levels of materials (within the range of elastic stress) that have undergone
prior plastic strain.
5.2 The Relationship between Psychokinetic and Dynamic Strength
Indicated effects of psychokinesis on the dynamic and mechanical
properties of materials are believed to be on the stress rate, flexure rate,
and power. However, due to a lack of experimentation at present, on which
factor it has a maximum effect remains unclear.
(1) The progression of dynamic plastic deforamtion aids the action of
psychokinesis.
(2) Deformation caused by psychokinetic action is usually plastic
deformation, but there are some cases of elastic deformation
(3) Plastic deformation caused by psychokinetic action resembles creep
deformation under constant stress, however it is not identical.
From the above, it can be said that plastic deformation caused by the
action of dynamic force aids psychokinetic actions. In other words, if a
small force is added and psychokinetic action is included, it is believed
that the plastic deformation would advance even more remarkably (observed
comparison).
5.3 Now Psychokinesis Appears
(1) The instant psychokinesis occurs, plastic deformation is-aided
(advanced).
(2) Deformation progresses as a result of psychokinetic action, how-
ever it can be assumed that after action has stopped, some continuity is
maintained and continues to operate.
(3) The appearance of psychokinetic action have no special relation-
ship to public observation.
(4) According to information given by the test subjects (those having
paranormal abilities) there are periods when psychokinetic actions can be
F 1~ F1.

strong or weak and there. are periods when it occurs easily and those when
it is more difficult. However, within the scope of this report, psychokinetic
actions had reproducibility.
In the results above, only asmall part of the effects of psychokinetic
actions on the strngth of materials were examined experimentally. Further,
even within the narrow field dealt with in this report, since there are so
many unknown factors in relation to psychokinetic actions, there can be no
clear results until further studies are carried out.
A special characteristic in the above experiments has been the test
subjects, guardian, and experimenters successful completion of these experiments.
6. Expression of Gratitude
From our hearts we would like to thank the positive cooperation of
those involved in these experiments, and the patience of the test subjects
and their parents in what was surely a tiring experience.
Together with periodically sponsoring parapsychology conferences at
the University of Electro-Communications and for providing support and
guidence, we would like to xpress our gratitude to professor Okada Yoshio
of the University of Electro-Communication. Further we would like to give
thanks to both Miyauchi Tsutomu, directpr at the Japan Nen-graphy
Society, and (name?] of Japan Television for'providing the basis for these
experiments. Further we would like to thank the students at the University
of Electro-Communication for their cooperation and for staying from noon
until late at night on Saturdays to help. Without the goodwill of all of
the above, these experiemnts would not have been conducted.

Notes
note 1 PK is used as an abreviation of psychokinesis.
note 2 Within the transformation of plastic deforamtion occurring over
time, when a constant load is applied to a material, the increased
plastic deformation is termed creep . Plastic deformation refers
to non-reversible permanent deformation.
note 3 In the simple beam structure (wire) shown in diagram 1, the maximum
bending movement, M, at work at the center of the wire was calculated
to be M - (W/2) x.100 (kg-mm).
note 4 This refers to the downward performance and reults curve that occurs
with repetition ovdr a long time period.
note 5 In the wire bending experiemnts, the bending movement M at the
time the maximum stress within a cross section reaches the yield
stress 6 y is the maximum elasticity moment M e. In stress 6
strain t curves in the case of tension tests, 6 y is the slight bending
stress shown by plastic strain tL* ( about 0.2%). Stress 6 y is
normally b' - P/A when P is weight and A is the original area A..
Strain t., when a(represents the stretch, and * is the original length,
E - 41/1. Further aR in the case of plastic stretch (permanent
deformation) E is the plastic strain E? .
note 6 In the central region of the simple beam shown in diagram 1, a
weak layer within the cross section of the neutral surface remains,
and the overall plasiticity at the cross section is refered to as
the bending moment M p. In the neutral surface, stress 6;.occurring
on the beam as a result of the one-directional beding moment M, when
6 - 0 and tension stress is transformed into compressive stress, passes
the core of the rod (metal). Further the region of plascitity is
that region where plas is (permanent) deformation occurs. [?]
note 7 Yield stress is termed o y. A stress larger than o y is fluid stress.
In other words, when fuid stress is o f, o y o f. The relationship
between bending moment M and bending stress o , can be shown as 6 -
M y/ I where y is the distance from the neutral axis (M-0), I is the
secondary ser4tional movement, and in the case of the cylinderical
rod, I - R d /64 (d - diameter).
