i sift through instructables.com at work when im bored and came across this today:
http://www.instructables.com/id/Test-your-psychic-powers/
interesting read on its own, but what i found tangentially was the egely wheel ( http://www.egely.hu/) which is a neat commerical psi wheel.
in addition, the site the author runs ( http://www.badkungfu.net/) is somewhat interesting as well. the video included on page 4 of the instructable has a neat clip about obvious scientific explanations for psi wheel movement (though if you notice in the "vibrations" demonstration it looks much more like his mind spiked the wheel than the vibrations did).
just wanted to share the info see what you guys thought of the egely wheel and what this guy has to say.

I personally dont trust the pinwheels, too easy to affect even under a glass (air currents sometimes slip under) maybe if ones was vacuum sealed then perhaps. I think this is something close to it. http://ppsociety.com/forumtopic.php?id=1789 its a bit elaborate, but I would certainly use it.

The neat thing about the Instructable page is definitely in that they offer scientific explanations. The article comes off a bit fluffy, but considering it's aimed at everyone, it really does help out that someone's first encounter with these things will also include, " It can be faked. "

It looks like the 'Egely wheels' would be less prone to some of the problems a simple paper and pin psiwheel are. Especially that of wind/vibrations/breathing(ie wind again).
Cool beans. Anyone own one of these things ? :-P

That was assuming it works on the same principle. More information in english: http://www.kirlian.org/interesting/egely/index2.htm

Sorry for triple posts (NEED AN EDIT FEATURE AHH :-P).
But just seems like a big rip off too me. Maybe it's because I'm poor or whatever, but the price of these things seems... way too high. The explanation is a bit new-agey, but I won't hold that against anyone.
I don't know, I have this thing against stuff relating to 'psychic' phenomena being really expensive meaning that they are most likely a rip off.

I agree, and with stating so much in that page you posted, SheepKing, in so few lines and most of them beginning in, "This device..." it does seem very over the top. Tries too hard to sucker in consumers.

Meh...
They are referring to the "Million dollar scam" of Randi. Of course, that short-bearded santa is demanding some media-coverage these days for applicants to be accepted. Besides that, I saw somewhere that he is pulling his challenge back soon.

wow yeah, they are WAY too expensive... id consider maybe $20 or so for something like that, not 100/200+ . quite a shame.
i guess ill stick with the wheel under a glass for now... thats hard enough as it is.
