A Device to Measure the Force?

[Empress Palpatine]

I just found this link. There is an actual device that may actually measure chi or the Force:

I wish I had deeper pockets. I never knew a thing like this existed. Tools for Jedis and Sith?

An interesting concept, but to what end would it serve?

[Empress Palpatine]

You have no doubt felt the Force perhaps around a person or a thing or in an area. The Force has different "flavors" depending on what "vibe." I do not doubt that certain sensitive people feel things. I do. What I wonder is if it is something measurable. If this device will then that would prove that the Force is electricity, or at least that electricity is one of the aspects. This would give a major clue as to how to perfect the use of the Force.

It could be used to measure the effectiveness of a meditation. Let's say a fighter was going to meditate before a fight, like in some martial arts contest. If the person were Sith, he would meditate on anger or fury or something similar. He decides to test the meditation method ahead of time. He meditates on who he hates at work or school. A partner uses the device and takes readings. The next day he meditates on which politician he hates. He gets another measurement. Just for curiosity, he thinks happy and exciting thoughts and takes a reading. Then, he uses the method that got the highest reading and tries that for the contest. Just a possible example. The ad did say "Allows user to approximate electrical charges generated on the human body while walking or moving."

It would answer which emotions generate the most power. It may also answer whether it is emotions which give power or something else.

It may give clues to what the Force is and does. Curiosity I'd say.

It certainly would give way to some interesting experimentation. The question remains: Does it really work? That's the one question that keeps me from investigating.
Nothing to put a damp in your ego like spending money on something that doesn't work.
Though if you bite the bullet and get one, please let us know what you find out.

I'll confess, I hesitate to put out the money. If I saw the item at an event and could see if it really works, I might go for such.

There is all sorts of experimenting that could be done, but it is expensive to buy stuff to do it.

It reminds me of this site that I found some time ago.
