URL: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstantin_Meyl (API extract saved pages/wiki-de-meyl.json). An encyclopedia article; its framing ("pseudowissenschaftlich", "Skeptikerbewegung") is the article's characterisation.

Found [web]

  • Born 29 Aug 1952, Lemgo. Doctorate Universität Stuttgart 1984 (thesis "Dreidimensionale nichtlineare Berechnung von Wirbelstromkupplungen", Stuttgart 1984). Professor of power electronics at FH (now Hochschule) Furtwangen from 1986; retired 2018.
  • Furtwangen distanced itself: ideas "wissenschaftlich und methodisch nicht anerkannt, sondern in der Fachwelt äußerst umstritten"; not part of his faculty duties; he may not lecture on them at the university.
  • Critics named: Gerhard Bruhn (mathematics, TU Darmstadt, GWUP member), Klaus Keck; outside the skeptic movement Thomas Eibert evaluated some of Meyl's work for the Forschungsgemeinschaft Funk (FGF). Psiram gives the reference: T. F. Eibert, "Eine kritische Betrachtung der Theorien von K. Meyl", FGF Newsletter 1/2004 (Eibert later chair of high-frequency engineering, TU München).
  • IGF of the Göde-Wissenschaftsstiftung examined the kit and found everything explainable by transverse EM waves (Lecher line, harmonics).
  • Earth expansion: Meyl changes the expansion theory so that neutrino absorption, not aether, makes the Earth grow.
  • The cell-communication article was removed from two journals and a proceedings volume after editors found it published four times.
  • Novel "Sendetechnik der Götter" (3rd ed. 2004): neutrino telegraphy between Roman temples.
  • Works list with ISBNs: Potentialwirbel Bd.1 (1990, 3-9802542-1-6), Bd.2 (1992, 3-9802542-2-4); Elektromagnetische Umweltverträglichkeit Teil 1 (1996), 2 (1998), 3 (2002); Skalarwellentechnik 3rd ed. 2000 (3-9802542-6-7); Neutrino Power 2000 (3-9806584-8-1); Scalar Waves 2003 (3-9802542-4-0); Sendetechnik der Götter 2004.

Bearing

Historical record (priority 4) for all claims; names two records not in the folder: the Eibert/FGF 2004 assessment and the 1984 doctoral thesis (eddy currents: the root of the "potential vortex" as the dual of the eddy current, claim 1).
