Patrick Flanagan is an American New Age author and inventor.

Flanagan has written books focused on Egyptian sacred geometry and Pyramidology. He holds several patents as an inventor.[1][2][3][4] He is also known for developing a method of drawing the geometrically complicated Sri Yantra.[5]

Pyramid power

Main article: Pyramid power

During the 1970s, Dr. Flanagan was a proponent of pyramid power.[6] He wrote several books and promoted it with lectures and seminars.[7] According to Flanagan, pyramids with the exact relative dimensions of Egyptian pyramids act as "an effective resonator of randomly polarized microwave signals which can be converted into electrical energy." [8] One of his first books, Pyramid Power, was featured in the lyrics and on the cover of The Alan Parsons Project album, Pyramid.

Claimed inventions and discoveries

In 1958, at the age of 14, Flanagan invented the Neurophone, which he said transmitted sound via the nervous system to the brain.[9] Life magazine[10] called him a "unique, mature and inquisitive scientist". In 1968, the invention was improved by the development of a means of simplifying speech waveforms, for which he received a patent.[11] The invention,which includes a Tesla coil, bypasses the 8th cranial hearing nerve and transmits sound into long term memory centers of the brain through a dormant amphibian hearing organ that was previously thought to be an organ of balance, the saccule.

In 1982, Flanagan and his wife, Gael Crystal, claimed the discovery of a new form of colloidal silica, known as a microcluster, in the glacial water consumed by the Hunza people of northern Pakistan. The Flanagans then sold a product utilizing the microclusters called Crystal Energy (the ingredients are water, silica, potassium carbonate, and magnesium sulfate), which they proclaim lowers the surface tension of drinking water.[12]
