Bovis biometer
The Bovis Biometer is a measuring system developed by French physicist Alfred Bovis (1871–1947). It is used in radiesthesia to determine the energetic vibrational quality of a place, person or object.
According to this system, 1,000 Bovis units correspond to 1 nm in terms of conventional physics. However, the value is intended to represent so-called units of effect and therefore convey more than an ordinary wavelength measurement.
| 1,000 | considered a critically low, potentially fatal level. |
| 2,000–4,000 | typically associated with negative intersections of multiple zones and also described as a level associated with cancer. |
| 4,500–5,000 | associated with a person who is negative, exhausted or ill, or with a polluted or energetically compromised home. |
| 6,000–6,500 | considered the level of physical energy of a healthy person; a neutral value. |
| 7,000–8,000 | increased physical energy attributed to the influence of a particular place or spirituality; also associated with a cleansed home. |
| 8,000–12,000 | attributed to higher-quality orgonites and crystals, which are said to neutralise negative zones in their surroundings. |
| 10,000 | reported for Diamond Water or places where it is frequently used. |
| 11,000 | associated with places regarded as healing sites or places of power, including locations with menhirs. |
| 13,000 | described as an average non-material intensity on the energetic or etheric level. |
| 13,500 | described as an average non-material intensity on the energetic or etheric level. |
| 14,000 | attributed to certain locations within Hindu and Buddhist temples. |
| 18,000 | associated with places believed to emit exceptionally strong energy, as well as landscape harmonisation, crystals, pyramids, menhir circles, orgonites and sacred geometry. |
A place measuring below 5,500 Bovis units is believed to lower the vibration of people who spend time there, leaving them weakened and more susceptible to illness. Such places are also considered harmful to animals and plants and are said to place stress on biochemical processes at the cellular level.
