The book was featured on the cover and in the lyrics of the Alan Parsons Project album Pyramid , contributing to its popularity.
The original book has long been out of print; a revised edition was published in 1997 as "Pyramid Power: The Millennium Science" (BooksEnthsiast.com).
Pyramid power was the subject of a famous spoof by Martin Gardner in his Mathematical Games column in Scientific American ( June 1974), featuring his favorite characters Dr. Matrix and Iva Matrix .
Despite much criticism and disbelief, some individuals have reportedly successfully replicated some of the Pyramid Power experiments. One such person is Dr. Krasnoholovets, excerpt:
"Dr. Krasnoholovets built a small and simple resonator to study these pyramid effects, which appears to have been a piece of cardboard or glass folded in half to form a small “roof” structure. Within this small resonator, a KIO3*HIO3 crystal experienced a greater clustering of hydrogen atoms in the crystal. Rare gases and the surface of metals were also seen to have a photoelectric effect while in the resonator, meaning that they were producing light. [This seems to explain why the large outdoor pyramids could not involve metal in their construction.] Furthermore, Dr. Krasnoholovets replicated Patrick Flanagan’s historic “pyramid power” experiments by studying the effects on a razor blade within this resonator. The blade was aligned east to west, perpendicular to the Earth’s magnetic field, while a piece of the edge was removed and stored away from the resonator. Under scanning electron microscope, the edge of the razor blade from the resonator was seen to take on a smoother, less angular form over time."
