A large of experiments have been done to reveal the peculiar mysteries of outside vital energy of qigong recently. In this paper, several experimental results are presented. These experiments were carried out by cooperating with Shi Fengzhi who is director of research council on human body digital qigong, and with Chen Linfeng who is director of research council on Huilian qigong as well as Liu Chonglin.

l. Experimental apparatus and method

1) Experimental devices

Two block diagrams of experimental devices are shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. The experimental instrument used in these experiments are: Nal scintillation crystal detester, scalar, Am gamma-ray radioactive source, and lead plate with thickness 20 mm.

2)Description of experiments

In our experiment, the relative measuring method is used, i. e., the counting value of background and basic counting value of gamma source are measured at first, then several kinds of counting values are measured respectively. After all these done, they are compared with each other.

The experimental steps are as follow:

a) Qigong master grants an outside vital energy from Laogong region and his fingers under condition that the lead shielding exists or doesn't exist between qigong master and counter without gamma source.

b) There is or isn't shielding of lead plate between gamma source and detector. Qigong master don't grant outside vital energy of qigong.

2. Results and discussion

Table 1 and Table 2 give experimental data, we treated these data with method of mathematic statistics. The results show:

Table 1 Experimental data of penetrating capability of outside vital energy of qigong

item n bar [count/s] [count/s]
background 39.7 1.15

with outside vital energy

with lend plate, netting
outside vital energy 28.6 1.9

Table 2 experimental data of penetrating capability of gamma ray from Am gamma source

item n bar [count/s] [count/s]
background 39.7 1.15

without lead plate
gamma ray source 111541 61

with lead plate netting
count of source 111501.3 61

with lead plate netting
count of source 285.3 3.5

l) The count rate of outside vital energy of qigong with lead plate decreased by 11.5 percent compared with the counting rate of without lead plate only.

2) The counting rate of gamma source with lead plate but without outside vital energy decreased 99.7 percent compared with the counting rate without lead plate.

From above results, it is obvious that an outside vital energy of qigong possesses stronger penetrating capability. When it penetrates through the lead plate of thickness 20 mm, the counting rate decreases a little compared with that of gamma ray of source. This shows that an outside vital energy of qigong possesses stronger penetrating capability than gamma ray of Am source.

We obtained the conclusion as follow: the outside vital energy of qigong has same characteristics as gamma ray and it is a photon that has higher energy. It also possesses the base of matters as alpha, beta, and gamma ray.
