George de la Warr
George de la Warr (born August 19, 1904 in Southwick , Sussex , † 1969 ) was a British civil engineer at Oxfordshire County Council.
In 1953 he resigned from his post, where he did research on radionics and was considered a pioneer.
De la Warr invented a camera that supposedly could detect diseases. In June 1960 he was sued by a disgruntled customer, Catherine Phillips , because his diagnostic equipment had made the patient's health worse. The plaintiff alleged that de la Warr's invention did not have the promised effect. The court could not determine whether his machine was working and therefore acquitted him.
He built the De La Warr laboratories in Oxford , where he continued research on radionics devices. In 1987 the laboratory was closed. The location of the radionics equipment including the original camera is unknown.
