The Integratron is a 38 foot diameter 55 foot diameter structure designed by Ufolog and Contactee George Van Tassel. Van Tassel claims that Integratron is capable of rejuvenating, anti gravity and time travel. He built a structure in Landers, California (near Joshua Tree), purportedly following instructions given by visitors from the planet Venus. The Integratron machine began in 1957, a structure founded in 1959. It was funded primarily by donations, including funds from Howard Hughes.
After Van Tassel's death in 1978, the building had a number of owners (and abandoned in various broken states) before Joanne's sister, Nancy, and Patty Karl bought it in the early 2000s. The sisters promoted the Integratron as a "perfect acoustic structure," offering tours and offering "sound-baths" they describe as "... meditation sessions such as those accompanied by the tone of a quartz bowl."

Construction
George Van Tassel is a former aircraft mechanic and flight inspector who moved to the California Mojave Desert to operate airports and inns. While there, he began meditating under the Giant Rock, which the Native Americans in the region considered sacred. In August 1953, Van Tassel claimed that he had been contacted both telepathically and then by people from outer space, who gave him the technique to rejuvenate the human cell network. Acting on this instruction, Van Tassel began building the Integratron in 1954. The construction cost was partly paid for by a series of annual UFO conventions, the Stone Giant Spacecraft Conventions, which continued for nearly 25 years. Construction of the main structure was completed around 1959, but Van Tassel continued to work on the device until his sudden death in 1978.

Claim
According to Van Tassel, Integratron work relies on a powerful generation of "intermittent magnetic fields" that produce plasma generation in the form of coronal release and negative air ionization within the building. Integratron is based on the Multiple Wave Oscillator created by Georges Lakhovsky. The Multiple Wave Oscillator is a combination of high voltage Tesla coil and Split-ring resonator that produces ultra wideband electromagnetic frequencies. Van Tassel speculates that electromagnetics affect biological cells, and believe that each biological cell has a unique resonance electromagnetic frequency (EMF). According to van Tassel, the ultra strong generation of EMF tape by Integratron "resonates" with cell frequencies and "replenishes" the cellular structure as if it were an electric battery. Van Tassel claims that human cells are "rejuvenated" while inside the structure. Van Tassel also claims that Integratron is intentionally built on a powerful geomagnetic anomaly and its construction is entirely non-ferromagnetic, equivalent to modern radomes.
The modern usage
After Van Tassel died, there was a proposal to turn Integratron into a disco, but the plan never materialized. The new owner Integratron operates it as a tourist attraction and offers a "sound bath" where a group of people "exposed to harmonic sound frequencies" produced by quartz bowls, is claimed to have a deep calming effect. According to one of the structural documents, the Integratron is a "perfect acoustic sound space".
