Energy Polariser

Ford and General Motors Holden were the main manufacturers of a locally designed cars in Australia. Both made cars with a 5 litre engine which were modified and used for racing.

In 1980 Peter Brock took over a company called the Holden Dealer Team (HDT), which started as Holden’s semi-official racing team, and was turned into a genuine Holden dealer-supported after he took over.

Peter was a race winner, then in his early 40s, lived like you’d expect with lots of booze and cigarettes and his health wasn’t great, so his girlfriend sent him to a doctor she knew and who taught her about the “New Age belief system with crystals and energy”. The doctor got him to eat healthier, quit smoking and drinking which he believed was because of the crystals and energy. Brock felt better and became a convert to the doctor’s philosophies.

Peter Brock was a truly gifted touring car driver and one of our best ever drivers but his downfall is truly fascinating, and involves a box of crystals and epoxy that tap into mythical orgone energy and align the molecules of whatever it’s attached to and called it an Energy Polarizer which sold for AU$890.

First unveiled in 1986 and then fitted as standard to every performance car sold by the HDT. The Energy Polarizer was, physically a plastic box filled with a pair of magnets separated by some crystals embedded in epoxy resin. It was held to the body of HDT cars with a single, self-tapping screw. At the time there was some kind of legal agreement that the Energy Polarizer could not be taken apart to see inside, in case the secret was used by their competitors.

Holden later officially ended all relationships with HDT and Brock.
