Welcome to The Integratron
www.integratron.com
 The Fusion
of Art, Science and Magic
The Integratron is an acoustically perfect
tabernacle and energy machine sited on a powerful geomagnetic vortex in the
magical Mojave Desert
The
Integratron is the creation of George Van Tassel, and is based on the design
of Moses’ Tabernacle, the writings of Nikola Tesla and telepathic directions
from extraterrestrials. This one-of-a-kind building is a 38-foot high,
55-foot diameter, non-metallic structure originally designed by Van Tassel
as a rejuvenation and time machine. Today, it is the only all-wood,
acoustically perfect sound chamber in the U.S.
