James B. Beal

COMPREHENSIVE RESUME OF
JAMES B. BEAL

Mr. Beal was a Staff Engineer in the Advanced Processes Technology Department while at Martin Marietta Manned Space Systems, which occupies the NASA Michoud Facility in New Orleans, Louisiana.

He was responsible for determination of new nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technologies and processes (Digital X-ray, eddy current, electrostatic cooling) which may be applied to improve performance of current Space Shuttle External Fuel Tank materials and welds.

He is co-owner of patent 4,924,937, “Enhanced Electrostatic Cooling Apparatus,” a process to cool and strengthen thin aluminum welds on the External Tank. Prior to the above position, he was associated jointly with the Miami Heart Institute and Parkinson Foundation for two years as Research Engineer, providing technical support for research in electrotherapy, acupuncture electrophysiology, and environmental improvements to aid in healing processes.

Before that he was with NASA for ten years at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, where he worked on the Saturn V Apollo Space Program. At NASA/MSFC he developed NDE applications (acoustic, ultrasound, microwave, eddy current and thermal methods) for inspection of space launch vehicles. For many years he has been investigating potential applications of electromagnetic field (EMF) effects for environmental improvements to enhance long-term mental and physical health, and improve the healing process. Recently he has been supporting research about toxic elements in our breathing, eating, sleeping and working environments.

These can cause health-stress in system metabolic functions related to electrical and chemical sensitivities, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and a host of other problems not responding to current medical treatment (and primarily affecting women’s health).

Detailed reports have been presented for, and published by, the Neuroelectric Society, The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the Journal of Holistic Health, the John E. Fetzer Institute, The Institute of Noetic Sciences, The Brain/Mind Bulletin, The Center For Frontier Sciences, the DOE/EPRI Annual Review and the International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine. Mr. Beal has obtained numerous grants for travel and lectures in the areas of bioelectromagnetic field effects, and the future impact of environmental electromagnetic field effects (“perils and promises”).

Papers have been presented in the U.S.A., Canada, England, Netherlands, Switzerland, Israel, Czechoslovakia, Puerto Rico, and Mexico.

He has authored chapters in five books on related subjects. Mr. Beal retired in June 1992 from Martin Marietta.

He has initiated EMF Interface Consulting to supply services to individuals, researchers, public utility companies, industry, and the legal profession.

Services included information networking, writing, and lecturing about EMF effects on, and from, living systems.

He married Roberta Shoemaker(-Beal), Art Psychotherapist, in 1987.

Roberta has a son, Larry and a daughter, Elli. From a previous marriage

Mr. Beal has a married son, Daniel and a daughter, Jennifer.
