Hi Merry. My booklet says that the pyramid effect seems to remove water
from things; it's dehydrating. Since bugs are small, the dehydration
apparently becomes fatal more quickly than it would for larger
creatures. Perhaps it does the same to bacteria, which may be why foods
and drinks don't spoil if the pyramid is set up properly. The taste of
foods and beverages is also supposed to improve after being under a
pyramid. The booklet suggests starting out with a small cardboard
pyramid for experimenting. The base is 9.42 or 9 and 5/16 inches square
and 4 triangles connect to each side of the base with the upper sides of
the triangles being 9 inches each. The base can be hinged so the top can
be opened. A compass or bar magnet, etc is needed to align one of the
sides of the pyramid's base north and south. I think electrical wiring
and large metal objects have to be avoided near the pyramid. Larger
pyramids have to have the same proportions. Multiply 9.42 and 9 by any
larger number than 1 to get the sizes for larger pyramids. For example,
9.42 and 9 times 10 is 94.2 inches for the base and 90 inches for the
upper sides of the triangles.
Aloha. Lloyd
