A recent video by Popular Science delves into the world of quack medical devices from the early to mid-20th century. These gadgets were marketed as groundbreaking medical advancements, but in reality, they were nothing more than elaborate scams designed to deceive consumers.
One such device is the Atomotrone, which resembled a mini fridge and claimed to use colored lights and radio signals to “irradiate” food. However, despite its promises, the Atomotrone was ineffective and failed to deliver on its claims. Another type of device, known as “radon emanators,” actually exposed food and drinks to radioactive gas, which is a dangerous concept.
