Dr. Wallace C. Minto was a legitimate American physicist but he spent much of his scientific career investigating "fringe" physics - inventing aura meters and building various radionic and psychotronic devices. He is most famous for his "radio to talk to fish" which received considerable press coverage at one time.
Minto informed a scientist friend of mine 30 or 35 years ago that he and his father had built the world's first atomic reactor in their backyard in 1938, after they'd returned from a rock-hunting expedition out West with a car trunk full of uranium ore.
They used an empty in-ground concrete swimming pool, walling, flooring and roofing the pool with hundreds of lead automobile batteries.
According to the story the Mintos created a dozen or more trans-Uranian elements unknown to orthodox nuclear physics for the ensuing 10 or 15 years.
Hey, gang, I just re-tell 'em as I receive them here.
