Albert Abrams (December 8, 1863 – January 13, 1924) was a fraudulent American physician, well known during his life for inventing machines, such as the "Oscilloclast" and the "Radioclast", which he falsely claimed could diagnose and cure almost any disease.[1] These claims were challenged from the outset. Towards the end of his life, and again shortly after his death, many of his machines and conclusions were demonstrated to be intentionally deceptive or false.[2]

"After the death of Dr. Abrams in 1924 it was proved that he was a faker, and that the claims he had made for his "oscilloclast" were absurd. This wonder box, when opened, was found to contain a small motor hooked up to an electric battery that made a purring noise, nothing else."
