A Hieronymus machine is any of the patented radionics devices (a form of alternative medicine that claims disease can be diagnosed and treated by applying electromagnetic radiation) invented by electrical engineer Thomas Galen Hieronymus. Hieronymus received a U.S. Patent for his invention in 1949, which was described in the patent application title as a device for "detection of emanations from materials and measurement of the volumes thereof".
