anyone can enlighten me on this?

Assuming for a moment the plasma was actually holding excess
electrons, why wouldn't they just fly to the inside of the glass
envelope, which is of course positively charged, and remain stuck on
that dielectric?
It's not so much seeing a reason for it to occur as i tend not to either as
much as there is evidence that it DOES in fact occur when the conditions are
met.

Hi,
The newspaper story is probably real, whether it is related to his
invention is another question :)
Do ask for a demonstration of a lightning strike on demand out of blue
sky before investing more time or money in this scheme.
BTW, if you want to learn more about capacitors, VDGs etc, I remember

Looks like a load of BS to me. Ask him to demonstrate his on-demand
lightning strike routine to you, but don't hold your breath until he
does :)
Removal of the outside sphere in a spherical capacitor is not
complicated BTW, just do it by bits. Only beware it takes work
(energy) to pull the
Note: I replied to this initially believing I was replying to a list I
joined for the Gray conversion tube, so it's slanted in that direction.

The invention is based on Faraday's problem:
Two concentric metal spheres do not touch and form a capcitor C.
That one is charged up to a potential V.
Then the outside sphere is removed.
The remaining sphere is a 1-terminal Capacitor c.
The potential on that sphere is momentarily C/c x V.
It is
