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 stated in the physics Books that it is virtually impossible to do in
practice, so when I offered the Invention to Canada in 1967 as a Birthday
Present, I was told that I was not a Patriot, I was an Idiot. It could
never, ever be done in practice.
The "Scientists" kept the denial, accompanied with ridicule and insults, up
to four months after the patents were granted.
Then, as they had lost "face", they called it a Minor Invention.
My US Patent Lawyer predicted the Nobel Prize.
I read that you have a large fluorescent tubw. That may not work.
That powder that is pasted to the glass will hinder the proper working in
thia circuit.
Maybe you can get a UV tube and wrap some Aluminum foil on the outside.
When that tube is fired you have a 2-terminal Capacitor, which you can
charge up to an higher DC Voltage.
Now you can use "Momentarily On" type Toggle switches but you cannot
activate them using your bare hands. You must use plastic rods. Otherwise
you may break your arm like I almost did when I used one tube and got a
150,000 volt poke. The switches would stand 250 V in insulation but not that
type of voltage.
The easiest way to make a power supply is:
Use a 12 Volt Car battery. Construct a transistor convertor, that runs in a
frequency of around 400 c/s. You can use 60 c/s but then the next part of
the high voltage may get too warm.
If you have the Reference Book for Radio Engineers, you will find a circuit
for a ladder/ multiplier circuit. In my edition there was a mistake. Make
sure that the "(" part of the capacitor is not connected to the + side in
the circuit. I used capacitors that were about .047, rated at 400 volts. I
got from a bunch of them around 4,000 volts, with a tap at 1200 Volts to
fire the tube.
Now, when I did it from my basement workshop, using only one tube, I fired
the tube, used the second toggle switch to charge the capacitor and next
released the switches. I got a heck of a poke, an explosion was heard
outside and the lights went out.
I went ouside and found the big Power Transformer on a pole, 150 feet away,
in flames. All of sudden there were two American Fighter planes, from the
base in Rochester , across Lake Ontario from my hometown Ajax, circling my
house. The guys flew as slow as possible and they were craning their necks
to see if they could see something. After a few minutes they left. I was
called out and when I came home, a new Power Transformer had been installed.
Luckily the Power Company blamed a squirrel. My TV and HiFi had been zapped.
I bought a slew of transistors and fixed both sets.
I measured the output of the unit in my Faraday Cage and found that I had
generated 150,00 volts. A few weeks later I used three tubes, using plastic
rods to activate the circuit. A scream from the kids, above my basement
workshop, informed me that the TV was on the blink again and so was the
HiFi. Then the telephones started to ring. All my neigbors, left, right,
across the road and behind me wondered if I could have a look at their TV.
Being one of these ultra "Good" type of neighbors I fixed all sets for free
but did not experiment at home anymore.
Next experiment was in the "sticks", the countryside.
I noticed a gaggle of Canada Geese in a Cornfield, where they were sampling
the quality of the ears.
I parked under a tree. I connected the output of the unit wih a wire to
Dogscrew, whith I put in the ground. It had been raining hard one half hour
before but now the sky was blue. I measured the polarity of the ground, it
wss negative. I figured that if I made the ground positive, these Geese
should fly up.
I went inside my truck and gave one pulse. One Goose flew up.
The second pulse made them all fly up. The third pulse invited a lightning
strike on the tree, set it on fire, scared the daylights out of me and some
poor rough-looking farm dogs, that had just arrived to check my credentials.
They were instantly transformed into the fastest whippets you have ever
seen. After ten minutes the fire extinguished and I went home. The three
tubes generated 500,000 Volts.
So, if you do any experimenting you should do it in an closed, all-metal
garden shed. First make sure, that all the metal parts are electrically
connected. Remove your digital watch and your cell phone. If you have a tube
Radio, you can have that going but no transistorized anythings (I hope you
do not have a heart pacer, or it will be the last thing you do.).
When I did it, there was only a little bit of "transitorized" in the
electronics but now you can zap TV's, Computers and Cell Phones!
Even your Car computer!
You will understand why I did not want a University involved. Any student
with a grudge could zap all the files and work of years.
The lawyers will have a feast day if they find out.
This is the device, that is inside these big spheres that Flying Saucers
have. In many newer crafts you do not see the spheres but hey are there!
The instant High Voltage depends on the fast extinguishing of the tube.
A fluoresent tube will have that fluoresing going for a while and mess up
your experment.
I got an e-mail from someone,who was doing it on his kitchen table. He had
it running, usuing a small motor to activate the swithes, stood up to get a
cup of coffie from the stove. A kind of lightning strike hit the unit, gave
his wife almost a heart attack and destroyed the kitchen table.
His TV was on the blink too.
So you will understand that it is not a toy.
I suggested to Dr. Teller, who was working on an anti-missile missile, that
they should equip it with this device. Any attacking missile would have lt's
electronics destroyed. They tried it, it worked. It is known as the E-Bomb.
Then someone from his group sold the invention for good money to an
"friendly" country. That "friendly" country used it successfully to destroy
a Japanese Spy Satellite.
Then the USA DOD refused to pay me, as the secrecy was compromised.
The seller lives now in luxury in a South American Country without
extradiction policies with the USA.
Now everybody is equipping the missiles with miniature tubes.
When I sent a copy of the Patent to the Nasa Propulsion Lab in Cleveland,
Ohio, the guys were aghast;
Who would need them if we could fly to the Moon in an hour, no matter where
it was located, without heat-shields, barf-bags or osteoporosis.
They were bein ppaid big bucks and were not going t kill the Goose that laid
Golden Eggs. "Not Interested, thank you for the copy of your Patent!"
Then we had the space disasters.
They decided to experiment with it, did not ask me for advice and blew the
big Power Transformer Sation on their grounds to Kingdom Come and blamed a
poor innocent little tree for the big black-out in parts of the USA and
Canada, four years ago.
So since then they will fight tooth and nail to make sure that every space
craft will use rockets.
Tesla used an application of the invention to tap power out of the aether
for his electric Piece Arrow Car in 1931. He refused to divulge how it
worked as he realixed that the system could also be used to supply electric
power to any dwelling on earth. The investors of the Niagara Falls Power
Plant, Pierpont Morgan and Rockefeller, would have had him murdered then and
there. He did not take a patent out but I did.
I am now slowly working on a systen to supply home power first.
Well John, I hope that you have enough info to try one and another.
Let me know how everything pans out.
