[snip] The only real problem I have with ejected electrons is the range. Even beta particles with energies of many MeV / particle only have a range in air of about a meter or so at best (rough estimate), while Tesla reported effects felt throughout his workshop. Other than EM radiation and neutrinos the only particles I can think of that might have the necessary range are muons, and I don't see any means by which they might have been created.
Of course there is still the possibility that what is really occurring is a first order electrical effect, as opposed to magnetism which as I understand it, is a second order effect. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/Project.html
