This was a first class scientific experiment.
Single Charged Plates:
Plate 1, 186.9 grams/680 cm^2 = 0.275 grams/cm^2
Plate 2, 38.4 grams/130 cm^2 = 0.295 grams/cm^2
Plate 3, 11.9 grams/40 cm^2 = 0.298 grams/cm^2
The anomalous attraction toward the earth by plate 1 when it was
at a positive potential tends to support my contention that
electrons are antimatter wrt. protons/quarks, and with positive
charge attract matter. The 186.9 grams being 4.7 times the mass of
plate 2 and 15.7 times the mass of plate 3 would account
for the attraction while positive but repelling when negative, while
the lighter plates repelled with either positive or negative charge.
The experiment didn't take into account/mention the vacuum/air
capacitance between the plates and the earth, etc, further supporting the
earth's PPredominately Positive "Hypocharge" (~ est 13 coulombs at the surface)
which dwarfs the earth's electron "Hypocharge" by a factor of
at least 4,000.
Parallel Plate Capacitors:
The experiments tend to support the "Hypocharge" in the "stressed" dielectric hypothesis,
but, the application of pulsed capacitance (using coaxial or flat transmission lines)
needs to be tried.
Since the experiments were also performed in a faraday cage, the contention that "Hypocharge"
is oblivious to regular electrostatic shielding.
