Refering to Pages 3.501.205 & 3.558.149 it is fairly clear that
the centre
rod you refer to is the connection to one end of the cathode
grid.... This means the connections they are using now is from No
2 to No 4 to heat the cathode element. and as you said there is no
anode connection.
I would agree with this.... with the proviso that
1) we have never been given a good schematic
2) the wiring is now quite different now than in the original
3) the blueprint is for the original
4) logic would dictate that the anode is at least grounded
IOW we really do not know, but there is the expectation, for me at
least in reading between the lines from email from N. M. that soon
a new version (ver 3.0 ??) will be online, and that new version
will be the one (not this version) which they hope to have
replicated. The suspicion is that there are problems with the
measurement setup in this version, but that it is still OU.
As to why it would seem that the device should be grounded... it
is powered by a MOSFET amp from a battery which would possibly
introduce a charge imbalance otherwise. However, maybe that is one
of the secrets, who knows.
Among the other "fringe" possibilities to explain this anomaly is
one that has not been mentioned so far - that a battery,
particularly a lead-acid battery, introduces a "heavy" electron.
Fred Sparber came up with the "electronium" (*e-) concept, and no
one has been able to shoot that hypothesis down yet.
"electronium" (*e-) is hypothesized to be a lepton-triad,
consisting of an e- bound to Ps, but not in the config you might
expect - more like a quark triad....which has the same charge as
an electron but about 3 times more mass. It would likely have an
affinity for heavy metals, where it would normally reside in an
inner orbital, because of its mass. Many anomalies have been
presented in the literature with battery power supplies, which are
absent when the power is switched to conventional.
That is pretty far-out but should be mentioned IF the OU effect is
only seen with battery power.
