Yes- I thought that there were others who strongly feel that the Graneau results are overblown or non-existent. Thanks for posting that.
BTW- George, have you seen anything of particular interest, or even seen at all, the plethora of Lindemann-inspired "water-sparking' videos which have turned up in recent days? Of course there is little supporting actual data, as of now, so this is more question of visual impact based on experience ... but to my thinking, there could be something to it. In that configuration - the diode does permit much more drain from the power supply after breakdown, which would have to be parasitic to the engine alternator, so no conclusions about the net power balance can be reached at all... except that it is probably lossy. However, I did take the liberty of submitting this concept to the Negre, MDI, AirCar people yesterday. They are in the best possible position to try it out, and to benefit, if there is anything to it. Whether or not they will seriously consider it and take it to the lab is another story, but this kind of tinkering is said to be Negre's forte, and I think he will try it.
