I will again refer you to this paragraph: I have learnt something. No matter how much you may wish you were good at something or could enjoy it, if you are not cut out for something and are making no progress and hating it and doing everything poorly and generally not even doing it then you should instead focus your energies onto something that you can proceed with and have passion for instead because when you have something you can burn the midnight oil for and push past failure that is something you will do good at, it is always possible to hire someone to do things you are no good at. I have got a "Labrage" full of stuff, but most of what I buy doesn't get used. Most of what I try and use I break. I am no good at construction, no good at testing. I have built things even long hard builds and essentially not even tested them for one reason or another. (In one case mortal fear of the thing flying apart) I find experimenting so tempting in theory but even when I have been getting results they have not spurred me on I can't say why. I drag my heels on any part of it, I know that if I just built stuff I would get success but I can't get myself to do that and I suffer from a big dose of analysis paralysis. On top of all that failure of an experiment hits me harder than it should. And btw I regularly fail to either correctly build circuits or to correctly detect them even though they are conventional. The fact that I first started experimentation on my ideas when my model was far too unformed to give a very good chance of getting everything right didn't help. Edison and his famous 10,000 experiments, not in my wildest dreams. You can call me crazy if you want but after a decade I have come to appreciate that I am not cut out for it, not the details (back when VCR's were used I'd always have one of the setting to record a program wrong) I am tempted to try this one but too many details of construction are unclear to me, what is the perfect way to do it? Even if I made it maybe say I don't get struck by lightening and it doesn't kill everything electronic I have then what? How do I even prove to your (Bill's) satisfaction that it is electrons and not microwaves exiting the shield? Of course is there any point in proving it since you would not believe me would you? And I am already convinced it's electrons. How would I make an overunity, or better yet to avoid being ignored by everyone a self powering device assuming it works? The basic idea is clear and is covered in the JLN patent but the actual engineering, finding ways to switch HV and avoid those speeding electrons while retaining the benefits is very well beyond me. I just talked to a guy on the phone who has a machine shop and says he can build anything and work in any material and doesn't have the screwed up pyschological aversions I have, He is the guy that killed all his diodes. Oh and I verified that he did have the arc negative. To me it makes more sense as I said the first time to do the things that you enjoy doing, can do with a passion and do a good job at, put long hours into and enjoy it . Not everyone has a natural talent for everything. It is not fun admitting that you are rubbish at something, but there you have it.
