The Corum brothers did considerable research on ball-lightning: http://www.teslasociety.com/corum.htm
It can indeed 'go thru' glass, however, it never really touches the glass. I have a video from Dr. Corum about their experiments with ball lightning. Although, theirs may be somewhat different since it originates from RF (a tesla coil) whereas ball lightning from atmospheric electricity is very likely DC or VLF. >From the Corum's research, they identified 3 things required to generate BL: very high voltage potentials, carbon particles, and ozone (which is a given with electrical discharges going on). What the video showed is that as the ball approaches the glass, and then just before it contacts the glass, it begins shrinking, while simultaneously appearing and growing on the opposite side of the glass. This all happens so fast that it appears to go thru the glass; the vid has it in slo-mo so it's easy to see. -Mark From: Axil Axil [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2012 6:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Vo]:the Coil Reference in support of ball lightning passing through glass and attracted to conductors. http://www.scientificexploration.org/journal/jse_06_3_grivorev.pdf Presented in Table 1 are statistical data on the disappearance of BL in 746 cases in which the BL origin was on conductors. We mention in conclusion that, according to cited descriptions of BL and the statistical data, BL may simultaneously possess two exotic properties to which the present paper is devoted: to originate on a conductor (or to be absorbed by a conductor), and to penetrate through glass without affecting it (see descriptions 6, 9, 16, 34). Reference for ball lightning as Rydberg matter. http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/2003/sep/23/new-look-for-ball-light ning An Explanation of the Papp anomaly as follows:. When the axial confinement field of the coil is removed, Rydberg matter is no longer confined axially to the center of the cylinder. The energetic Rydberg matter then is free to pass through the cyclinder walls and is then attracted to the conductive copper wire. The electrostatic charge of theRydberg matter induces a electric charge in the copper wire which in turn producing heat.

I was out in a field with a powerline going through it. I first heard a loud humming noise and could feel the vibration in the air. I looked up and saw a large ball of sparks just hanging in the air sort of pulsing a bit. It lasted 10-15 seconds and the just sort of...evaporated. I found this article below http://www.goodfelloweb.com/nature/plasma/plasma0004.html I think Rossi is controlling the gremlin in the tube with flux from the coil On Sunday, August 12, 2012, Axil Axil wrote: I have the answer to why the gas leaves the cylinder and it is not teleportation. Ball lightning is Rydberg matter, and ball lightning has been known to pass through solid walls. If highly excited atoms have no coil to confine them to the center of the cylinder, they will pass through the cylinder walls in the same way that ball lightning can pass through solid walls. Simple, the Papp engine is making ball lightning. Cheers: Axil On Sun, Aug 12, 2012 at 5:00 PM, Axil Axil <[email protected]> wrote: did the "reaction" produce heat under those circumstances? Unknown. The only instance of heat production that I have run across is during the "anomaly". A coil wrapped according to the original Papp specs in the patent, is heated as the noble gases are teleported out of the cylinder ending in a vacuum in the cylinder. After the Pop is initiated, the coil is moved away from the portion of the cylinder that supports the gas. Only the copper of the coil is heated and not the plastic spool that supports the copper wire. This heat is produced even when the coil is grounded. See these YouTubes for specifics: Part 1 John Rohner describes anomaly of coil heating in noble gas engine during no movement (1 of 2) <http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Z0IPWmm7GDc> Part 2 John Rohner describes anomaly of coil heating in noble gas engine during no movement (2 of 2) <http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=jlgiwB8V4sc> Cheers: Axil On Sun, Aug 12, 2012 at 4:43 PM, Harry Veeder <[email protected]> wrote: did the "reaction" produce heat under those circumstances?
