Although my point about "Why off limits?" stands, I thank you for the
correction. As a general comment, it is quite possible to be a good
physicist and a fairly lousy electrical engineer. Comments posted here about
3-phase plus ground power have not yet been addressed.

p15 states: " the TRIAC power supply has been replaced by a control
circuit having three-phase power input and single-phase output,
mounted within a box, the contents of which were not available for
inspection, inasmuch as they are part of the industrial trade
secret." I find it hard to believe that simply viewing the contents
of a box would be off limits. Perhaps it contained 100 Kg of
batteries, which is roughly sufficient to produce 500 W for 116
hours. Look at the two huge blue boxes in Fig. 16. Why would they be
off-limits? You can guess the nature of a proprietary waveform by
looking into a box? This really stinks.
You mean fig 6 ? Also shown in Fig 4.
The "big blue box" at the back are the closed doors of the shipping
container.
On the left of the picture you can see a small blue-and-yellow control
box, and three larger black-and yellow boxes with grills.
Those are about the right size for multi-kW Triacs. (Do you admit that
there ARE triacs, or do you think they've been replaced with 100-hour 4 kW
batteries?)
The blue and yellow control box is maybe 8 x 10 x 4 inches (wild guess).
Incidentally, ALL the equipment seems to go into one power socket. All
those laptops and stuff are going to LOVE that huge DC and RF fake power.
