[NewCandle] Another observation for Fred.

[Frederick Sparber]

Hi Keith.

Manipulating the ubiquitous atmospheric-earth charge/s isn't answering my
question regarding wether or not the earth's putative negative charge can
exert a force
on the zero net charge on a bimetal couple, or a battery or
a supercapacitor.

The contact of metal;A with metal B of a higher work function results
metat A becoming positively charged Qa and metal B equally negatively
charged
to Qb.
Like isolated highly charged plate capacitors that require many kilovolts
to get comparable charge they are in effect electric dipoles.

I think it was a nasa report that said that isolated high-field electric
dipoles
can interact with the ground??

Perhaps I should connect rigid wires to the aluminum foil, and pennies to
form a dipole "antenna"??

Fred
