[NewCandle] Cold Electricty

Hey J.

Nick's experiments indicate otherwise. As do Ron's
or so it seems. He (Ron) wouldn't be using them if he
didn't need them, would he? I think Nick is right
and that the junction capacity is so large it
swamps out the diode at high frequencies. It's
easy enough to test one if there is any question.

>Well don't forget those one-wire windings ...

What's so mysterious about that? The secondary
is being run as a half wave resonator. The primary looks
to have substantial capacitive coupling both
to ground and to the secondary. It all looks pretty
normal to my eyes.
 
>You missed the "Avramentko's plug?

Yes. I have heard of the term, but never looked into
it. And now that I google it, sure enough, that's
the diode loop. I'll spend a little time reading
about it now. Thanks for the tip!

You conservatives, always trying to get the government
to pay for everything! (grin). Why don't you form a
not for profit foundation and invest it with some
seed money of your own??? I'm serious about that last
line. Why not? I've actually had some direct experience
with that in the early 90's. One has to jump through a
few hoops to get recognition from the state, but even
the boneheaded lawyer we had was able to swing it.
It might make a better long term investment than all
that CA real estate that's burning up right now.
