[NewCandle] Aluminum and Copper Disc Weight Effects

[Frederick Sparber]

By The Way, Nick  the Charge Q is also a function of the number
of upper Fermi Level (conduction electrons) available from the
two materials.
IOW, ultra thin layers of material cannot provide enough of themfor the
required charge .
If  I recall the electroless nickel coating was less than 1/2 micron thick
which formed
sort of a "double dipole" with the zirconium, that aligned the disc in the
75,000 volt per meter Electric Field you provided.

If you can't stay focused on this topic, i'm out of here.
