[NewCandle] Aluminum and Copper Disc Weight Effects

[Nick Reiter]

Good morning, Fred and all,

I apologize, Fred, for not being able to get into the
meat of this.  Please know I had several technical
projects on my plate already, and a variety of other
non-technical ones scrambling for my attention.  And
my "day job" work at the lab on top of all that!

I feel I made a faithful attempt at trying to repeat
your early experiments, then following your phone call
and e-mails, I thought I had set up a decent little
variable field rig to try some combinations out.  In
addition to the Zr-Ni disc, I have also tried some
batteries and an aluminum cylinder plated with Ni. 
None of these did anything I could see as far as
pendulum type torque toward a particular electrode,
except for whichever electrode they were slightly
closer to.

See, Fred, I haven't had time to even compile these
results yet to share properly, but I have been playing
with it.

I have to confess that despite my best efforts, I have
just not been able to soak in the theory that you have
valiantly been trying to get across to us - mainly for
lack of sheer minutes I can devote to studying your
many e-mails and links, etc, I guess, not sure.  So I
have tried to run with what I THINK you are trying to
get at here, and have just so far not seen anything
that I can't explain outside of the field effects and
charge forces I have seen and fought for 20 years in
experiments where I am looking for very delicate
weight changes or motions in electrical fields.  I
apologize sincerely if I am just missing your premise
entirely.

Please don't abandon Newcandle list because I am not
providing the focus I might be able to under other
circumstances.  I think everyone appreciates your
ideas and input.  My chemotherapy will be done soon,
so maybe my head will clear a little more from the
muzzies after that.
