Background discussion of TT`s Pyramid

[neptune]

@NickZ . what do you mean by a normal pyramid .I suppose you mean the Great pyramid in Egypt [cheops] .I would say that it is a  case of horses for courses , and having tried the classic design , TT has found by experiment what works best .

@K4ZEP . Ben , it looks like your theory about brass end caps has been vindicated . And likewise my theory about using this thread for stuff that is not directly relevant to construction . I did check the local DIY store to try and find a fitting like TT`s Tomorrow I will try a dedicated plummers merchant .

  Yes, that is what Thomas used but there is a reason why the replications of the original great pyramid are at 51 degrees, it is not by chance.  I don't know if Thomas has even tried it, as it looks like what he is using now is the same or similar to the pyramid he used years before.
My 6 foot pyramid is already at 51 degrees. So, if this pyramid output test works for some of you, I would then try it on my pyramid, even without any other changes to its shape.  It's a matter of perfecting the "reactor" to work with each particular set-up. It's not one size fits all.
I would be interested to know if the sides are absolutely needed, also. Maybe Thomas had tried it without the side panels on, also, and can tell what the difference was.

Good evening
Thank you, for your answers.
I read the references in question, about the pyramid.
But it's still doubt about what was done or advocated Thomas.

Because it does speak to the equilateral triangle, so angle of 60°.
And replicas provide varying angles of 51 ° to 54 ° ...
The sketch above is the idea that it is Pascuser.
And the sketch below is mine.
But Thomas's plan may be a mixture of both ...
That is to say ! That the confusion is total ...

"The one meter size Is the measure of the INSIDE of the gypsum flower" is a valuable indication (which is also in my opinion). But is that a deduction or the words of TT?
It is unfortunate these endless discussions since 2007, and the risk of defects for global citizens interested, while a simple focus on a scheme by Thomas Trawöger itself, resolve the uncertainty.
If differences in measurements and angles are not essential, the state would be nice.
And would use his time and intelligence for the rest of the experience ...

I will also repeat a simple pattern (the game of the summer  ) for a simple answer, without losing the author time, and, eliminating any worries of understanding for the readers.

...... In the Video's that Thomas put out, he used BRASS END CAPS for the reactor.  I believe this is important.  I don't know why (of course I have a theory but it is just that) ....

...I made a quick test with a fully copper Reactor ... same result as madsatbg...
(The fan turnes max a second,nothing else...)
So it´s important to get the brass distancer..

@k4zep
now, that Thomas confirmed that brass spacers between the two copper tubes are a critical factor without which the reactor will not produce current, please tell us your theory about why this may be so.
Thanks.

edit: it is probably very difficult to convey such a theory in a way that will be understandable. It will probably be much work and difficult to do.
However, if you think, that the different material (brass) between the two copper tubes/electrodes does impede/delay the signals which come from either tube (emanating from the oscillating potential of the sand) and that such an impedance/delay results in a phase shift between these signals ...
... then we are thinking in the same direction ...
