Background discussion of TT`s Pyramid

[neptune]

To replicate something from a set of plans or instructions can be deceptively difficult .It is quite different to building from a kit , where you have all the exact parts .When you have to obtain the parts separately , you always come up against the situation , where an exact part is unobtainable , and you have to use substitutes . The problem then is that if the thing does not work , you are unsure which substitute part is the problem . The problem is worse if the device originates from a country other than your own .Whilst progress is slow at present , if a successful replication occurs , things will go ballistic . In the meantime ,it does no harm to have background discussion and to ask questions , even if no answers are available at present .
      Some time ago , I speculated that according to classic wisdom , this shape of the pyramid is not ideal for concentrating vertical energy rays from the ground onto the reactor . I did a scale drawing , and it would appear that in a 1 metre pyramid , only about 5% of these vertical energy rays would strike the reactor . What is my conclusion ? Only that these rays are either not vertical , or they do not travel in straight lines , Or that the pyramid shape could be improved. Time will tell .
     Thomas says that he discovered pyramid energy by mistake . He built a small pyramid as an art project . He had some aluminium foil inside , which over time , was destroyed .This in itself would be worthy of replication . But more info would be needed . Size and material of pyramid . Its orientation .Did it sit on a node ? It would be some coincidence if it just happened to be aligned with the compass , and also sitting on a node . And for want of easier-to-work-with materials he just happened to find some old plasterboard in a skip/dumpster . And what does he mean by the aluminium foil being destroyed ? It just vanished , or oxidised , of evaporated or what ?  It is the nature of scientific people to ask questions . And in the absence of good answers we can only speculate . But it helps to pass the time . Typing this at the public library as my computer is still down .

Thanks for the reply, neptune.
I'm not trying to say it's bad to think about it, but when it seems we don't even understand the basics of WHY it works, it's seems a giant leap to begin speculating at all manner of what-ifs.  I suspect there's more to his story than he's letting on (i.e., something after his initial discovery of pyramid energies.)  It's quite a huge leap from there to what he has working (a bit like saying an eyeball evolved by itself.)  I'm grateful he's sharing what he is.  Did he ever say why he came back on the scene now after the 2006 shutdown of his website and the interest by other funders, etc?

@tjlitke .The limited info that we have about TT`s "comeback" is given on his instructional videos . I think that he discovered that it is difficult if not impossible to get rich from something like this [unless you are a lawyer] .I think that he figures that by giving away his basic technology , he hopes others will progress his research and everyone will benefit .He openly admits that he knows more than he is saying ,and ultimately , who can blame him ? The breakthrough will probably come when Ben [K4ZEP] and Freigheist on the german forums receive their ready made reactors from TT . In view of my limited resources I have elected not to build untill I see independent replication . In the meantime , speculation is cheap and entertaining .

One problem I have always had with TT`s work , is that previously ,I had decided that dowsing was Bullshine . I decided to suspend my disbelief whilst waiting to see if anyone could replicate the pyramid .The whole picture is very confusing , in that there have been many investigations into dowsing , with widely differing results . I am now doing some research into these tests . Pascuser has pointed out that there are dowsers in France who are paid by results , and have not yet starved to death . K4Zep is a big believer , and a dowser himself .One of the best articles was the work of the Society for Psychical Research in the UK . Apparently , some dowsers have shown the ability to successfully detect magnetic fields . Also people who are dowsers have a lower skin resistance than average . Apparently washing the hands before dowsing can improve sensitivity . In that case , it might pay to wash in salt water , and allow them to air dry .Dowsers are non existant in this part of England , as the land is reclaimed from the sea , and you could drill a successful well anywhere . I will do further research .

There has been continuing discussion of frame measurements / dimensions.

Here is a post, from Nov 2007 (don't know exact day) to the private forum,  that should clear up the frame dimensions.

Thomas replies to the question and approves the drawing.
