Hi Tinsel
Rf is a different story than radiant. Rf can be shielded but radiant can not. Rf is transverse radiant is longitudinal.
I still haven't found any effective way to close and open fast a switch between a cap and a load. The cap would be at about 300 up to 3000 volts for experimentation. I would like speeds up to some few MHz. Do you have something to propose? What is your opinion on Gerry Vassilatos and Ledemann thesis on the whole radiant story?

Jeg, I am experimenting with HV solid state cap discharges; caps in the 0.5uF area, voltages up to 15kV, discharge times < 100 nS. That requires serious (read expensive) switches.

It still sounds to me like you are talking about the E-component of the EM field. And I don't suppose you have any evidence... like comparison experiments... that support the contentions. Any that might be better than this, I mean:

See Memoryman's post.
Advanced spark gaps (check _all_ of Tesla's spark gap designs) might still be the best choice for the experimenter on a budget. You could also try vacuum tubes, as are used in high-power high frequency radio transmitters, but this will not be cheap either and isn't for the average garage experimenter.

What is your opinion on Gerry Vassilatos and Ledemann thesis on the whole radiant story?   
     

BS. That is, word salad re-definitions of ordinary phenomena, constructed by people with some kind of "look-at-me" agenda. Where are the actual _true experiments_ that support their thesis? They just demonstrate things and put their own explanations up for them, rather than trying real experimentation that could have the potential to produce contrary data.

Well, you asked my opinion, and there it is.

Thanks a lot for the link memoryman! Yes they look expensive but i will send them an email out of curiosity. Do you see any interesting effect? Any stringing sensations at higher voltage discharges? With a setup like that i would 'play' all day long!

Tinsel i would appreciate it a lot if you could describe me how you make these multiple quote answers. When i press the Quote button, the whole of your answer is quoted, and that's it. I can't make other quoting.

Your video is very fine! Did you try it with a normal solenoid coil instead of caduceus to see the difference? We know the difference but it would be very nice if there was any form of comparison between them.

Vacuum tubes. The perfect switch to replicate Gray's tube experiments and not only! But as you said garage experimentation needs cheap and clever designs to compensate the money difference. I fight on this challenge for a long time. No success until now.

For me Lidenmann just writes the story. We are the experimenters that hunt the truth. That is my main reason that i want to build a switch like this. If you remember before almost three years i had built a power mosfet spark gap control. It was cool for high power experiments but still had the well known problems when quenching is missing. Quenching is the most critical part and absolutely necessary. Last months i tried a lot to design something with just diodes and high frequency coils. No fruits until now but i am really confident that it can be made!

Your opinion will be always welcomed as it is always supported with real results. That is the why it is asked from many of us Thanks
