Basic, beginner's information on the Testatika, with interpretive explanation

[sm0ky2]

Smoky, most of what you've written about electrostatic machines is spot-on. Most, not all.  Now you have to ask yourself, with all that knowledge, why haven't your Testatika attempts worked? Why have no other Testatika "replications" based on electrostatics worked? Could it be because-- as I said earlier-- the Testatika is _not_ an electrostatic machine? You should be able to examine existing photos and drawings of the actual Testatikas and see for yourself why this is the case. Clearances, materials, construction, component placement, etc. all mitigate against actual voltages capable of producing "influence" or electrostatic induction.

thank you those are great vids!

i'll make one soon to show my "flat" version of the "ionizer cans" I made out of aluminum foil.
theres way too much fancy talk and abstract vocabulary surrounding this machine.
its really not that complicated. and in my opinion, several of the components don't "do" anything..

the cans, do perform a function, which I will show when I throw one together.
i'll do a quick vid of how I go about assembling them at the beginning, so everyone can see what is going on.

Hej Lee,

I have done some homework and I found the patent US893979 at the places you did not...

At the pat2pdf.org site you need to put a leading zero before the patent number like this 0893979 and then it fetches.

(you have to enter a 7 digit number instead of 6, it cannot find 6 digit patent numbers, as is writen(written) in the error message:
Patent not found. Please check the value you entered. Some pre-grant publications have leading zeros in the number section - try again with a leading zero.)

Okay, I wanted to make sure I answered this because now I realize you're correct.   On  www.pat2pdf.org   the software works on reading a 7-digit number, so leading '0's are required to make the software react properly and render the correct information.


Minor spelling editing on my part for the word, "written."

Thanks for the original notification, above.
