Source of energy, Testatika

That is interesting, though unfortunately I can hardly find anything about the Ampere Bridge.


... However this brought me somehow to particle accelerators, "Linear acceleration", based on high frequency and Van-De-Graph accelerators (see Wikipedia for that, e.g. german pages like http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linearbeschleuniger or http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van-de-Graaff-Beschleuniger for a start. Honestly the phrases of electrostatics, vacuum tube, ions acceleration reminds me of Testatika or the Edwin Gray Tube. That's probably part of the solution of the Testatika and what happens inside the tubes.... though not trivial to build in a home experiment :|

The original ampere bridge consists of two long parallel mercury filled troughs next to each other. One trough is connected to + pole of a electric power source and the other to the minus pole. Floating on top of the mercury is a U shaped  piece of wire forming a bridge between each trough. The wire ends of the U are bent 90 degrees horizontally so it floats on the mercury troughs with the U shaped bridge part upright and the horizontal limbs floating on the mercury.  The U shaped bridge moves horizontally along the troughs when electric current flows.
Marinov's version was circular with the mercury in the form of two circular troughs and several U shaped pieces with limps in the mercury mounted on a central shaft that rotated. Attached is page from Deutche Physik Vol 1, Number 3, 1992 on the ampere bridge. Later Pappas indisputably proved that the Ampere Bridge in either form did not violate the law of conservation of angular momentum.

Here is a example in the attached pdf file of radium emanation intensifying radio signals. Various people have mentioned in patents etc that the presence of copper oxide on the various wires helps the transformation process. A number of the early researchers in this field such as Moray, Hubbard and probably Hendershott used radium.
In the attached file, the strange thing is the directional nature of the influence of radium emanation on the antenna.
Wm. Barker in US patent 4,961,880 maintains that high potential gradients modify beta and alpha decay rate.

I really don't think they used radium.
