There's been a lot of theoretical posturing going on here in last few pages. Now for something completely different!

You're right, especially when results slow down. We're well know as Thane's Insane Group and proud of it. Oops more posturing!


My setup didn't perform as well as the rest and no oscilloscope, so I'll leave the testing to them.


Rectify to DC and filter the HV coil O/P. (either directly or on the stepped down side of a transformer load if you're using one.)

One observation: After my motor accelerated about 200 rpms, I connected a large 3 amp 120V to 12V transformer and it slowed back down to starting point??? Unusual, because my setup had the odd feature of not slowing down after removing the short.

Well, the difference is the "wishy-washy" part.

Aspects of Quantum Mechanics are pretty wishy-washy.  Current knowledge predicts that we will never, ever be able to determine both the position and velocity of a quantum particle at the same time. If you want to quantify one, you're gonna have to be wishy-washy on the other. Should maybe toss the whole damn wishy-washy thing.

That's not wishy-washy. The probability tradeoff in position and time is determined by the wave function and that concept is used routinely to design and build actual microelectronic devices.

You gotta love applied wishy-washiness!

Oh, and ambitious, well intentioned and determined research too.
