Solved! How Edwin's tube and Paul Baumanns machine works.

There is information and mis-information and the history of the person posting but ultimately you must judge by yourself.
Aether22 has been very generous with the information he has given I don't expect a circuit diagram and a BOM from him but I know I can
count on him when I have an intelligent question. There are a few others who share the same goal but again you have to find them out by
yourself.

By the way, did you read this thread from page 1 and followed every reference?

I actually managed it seems to have killed one of the 25w incandescent bulbs, and not by red hot current through the filament that's for sure, but more of a blue hv plasma globe effect in the bulb.

But before it died I THINK I had established that the difference seemed to be a difference in the bulb not the position in the circuit.
If that is the case then maybe if I had the 7w 110-120v bulbs Stiffer and Ben used I'd be getting light?
Also damn well unexpected, the remaining bulb will light but sometimes instead of going through the light bulb making it glow weakly it will arc across the air finding it more agreeable than the impedance of a 25w bulb!

Very strange, Ben pretty much told me I wasn't cut out to investigate this and indeed I think he's right.

Howdy,

Just found this thread, read it from start to finish and it is most interesting.  I haven't been posting anything to anywhere for a while but slowly keep working.  When I find something new, I will put it on YouTube.

First let me apologize for telling you that you were not cut out to investigate this, that was not mine to say.  Everyone can work and theorize at their level of abilities and some are better theorists and some are better cut and solder type of fellows.  Without a good theory tying all this together, we can build circuits and "Play" as my wife says, with circuits till the cows come home and we won't get anywhere. 

There are so many levels of experimenters here from raw beginners to Doctorate and above, that keeping our heads, being civil and working onward sometimes is a chore.  A total misunderstanding of basic electronics from a beginner might seem unforgivable to more gifted and long time experimenters but in the end we all input something to the process.  Let us continue this quest at all levels.

Happy Holidays,

Yes. Every reference that I hadn't seen before and thought was worthwhile, yes.
Now, can you tell me who has gotten better results from electrostatic machines than I have? Because I missed that part.
Also, can you tell me exactly how Edwin's tube and Baumann's machine works? I mean the "solution" that will allow me to replicate the effects, not some jargon-filled pseudoscientific theorizing.
No?
Somehow I didn't think so.

Ever notice how many thread titles on this forum don't deliver what they claim?

"solved"
"the key"
"smoking gun-finally"
"I've got it..."
"Successful replication..."
"here it is at last"
"bedini motor to run itself"

and so on and so forth...

It's impossible not to notice !
Cheers

I was going to let this go but if you read this thread you would see that the functioning of it is solved, perhaps not 100% in detail but the main working function has been understood, correlated and replicated.

So take skeptical bull elsewhere to a thread that actually has enough interested people for you (HT/TK) to dissuade.
