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

@aether22

Are you at all tempted to continue your great work here?  It would be awesome to see this replicated and doing what we all hope it does. 

Either way, great work so far!

Regards,

I am tempted yes, but I am not currently sufficiently tempted.

It would be almost certain to work since Stiffler did it, and the Mckay document details another replication.

And then JLN made a version that worked according to the patent he has.
And Imris Pavel, Hiddink etc...

But I think that partly the reason no one has enough interest is because it's going to be dangerous and beyond the average persons ability to build (not far beyond but still).
It ejects 'soft electrons' and these can cause issues in electronics.

It really would be more suited for a company to manufacture them and sell them to the public or better yet make powerplants to produce cheap electricity.

It's the best bet if you want to make a Free Energy device but possibly the worst bet for one that everyone will build themselves.

I will help anyone who is interested in replications, I have the schematics from Stifflers successful seemingly dramatic OU run and also emails from Hiddink.

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.

Chill out. Observation is not dissuation.

@aether22

The are many competant and incompetant people here.
Please can you elaborate on the exact safety issues as you perceive them.
I am not sure what level of expertise do you feel is necessary for a competant person to work on this.

1- If one feels comfortable working on (old) TV sets does he qualify with respect to the safety aspect? How many KVs are you talking about?
2- You mentioned wrong design can bring lightening down. How do you know this and how do we go about avoiding it?
3- Have I missed out anything?

I am already planning on working on this but I will have to make the power supplies but I am not sure the voltage range and current required.

Hi @ALL,
I am new here and this is my first post.
I have collected all the parts to make a Gray tube (from the Bedidni drawings) but I am short of the 5kV 12uF capacitors (I'll need 2).
Can anyone tell me where I can find these? My high voltage source is 7kV so I would need a higher voltage rating than the 5kV listed in the drawings.
When I am done, I will share my results on this forum.

Thanks.
