guess you dont want to see the STORM TROOPER gun then eh

mom ? 


ist!

H

i got bored so i threw up the  concept modle ! 

carefull with that one !!!!!!

that a scary toy !

But I did find an important piece this morning.
This is from Inventions... and is from the part where the author who put Tesla's lectures together is giving an overview of the lectures.
==========
He illustrated
in a series of novel experiments the effect of the gas surrounding the conductor and shows beyond a doubt that with high frequency and high potential currents, the surrounding gas is of paramount importance in the heating of the conductor. He attributes the heating partially to a conduction current and partially to bombardment, and demonstrates that in many cases the
heating may be practically due to the bombardment alone.
==========
So, the surrounding gas and bombardment alone.
The bombardment is I think what a fluorescent tube is demonstrating.
Now, the heat at HVHF.... hmmm there is hope here.

So, kooler,
doug's portrait is ok but,
Are you going to give us a circuit?

      Conversion of heat to electrical energy may be as simple as introducing a magnetic field within a partially ionized gas mixture.  The ionized gas will be pinned down into orbiting the magnetic field lines permeating the ionized gas neutral gas mixture  .  The electrically and magnetically neutral atoms will not be effected by the magnetic field.  Any accelerated neutral atoms will transfer their kinetic energy via friction to the "pinned down"  ions.  The neutral atoms will be cooled while the ionized atoms will experience an increase in their orbital velocity about the magnetic field lines.  Upon return of the magnetic field to ambient conditions the electrostatic repulsion of the ions causes an explosion or rapid expansion of the ionized gas field.
The energy stored in the ion cyclotron frequency and put there by the neutral atom's friction is manifested as a rapid expansion of a gas.  In this case the gas is charged.  As the explosion wave front reaches various conductors these conductors are bombarded with positive charge carriers.  Various electrical currents can be driven by this bombardment.

     In old Television sets you will see a spring wrapped around the edges of the picture tube.  It is impossible to create a perfect vacuum so any remaining gasses in the evacuated tube are ionized by the high potential between the anode and cathode.  The spring is chargedup and maintained at a very high potential to act as an ion trap.  If these ions were not sequestered the rapid deterioation of the flurescent coatings lining the inside of the picture tube would insue due to ion bombardment.

OH,

I read it the other way.
I understood that the electrical bombardment was heating up the gas.
Actually, I kind of still think that is what he meant.

(This has been a day of shifted thoughts so lets add them all together...why not?)

thank you,

@J

Astronomer's have been studying space dust.  This is like a quazi solid plasma form of matter and there is a lot of it throughout the observable Universe.  The thermal dynamics within this space dust gives rise to this space dust.  I think the bigbang (massive blackhole explosion) is still banging with its wave front way out their somewhere meanwhile we are left inside the sphere and dealing with cooling issues forming matter of all sorts of different form.  Form we are yet to see because we have been blinded by the light for far too long.

Hi All,
If any one is interested? this is the schematic I meant to post with my scope shot of the double diode JT circuit ( see 827 1204) make sure if charging caps you observe correct polarity!!!
