First electrical power output from a Pyramid

[Pontifex]

Hi Duff,

if you check this file: "skizze2_converterV6.pdf" from this place: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/pyramide-project/files/V6
you will figure out that it shows "ca. 100mm" which translates to
"approx. 100mm". I think this will answer your question.

I still don't know what is all this impatience about replicating V6.
(see eager tigrottos posting here: http://trawoeger-pyramide.info)
As I understand Thomas it was not intended to make the group replicate V6.

Thomas had to decide between V12 and V14. But V14 turned out not to run very stable so Thomas decided that we replicate V12. As the frame for V6 and V12 are the same and there were some interrupts in information flow some people started replicating V6 as this was the only information available.
Now that Thomas prepares everything for the rest of replicating V12 I doubt he invests much time in supporting V6 replication attempts at the moment.

Just my 2 cents, Pontifex

@Duff. To do research, people need PASSION. It is a bit like sex. If you want it, you want it now, not next month[ hope that did not offend anybody.] So who can blame anyone having a go at v6.As you say they can always covert to v12 as info is released. My welder man has not yet finished, maybe Monday.The very first thing I want to try is the Pegasus "cup of sand" experiment because I feel this is the most significant thing so far. Also some of us are too old to want to wait forever.

@Thomas

In the description that you are rewriting would you please tell us the following:

Are the dimensions of the energy pickup unit critical?

How much tolerance is allowed on the dimensions?

Muss "das Ding" so unpraktisch gebaut sein ?
Kann man die 2 T St?cke nicht um 45 Grad drehen, sodass man die Grafit-St?be von oben einsetzen kann ?.
So kann man einfach das Ger?t ?ndern . Sand austauschen und mehr.
Ich hasse unn?tige Arbeit , deswegen kommen mir "solche" Ideen.

Must " the device " be built so impractical? Can one not turn 2 of pieces   T-angles about 45 degrees, so that both can use the graphite sticks from above?.
Thus one can simply change the device Grafit ..as. Sand exchange and more.
I hate unnecessary work, so "such" ideas come to me, to save my working time against "thinking over that works

Hi guys,
Yes, Neptune this is where I will begin also.

I have been making pyramids for 13 years.
Not having machinist skills, I have found that the easiest way is to make the triangle form first then check for symmetry then put the 4 triangles together. I have only used the gisa model. Since I have one of these already built I will begin by making the control with the glass of sand and 2 carpenters pencils inside and outside of this one.

I will be continuing to make more as I gather the materials.


Is the gypsum really an important part of the TT invention? What would the CaSO4 be doing to the charges? I have some foam board I bought to make my next pyramid and never got to making it. Wouldn't that work as well as Gypsum for this? Maybe it will be too hard to attach the copper around the perimeter if it is foam. I will see. Maybe some copper sluggo tape around the edge will work.

I was reading this thread until 1:40 last night just to keep up. Great work great ideas everybody!

It makes me  to be experimenting with pyramids again!

@jeanna. The simple answer is that we do not yet know if other types of board will work. Thomas Trawoeger says that it is very important, and that he tried metals and wood with negative results. I plan to use gypsum as I want to replicate TTs design as closely as possible. However, Pegasus did his experiment with a 20cm tall pyramid with an aluminium tube frame and no board covering. I would say, whatever you try, record it and post results, positive or negative.
