thomas thrawagers magnet and steel screw explained here.

[nitinnun]

1:
electricity is the movement of electrons, towards "positive magnetism".
(you would be appalled at how rarely this basic yet critical fact is considered.)



2:
electrons want to move away from the negative steel pyramid frame,
towards the positive/diamagnetic copper/saltwater/graphite, in the middle of the pyramid.

the above, is what generates MOST of the pyramids electricity/electron-movement.
but the above by itself, is NOT enough to start or maintain the electricity/electron-movement.



3:
the steel screw, is POSITIVELY MAGNETIZED, by the positive half of the magnet.

this causes electrons to move FROM the steel frame,
through the negative half of the capacitor,
through the device being powered,
through the positive half of the capacitor,
and TOWARDS the positively magnetized steel screw.

the above is required, for the polarities to be maintained.
so that electricity/electrons, will move.



4:
electrons build up, on the positively magnetized steel screw.

once the screw gains enough negative electrons, the screw become neutrally charged.
and the electrons overflow from the screw, like water overflowing from a cup.


the overflowing electrons CANNOT move backwards,
through the the capacitor and into the steel pyramid frame.

because the capacitor metal has little positivity, and the steel pyramid frame is VERY negative.
and electrons want to move AWAY from negative magnetism.


the overflowing electrons have no choice but to move towards the positive/diamagnetic copper/saltwater/graphite, in the middle of the pyramid.

because the positivity of those 3 things attract the overflowing electrons.
and because those 3 things have room to store the overflowing electrons.



5:
from the copper/saltwater/graphite, the electrons most likely flow into the steel pyramid frame
(into the pyramid peak. which is on the opposite side of the pyramid, from where the negative half of the capacitor is connected).

because by now, the steel pyramid frame has lost so many electrons,
that the electrons find the its positivity attractive.


the electrons most likely travel along a physical path, to do this.
but it is possible that the electrons travel through the air, to get back to the steel pyramid.

thomas thrawager claimed to not know how his pyramid worked. so it wouldn't be surprising if his pyramid had an air-circuit, and he didn't know it.

if there is an air circuit between the positive middle and the steel pyramid, it is likely from the copper loop, or the copper plates hanging in the middle of the loop.



6:
it is MOST LIKELY, that the steel screw is ONLY being positively charged.
that ONLY the positive half of the magnet, is influencing it.

but it is possible that the magnet was a horse shoe magnet.
and that the steel screw was being charged with BOTH polarities.


if this is true, than my above explanations are still true.

electrons will still flow from the steel pyramid frame, through both halves of the capacitor, through the steel screw, towards the copper/saltwater/graphite, and most likely back into the steel pyramid frame.



7:
there is the strong possibility that electrons are coming from and moving through the hydrogen/saltwater, which sits in the copper loop.

if the saltwater is being polarized, than that would definitely contribute to the overall flow of electricity/electrons.

but i cannot be sure how thomas thrawager electrically connected the saltwater to the rest of the system.



8:
from his poor design choices,
it was obvious that thomas thrawager was no master of construction.

from his inability to communicate critical concepts,
it was obvious that he was fixated on how things work,
and not why things work.


thomas thrawager had the kind of mind, that was orbiting a theoretical planet,
in some other solar system.
similar to that whacky college professor you might remember having a class with.


that kind of mind has produced never before seen inventions.
but you must NOT assume that every detail in the invention,
has an important purpose.

because that type of mind is very inefficient, and often badly broken in places.
so you must expect its invention to be very inefficient, and badly broken in places.


you must EDUCATED-GUESS what that mind was thinking, better than that mind KNEW what it was thinking.
if you want to replicate its poorly explained invention.



9:
i am not a person who focuses on "how" devices are built.
i am a person who focused on the concepts of "why" devices work.


i rarely ever build devices.
because to me, the concepts that make a device work, ARE the device.
if i already have the device's concepts in my memory, than i HAVE the device.

so why would i need to have a limited, poorly manifested physical expression of the device ?
when i already have the only part of the device that matters, in my mind ?



i have been criticized and rejected by persons on these forums,
because i focus on "the concepts behind devices",
instead of "building the devices".

yet my fixation on the concepts behind devices,
is the only reason why i was able to produce this post !

electricity is the movement of electrons
, towards "positive magnetism".

Electricity is more complex than that. There is a long list of various conductors that have both electrons and protons flowing as well as ions. A battery is one of them along with the human body. Plus there is no such thing as positive magnetism.  Magnetism runs clockwise or counter clockwise. Its neither positive or negative.

I understand where nittun is coming from.

I understand where nittun is coming from.

Ah, but where is nitinnun going, that is the question.

[nitinnun]

me and the progress of my research, are inching right along.
and the final goal keeps getting more visible.
THAT is where i am going.

and no amount of stinging ingratitude can stop me.



don't worry. when i get around to implementing my new knowledge, i'll share it.
for free.
and without thanks.

no matter how many random people have an unwarrented gripe-wrench to throw into my motivational drives sensitive gears and glass vacuum tubes.
