Why do CFL's go bad?

[turbo]

Forever is a long time.... Engineers do not speak in terms of forever

Free Energy engineers like to speak in terms of forever because that is afterall what we are looking for.....

Tesla basically invented the eternal CFL.
This was indeed a gas filled tube without electrodes that was placed in a strong RF field in theory it would emit light forever as long as the RF field is there.

However, these tubes also work on DC and in that case there is no RF component so there is no interference at all.
But there is offcource casscade, the electron bombardment which is responsible for the light it emits, this bombardement also impacts on the electrodes so they damage over time and this is why the tubes go bad.
It does not have to be that way because it is perfectly possible to ionize the gas through the glass by capacitive means.

There are some keys to be found in gas discharges because this is a situation where we have an opening for external power to enter our system.
Intresting things have been reported by several inventors that were looking into gas discharges, and particulary discharges where there is no vacuum arc.(full jump)
These reported overunity effects play in the regime just before the gas ignites into the vacuum arc discharge.
It is in the regime that is just below ignition and has a negative resistance.
We do not see these effects in normal tubes because the regime is too sharp, the tube will ignite instantly a good example of this is the flickering tube.
A chain reaction is hard to control..
Certain gasses are reported to have a wider pre discharge regime such as argone.
But the design of the tube aswell as the regulated supply to create the effect is quite hard to accomplish.
