this is a portion of a physics paper or book that to me heps explain Eds wire wound bottles....

C.â€"DIELECTRIC POLARIZATION. 493. Electrification resident in the Dielectricâ€"

In 1748, Franklin showed that " the whole force of the bottle and power of giving a shock, is in the glass itself ; the non-electrics in contact with the two surfaces serving only to give and receive to and from the several parts of glass; that is, to give on one side and take away on the other." Whenever an electrified body is entirely enclosed within a conducting surface, an opposite electrification is produced upon this surface precisely equal in amount; and this uo matter how distant from the body this surface may be. The two conducting surfaces may therefore be regarded simply as the boundaries of the intervening dielectric; this dielectric being oppositely electrified on its inner and outer faces. The term "field" refers to the space between the conducting surfaces, "medium" to the substance occupying this space. The term "insulating medium" refers to the property of retaining the charge possessed by the medium, and the term " dielectric medium" to its property of transmitting induction.

Experiments.â€"To repeat Franklin's experiment, provide a bottle, having thin lead-foil on the bottom and half-way up on the outside, and containing water, with which a wire connects through the cork. Charge this bottle, place it on glass, remove the cork and wire, and touching the outside with one hand, bring a finger of the other near the water. A smart shock will be felt. Charge the bottle again, remove the cork and wire and pour the water into a second bottle. No charge will be found in this second bottle, showing that the electrification is not in the water. Fill up the first bottle with ordinary water and it will be found charged. Hence the electrification exists on the glass.

Caltech had the excellent series "The Mechanical Universe" that explained many of these concepts, including the Leyden Jar and the concept of the voltaic pile, or battery. The list of episodes is here and is excellent for explaining the concepts of modern physics:

Below is the episode that explains the Leyden jar, and also why the voltaic pile or battery is a much better carrier of power:

I feel like we keep going back to galvanic reactions to produce electricity here in the forum, and that was done hundreds of years ago. There is no hope of free energy in that direction.

i will agree with you RR, the pile is much better than the jar for electricity/electrostatics but what mydevices generate/radiate is something different .....it is a VISIBLE ridiation that i,  and i believe there are many others who will agree, believe that this energy is related to gravity, inertia and density....this field makes most non magnetic materials feel magnetic, like being pulled/pushed around...this radiation is very energetic but gravito-inertial in its nature....very different from but following some of the same rules as electricity.....i hope that there are others that agree with this...david

Hello David, thanks for the reply. I have watched several of your videos; I am still not seeing it. My eyesight is heavily myopic and corrected by very thick lenses/contacts so perhaps refraction through these mediums don't allow the effect to show up well for me.

I will keep looking.

edreak....i have friends from NewZeland!....i imagine it is beautiful there!....i just wanted to say thanks for your interest!...david...PS..has anyone heard from smokey2?...david
