Trawoeer Power Pyramid Version 12 - Electrical output from a homemade pyramid

[k4zep]

Hi All,

Well received my 3/4" rods for the capacitor but no wire.  It is somewhere out there between upstate FL and here.  Probably tomorrow.
Slow day even for me, lots of reading, taking it easy...

@K4ZEP: Hello Ben
I want to thank you to thrust me and I want to thank you for your willing to make the V12 for all the other Guys.
It would be a pleasure for me to send you all necessary things (proven Items) to built our nice Playtoy.
(There is not much to send, because there are only a few things really necessary...)

Well, on the other side, I think it would be better to live with my bad english. First my reading experinece is better than my writing.
(The google Translation is that funny, but believe, you cannot understand anything after this funny translation :-))

So I am shure, we will communicate in english, and if anything is not clear, i will explain it twice (with other words)

This weekend I will make a complete list of all the Items, i can send you. Then i will check the weight and i will make all the customs-works (documents)
I am in hope to send it via FedEx or UPS  (I am waiting for the abilitys and conditions)

The only problem would be to find a proper way of communication. ( so i will think about this too)
Nice greetings, Tom

Good Morning Thomas,

I figured you would get a kick out of the "google" mess up of the good German language, but had to try it one time.
FedX and UPS both come to my Condo on a regular basis so either one is excellent and they know me here.
By the time your unit gets here, I will probably have my reactor done and we can do a pictorial and electrical
comparison between the two.

I will be building the Pyramid this weekend using 3/8" or 1/2" copper tubing and silver solder on the fittings and pins to hold it together.
I will be using 1/4" Gypsum board trimmed with tape to cover the ruff edges.  Painted to make the 3 sides presentable.  Will show basic
hand drawings of the unit before I start for you approval.

I would like to be able to converse with you via email and/or SKYPE if that is agreeable to you if/when I have any questions in particular or I have a mis-understand on any part of the design.  Again when everything is clear, would post it here with your approval.  As a ship can only have one captain, I wish to only be the second in command here.  You are the master, I am just a builder.  I will  not bother you with
un-necessary questions as your video was very clear.  I have watched the whole series 3 times already making copious notes and only have 3-4 questions for clarification and probably can carry on anyway.  I hope my build here will give encouragement to other builders.  As my knowledge increases in the "HOW" to do it, perhaps others that are very good at the theoretical level can add to our knowledge as to "WHY" it works as they build also.  Some things you have to do with a giant leap of faith as logic simply doesn't work here with our limited knowledge to the "theory" of operation.  But Dowsing works for me, so lets get on with it!  I enjoy a building adventure and this certainly is one!.

Will put up a video on YouTube in the next several days on my "dowsing" for spots here.  I am rather curious as to what I will find here in
the State of Florida, USA as I live right on the water of the ICW and Gulf of Mexico.  There is water everywhere down only 4-8 feet!  So this will be a first for me.  I will use two copper rods because a green fruit tree "Y" is just not available.  Copper has worked in the past for me but I prefer the other.....but.......anyway.  Will have my wife carry the camera and we will see what happens. 

Google maps "7400 Sun Island Dr S, St Petersburg, FL 33707" and you will see where I live and the "water" problem.  There is a nice area in front of where I live with a big tree in it and a small park across the street.  If none of these work out, there is a nice area about 2 miles from me where I fly R/C model Gliders that should work well.

Thats all for now.  Thomas, let me know when you have your parts together and need a complete address.

Respectfully
Ben K4ZEP

I forgot to say that in a future time, I want to hear the story behind your double call sign!  Most EXCELLENT!
We will discuss the cost and reciprocity at a later date too.  I like to keep the books balanced!  But for now, it is good.

Most Respectfully,
