The correct theory of electricity

[forest]

To be precise : IMHO in 1902 Tesla stated he knew about the method of joining generator and motor (not necessary in physical form as we know it today) to be self-sustaining and producing useful power in small amount. That was what Clemente Figuera most probably did according to partially recovered patents. This is not about athospheric electricity, not air , not ions. It's all about radiant energy or radio energy. As Tesla stated Hertz waves simply do not exists, because there cannot be transverse waves in fluid like ether. Transverse waves are possible only on boundaries of two mediums of different structure like rope and air, water and air. Exception : very wasteful but possible are tranverse waves between areas of fluid of different properties, like between pure liquid and a vortex in liquid.

Isopropyl alcohol vapor capacitor, an extreme high-voltage semiconductor.

Like a sealed Leyden jar but full of the alcohol vapor instead of water. Try to get all the air out and just have the saturated vapor in there. There is an explosion hazard so don't use glass and do wear safety glasses.

Sorry I can't tell you more.

Hope to see you next time I am in Burgaria.

So since when did capacitors become semi conductors?

So since when did capacitors become semi conductors?

Since I used an isopropyl alcohol vapor capacitor in a high voltage circuit at 60 kV and demonstrated (to the usual high-level physicists who must remain nameless) that it could act as an amplifier in the same manner as a bipolar transistor, when its internal field was manipulated by subtle changes in geometry.

This was before it exploded, of course.

Are you sure it was like that?
I mean vaying geometry sounds a bit like varying capacity.
And no gas filling is going to withstand 60KV it will ionize the moment you give it some juice.
Or explode indeed given it cointains the correct mixture but then it would not be a pure gas inside.
That sounds more like a plasma tube then a capacitor to me.
Then it can be possible it functions as some sort of gas filled cold cathode vacuum tube but amplifying capacitors, no never seen that before.
