Are scalar waves BS?

Thanks Pirate, Trying to get better has been extremely boring, I find it very difficult to stop chainsawing, digging holes driving
tractor ect. Had to do it, I was spending too much time on the floor rolling around in agony, healing from back injury like bulging
discs is difficult, especially when I see so much that needs to be done around the place. If I start experimenting I get carried
away and end up not sleeping enough or spending too long bent over the bench.  So I bought some smart phones to play with.
Motorola Droid Razr HD XT925 is a handy piece of kit, they can take a bit of moisture as well, in a pinch. Good cheap/tough phone,
but a couple years old now, not a new line, still I cannot stand apple so no Iphones for me.

Phone water test.

Before I post any new video's I'll need a new camera that records to SD (old one is mini tape type).

I'm looking at getting a Fuji XP70 waterproof camera, it can shoot up to 240 frames per second as well for slo mo which might
be handy, also wifi file transfer so no need to dry off the camera and remove the SD or plug in a cable. Records in H264 - MP4
whereas the old one records a DV stream which makes a huge file to transfer and transcode but still not even HD.

If anyone knows of a better similar camera (must be waterproof) that's in the same price range then please let me know.

Sorry for going so far off topic, excited about being able to make good video clips much easier. It's easy to fall behind the tech
these days, I'm nearly always about three years behind.

FarmHand,

It is a delight to read your explanations of what you've
observed in your experimentation and your understanding
of the theoretical/technical aspects.

I still remember just a few short years ago when you were
beginning this incredible journey of yours into the mysterious
world of electricity and electronics.  You've come a long, long
way!!

It is very good indeed to hear that your health continues to
improve.  Your ability to keep on doin' in spite of the pain
and physical difficulties is amazing.  Keep on keepin' on!

SeaMonkey, you are too kind, after a few months of participating in the other free energy forum I quickly learned that I needed
to apply a BS filter. It was you that made me realize that fact, at that time I shunned the other forums and posted only at EF and Then at Heretical Builders to get away from the constant OU fervor at EF. I shunned these forums because they actually had OU in their site names which irked me a bit. But I don't fit in on a conventional electronics forum I don't think, I stopped posting at Heretical because I thought they could use a break from me. So now I mainly post here. 

One thing I would like to do is to enclose my air variable capacitors in transformer oil (in cases) so they can take higher voltages.
I wonder if oil will affect their values at all as well, I guess I'll find out if I do it.

What kind of oil I wonder?  I would suppose that you want oil with the highest dialectic strength?  Is there a chart of these oils or, do you just use say a 90 wt. gear oil?  I have always wondered about this.  Maybe, all oil is a better insulator than air so it makes little difference.

Let me know what you come up with.

Plain mineral oil works well.  Motor oil has all kinds of additives that don't help electrical performance.
