this pyramid should produce electricity. (thomas trawoger's pyramid explaned.)

3:
construct the pyramid, so that each side is positioned 45 degree's from the pyramids floor.
(4 triangles which are 52 degree's at their base-angles, will do this.)

in fact this is 42 degree exactly not 45

look my shema here http://www.overunity.com/index.php/topic,3701.0.html

fine. 52 point whatever will produce 45 degree's.

but even 42 degree's is more than acceptable as a margin of error. the 3 degree's off would hardly make a difference on a 2 food wide pyramid.

Hi folks,

Slightly off-topic, but hopefully an interesting read. This fellow shows how the designer(s) of The Great One might have come up with the dimensions. Cool stuff.

Cool looking design, and a very interesting take on what the pyramids were used for. I don't know or care if it's been proven either way, so I'll just jump right into some design questions i've got.

* place a copper "peak-plate" onto the peak.
(copper, bismuth, or any "positive" metal should work.)

* the peak-plate should be shaped like a pyramid.
(as if the peak-plate were its very own pyramid.)

* this peak-plate should have sides, and be thick.
the thicker the peak-plate is, the better it should work.

This peak-plate?are you saying to just cover the top part of the pyramid with copper foil, or to actually construct the entire top portion of the pyramid from copper only?

* the copper cap-plate and the aluminum base wrapping should NEVER touch electrically.
because you want them to function like a capacitor.
if the peak and base touch, they will short each others charge out.

Easy enough to understand...touch=short. So what would be an acceptable gap on the 2' pyramid? A couple milimeters? or are we talkin about a fraction?

* place an "antennae" as far up into the pyramids peak as possible.
(a chunk of metal soldered to the end of a wire, counts as an antennae. this peak-antennae just needs to collect energy, as per a television antennae.)

* this peak antennae should NOT electrically connect with the peak-plate.
(that would most likely screw up the peak-plates energy activity.)

* the peak-antennae should NEVER touch anything which is negatively charged, or anything which is grounded. if the peak-antennae touches the ground, it will short out. and it will dump the positive energy in the positive half of the capacitor, into the ground!

Anyone else find this confusing? So you push a wire (antenna) up inside the (obviously hollow) pyramid, up close to, but not touching the top peak. But it can't touch anything... so how exactly do you secure this antenna in place? I'm envisioning a wire dangling from just inside the top of the pyramid and dangling down to nearly brush the base...

* place a second antennae in the base of the pyramid, DIRECTLY under the peak. this base-antennae should be grounded to something.
(if the base antennae is attached to aluminum wrapped around the pyramids base, than "grounding" is unneccesary. because the aluminum will act as the "negative". the dirt outside is just one big "negative" anyway. the dirt outside can be replaced with another "negative", for a similar result.)

Again...slightly confusing. So you've got an antenna dropping down from the peak, and since the peak is in the center, it will be lining up directly to the second antenna coming from the ground. I'm assuming then, that these two antenna cannot touch?

I'll try posting a pic of this I mocked up in GMAX to see if I got it right...
