First electrical power output from a Pyramid

@Pontifex:

Danke f?r die Links

Einer ist sogar bei mir in der N?he, da werde ich mal fragen.

I seem to remember Thomas made comments about the correct graphite rods to use, but i can not remember exactly what he said. [ its my age] seem to think he said carbon rods from batteries would work, but it would be hard to find these in the right proportions.

Leads for pencils don't have the correct technical properties as Thomas stated.

Hi Pontifex,
I know... Thomas said a lot of things.... Some of them didn't turn out to be true.   We have no idea if  even v6 is complete...

And I did a test on the pencil lead.  I put it into a ground and I got over 1.1VDC  well - almost 1.2VDC  when connected to the bolt in the ground.  I hope in the sand with salt water won't be a problem.

"The carbon rods from batteries" was an unanswered suggestion from Stefan Hartmann. Thomas said he used rods  he bought from Bosch but they were too thick and he said that it was a very dirty job to turn them to a smaller diameter.  It seems as if these rods were "carbons" for the connection of the collector for electrical motors (Schleifkohle/Kohlestift).

Some of them didn't turn out to be true.

Any examples for such a statement (besides the release of info announced for today) ??

Hello Group
When i join the First thing I did was to copy and save everything i could relating to the project. I do not trust the internet or a groups files any more. I have pretty much everything i believe. The last time Thomas was discussing the tech the same thing happened due to him getting pissed off and left the discussion hanging. I did my first replication a year ago with out much success due to lack of construction data and procedures. This time when i had the chance to gather more data, i save everything i could relating. So that being said, some maybe helpful to workers and some me just be redundant, but i offer it all to the group if the group wants it. Tell me where and how u want it and i will try to get it to U. Even private mailing would be OK, just time consuming. Some of the stuff will need to be complied into a doc of some sort, but workable.

Regards
Bill
