First electrical power output from a Pyramid

Hi vipond50,

As far as I can remember the thickness required was 1/2 an inch (12mm) for the gypsum boards.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Best regards

yes , (but) because in germany (austria) you find only 12mm and  -rare- 10mm at some maket places).
TT sayd that also an "painture" is ok , if it contains pipsum !
(on wood , enz.)  so the 6mm is in any way OK.

I would suggest not hanging it from the top of the pyramid, but placing it on a stick which is mounted on the base plane.
This gives more flexibility for finding the exact location and orientation (in my opinion).

What do you mean finding the exact location and orientation? It's supposed to be right smack in the center of the pyramid... Not much other locations to try, really...
As for orientation, I thought it was the pyramid itself that had to be aligned to the north somewhat, not the converter inside the pyramid...

And I also thought there was a reason for mounting the convertor hanging from the apex, as the convertor and its suspension are copper tubing, connected to the apex of the pyramid. Obviously a conductive connection to the conductive pyramid frame will have different properties than no conductive connection to the frame.
Although Trawoeger has not said so, it seems to me this conductive connection plays a role. I may be mistaken, of course.

here are TT words from his former web site:

"Now you need some Plastic-Tube wich fits prefectly into your 3/8" Tube on the top of the Pyramide. (Installation-tube for electricals)

Stick in the Plastic-Tube and fit it good. Then mark the Center of your Pyramide on this tube."

To my understanding this should act as isolator.  Now maybe I am wrong? because plastic tube was used for marking only

Hmmm well I am not sure...

All the pics I've seen do not show a plastic tube at all, they show a copper tube connected to the apex...
And I do know that plasitc tube as well as welding rods of exact length are used to determine the exact center of the pyramid...
So it might be that the plastic tube is only used to determine the exact center of the pyramid, or it may be that I am simply slighlty blind and there is indeed a plastic tube connecting the copper tube to the apex...

Maybe Pese knows?
