First electrical power output from a Pyramid

[magpower]

Magpower, I notice there is a big difference between the resistance between short graphite rod to copper tube, and long rod to tube. This suggests to me a possible break in the short rod. Others have had this problem without realising it.

Each of my rods 90mm and 95mm measured approx 20 ohms, end to end, carefull not to break. And don't touch either. Now you connect 1 wire to each end and insert into tube, put sand around rod to hold in place, don't move it or will break. Now with ohm meter with one on tube and the other on wire you should have 0 ohms, or open circuit. I will post a pic later. But this is how I see it and no expert, just trying to steer the ship.

Once in tube its really hard to know if its broke, I did break 2 rods already,this step is tricky, the rest we see.

@ Pontifex,
Thankss for your constructive critics about me !
The reason why I was" a little bit strange" was this:
1. I understood that something is missing from v6 description, so that, there was not use to waste time to go ahead trying to reinvent Thomas's invention. Maybe i'm, wrong so that,
2. Should Thomas said all about V6, that means however something is going wrong, none of us managing to obtain more than...0.5V!!! Again, there are terms subjected to various interpretation, proving that the V6 description wasn't exhaustive.
These are true facts , not my interpretation!
This is why I preffered  to " wait and see" instead of complicate again the things!!!!
I told you about 1 month ago , like many of us, I'm an engineer, a physicist Dr. and i understood what it could be understandable; beyond this, the simple assumptions are not science, but fantasy!
Again, this is why I was silent!
Hope this helps ( at least for those to whom it may be of concern!)

I'll certainly try it just dont have pyramide yet, still buidling it (doing base with screws need it flexible)

I'm also busy at the moment building the frame, also without welding, but with screws.
I have also developed a good method to mount the side tubes with screws, although there are some odd angles. 

If someone is interested, i can post this in a separate thread (with photos). 

Hope to finish the frame at the weekend, then i will start making the other parts.

If you have a PetCo in your area, they have a very fine quartz desert sand that they sell in 5 and 10 pound bags.

They use it in their reptile cages:

Look what I just bought! LOL...

5 lbs for $10... PURE quartz sand, no additives, and very fine...

Thanks for the heads up IndianaBoys.

Tao,

Glad you found it useful.

You might also consider experimenting with this product:

     Borosilicate Ceramic

Replace the fine quartz sand in the copper pipes with the borosilicate ceramic.

Also can be added to paint and create a coating that should really amp up the available power.

Apply this to the inside of your pyramid (drywall).

Hello,

Hi folks,

just to remember, here is the yahoo group for Thomas's and our project.

A lot of people are already registered and I think it's good to have an alternative, just in the case that overunity.com is unreachable, like the last days.

@Thomas, you can have everytime the whole control over these group, no problem.

There are also a new statement from Thomas.
