The Electric Field: Testatika, Lifter, Piezo, Diode, Crystal battery

[PaulLowrance]

It seems there's a flow of unknown energy between the + and - charge that builds up over time. A few connections -->


The Lifter:

The lifter is based on the electric field. This video, "Lifter test in vacuum by NASA" is amazing
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYMUv1VJ3VQ

The lifter was tested inside a high vacuum at 1.72E-6 torr (0.44 billion times less than atmospheric pressure. That's extremely low pressure. Atmospheric pressure is 760 torr. A rotary vane pump produces a vacuum down to ~ 0.1 torr. A diffusion pump gets down to about 1e-2 torr, which is low enough to make semiconductors. As expected the lifter was slower because obviously a lot of the effect is due to moving ions, but when the ion effect is removed, we see the mysterious effect. It's as if there's an unknown energy flow between opposite charges that drags the lifter. The tv series "Myth busters" tested the lifter inside a vacuum, but their mistake was in assuming that the lifter would produce enough force to lift off the ground. When you remove the ion effect, the resulting force is too week to lift it, but according to this video it exists nonetheless.


The Piezo:

After a EE, by profession, confirmed my claim that shielded diodes produce DC current & voltage, he designed a system to charge a piezo so as to detect this charge by detecting a change in piezo width. To his surprise, the piezo itself was producing a voltage. This voltage is almost impossible to detect with normal meters. He was using an electrometer with over 1E+15 ohms input resistance. The EE then shielded the piezo, and it continued to produce the voltage, over 3 volts while charging a low leakage capacitor. I confirmed this. Months later after extensively shielding the piezo from external electromagnetic waves and sound & vibrations, the piezo has continued to produce DC current & voltage.

Present piezo experiments have a shielded piezo producing enough charge to momentarily flash a red LED about 1 to 2 times per day.

Just like the lifter, the piezo is based on an electric field. Piezos produce an electric field caused by electric dipoles due to a remanent polarization, typically on the order of 200E+3 V/m.


The Diode:

You probably know of the diode research. ~ 2 years of extensive experiments from oil bath tests to testing the diode in up to 3 layers of metal shielding (small, medium, large) far out in various rural areas, and testing inside a cave within 2 layers of metal shielding. The diode has continued to produce DC voltage, up to 0.353 volts.

Just as the lifter and piezo, the diode is also based on an electric field, which is produced at the diode junction, typically on the order of 20E+6 V/m. That's 20 million volts per meter! That's a 100 times more than piezos, but the piezo element is ~ 1000 times thicker, which would make the piezo ~ 10 times more effective. It's interesting that the voltages produced by piezos, so far, is ~ 10 times that of diodes (3V vs. 0.35V)!


The Testatika:

Most know of the Testatika, which is also based on the electric field. Maybe the Testatika is legit. Why would such a spiritual or religious group that wants to distance themselves from society want to lie to the entire world and gain nothing?


The Crystal batteries:

The Marcus Reid & John Hutchison crystal batteries contain ferroelectric materials, and there's the electric field connection. Marcus has shown his battery has produced power for nearly a decade now without showing signs of draining. Does anyone know more about the Hutchison rumor that he's now selling a new an improved battery based on Electrets. An Electret produces a permanent electric field.

When the disc and external circuit rotate together in a homopolar generator it produces a static electric field.  Since the external circuit has the same polarity as the disc, there is no return path or force that has an opposite polarity to move the electrons in order for current to be taken off.

When their is relative motion between the disc and external circuit, this provides a return path that has an opposite polarity which allows current to flow.  Even though one may be rotating and the other is stationary, this is the same as having an opposite rotation, thus 2 electro motive forces with opposite polarities will allow current to flow and be extracted.  Increase the relative motion, then you increase the voltage.  This is the reason why adding more brushes and connecting them in series don't increase the voltage, since adding more brushes doesn't increase the relative motion in the system.

The electro motive force or EMF is the rotation, the disc or external circuit cutting through the magnetic field of flux separates the charges, and the relative motion between the disc and external circuit creates two opposite EMF's which provides a return path for the separated charges to move.

I predict when an external circuit rotates with the disc which has a voltage potential opposite to the EMF which separated the charges, such as a charged capacitor, then this will provide a return path for current to flow.

When they both rotate together, then only 1 slip ring is required to extract the current between the axis and rim of the disc.  Also, since there is no relative motion between the disc and external circuit there will be no back torque in this system.

I posted this information in another thread which is more on topic, but that thread has been dead for a while now.

There must be two EMF's with opposite polarity in a system in order for current to flow and this is known to us as voltage.

My intent is not to distract this thread with my own personal theories on the homopolar generator, but to give a possible reason to why the electric fields you have mentioned may seem to have a flow of unknown energy between the + and - charge that builds up over time.  This flow of unknown energy is nothing more than an EMF which has an opposite polarity to the electric field which builds up and creates a voltage that allows current to flow.

In the homopolar generator it is the relative motion between the disc and external circuit which provides two opposite forces to move the charges.  In regular induction it is a conductor that is moving through a changing magnetic field that creates two opposite forces to move the charges.

Two opposite forces creates a voltage potential.  I'm almost sure if you can identify what is responsible for the electric field in the Testatika, lifter, Piezo, Diode, and Crytstal battery, then you will be able to identify what is causing the other opposite EMF's that build up over time that creates a voltage.

Once this is identified, then maybe we can mimic and do it better than nature.

Hope this helps,

When you squeeze a crystal it converts the pressure energy into charge separation with a certain polarity.  When you release the pressure, then it creates a charge separation with the opposite polarity, which creates a voltage potential and the charges will flow.

So, what in nature could make the crystal expand and contract.  Maybe the fluctuations in temperature.  Maybe fluctuations in the moisture content of the crystal due to humidity levels in the atmosphere.  Maybe fluctuations in the atmospheric pressure.  Maybe electromagnetic waves and the absence or lack thereof, such as day and night.  Fluctuations in sound.  The possibilities could be endless.

Once you apply this concept, then it is no longer a mystery to what this unknown energy is that is flowing between the positive and negative within the electric field.

Just my two cents, but my two cents isn't accepted anywhere, so what good is it to me.  LOL
