falling capacitor charges?

[The Observer]

Gyus,

This Cap had sat idle for about 4 months... and had apparently charged up to 3.5 volts by itself.
                                                                So I am wondering if it will do that again.

You gotta think the thing would have discharged in the course of 1/3rd of a year.

My understanding is that the dielectric has electric dipoles   -==+.
When they are lined up they act like a battery, just like when magnetic dipoles line up to produce a magnet in a larger mass.
When you apply an electric field to these Caps.. the total electric field is that of the CAP + DIELECTRIC (now that is not canceling itself out).
Some then remain in the same position much like a piece of iron stays slightly magnetized in the absence of a magnetic field.
This causes an a uniform electric field that can move electrons from one side to the other.

I will try shorting it for extended periods... but I would like to see if it makes back up to 3 volts by itself first.
                                                               Looks promising !

If a cap falls through the atmosphere, it falls through the Earth's magnetic field.

A capacitor with plates of Al, Cu and another metal between the poles of a magnet
does something interesting. I saw a reference in connection with the Testika machine.

Interesting, I wonder what the logic is behind that.  The testatika has always fascinated me.

That tube looks like something tesla would build.  I remember reading in one of his lectures about a rotating spark discharge that was extremely sensitive to external fields or bodies.  I think it would start spinning the opposite direction when he approached it even the slightest bit.

I should have called it the Thestatika.

Hi Paul.  Thanks for that link.

I wonder, what do you think of this idea in the attached picture?  There's probably some reason it won't work, and I'm sure it can be improved.  I got the idea from the articles on the wordpress website I posted, specifically the Radioactive Voltage article
