Hi all,

Yep, if they had said 723 watts input and 2987watts output then MAYBE
I would tend to believe a little more.

OK, the mercury is the key! Get a quartz tube or pyrex (not leaded
glass as all others) and put mercury gas inside. Ignite the gas into
a plasma and bingo... you will have UVA/B very very strongly. Move
air past this tube and it gets ionized into O3 because of the intense
energy. Argon in the tube only makes the tube light easier - also
keeps the displacement and convection currents even in the tube.

>From Rife experiments I performed on the plasma tube the

This is due to the gas used and the electrodes in ionizing
the gas. There is displacement current and convection current
associated with the ionized plasma and when you take their ratio
you end up with what is called plasma angular frequency. The
neat thing about it is that the plasma is mainly inductive where
the plates are capacitive. There is a resonate frequency of the
tube/plasma where NO current consumed. It turned out for
the Rife tube, the Jim Bare used was around 100MHz if I
remember right. However, using a quasi TEM cell (parallel
line) one can get the plasma angular frequency lowered to
around 30 MHz. I had done this and got the Rife tube to light
with the Modified CB UNKEYED! I couldn't believe it!
However, that was not one of my goals at that time - just
making a matching network and classifying the tube was...

I think more research should be accomplished on the characteritics
of the plasma angular frequency, and see if we can tape some
overunity power out of it. Any idea???
