Do you remember a few years ago when you gave me those Peltier junctions
to play with? I remember we were talking about them on the BBS and you
said this same thing.
I'd forgotten it but after reading this, it sounded like someone had
said that before, and it was you!!!
I don't recall if, at the time, we talked about doing any kind of
experiment to SEE if there was WEIGHT LOSS in these things when powered
up with DC. That was probably also while the Seike 'infinite oscillator'
was being discussed. I held the things in my hand and it was still
heavy when current was flowing through it.
I'll bet SURFACE AREA is a key ingredient here because of the area
covered by gravity. I never saw any dimensions for this Tesla Sphere,
but something tells me 3 feet diameter minimum. Searl and Hamel both
say their machines don't work as tabletop versions, at least the
levitating versions. Hamel says 6 to 8 feet is what he recommends for a
prototype.
With the Tesla Sphere, I understood it to be one material, like copper
or spun steel. In the case of a Peltier junction, it is two different
materials. With the Dotto ring, it was constantan and copper, but the
constantan was a much smaller surface area than the copper, but those
machines were reported to lift from the floor.
I always attributed the Dotto ring levitation reports as due to the
intense current (30,000 amps) with an equal polarity facing downwards to
the earth (North to North) to cause magnetic repulsion.
Very puzzling and to me, most fascinating. Do you think there is any
chance the Peltier Junction might have something odd going on with it?
Worth buying a scale, but I'll bet there is no perceptible weight loss.
Something about an energized ring...<g>...
