>> Concerning this cracking the water molecule subject I have done some
preliminary observations of using a high frequency diode arrangement in
conjunction with rectifying this 166,000 hz signal I have been able to
obtain by use of the binary resonant system. I simply assumed that this
could be rectified to produce a 332,000/sec dc pulse but my efforts to do
this has resulted in a dismal failure. These 250 ns fast recovery diodes
will not do the job; as I recall about 1/12 the switching time between
cycles may be affected during this small time period when both branches
appear to conduct. Anyways the idea I had been banking on doesnt appear to
work the way I thought it might, and as I was moping about this my brother
Robert happened to say "You know Harvey it took Edison over 200 tries to
make the right light bulb filament." Upon this I walked out of the kitchen
to reply about how I knew about perspiration being important than
inspiration when I heard a loud glass explosion behind me. The night before
I had just changed the light bulb in the kitchen and replaced the hardened
glass covered fixture all the while thinking how flimsy the three screws
holding it in place were. Now Bob used to be a glass window salesman and
just a few minutes earlier he was showing a friend an unbreakable plate of
glass he was throwing on the floor repeatedly making a great deal of racket.
I guess it was hardened but we told him to quit that out and when we heard
this noise we all thought that he had placed it somewhere and it had fallen
and actually broken. But right then I had a de ja vu and realized how
something I had worked on years before was presenting itself as a possible
solution to this problem of bypassing the use of diodes. In fact memory is a
strange thing but once upon a time I made a double switch commutator in
conjunction with building a copper magnetic motor. When this was built from
inspiration I became aware that it could have several other purposes, which
until now had not come into light. Its probably nothing new that mechanical
methods can even to this day superceed our technology.But to make a long
story short I sort of felt that the ghost of Tesla had acted in anger with
the mention of Edison. In the meantime I now had another idea to pursue. As
such I wanted to send Jerry W Decker a monetary contribution for keeping
Keelynet alive and active in this renewal period where he only hints at this
once a year. I am also sending a VHS tape record of the copper magnetic
motor I built in operation by magnetic compression principle. I'm sure that
you will be amused Jerry; Sincerely Harvey D. Norris
