Good day to you all !

Glad to see the net operating again and thought to report on my bit of bother.
I have persevered with Joe's cell and can state this:
There is no way so far to stop the water from creating a brown settlement
which coats the insulators and causes power loss.
I have been able to find a water that takes some weeks to get it but it is
there all the same.
I have charged the water, put it in the cell and left the cell standing
with only the negative terminal connected and found a -10 degree
temperature difference between the water and the air temperature
outside.(Heavy condensation on the outside of the cell and the same
occurred in a sealed glass jar with charged water without a power
connmection) Also the water evaporates rather quickly, lost 1/4 inch
showing queer surface tension between the plates, deep half circles and
over two days.
However a Hillman Hunter motor does not work despite trials in every
possible way of connection.
Since read various reports on catalists and noted that nickel is supposed
to disassociate hydrogen from water. (Read the report on 70% water mix with
fuel) Then along comes Meyer with his gadget to tell us that only stainless
416 can be used and that contains no nickel.
My gut feeling is that nickel is the catalist in stainless 316 required by
the Joe cell.
The Rover engine that worked for me is an aluminium alloy and would love to
find out what alloy and also if they have nickel chromium sleeves. They
were a very expensive car and still hope to lay my hands on one.
The printed report on Joe's cell claims that he converted 14 ordinary
engines including a dragster and all I can say is" he must have a certain
way of breathing" I also note that he has given up on it which means to me
that to actually make it work is reliant on matters so precise that it is
not possible to make it in quantities because of the fickle nature of
mechanical devices.(All wear different and behave different with different
drivers.) I understood that several of you have tried also and would like
to hear what you did find.
My efforts have not yet stopped on this but have not enough money to buy a
sheet of nickel N.Z.$ 300 for a piece 18 inches by 84 inches (only size
procurable) but would suggest that if any of you try to make the cell out
of this material.
Joe states that the cylinders have to be level with a precision of 1 thou
This in itself can only be done with mechanically cut rubbers as the
precision required is not achievable by my hand. You can have the cylinders
right but the rubbers throw it out again.(At least the rubber procurable
here.)
That is all so far on this one.
Electrostatic power generation.
As mentioned before by yours truly, I do not believe that large power
quantities can be achieved without mechanical manipulation of either
magnetic material unless we discover some material that has superconducting
properties available to us ordinary mortals.
I have the report on the Testika experiment and this is my next project, it
being at least a working one. With the present day capacitors and diodes,
it should be possible to transform static charge into a.c. as mentioned in
the Hyde patent referred to yesterday.
The Chancey Britten patent is just what it says it is. A clarifier and
current saver.
It amplifies an arial reception and saves battery current by reducing the
current requirement of the valves because it needed less volume in the
final circuit.
I should have realised this before as I do the same on my T.V. arial here
because I get no reception normally so put 9 volts d.c. on the unit with
little coil up the mast and hey presto reception. (Commercially made)
If he generated power as claimed in the Newspaper article, the gadget shown
as the generator in no way resembles his patent description and the secret
(if any) got lost and is buried with him.

Hope that this has been of interest and look forward to future
commnunications.

Oh as an afterthought.
Logged onto the keely net yesterday and received and automatic wall paper
from a porn channel. I trust that this came through accidentally with our
new server and all. I have taken it off the screen but so far unable to
delete it from my computer.
