Just a note on scaling of the 45 gallon drum
experiment. I do recall reading somewhere, but
I must admit I can't remember where, that
to get the ionization (or whatever) effect, some
certain minimum size is required.
Notice that it took his 45 gallon drum device
about 2 hours to warm up before it blew. Whereas
his later 7 foot device started having an effect
in minutes. Even granted the different construction
of the two, there does seem to be a relation to
the "volume" of magnetic repulsion involved.
A small device like you were proposing, might not
generate the desired effect, or it may take a "long
time".
He was only using ceramic magnets from Radio Shack.
I had always thought of using a smaller scale device,
but with some much stronger Rare Earth magnets. Although
another concern I recall hearing his that the magnets
must be "non-"conductive, otherwise the effect could be
shorted out? I not sure of the certainty of that.
My experience with this so far, sadly, is minimal.
The highlight being an in-person discussion with Pierre
Sinclaire who worked with David. Even though David's
home is only 1.5 hours drive from where I am, I am
ashamed to say I haven't made it yet!
