Brent.
My experience is that static charges cannot be measured because of the
rapid discharges to air, however I am sure that if those charges were put
on a Hyde patent transformer, some colossal wattage would result. I too
have burned out a fluke multimeter, got it repaired and burned out again so
gave up.
I also gave up the radio game some years ago but it looks as if I have to
go back to it.

While I am at it.
Is there anyone that has experience with mercury as a rectifier ? The old
battery chargers in garages used to work with mercury vapour lamps.
My idea runs like this.
If mercury has a rectification property, what about filling a copper tube
with it, winding a cadouceous coil around it, connect it to a reasonable
output signal generator and play with the frequency until you strike the
mercury base
frequency. put one end to ground with a decent earth strap (mother earth)
and also ground one end of the signal generator. The copper pipe would then
become the conductor to be connected.
An arial may need to be included to provide the initial oomph.
I have sufficient mercury to try it but someone else may have tried it
before.
As you can see I cannot get Chancey Britten off my mind !!!

This should sent the electrons in a spin wanting to get round and round the
mulberry bush !!
Perhaps it is significant that the alchemists of old were all in love with
mercury because it was able to provide static charges for their gold making
trials.
Many of their recipies used to contain references to mercury being a most
significant element.
Re drilling: We found metal artifacts, obviously worked by machine and
worked rocks with machine drilled holes in it.
This from mudstone (papa) 200 000 000 years old and coal seams from before
the last ice age.
Most of these finds world wide are ignored as not fitting todays theories
about the age of homo sapiens.
We are still supposed to descend from apes, more comforting and more
confusing to the lay person so they keep paying taxes to keep the boys
digging at salaries commensurate with our willingness to be fooled.
The fact that they find mammoth skulls will bullet holes does not count and
the fact that Admiral Byrd saw mammoth alive in the enchanted land in the
sky also does not count. We are supposed to forget about all that so we can
keep our noses to the political grindstone.

Happy hunting for the elusive philosepher stone !!
