Good evening all,
Joseph and the terminal capacitor.
I have done experiments with a van der graaf generator that proved to me
that what Joseph says about spherical capacitors is right.>
I even designed a flying saucer but could get no one to come in with me.
A high voltage potential can be directed over a disc to form a tornado
underneath which lifts the disc with ease.
3 tesla coils in a circle driven by reasonably small currents will give you
all the potential you need for the spheres to act as lifting and steering
mechanisms.
1/2 a p.s.i atmospheric pressure reduction over the top of a 30 foot disc
lifts
22.72 tonnes (only good as long as there is air.)
Can be made in model form but needs to be about 3 foot diameter.
For exact dimensions see Bruce Cathies analysis of the Adamski Flying
saucer photograph.
Too poor to attempt anything now but all you thinkers should have no
difficulty setting out the mechanism providing you do not forget a
gyroscope to keep the thing on an even keel.
Something to chew on.
Happy hunting
Ren
