If I understand Joe correctly: A spherical capacitor is charged by applying
a voltage, say positive, to the inside spherical plate. This in turn
induces a negative charge on the outside spherical plate. The induced
charge on the outer sphere results in an electric field between the outer
sphere and a now induced positive charged ground. The inner spherical plate
is then discharged, which induces a magnified positive (opposite) charge on
the outer sphere. The outer sphere, by virtue of its rapid change in
charge, now repels against the 'pre-induced' ground electrons (positive
against positive). The cycle is repeated and results in a succession of
force pulse reactions on the spherical capacitor structure.
Is this close to what Joe is talking about?
Regards, Bill.
