For those who were involved in the ball bearing
capacitor plate experiment, please check out this new
post from Jean Naudin...most interesting;
http://www.fortunecity.com/tattooine/delany/256/html/pft01.htm
During a charging process of a flat capacitor, the
Poynting vector ( S=ExH ) comes from outside the
capacitor towards the wire connections, parallel to
the surface of the armatures inside the dielectric
medium.
There is an energy flow directly proportional to ExB.
This energy is not provided by the wires but comes
from the surrounding space around the capacitor.
(ref: "The Feynman Lectures on Physics :
Electromagnetism vol2, Chap: 27-5, fig 27-3" by
Addison-Wesley Publishing company.)
During the charging process, in a flat capacitor with
the wires connected in the middle of the armatures,
the energy flow (S-Flow) is symmetrical. (see the
picture above)
During the charging process, in a flat capacitor with
the wires connected near the edge of the armatures,
the energy flow (S-Flow) is asymmetrical. (see the
picture below )
----------------
In an asymmetrical charging process, where the
conductor is NOT in the center of the plate, there
would an imbalance in the flow, much like an inertial
drive, an apsidal or cycloid type motion.
The Naudin URL relates specifically to using high
voltage to produce a thrust as shown in video clips of
the asymetrically charged capacitor in action.
I have always been puzzled with the claimed rotation
of the ball in the capacitor plate experiment and we
had suspected Poynting as a possible source.
Consider the original experimental claim that had so
few details;
two charged plates (location of conductor not
specified)
a ball placed on the bottom plate will move to the
outside rim and rotate as long as power is applied
though everything that we have seen indicates it must
be CHARGING, not static to produce the rotary effect.
the claim of power production was that if there is a
swept magnetic field, then a toroid type coil should
be able to cut the moving field lines to induce a
current that can be extracted from the device
-------------------
The B(H) field represents the magnetic flux which
should be rotating due to the field. Does that occur
only when it is charging or does the electric field
density reach a maximum, prior to breakdown of the
dielectric, and only AT that maximum, is where the
magnetic flow should also be maximum???
