Hi Folks!

Every now and then, the subject of negative resistance
arises. No real details are ever provided that I can see so
I would like to open a thread that would give us some
guidelines on what to look for, as in how to measure for
this property.

What would be useful is what effects would be looking for
when measuring a;

diode
transistor
capacitor
inductor

It would appear that simply more energy output than was
input would be a pretty good indicator..<g>....

Note that capacitors do charge on their own just sitting
there...usually attributed to atmospheric electricity,
though if you drop a capacitor onto the floor, after having
just discharged it, it will now have a charge again. What
is that? A 2-3 foot drop is enough to charge from air or to
cut aether, create whirlpools that leave energy.

What comes into play here?

Some links that offer a better understanding....germanium,
phase conjugation, geometry, carbon, nanotubes, dielectrics
and dielectricity, etc;

The 'Photoelectric Effect' as at;

http://www.escribe.com/science/keelynet/m6465.html

A few years earlier, in 1887, Heinrich Hertz (1857-1894) had
been experimenting with a spark gap. His apparatus
consisted of a metallic cathode (electron emitter) and anode
(electron absorber) suspended in a vacuum bottle.

When he connected a battery across the electrodes, Hertz
found that an electric current would flow through the
vacuum, but ONLY WHILE THE SPARK GAP WAS EXPOSED TO LIGHT,
in total darkness, NO CURRENT WOULD FLOW.

In 1902 this phenomena was further investigated using a
circuit similar to the one shown in Fig. 2A. It was found
that high-frequency (ultraviolet) is MUCH BETTER at
liberating electrons from the cathode's surface.

In addition, no electrons are ejected if the frequency is
decreased below a certain value, REGARDLESS OF THE LIGHTS
INTENSITY.

When illuminated by ultraviolet light at different
intensities, a negative voltage must be applied to the
sparkgaps' anode to completely stop all current flow.

In other words, ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT EJECTS ELECTRONS FROM THE
CATHODE with enough kinetic energy so that they can still
overcome an opposing battery potential (a small negative
electric field). This phenomenon was named the
photoelectric effect, and Hertz is credited with its
discovery.
------------------------
All semiconductors are optically active material...based on
the 'photoelectric effect'.....when I was in electronics
class at DeVry...our teacher hooked an NPN bipolar
transistor (it works with any transistor)....to an ohmmeter
and there was no conduction....he sanded down the top of the
transistor and stopped every little bit and we could see the
meter changing as light penetrated to trigger the base to
allow conduction....it was a neat demonstration that I never
forgot...

With negative resistance transistors...there is a fellow who
remains very secretive but says they have mapped the
necessary characteristics that must be combined to produce a
free energy device....I asked him if I had his circuit,
COULD I build it from off the shelf parts and duplicate his
free energy self running results....

He said NO...the reason?? Because I would need to test each
and every component in the circuit to ENSURE it was a match
for the needed characteristics, i.e. negative
resistance...he said if I bought 50 transistors, all of
exactly the same type, PERHAPS it would be within the needed
window to work...

He says it is a very tedious and time consuming task getting
all the parts together with the right parameters....of the
many who I've spoken with who claim success, he is one of
the few who I think really has something...

He says the device has been built into a suitcase and was
able to provide a sustained 50kw...but they had weird
effects...and it was not stable...so they decided to build
30Watt modules that ARE stable and have no weird effects...

He says aether is like a big balloon, you can put a pinprick
hole in it and attach a load to it and the hole will enlarge
to allow as much energy to be extracted as it takes to run
your load...and of course that your circuit can
handle...powerwise...

He says aether is self-sealing...that there CAN BE no
runaway reaction where it will blow up like an atom bomb or
create a black hole that will destroy the planet and solar
system...
--------------------
Now here is some information about negative resistance;

claimed be be negative resistance, but its just ZERO
resistance;

http://www.escribe.com/science/keelynet/m2654.html

Scientists say they have found a way to produce a major
facet of superconductivity at room temperature, one that in
the past could only exist at temperatures hundreds of
degrees below zero.

The feature is called zero resistance, and it allows
electricity to flow freely for long distances without losing
its power along the way...

Chung says the heart of her discovery is a peculiar
phenomenon called negative resistance, which occurs when
electrons appear to travel in the wrong direction, something
experts say is as unnatural as water spontaneously reversing
course and flowing upstream.

....it occurred when two layers of carbon materials were
fused at high pressures,causing electrons to appear to go
the wrong way at the junction point...

When combined with other materials with positive resistance,
the scientists came up with zero resistance, she says.
-----------------------
Tom Beardens view on negative resistance;

http://www.escribe.com/science/keelynet/m2659.html

True negative resistance just means a "resistor" or other
component that outputs more energy than it inputs. Let's
look at one attribute:

In forward time, a positive resistor is an element that
diverges and scatters energy from a flow of energy passing
through it. At least that definition is
good enough for government work.

The same unit, in negative time, would be gathering
"convergent" energy and outputting it as a coherent energy
flow. Just take a video tape of the forward
time process, so to speak, and play it in reverse to see
this.

So one way to produce a true negative resistor in electrical
circuitry, is to somehow produce a material or component
that causes a convergence (i.e., negative
divergence) of the otherwise divergent energy of a normal
resistance, and outputs that reconverged energy in a
coherent energy flow or stream.

The key here is time reversal. Well, one way to do that is
to cause a phase conjugation in something resembling a
resistor material. Phase conjugate
reflection is a time-reversal, or retroreflection.
-----------------------
more on the time reversal aspect of negative resistance from
Tom Bearden;

http://www.escribe.com/science/keelynet/m2661.html

Well, phase conjugation involves time reversal. In a
time-reversed region, charges behave oppositely to what they
do in a time-forward region. Thus indeed electrons run
backwards -- IN A TIME-REVERSED REGION!

If one thinks that is "against nature," one just is
inadvertently thinking that time in a region can only run
forward. Not so. The fiberous nature of the material also
adds to the credibility. Just examine the fiber fuse
phenomenon,
e.g. which destroys a fiber optics cable by melting a
little hole in the core surface about every centimeter or
so. Eerily, often after the cable has been damaged,
initiating the fiber fuse again in the opposite direction,
will result in the thing marching back down the cable,
FILLING UP ALL THOSE HOLES AGAIN and restoring the cable.

And the fiber fuse only works in those fiber optics cables
whose cores contain germanium (which is the majority of
them). It doesn't work in a core containing silicon but no
germanium.
-----------------------
fiber fuse effect by Bearden;

http://www.padrak.com/ine/NEN_5_11_6.html

Take a fiber optics cable with a core containing germanium
(which is most of them; the effect will not work in silicon
cores, for some unfathomable reason). Laser light is running
through the cable, carrying the messages.

Heat one portion of the cable with a butane cigarette
lighter. After awhile, the heat in that spots builds up
inside, and a little bit of the surface of the core "melts"
into a bullet-shaped trough or hole.

Then another hole melts about a centimeter further
"upstream" on the core, into the incoming laser light. Then
another about a centimeter away, etc. Now it doesn't matter
whether you are heating it or not. Those bullet-shaped holes
in the core will continue burning out about a centimeter
apart, with a progression of about one meter per second. If
the cable is 15 kilometers long, the fiber fuse will march
on down the entire length of the cable, thoroughly spoiling
the cable.

If you look at the energy you input, and the energy it took
to melt all those holes, this is far and away an overunity
process par excellence!

It only works in cores containing germanium. It does not
work in silicon core, or in cores that contain much lower
germanium content than usual.

Now here's the weird part. Reverse the laser light in the
damaged cable, and initiate another fiber fuse at the
opposite end. Well, now the devilish thing will march back
down the cable in the opposite direction, OFTEN FILLING IN
ALL THOSE PREVIOUSLY MELTED HOLES AGAIN AND RESTORING THE
CABLE TO WORKABLE FORM!

....negative resistance indicates that the electrons in the
system are flowing in a direction opposite to that in which
they normally flow. She stressed that the mechanism behind
the observation of negative resistance at the geometrically
complex interface between fiber layers is still unclear.
Chung said that she is working to identify an energy source
responsible for the negative-resistance phenomenon.

Metallic Nanotubes;

When a single atomic layer of graphite rolls up into a
nanotube, the angle at which the edges join can have a
dramatic effect on the tube's electrical conductivity.

Though made of exactly the same material, some carbon
nanotubes conduct electricity as easily as a metal does,
while others act as a semiconductor, BLOCKING the passage of
low voltage current.

Each team used a scanning tunneling microscope to determine
the diameter and spiral angle of a sample nanotube. A
miniature probe was used to measure the tube conductivity.

What is remarkable about the discovery is how one small
change in the structure of the nanotube, can tremendously
effect its electricalconductivity.

For graphite, each carbon atom links to three others,
forming a HEXAGONAL LATTICE that resembles a slice through
an atomic-scale honeycomb. Because of the regularity of
this hexagonal structure, the edges of a sheet of graphite,
rolled into a cylinder can be made to match SEAMLESSLY at
several angles.

and another correlation;

Researchers have demonstrated in a laboratory that random
fluctuations in the concentration of a chemical across a
surface can enhance the propagation of wave's of another
chemical's activity in a thin gel.

In the February 19th, Nature, researchers Kenneth Showalter
of West Virginia University in Morgantown and Jichan Wang,
found enhanced wave propagation where addition of noise can
BOOST A WEAK SIGNAL todetectable levels.

VOLTAGE IS TO DIELECTRICITY AS CURRENT IS TO MAGNETISM
-----------------------
Acoustic superconductivity;

http://www.escribe.com/science/keelynet/m4995.html

It is known that coppers' electron mass at rest is M=9.107 x
10¯ ³¹. It has odd electrons and is paramagnetic which
exhibits magnetic resonance. The magnetic flow in copper
brushing the atoms causes atomic vibration which, in turn,
produces a ringing effect.

When superconductivity is in place, agitation of the atoms
is prevented.

This allows voltage to flow freely because there is little
or no atomic vibration; thus, reducing resistance. Magnetic
resonance is a phenomena exhibited by the magnetic spin
system of certain atoms, whereby the spin system absorbs
energy at a a specific resonant frequency when subjected to
an alternating magnetic field.

The key factor is that the resonant frequency aligns or
stabilizes the atomic vibration much like superconductivity
does allowing the atoms to remain in the same place.
Likewise, harmonic radio frequency produces the same desired
effect.

black holes as multi spectral negative resistances;

Catts displacement current;

http://www.escribe.com/science/keelynet/m6104.html

We must then explain how the electric charge flowing down
the wire suddenly distributes itself uniformly across the
whole capacitor plate. We know that this cannot happen
since the charge cannot flow out across the plate at a
velocity in excess of the velocity of light.

This paradoxical situation is brought about by a fundamental
flaw in the basic model. Work on high speed logic design
[reference 2] has shown that the model of a lumped
capacitance is faulty, and "displacement current" is an
artefact of this faulty model.

The true model is quite different. Electric current enters
the capacitor through a wire and then spreads out across the
plate of the capacitor in the same way as ripples flow out
from a stone dropped into a pond. If we consider only one
pie-shaped wedge of the capacitor, …., we can recognise it
as a parallel plate transmission line

whose only unusual feature is that the line width is
increasing

(and hence the impedance is decreasing).
-----------------------
latest left handed composite materials report;

http://www.escribe.com/science/keelynet/m8218.html

....a new material in which fundamental laws of nature
apparently will run in reverse.

The material is made of nothing fancy. It's a palm-sized
array of small copper rings hung between a grid of copper
rods. It is the arrangement of the rings and rods that
creates the bizarre new behavior, which so far has been
demonstrated only with microwaves but potentially could work
in other electromagnetic wavelengths.

....Snell's law, a scientific description of how rays bend
through different materials, would run in reverse: A lens
made of this material would scatter, rather than focus,
light.

A series of copper ring pairs, each of which looks like one
locking washer set inside another, exhibits a reversed
version of the property called magnetic permeability, which
describes how the material responds to a magnetic field.
Instead of being a positive number as it is for most
materials, the rings have a negative magnetic permeability.

Similarly, using an array of copper rods switches a property
called electric permittivity, which describes how the
material responds to an electric field.

The rods turn out to have negative electric permittivity -
again, rather than positive, Dr. Pendry noted.

The bending of light through a lens is just one example of
how things could run backward. Another is the Doppler
effect, in which light waves ordinarily become redder when
receding and bluer when approaching.

The effect would be reversed in the new substance, with
light waves becoming bluer as they moved away. It would be
as though a train whistle fell in pitch as the train
approached and rose as the train moved away.

And the mechanical form of 'negative viscosity';

http://www.escribe.com/science/keelynet/m224.html

Just as positive viscosity works against us by wasting
energy, negative viscosity may be used to create energy. It
is what allows tornados to continue rotating without damping
down.
-----------------------
water experiments with spiral pipes for negative viscosity;

http://www.escribe.com/science/keelynet/m685.html

This reminds me of experiments with water flowing through
variously shaped pipes that were conducted at the University
of Stutgart in the 50's. In certain conditions (a given
flow into a given pipe shaped into a given spiral) the
friction of the fluid against the pipe would become
negative! i.e OU. Got this from Living Water: Viktor
Schauberger & The Secrets Of Natural Energy by
Alexandersson, Olof...

Often we can translate electrical phenomenons into fluid
dynamics (i.e. the difference in elevation is akin to the
Voltage, etc.) Perhaps making coils in conical shape will
yield interesting results.
