I always get a laugh at people's arrogance and assumptions. They throw out that phrase all the time. Are they really talking to the dead? I mean yeah, they say, "I'm Ab Lincoln, Yo It's Tesla.. Peace and love, or I'm channeling Seth!" -.- really! In all truth, does anyone really know who t...

Several UFO books talk about the exterior of the saucer being lined with a bismuth coating. I think rocky was referring to the use of tungsten for projectile tipping and armor plating due to its density (and relative non-toxicity). Bismuth also has a high density, and is used widely as a replacement...

ETLight, you're quite right about problems in space. Know the tolerances and capabilities of your equipment so you don't die. Solids are superior for those applications, because of their amazing k-values. I imagine that if you fried your capacitor because Captain Sulu ordered the helmsman to "...

I believe that the entire capacitance equation is multiplicative. If you double the area, you double the capacitance. Decrease the plate separation by 10, you increase capacitance by 10. C = Permitivity*(Area of plates / distance between plates) Err, where is the addition here? Anyone know where mas...

Mikado is right on the money about the difference between lifters and brown's discs: the dielectric. Brown stated, paraphrasing, that the effect is contingent upon 5 factors: area of the plates (larger area = larger effect), separation of the plates (smaller separation = larger effect), voltage app...

Tungsten is massive, but what are it's conductivity and breakdown values?

Lol, sorry Elizabeth. I have that feeling a lot here, I thought it was just me! I did a little short pond jump. The other pond is right above you in "Lifters in a vacuum" I was a little behind in the threads and was responding to Mikado in page 6 in his post about asking Chris his motives....

those diodes and caps are usually pretty difficult to obtain.

Why not try Maxwell's High Volt supercaps, Bwuahahaha!

by the way, flame jet generator in space is useless. Need some way to get voltage without combustion.

Chris, Errm, toxic how? I was under the assumption that it was relatively inert. Don't they use it for armor piercing rounds? ie. uranium depleted slugs I was actually trying to obtain some depleted uranium for its density and dielectric properties, but was advised against it. That was earlier in my...

Is its dielectric value "k-value" higher than barium titanate?

Steak has a k-value of 50. Let's coat our saucers in steak

Capacitors in Parallel increase voltage, and in series increase capacitance. That is as far as I want to explain Yes, but everyone knows that. Heck, Physics II tells you that much. I think I speak for everyone by saying that we are all searching as you are about these issues. Don't I know it. Andre...

Exactly... Don't get me wrong, it's all a "at the edge of your chair" good story. Granted I take everything with a grain of salt. The frustration comes in, when one tries to weed out fact from fiction. Everyone will color it to their own perceptions and agenda. Not that I'm accusing any au...

Thank you for your concern. I've had a few buzzes to the body. Haven't been thrown across the room yet, thank God. Yeah I know it's basic. I'm just trying to get the crap out from Cook and Vassilatos. Yeah they got me here and tell a good story, but perhaps they didn't more harm than good? ETlight T...

I had a response to you, but now I'm not sure... A charged capacitor will have an effect on the space it occupies(common knowledge?) Yet, I would put my money on the time of discharge. The more sudden it is the better. Tesla liked those sharp spikes, and whathisname is doing it now with those electr...

I'm interested and actually starting to get a license in EAV therapy. I wonder if one could combine something like BIOset and the quote below about Brown's mirrors. P.S. The reason I say this, it's freaky how my BIOset practitioner asked the computer how far along she was (10 weeks) and the computer...
