Bill, your suggestion for using two heterodyning oscillators is a good one.
I may work on just such a device soon. Right now, I am preparing to prove
to myself that electric current actually flows from negative to positive in
an electric circuit, and also to measure the actual speed of propagation of
this current through a copper conductor. I will use a conductor 10,000
feet long to perform this measurement.
Question: If you take a 10,000 ft. long conductor and place an LED at a
position 3,000 ft down the negative lead, one at 5,000 ft. and a third at
7,500 ft., and connect a battery will:
(a) the LEDS will light sequentially, negative to positive
(b) the LEDS will light simultaneously
(c) the LEDS will light sequentially, positive to negative?
The LED's, by the way, are in SERIES so that current has to flow through
all three to return to the battery. The real interesting part of the
experiment will follow this measurement. I calculate that a pulse cannot
take less than 10.17 microseconds to travel the 10,000 ft. path, negative
to positive on the battery. If I connect the battery to the wire for 1
microsecond then disconnect it (i.e., a very short pulse), will the LED
light up for 1 microsecond?
Think carefully! Because by the time the pulse gets to the LED, the
battery is NO LONGER CONNECTED to the battery. If the battery is not
connected to the wire, how can current flow through the LED? I'm
interested in what your guess is on all this, and anyone else's ideas are
welcome as well.

Re: Speed of electricity.
I must apologize for being longwinded in the following, but you've got me
started!
.
When I had to design a museum exhibit on electricitiy physics, I had to re-
teach myself how electricity really works, having been mis-educated by
misconception-ridden american textbooks. It turns out batteries and
Page 1
generators do not supply electricity, they merely pump it.
All wires, in fact all metals, are already full of electricity. You may
recall from some science class that metals contain a "sea of electrons."
This "sea" is what moves when electric current exists in a wire. This fact
is of prime importance when one is thinking about what goes on in circuits.
Also, electron flows happen very very slowly, on the order of inches per
hour depending on the current.
In an AC system, the electrons sit in place and wiggle, and do not flow
forward at all. So, it's not the ELECTRICITY which travels fast within
wires, it's the WAVES of starting and stopping that move fast, it's the
energy which moves fast.
Electrical energy flows and electrical signals are longitudinal waves of
electron compression and rarefaction supported by electrostatic repulsion
between masses of electrons confined within a wire.
.
Now on to your experiment: If you suddenly connect BOTH leads of a battery
to a very long circle of wire hanging in air, the battery will pull
electrons into its positive terminal while it also pushes electrons out its
negative one. This sends a speed-of-light wave out both terminals of the
battery. The wave is a compression wave on the negative terminal, and a
rarefaction wave on the positive.
As these waves get to successive LEDs in the circuit, they will be lit
sequentially. I predict that the 7500-ft LED will light first (it's only
2500ft. from the end), followed by the 3000-ft LED, followed by the 5000ft
one.
.
What happens if you remove the battery before the wave gets to the LEDs?
I predict that removing the battery will send a second wave of ceasing-of-
motion out thru the wire, and the LEDs will darken in the same sequence in
which they were lit. Connecting the battery for 1.0 uSec will send a 1.0
uSec pulse to the LEDs. I'm envisioning an acoustic analogy here.
If you shout down a very long hose, then suddenly remove your mouth, the
sound that's already in the hose will keep going to the end whether your
mouth is there or not.
.
One thing to think about: if you do the experiment on a wire spool rather
than on an immense circle of wire, I don't think the waves of compression\
rarefaction will stay on one wire and spiral their way through the entire
length of the coil. Instead, voltage and current in one wire will
inductively and capacatively couple to adjacent wires, and so your signal
wavefronts will skip across the coil and act as if they are moving much
faster than the speed of light. Each turn of the coil acts like a trans-
former winding for all the other turns. You either have to spread your
wire out in a big field, or use coax cable so adjacent turns are shielded.
Also, are you going to switch BOTH battery connections on and off? If you
connect the two terminals to the wire at two different times, your results
would be different.
.
Have you heard about the experiments done in 1902 or so which showed that
the mobile electricity within copper is electrons. Researchers wound a big
spool of wire on a wheel, connected the ends to a meter through sliprings,
spun the wheel a high speeds, then stopped it suddenly.
Page 2
The sudden halt in the wire's motion did not jerk the electricity to as
sudden a stop, and a pulse of current was measured in the meter. It was a
negative current in the direction of the wire's motion. I don't know if
they tried this on many different metals. It is vaguely remenicent of
Searle's original attempt to make a generator by throwing electrons off the
edge of a spinning disk.
.
I must point out that all of the above is based upon my knowledge of
conventional circuit physics. It's never occurred to me to try doing
experiments like these. I'd love to hear what happens. You're aware that
Joe Newman's motor designs are based upon pulses racing around in coils?
It's work like yours which has a chance of showing up anomolies and opening
the door to really interesting lines of research.

Folder : A, "Public Mail"
Bill, I really appreciate your feedback on the experiment on transmitting
pulses through wire. Discussion like this helps generate new ideas and
experiments. Your discussion definitely adds new questions.
.
On your comment that a battery sends a compression wave OUT the negative
terminal and a rarefacation wave OUT the positive, at the speed of light:
If we place an LED twice as close to the positive terminal as the negative;
lets say this is 6000 ft from negative, 3000 ft from positive, and connect
both terminals of the battery to the wire, which wave will reach the LED
first, the compression or the rarefaction? Since BOTH waves are traveling
at 'c', it is obvious that the rarefaction wave from the positive pole will
"pull" electrons through the LED long before the compression wave can
"push" them through.
.
The LED should be lit by the rarefaction wave several microseconds before
the compression wave gets there. In fact, using this analogy, the LED
should light up TWICE - once when the rarefaction wave "pulls" electrons
through the LED and a second time when the compression wave "pushes" more
electrons through the LED. Normally these two events would be so close
together that the phenomenon would never be seen - unless you were looking
for it! (and believe me, I intend to look!).
.
Using your water hose analogy, if we take a long garden hose and at the 2/3
length position place a "paddle" wheel to indicate air movement and have
one person blow on the long end (compression) and another suck on the short
end of the hose (rarefaction), the paddle wheel should move twice. The
rarefaction wave will reach the paddle wheel first, moving it, and
logically, a short time later the compression wave will move the wheel
again.
.
That is, of course, unless the rarefaction wave, upon passing the paddle
wheel, reaches the compression wave at the MIDDLE of the hose, and cancels
it. (Both waves are traveling at the same speed and so should meet at the
middle point of the hose. Compression and rarefaction waves DO cancel,
yes?). Since the paddle wheel was moved by the rarefaction wave long
before the compression wave could ever have arrived, the short length of
time measured for the wheel to move could be wrongly (?) interpreted as
showing that electric current travels from positive to negative.
.
Page 3
This scenario suggests that if we take two 5000 ft conductors and place an
LED at the far end (middle), and place another two LEDs, one at each of the
2500 ft marks and connect a battery, a compression wave will travel from
the negative pole of the battery toward the LED on the negative wire while
a rarefaction wave travels from the positive pole of the battery toward the
LED on the positive wire. Since both waves are traveling at the same
speed, both of these LEDs should light up AT THE SAME TIME, the negative
LED when the compression wave pushes electrons through it, and the positive
LED when the rarefaction wave pulls electrons through it! And a short time
later BOTH waves will reach the middle LED and light it up last.
.
So, looking at the gargen hose and wire and using your classical theory,
I'm still not sure what will REALLY happen. We can put forth at least two
or three conflicting lighting hypothesis based on the same theory.
.
Will the LED's pulse only once or will they pulse twice? Will there be a
sequential lighting, and if so, in what order? Or might some of the LEDs
light simultaneously? I had no idea at the outset that such a simple
experiment could be SO MUCH FUN!
I am prepared to do this experiment tomorrow, but I'm not about to actually
do it until I get more pre-experiment guesses from you and the other Keely
Netters. I'd have never thought about a rarefaction wave lighting up an LED
before a compression wave getting there - thanks.
.
By the way Bill, you are certainly invited to participate in performing
this experiment (hope you are local!).
.
The wire will not be on a spool when the experiment is conducted - self
inductance and capacitance would skew the measurements. I plan on doing
this out in the country in some deserted field where I can unreel 10,000
feet of wire into large loops with as little self capacitance and
inductance as possible.
.
Anyone got a farm field with nearby power that we can use? (no Norm, we
don't want to do this experiment in the Arkansas outback!)
.
Please re-read all our messages on this, ruminate a while, and get back
with me later. >> Bert
.
p.s. - anyone else out there got any feedback on this simple experiment?
It may be simple, but there are some very important electric foundation
pillars being pushed and pulled around here!
.
p.p.s. Jerry, this discussion is starting to look like "file" material,
yes?

Sounds like your analogy with the hose and paddle wheels is just about what
I am visualizing for the workings of your experiment.
One detail:
.

.
On the above, I would say that the compression and rarefaction waves would
meet and cancel MOMENTARILY, but would then continue moving and go through
each other and continue unaffected. I've seen this happen with water
ripples. I've even made it happen myself when playing with pulses on
hanging ropes and swinging chains. It's only when the medium is
"nonlinear" that one wave can alter the path of another wave's energy. In
linear media, waves go through each other and come out unaffected.
.
Oh, here's another thing I though of. The resistance of a power supply is
very low, so you treat it as a conductor. So, if you should connect the
battery to the long loop of wire AND LEAVE IT CONNECTED, the waves of
compression and rarefaction should go all the way around the loop, return,
and PASS THROUGH THE BATTERY and go around again. The LEDs should change
brightness many times in a resonant exponential decay, as smaller and
smaller positive and negative current waves go past them. The current
waves would continue forever, but I think the resistance of the LEDs and of
the wire will make them die off after a few trips. If the wire resistance
is high enough, the waves might even be smeared out after a single trip.
Something to watch out for.
.
And even if you disconnect the battery a microsecond after sending the
pulses, you will still get multiple pulses at the LEDs because the missing
battery acts as a mismatched impedance on your line, which causes total
reflection of any waves hitting the end of the wire. The waves will return
to the battery, find it missing, and so reverse course and make trips
around the loop again backwards.
.
Wasn't there some free-energy invention which used very long lengths of
Page 5
wire lying on the ground? I think it was powered by a tesla coil, but even
so, you might get some weird results if your experiment interacts in any
way with telluric currents, AC or DC. You might discover something
interesting. Wouldn't it be great if you could accidentally tap a few
kilowatts from the ether and blow up your LEDs? Or you might discover that
you have to invest in 10000 feet of coaxial cable to get rid of earth
current signals.
.
Also, I wonder if Bearden's "Final Secret" stuff involves some
instantaneous propagation effects, followed by normal light speed effects.
The thing where he connects a voltage to an inductor and then removes it
before current starts, doesn't quite make sense if the starting of the
current propagates as a lightspeed wave. Connecting a battery to an
inductor, for even a brief moment, should in theory send a pulse down the
wire of the coil. But if instead there was some INSTANTANEOUS wave (of
electrogravity?) which filled the whole wire, it might alter the wire and
make it suck ZPE. If this happens, you should see some waves on your wire
which go much faster than the speed of light. Something to watch for!
.
I wonder what happens when you first connect one battery terminal to the
wire loop, THEN connect the other one? The wire will first be suddenly
charged up to the voltage of the battery terminal. As this voltage wave
passes each LED, if it is high enough, it might make the LED pulse very
breifly. This would be weird: flashing the LEDs with only ONE battery
terminal connected. I don't know if the other battery terminal has to be
connected to earth for this to happen, since it is an electrostatic effect.
You also might have to momentarily ground your long wire first, to make
sure it's at 0 volts.
.

Sorry, I'm not local, I'm Seattle, WA. We used to have a fringe
science/UFO/Magik/etc. group here a couple of years ago, called "The

meetings moved out of travel range. There still is Dale Travous here with
his 9 ft. multi 10-KW tesla coil, and Gary Hawkins, who's 30KV capacitor

Yes, Glasshoppah, when ceasing-of-motion wave propagate to the everpresent
"now" of one's position on the worldline, one begins to smell and is in
need of being discarded.
.
Sorry ;)
.
That "ceasing of motion" thing is something I started saying because, when
explaining electricity to people, I found that most everyone uses the word
"current" to describe what flows in wires, rather than calling it
"electricity" or "charge" or electrons.
Page 6
"Current" cannot flow if current IS a flow of something. In my older
message I almost said that a wave of "current" was going down the wire, but
because of the blurry meaning of the word, I instead tried to say it more
accurately.
When you connect a battery to a circuit and wait a while, the whole circuit
ends up with flowing charge. How did that charge start flowing? Well, when
the wires first touched together, a wave of "starting-of-motion" zipped all
around the circuit, leaving constantly flowing electrons in its wake. Now,
when you break a closed circuit, THE ELECTRONS STOP WHERE THEY ARE.
And they do the "stopping" one after another in sequence. And so a wave of
motionlessness, or a wave of zero current, or a wave of ceasing-of-motion
of electrons, overtakes each one in the circuit at the speed of light,
leaving a lot of motionless electrons at the end. In your experiment with
the long wire, the compression and rarefaction waves aren't simply pulses
of breif movement, because in front of the waves the electrons are stopped,
and behind the waves the electrons are moving. The waves are leading edges
of a spreading area of movement of charges.

I don't think it's that easy to build an acoustic phase-congugate mirror.
Don't these devices always require some sort of time-reversal, also some
way of recording a two-dimensional pattern? The simplest way I can think
of doing an acoustic version is this: Put a few hundred tiny loudspeakers
and microphones in a large grid pattern with one speaker adjacent to each
mic. Wire the mics to the inputs of a supertaperecorder having several
hundred channels. Now record some distant sounds. If you now play the tape
back in reverse so the sound comes out of the speakers backwards and
amplified, the waveforms and phases of the sounds coming from the speakers
will be such that the grid of speakers will direct powerful beams of sound
out to each original source. Even with many separate sound sources, the
device will simultaneously send a beam to each one.
.
Here's another idea: line a harbor with numerous individual high-speed
water level sensors, and also numerous wave generators (maybe piston-driven
panels or something) Now make a splash at some particular place in the
harbor, and record the waves received on shore. If you now play back the
received signals into the wave generators, and play them in reverse, you
create a time-reversed contracting ripple pattern that shrinks down into a
splash. And with a little amplification and processing, you could direct
huge splashs to any point in the harbor. I've always wanted to do this
in a science museum duck pond, then let people handle the controls of the
timereversed phasecongugate hydralic wave duck dunker!

On the "artificial superconductor" coil:
.
I came up with my device while wondering how to fake a superconductor
Page 7
levitation effect for a museum exhibit. You probably know that a
superconductor can levitate permanent magnets by excluding their fields via
closed current loops on the surface of the material. What suddenly
appeared in my brain was a picture of a matrix of electromagnet coils, each
with a hall-effect magnetic field sensor in the center, and each driven by
a power amplifier getting its signal from the sensor. This setup does
nothing, since the sensors detect any field from the coils and force them
to turn off.
BUT, if a magnet approaches the matrix of coils, the sensors will turn on
the coils just enough to force the field at the sensors to be zero. This
is just what a superconductor plate does! And the coils do repel the
magnet. Regardless of which pole of the magnet approaches the coil, the
sensor sends a current which forces the coil and magnet to repel.
.
Building this device is easier than it sounds. First try making a single
"repulsor" coil as shown below. You use a switching-type bipolar hall
effect sensor, a PNP and an NPN power darlington transistor, and a coil
taken from a solenoid. I used 1/4-20 bolts for the iron core of my
coils. The coil was for a 12V solenoid, and I drove it with + and - 24Vdc
supplies. I got the transistors from DIGI-KEY electronic mail order, and
the SS41 from R&D Electronic surplus catalog.

Get the circuit operating, place the SS41 Hall-Effect sensor against the
end of the coil's iron core, then bring a bar magnet near the end of the
core and see if it repels. If not, turn the SS41 over to reverse it's
output polarity. Attach the SS41 to the core (I used cable ties and
silicone)
.
This is one repulsor coil. It acts like a bar magnet which repels either
end of another magnet! With five I managed to levitate a 3" alnico rod
Page 8
magnet VERY wobbly and temporary. With two rows of six coils attached to
iron strips, I made a slanted track which bar magnets would zip silently
along. This circuit is too simple and has no adjustments, and it is
underdamped, so levitated magnets tend to wobble. Copper damping plates
(pennys) held near the levitated magnet can cure this, but it's a cludgey
fix. I have yet to build a square panel and attempt to float a big magnet.
.
If you build any of the above, try connecting an audio amp to the DC power
lines. Each repulsor circuit is an inheirant switching power supply, and
the chorus of variable frequency whining sounds from the coils is pretty
cool.
.
On capacitor discharge: leave messages for Gary Hawkins on this board. He
is working with 30kV oil capacitors with discharge energies like a shotgun
blast. Ask him about samples of the pennies and quarters he shrunk by
compressing them with the field of an exploding coil.

Gerald: You are probably already aware of what I am going to say so don't
take offense for it is meant for the folks out there who don't really
understand WATTS, KILLOWATTS or KILOWATT/HOURS. Remember that Tesla said
that a capacitor is an amazing device for it allowed us the flexibility to
store high voltage energy and release it at any time interval that we
deamed oppropriate for our application. Let's look at an example.
I have a bank of Energy Storage Capacitors that came from Oak Ridge, DOE
made by Sangamo Electric. They are 12"x 12" x 30" in size and weigh 200#
each. They are rated at 3000 JOULES @ 60,000 volts. I have a bank of them
numbering 60 each which gives a total capacity of 180,000 JOULES. Now if I
discharge this bank in 1 second @60 KV it would yield a current of 3 amps.
What we are all familiar with is the electric meter which is watt/hours so
this bank of capacitors would yield 50watt/hours,but if I discharge it in 1
millisecond the yield would be 180 MEGAWATTS. Then if I were able to
discharge it in 1 microsecond then the pulse would be 1.8 GIGAWATTS.
The problem is in the fact that the whole bank would explode and devistate
everthing arround it. We can't get conductors big enough to handle the
currents associated with an instantaneous discharge of this magnitude. The
bottom line of the discussion is that power is based on time and the
capacitor allows us to compress a lot of power in a short time frame. Be
careful and good luck. Norm

point out two critical factors in the circuit design:
1.) Regardless of where the comparator reference voltage
is set, the SCR has been triggered and will not turn
off by any subsequent action of the gate voltage from
the comparator output.
Since the SCR is conducting, the sawtooth ramp will
continue to maintain bias on the SCR anode, ensuring
that it will conduct the entire ramp from triggering
to maximum amplitude. There is no way to inhibit the
coil charge cycle at 90 degrees.
2.) Due to the extremely short duration of the sawtooth
"low" state, I have not found an SCR that will respond
to such a short transient and reset before the next
ramp begins. The only exception to this is pulling the
sawtooth waveform below ground by using a negative
supply in addition to the positive battery supply.
This, of course, tends to negate the entire purpose of
the circuit since that supply cannot be replenished.
This has been my experience to date. I am normally not a
skeptic regarding such matters, (I always hope everyone has
altruistic intentions) but something seems to be missing
or incorrect.
Have I missed something?

Ok, here's the scoop on this liquid electricity. The man I know who told
me is getting older, and so couldn't recall all that I remembered, but he
did come up with some more details.
He couldn't recall the man's name, but he is known in the midwest for
his invention that waters farms, sort of a very high-powered water pistol..
It irrigates a farm with one nozzle... it shoots water half a mile or more!
He almost recalle the name, but not quite, but said it rhymes with stag or
stap or something.. He said that someone else did some experiments along
the same lines, that he copied what this man did, and that this other man
disappeared. Whether he left suddenly or mysteriously or just moved away,
or was abducted is not known.
This man did say that the liquid electricity battery was doubly enclosed
(possibly for insulation from heat) and that it was charged for several
hours at a very high voltage and it eventually got extremely heavy. If you
shook it the electricity sloshed around inside.
He had built a small model, cooled by helium (although I thought my
friend said nitrogen last time) that, if scaled up, per his calculations to
a cubic foot, WOULD CONTAIN ENOUGH ENERGY TO LIGHT NEW YORK CITY FOR A
WEEK. Also that this cubic foot of electricity WOULD WEIGH ABOUT TWO TONS.
There is another such device, a different researcher, somewhere in
Washington or Oregon possibly, who has something similar called the Trinium
battery. Don't know if it's exactly the same thing, but if you want I could
trace this down also.
AND, here is another one.
Another type of battery was designed by a fellow named Joe Wallace of
Phoenix, Arizona in the mid-fifties. This battery was TWO CUBIC INCHES, yet
was comparable to the lead-acid car battery we know. And it would draw
higher current. My friend saw one the size of a penny (single cell) that
would produce hundreds of amps at 1-1.5 volts!
It was SILVER BASED; the electrolyte may have been silver chloride. One
terminal was a paste and the other terminal was a solid terminal. There may
be a way to trace this fellow down. However, some of the technology may be
defense related, as Amphenol allowed him to demonstrate his battery to them
(how nice of them) but they didn't want to buy his design, as they had a
similar design which didn't work as well but was adequate for their use,
which was used in the detonation of the Atomic Bomb!
All for now!
Bob
