I've learn't so much about these, it's hard to know where to start.
I haven't got the whole story, but I believe I know a major part of it now.
If not - hopefully will provoke a few thoughts, and give some good info along the way.
I think it's based around Electrostatics, at least that's the power source used.
People looking at the great pyramid as a power generator tend to think in todays terms & technology - adding a somewhat archaic aproach to things - because they presume it's primative. Therefore we have hydrogen generation running turbines and dynamo's. I would say - look closer at the Djed Pillars.
Djed pillars - or Tet, often depicted as a column with 4 tops.
From the earliest examples - are models in ivory - in 3D - being round, but later in 2D only - showing a degeneration of records of what they were.
No real example exists.
I've seen a website saying they used to fly kites - tying the lines to the pillar - maybe they did - but I also think this may have been a feeble attempt to make the machine work. Remember Benjamin Franklin flying his Kite in a storm - and getting electrocuted ?
Some of the pictures show stars (sparks) between the top plates.
The Egyptians were very well organised when it came to mining and smelting - copper was worked extensively - so could be made into large discs.
The column was supposed to be a tree. Colums have been found with concave cuts around them (as tradition). I would suggest that if your column caused tracking to ground - that a better insulator be strapped to it. Papyrus trees could be bound to it increasing the insulating effect.
Regarding refining and metalwork. They used an alloy called Electrum - an alloy of Gold , silver, copper and mercury Electrum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Which they commonly made into caps for the top of pillars, and I guess the Pyramid.
I can't think of a better conductor than this stuff.
Back to The Djed. - Often depicted with the arms of Osiris, the two were classed as the same thing. Religious texts say The Djed symbolises Osiris' backbone - and part of it was nailed to a tree.
I would rather state that the Djed was the backbone or centre of the entire apparatus.
The Two Deaths of Osiris
If you look at the Death of Osiris - Osiris was put in a chest and sent down the river, Isis finds it, laments,then hides it again, Seth finds it - and cuts it into 14 pieces and hides them in the swamps, Isis then finds the pieces - and buries them in the different cities of Egypt.
Is it me - or is this a little strange ?
If you consider it to be a machine of great importance - I could understand it.
More to follow.
