What is Cold Electricity?

[BroMikey]

I started this thread and then gave up on it because nobody really had the "one correct answer" but............

One type that appeals to me is the cold electricity of Marc Belanger.



Thanks to all, but special thanks to Mike for pulling together the relevant videos, etc. relative to Marc B. Now I'm ready to do some more experiments.

Hi Wayne

I am glad to see you back giving it a shot, you won't be let down
this time, Marc is very thorough when it comes to defining his
experiments.

Here is a young inexperienced college student that looks at
cool electric like this. Maybe he got it right? I don't know.

What do you think?

Here's my 50 cents:

In my view whenever we are measuring a voltage in a closed loop we actually measure two different things at the same time, and they each contribute 50% to the final voltage.

One half of the total voltage is the electron gas pressure, or static potential you could say. This is exactly the same pressure as in a pneumatic or hydraulic system. The pressure in turn defines the charge density and thus the generated electric field.

You can measure this pressure by connecting one lead to the point you want to measure while holding the other in your hand (touching that is) or connecting it to an earth ground or any other big conducting object (which will act as your reference pressure). Keep in mind there is always some capacitive coupling, so you'll usually measure a bit more than half the voltage.

The electric field of course contributes the other half of the voltage, it creates a force on the electrons just like the static pressure.

This is why you can get shocked by touching just one terminal, capacitive coupling only plays a minor role. Electrons are rushing into and out of your body (which is like a big balloon for electron pressure) thereby creating a current.

Also there is two different kinds of capacity, one is the well known capacitor which is defined by the surface area and dielectric in between. However there is another kind that plays a role in single wire transmission: just raw electron gas volume, ie. weight in copper. The more volume you have the more electrons you can push/pull without a big change in pressure.

And this is how you can get a cooling effect: by releasing pressure in the electron gas.

Also an earth ground acts as a zero pressure reference, anything you connect to ground will have zero electron gas pressure.
