Gray Tube Replication

[Aaron]

diode and tube contents

I suspect the bigger the diode the longer it takes to close. I wonder if this is along the same lines as what Bearden talks about when he speaks of stalling the electron? So the Non divergent energy flow can collect in the cap?
I think that was "Final free energy secrets" or somthing like that.

Is the Tube you have vacuum sealed or just closed up? What kind of coil are you using(brand and model if availible)

I got to try one of this out.

Matt

Hi Matt,

I had great results with other diodes too. I used strings of 1n4001's but the most durable diodes that I have used are 6A100's. I used strings of these and have never had them fail on me. http://www.mrelectronic.com/Product/6A100.aspx They are 6A 1000V.

The tube I have is just closed with regular air inside.

Thanks Aaron, when I am ready I will start a thread about radiant energy.

For now I settle with the fact that I believe we have a magnetoelectric scroll wave going out from the HV-LV collision in the Gray tube. I believe we will push or screw it further and further out by each collision. Between the circle lines will be the high magnetic energies(looking for expansion) and at the circle nodes the HV(looking for implosion) energy. Anyway, the small beads will be the ultimate receiver since many different amplitudes/neutrino frequencies can be caught if the beads are really small and with variable size. Water in the tube would be interesting too...

This needs many experiments and a drawing to clarify however... Soon christmas, I will take a break and get back later. Thanks to all for your hard work and merry christmas.

Aaron, I'm curious as why there is a Pot or rheostat symbol inside the Grey"s tube in the patent schematic drawings? It is not in the large drawing of the Tube. Also in the description it do say that he incorporated "A resistive device to aid in controlling the amount of current drawn from the energy source (Battery)." And again in column 6 Item 50 it refers to it as a "variable resistor".

I believe I read somewhere that the bored out carbon rod he used for a resistor in the CSET was actually variable because the copper rods could be slid in or out to vary the resistance.

I still have no clue, however, as to what criteria he used to tune the device, or what the ideal resistance was supposed to be..

Thats cool! But it sounds like it would require disassemble of the tube to preform this task, Wit the carbon inside the tube and all.

Mallory Promaster Coil

What kind of coil are you using(brand and model if availible)

Hi Matt,

I forgot to answer this.

The coil is a Mallory Promaster
Mallory :: Products
It is one of the ones with the black top and not red. I do not know which one it is exactly. I took it out of my 1973 Datsun 240Z. It was together with a Mallory racing distributor.

It is over 50kv and not sure of any other specs.

Gray Tube Simple Setup Picture

Setup from the vids:

[Electrotek]

Good Work!

This look great Aaron! Do you still have this set up?

One thing I'm curious about: if the inductor (coil) is turned sideways, what effect will it have on a wooden dowel placed through the hole? With my spark set up, the dowel jumps into alignment with the coil's axis when the cap fires.

[Aaron]

Gray Tube setup

Thanks! I don't have this setup any longer. This was the exact setup I used for the video I posted. I just pulled out an old pic and labeled it.

I don't know about the coil and wood.

This one you see did not make the magnet move when I used ignition coil discharges. It did make the magnet wiggle when I used capacitance discharge into the HV rod.

When I used a coil with iron welding rod bundled core, I had a magnet on top and with capacitance discharge, that is what repelled it a few inches.

That is interesting you got the wood to move!

[Jetijs]

Maybe that is static charge that makes the wood move, because wood is a neutral object and static charge of positive or negative polarity will attract it. Like this:
YouTube - Static Electricity demonstrations

[Electrotek]

Hi Jetijs,

I think you're right. And the spark itself kicks the wood when I use the dowel as a handle, to position the wire for the spark. Makes me think of some of TT Brown's assemblies.

Here's my circuit and equipment:
http://www.freewebs.com/attatchments/pics/setup.jpg

Aaron did something like this over on the Water Sparkplug list (message #1383). Like his test, mine is almost silent, with a puffed up spark. My cap is running at 7.5kV, 16uF. That list is amazing!

I was very fortunate to find a used medical equipment store, since these components came from a junk defibillator.

[What The Flux]

Woo-hoo! My first plasma spark!

I was just in the middle of changing my spark setup from a charge pump over to rectified house voltage when the doorbell rang, and my capacitors showed up.

So now I have line voltage charging my 330uF cap up to about 140V, which is relay switched through my ignition coil. I had been getting a nice 1/4" spark with my old setup, but got no plasma effect with either a 16uF cap or a microwave oven cap.

After I had the standard spark, I hooked up eight 1KV diodes to the HV node and WHAP! Scared the hell out of me. But finally I got that effect. It worked with a 1/4" gap and a 1mm gap, and with a cap voltage as low as 90V. Next step is building my grids out of copper mesh, which I already have.

@Aaron:
Is it your opinion that Gray used plasma sparks? I had heard that witnesses saw a bright glow coming from the CSETs, which I don't think you would get from regular sparks. Especially at only 3KV.

I'm going to experiment with both carbon and graphite to see if there is any difference in the resistive element.

Another question you may or may not know: I saw a video, but can't find it now, where someone had added something to the spark plug circuit that made the spark quieter, but still allowed the plasma effect to occur. Do you remember what that was?

Thanks, Aaron, for your contributions that allowed me to get this far. Me so happy.

WTF

Congratulations! It was exciting when I first saw the spark Luc was showing everyone.

I think in the Gray Tube ultimately it will look like the plasma spark but much bigger and scary.

This is my vid that was a quiet plasma burst:

Silencing the plasma spark

YouTube - Water Sparkplug | Plasma Ignition | With current restriction

That's great. Sorry I didn't realize that was your video. I've watched so many... it gets overwhelming. And also sorry for not crediting Luc on this whole deal. He is truly a pioneer.

I took my hand-made coil from my Bedini SSG experiment and hooked it up to the LV side of my spark. So cool! I just get a pfft instead of the loud snap, but the spark is just as bright. My cats are no longer concerned with my experiment.

Things are moving right along.

Carbon Resistor

@all

the carbon resistor represents two features in one.

1. It represents as described by Tesla...a stout conductor of inappreciable resistance. This provides a high resistance to high frequency/potential currents and forces the radiant energy to the outside of the conductor.

2. The carbon provides a cleaner aether stream at the same time

It is the equivalent of Tesla's copper strap primary.

How to open a D Cell Battery

For the carbon, I took a "D" size battery, opened it up and took out the graphite rode from the positive terminal. Cleanded it up, cut it into 3/4", 1/2" pieces with my dimond blade wet saw and made a 1/4" hole on to each end on my lathe for press fitting my LV stainless steal rod.

Mr. Sherlock or anyone else.

What is the safe way to open up a D cell battery to get the carbon? Regular alkaline?
