Hi all,

     Thanks for posting this info guys,
   It reminded me that Tesla worked  really hard to make sparks----- 
so he could study what made 'em ----- so he could build a power processor
that wouldn't make sparks --------- yup---- if the resonator is werkin'
------ it ain't sparkin'--------------------(bummer).---------- caffene free
coffee/tea etc. 
      Really ---------- totally un-romantic ----- I'm glad I have so much
studying
to do on making sparks -----nuff said

       Now if I may quote scripture ? ----------  :-)
                           
        Tesla Patent #   1,119,732  -- apparatus for transmitting electrical
energy---- 
        Application filed  Jan 16 1902 
        Patent issued    Dec 01 1914

  Lines 62 thru 68 :  "Evidently, the smaller the curvature the greater, for
a given electric displacement , will be the surface-density and,
 consequently, the lower the limiting pressure to which the terminal may be
charged without electricity escaping into the air."

     No sparks ---- ??   No wonder it took 12 years to patent "The Big One "
:>) 

G'nite  for  now  - thanks again ----
