Hi Bert,
Thanks for the note about the bad pointer. It should be fixed now.
The pointer changed to:
http://www.peakpeak-dot-com/~terryf/tesla/experiments/planant/WAVEANT5.ZIP
This is a newer version that has a bunch of typos fixed.
I have been busy this week and haven't been able to play much with higher
power strikes. I don't have much I would like to comment on now but there
are many things I need to look at. The very high voltage stresses and where
the missing energy is going are two. More latter.
I would like to know about your light bulb experiment. How is was set up
and what happened?
I would also like to know where you disagree with the conclusions and why?
Perhaps something was not explained well or there is something I need to
look at closer.
Thanks for your interest.
Terry Fritz
