Hi Ralph,

I had just posted my latest notes at 2:30 this morning.  They are at...
http://www.tesla-coil-builder-dot-com/FlatSpiralSecondaryLongitudinal.htm
http://www.tesla-coil-builder-dot-com/FlatSpiralSecondaryPlasmaBall01.htm

I will soon perform experiments to follow up on my observations.

If any of the coilers on this list live near South Central Illinois, they
are welcome to come over and participate in the experiments.

Just contact me off list at dave-at-volantis-dot-org.

Dave

Hi Dave,

As I interpret Malcolm's question above, he is specifically asking you to
describe a
method for producing and detecting the longitudinal waves you claim are
being
produced
by your coil. You respond by saying "Gladly. I have already succeeded in
producing
longitudinal waves."

I have visited your web site several times. I have read every word, and I
have looked at the pictures.
Nowhere can I find any instructions on how to confirm the existence of the
longitudinal waves
you claim to have produced.  Ethical scientific proceedure requires that you
share with
other researchers the information needed to reproduce your claimed results.

Malcolm's question is clear and concise. I repeat it below:
