Re: Holy Crap!

Hi,
The problem is - what in the world is a ""Clay/tone"" ???? It really means 'nothing' in English.. A number of net translator engines get "small" out of it too... The original key word, with the little spots and all lost, is "Tonröhrchen"... I think this is one of those terms only locals that really speak the language all the time understand. So we need some German person to translate it for "sure" ;-)) 

There is a city named Clayton, but I don't think it would fit in the tank...

Cheers,

        Terry

Hi everybody,
The German phrase below translated into english is:
Into a beaker filled with seawater rise up two electrodes, whereby the one by Clay/tone tube is isolated from the surrounding water. If high voltage is applied, then flows for 0,15 Seconds a river by the water, strong up to 60 ampere. 

Have a nice day,

Here is a picture of mine:

http://drsstc.com/~sisg/files/plasma-ball/electrode.JPG

It is 1/4 inch copper tubing covered with poly
tubing. For the end there is about 2 inches of
exposed copper in a 1/2 inch tube. Tape sort of
seals the bottom. Use a little mineral oil to
lubricate the tubing as you try and slide it on.

I think the paper said it is "small plastic" for
the tube although many translates say is is
"clay" too. In the photos and movies it looks
like plastic though. Someone who knows the
German language might be able to tell us for sure
since the words did not translate at all well
there. Clay would just shatter I think.

Or the paragraph under the diagram here:

I should be able to get access to 350uF 10kV cap
bank soon. They only had the cap, but I can
supply everything else ;-)) So I should get to
be able to try it at pretty close to full power.

They were demonstrating it at a big party and the
folks involved have credentials out the
wazzoo... So it should not be a fake thing at all...
