I think its important to remember, that those making the scientific
claim are responsible for providing the burden of proof.  I have yet to
see any evidence presented by
Dave Thompson that validates any of his ideas / theories.

Colin,
 
    What a "party pooper"!!  If you continue to  insist on injecting
reason and reality into otherwise rousing discussions of  longitudinal
waves, folks will start to suspect you of being a Muggle ;^))
    While for myself, I was unable to see any  connection to
longitudinal waves in the URL cited below, perhaps we should take  a
more Jungian approach. To paraphrase old CJ: "If a man claims to have
had a  religious experience, the only valid conclusion you can draw is
that he has had  a religious experience." Likewise, if one person claims
they have seen a  likeness of Elvis in a Rorschach test, or another
claims he has seen evidence of  longitudinal waves in his TC experiment,
you can only conclude, according to  Jung, that that was their
experience. 
    When a person says,"There is no question in my mind  that I am
correct.." 
you must accept that as THEIR reality. That  others do not see a
reasonable connection does not change this  subjective truth. This is
precisely why science demands independent,  disinterested corroboration,
and in many cases even double-blind tests. As Will  Alcock once said,
"Convincing yourself of your own correctness is trivially  easy. It's
that rest of the world that's a bitch and a half."

Many on this list do consider it to be pseudoscience,  but that is just
an unfounded personal opinion.  There are others on  this list who see
it as valid, verifiable science.

I would have to see the actual  experiments you are talking about to
respond to this request.  As for  actual experiments demonstrating
electrostatic standing waves (longitudinal  waves of ions) in a three
coil system, I present my own  work:
http://www.tesla-coil-builder.com/FlatSpiralSolenoidCombo.htm

There  is no question in my mind that I am correct since I can
physically produce  the phenomenon to which I am referring.  Have you
considered that  before forming your own personal opinion?
