My question is this in one of Tesla's designs there seems to be a machine The so called death ray that uses Charged tiny droplets of mercury Shot out of a railgun that once they come in contact with the object destined For destruction release their high voltage electric charge and since they Contain high velocity they enter the object as well and destroy it from the inside out. This seems a reasonable design, but very very hard to practically implement That requires government size research Budgets to really develop it. What strikes me however is that according to this design Tesla used A kind of vandegraaf generator that Was specially designed to use a certain Gas instead of a belt as a conveyer Of charge on the charged droplets of mercury.... Has anyone ever seen or heard from this kind of advanced vandegraaf generators? I personally do have a need for such a very high voltage D.C. Source, although It is completely different than the application that Tesla used it for... Can one explain to me in detail How such a machine would work and function... In the vandegraaf pages I did read this kind of machine Is sometimes mentioned as an advanced step, But I could not find any thing on line at All describing how one would build something like this or any amateur who has done so. Or did I somehow misunderstand or intrepid the way this was mend or intended? Please forgive me any language mistakes since English is not my native speech, it is Dutch actually... Ps: moderator I am sorry for stretching Up the subject to this, it is however Tesla As well as high voltage related... _______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla
