NOTEPAD for RANDOM IDEAS

[Trickfox]

Mikado,

i am trying to wrap my mind around the tunneling concept. We do not understand all the mysteries of the atom and our theories may be just that, theories. I have heard of the quantum theory and other ways to explain this but I'm not so sure if I have it right in my mind. Yes, you are right, I meant at the barrier the electron passes the barrier and is ejected. But isn't this faster than normal? That is the part I'm trying to understand.

In spintronics, electrons are theorized to have a plus (+) or negative (-) spin. We used to use up and down arrows in chemistry class. Now does a tunnel diode only pass the positive (+) spins but not the negative (-) spins? Or does it pass both and why?

So if I understood your technical discussion, you said:

Switching time is generally described as how fast a diode can go from the conduction state to the cut off state.

Is this analogous to the quench time for a spark gap in a Tesla coil? In other words, how fast you can turn off or quench the spark? Now I was going to ask you if you could make an oscillator using a tunnel diode and I see you can. I also learned that they are sensitive to radiation. Which makes sense as diodes are used as detectors in radio frequencies. But are they sensitive to gravimetric radiation as well?

MagicBill

They are if you synchronize the lorentz transformation time sequency. Mess with gravity and you mess with time ..remember?

I believe you have that backward about the radiation thingy.

Mikado,

I see you're right. Semiconductor diodes are more sensitive to radiation than tunnel diodes. So does that mean radiation interferes with the "stuff" in semiconductor diodes but the electrons tunneling through the barrier and popping out the other side cannot interfere with radiation? Interesting...

He's right about everything Mikado. The only thing he has not said anything about is "the origin" of the EMF force and it's directivity with relationship to the phase angle of the planar surface and passive or parametric values "inductive and capacitive reactance". In a sea of EMf noise we call the universal background radiation, how does one single bipolar junction sort "information" out from the rest of the background and manmade cacophony of frequencies. Perhaps, The answer lies in the reaction of heterogenic organic dielectric materials themselves.. Just a shot in the dark for me....

hmmmm.....negative resistance....hmmm

Radiation half life and time differences....hmmmmm

Trickfox,

Tesla claimed that scientists were wrong when it came to theories about radioactivity. He claimed radiation was a result of actions on the radioactive material from outer space. At one time half life for a radioactive material were thought to be constant. We now know this not to be true. Tesla was right.

Now that also brings in the fact that radioactive dating may not be so accurate as once thought.

if this is so then it follows that if there is an increase in the size of the planar surfaces, there will also need to be an increase in the amount (volume) force, of the applied emf. This however may lead to a break down of the dielectric material due to its nonelastic nature and inability to hold the generated electric fields applied....

What you state here in this sentence is nothing more than you can find in any Engineering text book in relation to Capacitor construction. The thickness of the dielectric ALWAYS controls the breakdown voltage.

so applying this thought to the description of the device we can see that we obviously need to increase the reactive surface area of the planar surfaces... but what of the dielectric between...?.if you increase the thickness of the dielectric you diminish the effect of the emf.... chicken and egg.. horse and cart...

If you are going to "ping" on me how about rephrasing the question as to the symmetry of the device. For me to answer your question as put forth I will have to assume from your wording, I do not like to assume. As to the "horse and cart", ever see the cart go first? It does if you make the horse backup.

Ii just dont see the described size of the device and its planar plates in the post as having adequate surface area.. do you?...

It's all relative, you could hold one in your hand or have it as large as the motorcycle you drove as a teenager.

you folk are aware of dielectric doping.??...

I don't know about other "folk" on the forum but I sure am. And I will go one step further and tell you that there is a picture of such on this forum. But that is another story.

He's right about everything Mikado. The only thing he has not said anything about is "the origin" of the EMF force and it's directivity with relationship to the phase angle of the planar surface and passive or parametric values "inductive and capacitive reactance".

I understand what he is saying. Now as to you, which "emf" force? There is more than one. As to the capacitive element and inductive element etc in Dr. Brown's work, well, I would bet that it is in those notebooks that Morgan has and we will not know for a long time.

Whatever EMF force ARC was talking about...he's the one who mentioned it...as if it was the big bang itself reverberating as the background radiation.... Whatever...an EMF source HAS to have a source and it's waves of EM expand from the origin.....

Mikado,

I can't resist. Of course you Could hitch the horse to PUSH the wagon from the start. Not the way most would think of, but better by far than having to back up the whole way. No more to add to this great thread. Just a silly observation that sometimes things PUSH instead of PULL. <g> Linda

"arc" ..... a literary term perhaps .... this week? Linda

Linda Brown,
You beat me by one minute then, quick draw Linda B.
Everything is pushing inwards, except when another field pulls it out due to it having so much pushed into it's field that it interferes with our field, hence light pops out of the surface of this planet, been pushed out through this planet by the pressure at the other side of this planet flowing towards the larger field of the sun.
Our dominant short distance survival detectore SEE it the other way around, as though light is coming from the sun, not in hobbit land it doesn't.

Where may I find this picture… it is a story that needs to be told Mikado...

Hello Arc,
Best method for finding past posts is to type a keyword in at the upper right of these forum pages. Since there are so many posts here, you will still get several "hits" to your inquiry. Although I have been here for a while, it is not nearly as long as many others, so I also have been directed to previous posts and learned of the search function to find references to topics.

As for the motorcycles and racehorses, I have ridden both, and prefer the horse. It may not be as fast in MPH, but for me it is much more exhilarating.

Hello arc,

I assume you will be correct in that this information is most likely part of any modern electrical or engineering course. As I am neither I am trying to look at it from the perspectives of event/action/reaction/interrelation. What I am presently pondering on is the nature of the dielectric itself. Perhaps there is some part to be played by manual adjustment of the physical properties of the medium, at the time of creation (think of plywood for a moment) just how much can we alter an electrical reaction by creating a physical change in mediums characteristics, what happens when we use multiple individual elements… just what does happen when we introduce those foreign elements Mikado?

It is very important that you must remember your admission that you are neither for when I answer further down. I appreciate the way you percieve but you must remember that in order for an event to occur, something must be the trigger, the event itself is action etc. I am not going to pick at it any further however, you jump to plywood, let us talk plywood which by the way, has a very poor K value. Let's look at what you have said - just how much can we alter an electrical reaction by creating a physical change in mediums characteristics, what happens when we use multiple individual elements… just what does happen when we introduce those foreign elements Mikado? What the hell are you attempting to say here? I told you before, I don't assume. "electrical reaction" - reaction to what? "physical change in mediums characteristics" - What medium and what type of physical change? "multiple inidividual elements" - an element of what? "foreign elements" - well I haven't a clue AM.

I do not understand your phrase “ping on me” you have something in mind but I have a background of a different nature.

"ping on me" is exactly what you are doing, you seem astute enough to be able to "ponder" upon it.

Rephrasing the question… you mistake my ramblings Mikado, there was no question implied, I am presently musing on the possibilities of the original article being 100% factual.

I mistook nothing - but what of the dielectric between...?. I saw the word "what" and the "?" both indicative of an interrogatory, I will be sure that if I see those again in any of your posts that you are merely "rambling".

From what I have seen of Mr Browns works this particular article is in and of itself most interesting, but I also think there is a high probability factor that it is also a carefully worded obstifucation ????? of underlying themes. It has many aspects that relate to science from time frames as divergent as faradays right up to very modern magnetic walls. This document has my interest and if you and others here are willing to bounce the ball back over the net perhaps we can discern some of the thought patterns related to its construction and what it is actually saying.

Magnetic wall? I must say that I have never heard the term before so you do have the advantage. As far as bouncing the ball back over, I am sitting in the stands and no where on the court. Remember your first admission about not being "either". Therefore it may be futile in discussing manufacturing techniques and the use of terms found only in Engineering textbooks, by your own admission I say this.

Capacitors indeed come in a variety of makes and sizes, do you think this one as described has the potential to be a TTB device. If we consider the other aspects ,emf, frequency, and as you mentioned the physical layout etc … what are your thoughts on this Mikado…? and others here

Description of what? Everything in your previous post failed to describe from an engineering viewpoint anything as to potential to be nothing more than a capacitor at best. You mentioned planar surfaces and dielectrics. Again, I will not assume as to what you are asking.

Where may I find this picture… it is a story that needs to be told Mikado...

The picture is in the forum, as to any story to tell, remember, your not an engineer so it may be pointless and I doubt you have the necessary security clearances.

This indeed is another aspect of the device Trickfox, one which is under consideration as I presently am focussing on the dielectric for now, the shape of the plates and the particular attachment point itself I think will give rise to different "varying" outputs.

The "shape" of the plates? Are these the planar surfaces you mention? What you "think" may be wrong...but then it may be right. You are still very much "pinging".

And now it is time for the Mikado to speak forth.. you mention the existence of many emf,s (electro-motive forces.. the flow of electricity for those who were not conversant of the term) which emf are you mentioning here Mikado, is it one to drive the thrust plates of the TTB device or another..?.. or perhaps you think of many thrust plates and also a difference in the alignment configuration of the connectivity between the two. .

Now this paragraph really had me ...what was it you said one time about spewing your juice on the keyboard? This has been a real treat AM, it really has. And if you are not AM, tell him I said Hi!
