I have never heard of using AC for this kind of thing. DC should give you a much more impressive reaction. I have seen a version of this experiment which would fly like a 'lifter' Built with the same shape but using lightweight foil for the bowl, and bottom. (not sure what the dielectric was) I tried to replicate that one myself using a high K foam, but I was stupid enough to use super glue on the foam. The glue ate through the foam and caused electrical arcing. I am gonna retry it though!
@m3sca1 Cool 'nuf... Ive heard it claimed that some Tesla Coils can end up having more voltage one way than another if thats what you are refering to, by the slight DC...Now a VDG WILL be totally DC...but I am afraid that you will not have enough amps to make it work...but of course I hope you prove me wrong! LOL! Your best bet might be to get an old computer monitor...and using the HV from it. Ive seen some simple instructions on the web. Or just get a cheap HV supply from Ebay like I did LOL!
swinging an unbalanced capacitor pendulum with HV AC-and moving a granite slab capacitor with the output from a piezo crystal BBQ lighter which is situated on a balance.
That's cool! As i understand it the better di-electric AND the higher voltage the better trust.. it's also been tested in some nasa super-vaacum chamber, to rule out the ionic response in ambient air, and although there was smaller response, there still was one. And then i read a report on this with some nice calculations from the UK, it clearly works. Nice demo with the heavy granite brick, maybe a pendulum test to show off ? :)
Oh, and i forgot, the report can be found if you google "Unconventional Science - A British Military Presentation".. ith the first hit in .pdf like a slide-show presentation. Theres other interesting stuff as well, but check the chapter on "Asymetrical Capacitors" Have fun :D

The scale demonstration was really clever. Are you using AC or DC? I missed that in your intro

yeah i think there might be an overall DC effect from the waveform so thats why i think it works.
i have the parts lying around for a van der graaf generator,when i get to building it i will try these things again and make part 2 of this video

believe what you like-i have no reason to fake this-i was doing this for myself.
this is easily repeatable.

oh really ?if i knew that sooner i would have just used strings instead of High Voltage-much easier to replicate.

I thought you need to DC currents, one moving in one drection and another moving in another direction?

obviously not-perhaps there is a large DC component to the waveform-thanx for commenting

wat kinda transformer u using?
good work

havent had much luck with lifters-thats why im piecing together a large van der graff generator.
i was using ignition coils in parrallel.
make sure you ballast your NST i blew mine up straight from the wall.
i was running a xerox phototcopyer gas laser off it,and shooting red beams acroos the valley.
man what a flashback-that was a long time ago!

thanx for your comment.
yes higher voltages and better dilectrics.
im planning on a van der graff build,before doing anymore with this.
m3sca1 3 years ago
Ehm... check this page out. It's all due to ionized air, and won't work in a vacuum. Build a ion-lifter instead, it's more effective.

thanx for your comment- i would like to point out to you that NASA has tested the lifter tech in a vac and it still works.
see only1egg on YT.
also if it is only ion wind-why does the lifter still fly when the polarity of the wires to its charge surfaces is reversed?
pls check the link -i tried it and it did not work.
i am building a modified van der graff generator for part 2 of this series.
stay tuned
these experiments are inpsired by the work of
T.T.Brown, not Major de Seversky.

Try that once again then.
Really, does it fly even with reversed poarity? I want a video of that.
