+ | helpfully it is :-) | ||

+ | Some additional informations for you Bob: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Ball lightnings are only few millimeters (around 1/5"), which is very | ||
+ | small. But considering the scale of the coil, they are very big and | ||
+ | lasting very long. You see, when you notice the natural streamer, it | ||
+ | is obvious, that the ball lightnings are very small in a ratio to the | ||
+ | length of the streamer (they are only 11.8" - 20" approx.). For us, | ||
+ | they are huge. But the exact energy of such a streamer is very small | ||
+ | - it is only an impulse. In these coils, the energy is very strong and | ||
+ | repeatable. | ||
+ | |||
+ | My bigger coil (6kW) - streamers up to 7' long), will show ball | ||
+ | lightnings which will last to 5sec., which will be record time, and | ||
+ | they will last long enough to be examined in a controlled conditions | ||
+ | in a lab, after the external power is shut down. this is very | ||
+ | important. They will be like a golf ball in diameter, if not bigger | ||
+ | than this. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Streamers that I have sent you are almost in a scale to the real | ||
+ | model. So, you can see for yourself. Little smaller than that. | ||
+ | |||
+ | They can last (small as this), to 1sec. This is also very good, | ||
+ | considering the energy. I think personally, that this is the record | ||
+ | time of existence on such a small coil. It doesn't have enough energy | ||
+ | to fire up more air or carbon for bigger nucleus. But as bigger they | ||
+ | are, the time of their life is getting longer. So, people are usually | ||
+ | see ball lightnings during the natural discharges, for few | ||
+ | seconds. After that, they shrink, hit some other object... but | ||
+ | evidently last to 10sec. in a best case. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Like I have said: they are lasting for a small period that I can not | ||
+ | tell you anything more about the nature of their behavior. Something | ||
+ | you can find in the mail I have sent on the list now. But some of them | ||
+ | as you may see on the photos can last more, and move further from the | ||
+ | coil, in the same manner, to be captured by the camera as further | ||
+ | out. Sometimes, I shut down HV and they are still lasting for some | ||
+ | time (this is very rear thing, I always must repeat experiment to | ||
+ | achieve this - and this is due to the low power), and other close of | ||
+ | the switch again is making new streamers. Some of them are again | ||
+ | hitting the ball and it uses that energy to survive for a moment more, | ||
+ | and than disappear. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I have said also that they are some sort of stars :-) They have | ||
+ | initial fuel which they are spending through time, showing light and | ||
+ | radiation energy in the space around. After all the fueled from the | ||
+ | nucleus has been spent, they disappear in a form of supernovae. This | ||
+ | is only analogy... but it will be interesting to see whether there is | ||
+ | any relation at all between the stars and ball lightnings, or | ||
+ | not. Especially where do they go after they vanish? Is there any form | ||
+ | of matter still floating around? This is hard to show at this time, | ||
+ | especially because I do not have any measuring equipment - my methods | ||
+ | are different. Hardly that the regular ones could be used for this | ||
+ | purpose, as they can not for non-hertzian waves. They are moving | ||
+ | through the glass (windows), very easily, without breaking them or | ||
+ | leaving any form of distortion at all. This is also very strange. | ||
+ | They can move through matter!! But in the case of glass, it is | ||
+ | understandable, knowing the specific relation between the electrical | ||
+ | current and glass. Still, not quite. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is the shortest I can offer for now. Later I will send you some | ||
+ | more information, and after some further experiments if you like to be | ||
+ | kept informed. [No further information was supplied.] But if you like | ||
+ | you can ask questions, it is much easier for me to answer then, knowing | ||
+ | what you are interested in. [Nele's last known email address is available on | ||
+ | request, it is not posted to prevent Spam.] | ||
+ | |||
+ | Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you about the coil: Secondary coil which you | ||
+ | can see is only 11,8" tall. That gives you the metrics of the | ||
+ | machine. If you like other specific characteristics of the coil | ||
+ | (frequency, wire,...., no problem). | ||
+ | |||
+ | I am taking pictures with a very old camera, using 100ASA 24DIN film. | ||
+ | Exposure time is from 1/125 to few seconds. It doesn't matter really, | ||
+ | when you are making these photographs in a dark room which is the best | ||
+ | by the way. You also need mechanical camera, not by any chance digital | ||
+ | one, or it will burn, because of the HV in the air. The scale is | ||
+ | almost right on the photos you can see on your screen. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It all depends on what you want to see. You can see that on some | ||
+ | photos, there are great amount of streamers and sparks, issuing from | ||
+ | the terminal. This is due to the higher exposure time. On other ones | ||
+ | in a contrary, you can see only few of them, this was important to | ||
+ | capture ball lightnings. But, maybe it would be the best to say that | ||
+ | all that looks much better in a real time :-) | ||

+ | |||
+ | Yes, I am very rarely on the list, maybe there was no subject for me | ||
+ | all that time. Now, someone has mentioned plasma balls. I have great | ||
+ | amount of experiments behind me about Tesla coils, mechanical | ||
+ | oscillators (earthquake machines), wireless power distribution... | ||
