• ABILITY TO CAUSE PAPER TO STICK TO SURFACE, PLAYING CARDS, ETC..
• CAUSING MOTION OF OBJECTS/ION MOTORS
• CHARGING OF OBJECTS TO HIGH POTENTIAL WITHOUT CONTACT
• STATIC ELECTRICITY EXPERIMENTS
• KIRLIAN PHOTOGRAPHY, OZONE PRODUCTION
• STRANGE AND BIZARRE EFFECTS ON CERTAIN MATERIALS
• EFFECTS ON PAINTED AND INSULATED SURFACES - REQUIRES DARKNESS
• EFFECT ON VAPORS, STEAM, LIQUIDS, ETC..
• VISUAL DISCHARGE OF PLASMA FORCE, CORONA, ETC..
• EFFECT ON ELECTRONICS EQUIPMENT, TV, COMPUTERS *ETC., PLEASE READ CAUTION STATE-
MENT
It accomplishes all the above without any direct connections other than the traveling of ions through
air. In order to demonstrate this effect, it is necessary to produce voltages of magnitudes that may
be at a hazardous shock potential but at relatively small amperage. Even though the device is
battery operated with low input voltage it must be treated with caution. Use discretion when using
it as it is possible for a person wearing insulated shoes to accumulate enough of a charge to
produce a moderately painful or irritating shock when he touches a grounded object. The effect
could cause injury to a person in weak physical condition (note warnings). Effects depend on
many parameters including humidity, leakage amounts and types of objects, proximity etc.
The device is shown constructed in two ways. When the output is terminated into a smooth large
surfaced collector it becomes a useful high potential source capable of powering particle accel-
erators and other related devices. It may be built as a producer of negative or positive ions dem-
onstrating a phenomenon that is often regarded as a figure of demerit when building and design-
ing high voltage power supplies. The device is now terminated into a sharp point where leakage
of positive and negative ions can occur. This will result in corona and the formation of nitric acid
via the production of the ozone produced combining with nitrogen and forming nitrous oxide which
with water produces this very strong acid. The production of ions also robs the available current
from the supply.
It is well known that high voltage generators usually consist of large smooth surface collectors
where leakage is minimized allowing these collective terminals to accumulate high voltages with
less current demand. Leakage of a high voltage point is the result of the repulsion of like charges
to the extent that these charges are forced out Into the air as ions. The rate of ions produced is a
result of the charge density at a certain point. The magnitude of this quantity is a function of volt-
age and the reciprocal of the angle of projection of the surface. Note FIG A on experiment sheet.
This is why lightning rods are sharply pointed causing the charges to leak off into the air before a
voltage can be developed to create the lightning bolt.
It is now evident that to create ions it is necessary to have a high voltage applied to an object such
as a needle or other sharp device used as an emitter. Once the ions leave the emitter they pos-
sess a certain mobility allowing them to travel moderate distance contacting and charging up
other objects by accumulation and collision.
SPECIAL NOTE:
A. The ion emitter plays an important function in the proper operation of this unit for the particular
application. It is suggested to use a small sharp stainless steel needle attached to the lead of R5.
This can be accomplished by wrapping thin wire around the overlapping junction of the needle and
lead of R5. A dab of epoxy or hot melt will now further secure this point. The builder should use
his own experimental ingenuity in determining the best approach for this part.
B. The output potential of the unit is several more times than that necessary for actual charging of
the person or object. The peak energy is limited by the two high meg, high voltage resistors R4
and R5. The peak current output is approximately equal to the open circuit voltage that is about
50,000 volts divided by 400 x 10 e+6 ohms. This equates out to approximately 125 micro amps.
The average current is about 100 micro amps and can be considered constant for most loads and
charges objects of electrical capacitance [C] up to a voltage by the following formula: V = it/c
where t = time in seconds c = capacitor of object in farads. The average human body usually
equates out to 40-60 pfd. Objects of larger capacity could mathematically charge up to dangerous
energy amounts if they were well insulated. Consequently this must be taken into consideration.
An example is the following: An object of capacity equal to .001 mfd, insulated up to 25,000 volts
would charge up to near this value in approximately 1/3 sec. This should equate out to [1/2] [.001]
[10E-6] [625] [10E+6] [.5] equals .2 joules and can result in a painful electric shock as anyone
knows who has gotten across a charged capacitor.
