Original papers and drawings I distributed in 1991 that someone put on the Internet: http://www.amasci.com/caps/capwarp.html Some of my early "half-baked" letters: Sianis.pdf "Serrano's recent patent for a similar device." http://www.amasci.com/caps/capatnt.html Downloadable PDF of Serrano's patent: amasci_capatnt.pdf Here's Serrano's device as built and tested by Jean Naudin: http://jnaudin.free.fr/html/sfptv1.htm Downloadable PDF: jlnlabs_sfptv1.pdf Mr. Serrano used a wedge configuration "similar" to my first design. In Serrano's demonstration device, Substitute better Dielectrics for the Styrofoam and the air spaces. Or just use the best dielectrics you can. Remember that the wedges must have a higher dielectric rating than the dielectric used to fill the "spaces." Styrofoam has a rating of 2.5K and air is 1K. The stronger dielectric should have a much higher rating than the weaker one. Dielectric tips: http://rimstar.org/materials/dielectrics/dielectrics.htm |
