Experiment Involving discharges to a Probe

Crater-like results (Isolated Craters)

CRT-surface discharges have demonstrated the similarity
between patterns formed by electric discharges there to features
on celestial bodies of much larger scale


   You've no doubt looked at all the images and hopefull read the captions below.If so, you may find some of what is presented on this page to be familar yet it is my hope to fillin any balnks.

Here are some of the conclusions or tidbit you should have gathered from previous pages:

  • These are lowtech experiments, with no special equipment or preparations
  • Monitors are an old CRT and a newer 12V/120V TV/VCR
  • The CRT may have internal issues, hinted by an occasional internal arcing sound.
  • Probe is my finger. No special effort was made to create a charge differential
  • Probe proximity to the monitor screen was close for crater formations
  • Atmosphere is low humidity temperature 70*F-90*F
  • Natural materials have been field dust and air bourne particulates
  • Articicial materials have been fiberglass powder, foot powder and baking soda
  • Crater-like features result when CRT is energized
  • When power is off lichtenbergs figure might form
  • Crater-chain features were made under same conditions as isolated craters
  • Two monitors have been passed in close proximity with great results

How to get started

I hope none of you live in a dusty environment like I do but if you do you may want to first reviewthe repiratory mantianenance tips i've written up for the many reasons which maydemand an agressive effor to relieve symptoms of particulate invasion of our bodies. You will be raising up some dust while you set up and conduct these experiments so take precautionary steps, mostof all breath through your nose.

The best results seen in the early discovery of these patterns came from an accumulation of dust to a verticle screen over many months and through many energizings of the CRT. It was caked on their real good and the discharge patterns were well defined. No pictures are available from then. The TV images come close but only by a small amount.

The process of geting the crater-like features may be dificult if humidity is high. The monitor's screen will become energized electrostatically when it is turned on so if you are adding dust to the monitor you may need to let it stand for a while without power on so that the dust doesn't blow off the screen easily with the energizing of the discharges. On one occasion which produced favorable results i use a mister bottle to bind the material to the surface and then let it dry before energizing the monitor. This could be risky so use good judgement.

In my early stages of discovery the monitors were always verticle so material falling back to the screen was not a certain as when the monitor screen was horizontal. There are advantages to both. The reaquiring of material has helped to identify an important aspect of feature formations seen in spiders and the interior radials of craters so try both orientations.

Observation 2
  Crater chains were the first of many patterns to be revealed in the CRT experiments and over several years and through more unique moments of inspiration than I can count other patterns occurred. These are recognized to have such a striking similarity to features on celestial bodies, such as Mars, Jupiter's moon Ganymede and other bodies of this solar system that there seems to be little doubt of the electrical influences and potential importance available toward understanding solar system history in all related areas to be considered.

  The discovery of similarities between discharge patterns to a dust covered CRT and crater features (seen on moons, asteroids and some planets) came in an unusual manner, while marveling at the amount of dust that had accumulated on an old VGA CRT. As I reached out to smudge the surface with my finger i was surprised by a sizeable discharge that made a curiously perfect circular crater, with an undisturbed middle, in the dust. Additional passes with my finger yielded a wide variety of patterns. Some are listed below and with the images at the link to a image site.

  These features are called; chained craters, scalloped trenches, craters with internal radial features and donut-looking craters. Craters also form on the
rims of other craters. Rim crater pics.

Observation 3
  There seems to be a two directional interaction occurring in these discharges. Material is collected to the probe while in one location and upon saturation the charge imbalance switches to send the material back to the surface. In the case of isolated crater formations and chains, material seems to collect back to the central areas and around the rims. During another form of discharge which creates spiders, the material collects along the centers of the tendrils.
This bi-directional characteristic became more pronounced during the two-monitor screen-pass experiments which formed several varieties of features (lowest image at left). The other screen had an equivalent number of crater features on it for each negative spider on the lower monitor. The proximity between the screens was tight and power was either on or off for either monitor but not the same setting.
  You can compare these images with the numerous images of features commonly seen on Mars, Moons and asteroids and you make the call.

   Here are some technical consideration to be noted.

About Plasma Cosmology
  We are aware of the plasma nature of the space enviornment and the plasma sheaths that form around bodies in space as they move within the solar stream of charged particles. We have reason to conclude that these bodies become charged electrostatically with their own state of charge. We know, from basic electricity, that two objects of differing charge potential will discharge in arc mode as they come into close proximity but even before that happens there are other modes of discharge which can reveal their activity in loosely bound material on the surface of an object such as a CRT.

  In an upcoming paper each of these modes of discharge will be mentioned and associated to specific patterns seen on surfaces of celestial bodies.

  The CRT experiments give us a unique opportunity to see the reaction of different materials to discharges of several types. Field dust gives us a surface that resists discharge until a point at which intensity has built up and upon discharge material is removed from the surface and redistributed in specific manners. Another material, fiberglass, gives us a surface which is highly excitable after power has been terminated to the CRT tube. The material will leap off the CRT surface as interaction occurs with an approaching body, a finger in this case. The departure of material is one detail but the patterns left behind are significantly more important for the features which result from deposition. Compare the images at the links to the left with images from any space mission and see for yourself and decide for yourself, from this evidence and that obtained from your own experiments, what is the most believable explanation for the formation of surface features in this Electric Universe .

A simple CRT experimant with a spark through powder can create many different patterns but this spider pattern in the previous image is notable in it's similarity to Martian Spiders
