@Pascuser. I am sure that Ben will give us the measurements when he gets the parts . I would say that the large copper tube is definitely 29-30 mm because you can tell this just by comparing it to the plastic tube on the video . Also on video number two , compare it to the small 10 mm tube . It is obviously about 3 times bigger rather than 2 times . If you can not get adapters of the correct length or diameter , you may need to find someone with a lathe to modify them . I hope this helps .
     Another thought I had . The walls of the pyramid do not just act as a reflector . If they did , then the reactor would still work  with different sizes of pyramid , just as you can use a bigger satelite dish with the same LNB[ the bit that sits at the focal point} I think that the inside of the pyramid acts as a resonant cavity , and the size of the reactor has to match the resonant frequency of this cavity . Just a theory .

It is obvious that Thomas went to a lot of trouble to make videos . But it is almost impossible to make 3 hours of video without slight mistakes , or leaving something out . It is a good thing we have Ben , who in time will resolve all the very small details . If we draw the wiring diagram as a schematic , it can be seen that the inner and outer reactor coils are in series [most likely series adding ] and the copper tubes and sand cause it to have increased self capacitance . The capacitor [which consists of a sort of bifilar coil ] is connected in parallel with the reactor coils . So the whole thing becomes a parallel tuned circuit . What would be very useful if someone who gets a reactor built to close specification could measure its resonant frequency with a Grid dip oscillator , or a scope and signal generator . Also , on his website Thomas says he he will give a formula to calculate the reactor for other pyramid sizes . I am not sure if he has shown it yet , but we know it exists .I would guess that the resonant frequency of the reactor is between 10 and 20 Mhz.That is just a guess.A Rough estimation of the wire diameter measured to include the insulation . Looking at the video , we know the distance on the inner copper tube between the 2 holes , and we know the number of turns . Simple mathematics .

hi all

please excuse the following 'damn fool' questions - i have a quota of them to fulfill, so i can justify my position as resident damn fool

has anybody asked to see, on video, a clearly-derived scope trace and  DVM reading of the unloaded and then resistive-loaded o/p voltage from this Giza?

if not, what convincing argument is produced to explain why these are not forthcoming?

seriously now, this is not a criticism - it is a valid technical query

if this data exists, could someone please provide a link?

many thanks
np

@nul-points . If you go on youtube and search for TT`s channel [nanotec99`s channel] and look through the videos , there is one of an oscilloscope trace
[...]

thanks Mr N!  i'll go and have a look

Hi All,

There are not any damn fool questions, only damn fool answers.  I have a lot of questions too but I'm going to follow the build by rote
method and when I get some output, I'll damn sure measure it and know exactly what it is pronto.  I know there is a pack of questions about inductance, AC, DC, purpose and specifications of exciter motor, that single scope shot, tuned cavity vs. resonant reactor, DC from an AC circuit with NO rectification, size, turns, length, etc.  I'll try and find out the answers, when I'm sure, I'll speak.  I am NOT going to spew forth what I think about it as we all have our pet theories.  I will show what is real and exact when I can.  Anyone else doing this I hope will do the same.  I know we have some excellent engineers, technicians, builders both mechanical and electronic out there on this and other list.  There are some I know more competent than myself, but I hope I can provide the "spark", and a small bit of guidance to keep the "herd" all going in the right direction with the artist and builder Thomas. 

Again, folks, be patient, I just didn't have time to do any work on it today except to find out my #16 TW wire was too large and only allowed me 77 turns on a trial inner tubing. I also ordered a couple more things on Ebay for shop stock.   I to have ask myself EVERY question I have see and heard (and a few more) since the list started.  None of the questions are without merit but ALL IN DUE TIME.  The only questions I will ask of Thomas is pertaining on HOW to build it to keep this the give and take to a reasonable level.  That is the first step.  Later we can develop a model as to HOW and possibly WHY it works when we have one or more working units. 

I have the worlds smallest but well equipped shop. Between the closet where I think and work, the desk where I "talk" to all of you and the storeroom where I keep equipment not in use, I have most everything covered.  Years of scrounging, buying off Ebay for pennies on the dollar have come to this.  The shop scope is an excellent FLUKE PM3394B, a few years old but a damn good 4 channel scope. Assorted pulse/waveform generators, power supplies, drawers of meters, HV probes, HV power supplies AC and DC, list goes on and on. WHEN I get measurable output, I will buy a portable battery operated scope to look at the isolated output real time and will also buy whatever else it takes to document and understand the process. 

A mechanic is only as good as his tools and an inquisitive experimenter is only as good as his tools and his abilities to use them after a certain point.  The most important tool is the brain and using it in a constructive manner.  Think, Think, Think. What ever it takes, it will be done.  IF I don't know the answer to what I see, I'll either put a video up on YouTube or a series of pictures here for all to analyze.  In the arena we are working, many inquisitive and constructive thinking heads are better than one.   

Just remember, this technology is thousands of years old.   Unlocking old technology and the secrets of the past is a painstaking business of electronic/electrical archeology and the last thing we want to do is get sidetracked on a basic error in theory or understanding.    So I guess I must crawl before I walk.  All I ask is that we do this together.  At some point, I expect to see the younger, brighter and more mental nimble than myself to get up and run away with it!!!  Then my job will be finished!

Remember, it is easy to "speak" with authority, but to show why your have the authority to speak  is  much more difficult!

That is all.

Respectfully
Ben K4ZEP

Oh Lord... Please to all, calm down, and save the space here for useful comments!
I don´t want to create some kind of religion here, because we have plenty of them (and maybe there is some useful religion out there)

Well, I want so say it clear: I am not the well donated Scientist, I am a fully normal Guy and I made all my experiments in a manner of "Try and Error"
That´s why I am not the best in Explaining of Functions, and I am not the inventor of Scopes, I am the amateur User.

That´s why I can´t serve you all the Details on the golden Dish, and that´s why I am on such Forums like this.
(I am here to find answers and partners wich can give this)

I dont want to create some partys between believers and non- believers, and I don´t want to animate anybody to invest in building a Pyramide.

Now I had personal Contact to Ben K4ZEP and we will make this Project now to proof the basic Function.
On the other Side, FREIGEIST in Germany received my first Parts (reactor) and i hope to get som results in near time.
Next week, i can send my package to Ben, and I will guide him till the moment, we can proof the System in FL too.

After this is done, we can discuss whole nights to increase the Harvest, but now, we have to do our Basics.

That means, Now it is not useful to speak about the function-principe, now it´s useful NOT to nerve the two constructors in germany and FL    (Sorry Ben, I told you, it will not become easy, to be the Guy in US...)

Both constructors will give you all proven results from they own hands, and then you can do with this work, whatever you want to do.
But I think nobody will keep anybody by hand as a small child.

Nice greetings, Tom

Thomas, just 2 simple questions and i need a simple answer,
if you are a Ham operator,  did you check if your pyramid works in a faraday cage?  or did you try to switch off your houses electricity inlcuding your ham equipment? if you havent it might well be the case that you have not took this to account,   because i made LC coils  which drew  energy inside the house from the mains, i could light little lamps and run little motors with it,   i had to ask this question as you have not said anything about this.
Thank you friend

Hi Ben,
nice replication work so far.

Have you already located a water leyline near where you live ?

Some folks on the german overunity.de forum said it would probably
work on the RF frequencies that come out of the earth at these places from some kind
of corona discharges...
So it would be required to tune to the exact resonance frequency.
So it would be also interesting to test to use instead of the bifilar capacitor coil
to use a variable capacitor, so you could tune it much more easily or
add this at the end of the coil, so you can change the capacity on the fly.

Looking forward to your replications results.

Good luck and happy greeting from Norway from my vaccation.
