So called scientific skepticism is slowly being replaced with objective truth seeking. Where so-called scientific skepticism fails is where it attempts to prove something wrong. The problem with such a methodology is that it's far to easy to obtain the results one is seeking. Take diode experiments for example. The ...

When a meter or device says it has say 10 KHz bandwidth, it is referring to the spectrum where the frequency *components* are no higher than 10 KHz. For example a 10 KHz sine wave has one frequency, 10 KHz. Although a 10 KHz square wave has frequencies far higher than 10 KHz. Below are some spectrum graphs of various ...

I found a new type of mechanical switch that might work well for the diode experiments, a Knife switch --> This particular switch is sold by Radio Shack, but is also sold by a store in UK. Although I have not tested this switch yet, it should have ultra high off resistance far above 10 ...

The Mercury tilt switches are *NO* good for the diode measurements. Obviously they work, but their resistance is far to low, so they will shunt the voltage. This good easily explain why the DC voltage produced by the recent in-series LED arrays were slowly decaying. Within an hour or so I'll make a blog post about ...

For some time I forgot about UDE (Ultimate Diode Experiment), where a diode array is connected to a low leakage capacitor, allowed sufficient time to charge the capacitor, and then a mechanical switch will release the capacitors charge through an efficient LED to light the LED enough to be perceived with the unaided ...

After going over the data, there is good correlation between diode and any capacitor placed across it. In short, it appears the DC voltage produced by the diode is greatly effected by long term capacitance. IOW, if you place a capacitor across a diode, the DC voltage produced by that diode will slowly decay over time. ...

My biggest mistake was announcing my ambient thermal energy research. Please don't make the same mistake! I am so thrilled that as we speak people are conducting ambient thermal energy diode research undisclosed. The goal is to achieve a *mobile* diode testing setup that succeeds in obtaining at least 80% to 90% ...

[continued from New diode testing design] Each latched reed relays will be powered by a battery that is controlled by a phototransistor, which is controlled by a beam of light shining through a pin hole in the hammond shield. The phototransistor will be inside the Hammond shield. The LED that shines light on the ...

The present design for the new diode testing setup is same as previously outlined with one exception. There will be *NO* electrical wires entering or exiting the Hammond shield. I will go back to my original fiber optic cable method. A fiber optic cable consists of the fiber, which is usually coated with a resin ...

My goal is to complete the stage 4b diode testing phase by the end of November, 2009. Hopefully within two to three weeks stages 4a and 4b will begin. Stage 4a will consist of testing dozens of unique diodes. Stage 4b is about taking a gamble that a specific diode will meet my minimum requirements that the specific ...
